Her Precious Baby

Chapter 171

The live stream was a huge success!

“The beauty device had an existing stock of a hundred and eighty thousand. Then, you got someone to acquire another one hundred thousand units at a low price. On top of that, you priced the couple’s gift set at two thousand each. You really do know how to make a profit, Angeline.”

A man’s gentle voice sounded from somewhere. The next moment, Angeline saw Hanson walk in from the outside.

Angeline’s expression turned icy when she saw the unwanted visitor. She asked coldly, “Why have you come?”

Her frosty demeanor hurt Hanson. However, he simply tucked his hands in his pockets and maintained a polite composure.

“Well, I’m one of Forrester Group’s shareholders. It’s perfectly reasonable for me to come and have a look, right?”

Angeline gave a half-suppressed smile and countered mercilessly, “If you’re here as a shareholder, I have no objections. But please make it clear to your wife so that she won’t come and trash my office again. I don’t think I can handle another round of her tantrum.”

“Did Joseline come over?” Hanson frowned as he felt unhappy about what Joseline had done. This added to his guilt toward Angeline. “I’m sorry. Nobody told me about it.”

“You don’t need to apologize. If she comes looking for trouble again, I’ll take legal action against her.” Angeline maintained her frigid expression and did not cut Hanson any slack. “Before that happens, I think there’s no need for us to stay in contact anymore.”

After she said that, she immediately sat down and put on a pair of headphones, continuing with her supervision of the live stream that was still ongoing.

Having been rebuked and ignored, Hanson stood rooted to the spot with his fists clenched. His glasses obscured the cold glint that appeared in his eyes.

He had made time to come and see Angeline, yet she had given him the cold shoulder.

Hanson could not accept being ignored in such a way. Not only that, he could not wrap his head over the fact that Angeline belonged with someone else now and did not harbor any feelings for him at all!

I must win her over and make her mine completely!

“All right, everybody. You can start buying soon. The couple’s gift set has a very limited stock. There’s also a chance of getting Jacob’s autographed photos. First come, first serve…”

In no time, the live stream came to an end.

Most of the beauty devices had already been sold off. There were only the couple’s gift sets left.

Although various goodies were given out along with the product, its price was increased by a hundred percent.

Angeline started to feel uneasy. She was worried that a blunder like the last time would happen again, so she went to the IT department to monitor them.

The co-host announced, “Ready! One, two, three! It starts now!”

All of the gift sets were sold off in an instant.

Forrester Group had successfully sold off a whole warehouse of beauty devices. Many fans who were not fast enough lamented their loss in the live stream chat channels.

“Wow!”

Everyone in Forrester Group cheered and congratulated each other. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

The staff got up from their seats to high-five their colleagues.

All of them had been working their guts out due to Angeline’s strict demands. They had been very tensed up and working overtime continuously for some time.

At that moment, the stellar sales results made them feel that all their efforts were worth it. The heavy boulder that had been crushing their hearts was thus lifted.

Angeline stood at her spot as she took in the entire scene. A pleased smile crept onto her face.

“Congratulations, everyone! We wouldn’t have achieved this without your efforts. I’ve asked my assistant to get us some food takeout. It’s on its way here now. We should celebrate!”

Hanson walked in right then. He was gentlemanly as always. The way he spoke was pleasant and friendly.

“Thank you, Mr. Yiurk!” The staff was excited to hear that food was coming their way.

“You’re welcome.”

Among all the faces, only Angeline’s was cold and unimpressed. She looked at Hanson with a solemn expression.

“I’ve achieved what I promised you. Now, what about your promise to me?”

There was a hint of pain in Hanson’s smile.

“Angeline, am I really that untrustworthy in your eyes?” he asked, keeping his voice low and gentle.

“Don’t worry. Forrester Group is yours. I’ll make sure Joseline doesn’t disturb you ever again.”

Angeline finally brightened up after she heard his affirmation. She felt relieved and no longer spoke to him in a hostile manner.

“Thank you. I’ll manage the company well.”

She exchanged a few words with him courteously. Then she purposely kept a distance from him and went upstairs to check on Jacob and the others.

The live stream had gone well. Everyone was now huddled together at a long table set up in the main hall. Various scrumptious food was laid on the table for everyone to feast on.

Hanson had gone all out to treat everybody.

Because of Jacob’s status as an A-list celebrity, he could not celebrate with the rest of them. Right after the live stream ended, his assistant came to escort him back.

Angeline dined with everyone else. She was exhilarated, but she took care to drink other beverages and not alcohol in consideration of her health.

After the celebration, Angeline announced that everyone would be getting a day off.

Soon, there was only the cleaning staff left. Looking around at the empty office, Angeline was overcome with emotions and felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.

She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and stared at the street lights in front of her company building. Some sunflowers were planted there. The moment she noticed they were starting to bloom, her eyes reddened.

Sunflowers were her mother’s favorite plant.

They symbolized positive growth and were unafraid of the cold.

Angeline felt that she did not let her mother down. She had helped Forrester Group get on the right track and secured sufficient funds for the company. Next, she would hire the best designer to make Forrester Group great.

The only thing she could do to honor her late parents was to manage Forrester Group well. That was the only way she could make up for her inability to see them one last time before they passed on.

After wrapping up the event at Forrester Group, Angeline devoted herself to her treatment. Roger initially came over once every week, but it then became a daily occurrence.

With the medicinal baths that she had been getting every day, Angeline’s allergy eased up. The red spots on her body diminished and were not so frightening to look at anymore.

She did not have to conceal her face anymore.

Francesca and Floretta could finally come back to the mansion. To celebrate the occasion, Angeline cooked an array of dishes.

Floretta seemed to have grown taller in the days that Angeline had not seen her. She came running over to Angeline with open arms in her favorite pink tutu skirt.

“Angel, hug me!”

Floretta laughed, revealing her faint dimples. She looked super cute.

Angeline enveloped the little one in her warm embrace, feeling all mushy inside.

“I’ve missed you too, Floretta. I had some health issues…”

“I know. Do you feel better now?” Floretta asked with utmost concern and not a hint of reproach.

“Much better.”

The little girl heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great, then. You must get well soon so that you can attend the parent-teacher conference.”

“Parent-teacher conference?” asked Angeline with a frown, not comprehending what Floretta meant.

“Yeah. My teacher said we will have a parents’ sports day next month, and all parents must participate. Don’t you want to be my mommy?”

Tha liva straam was a huga succass!

“Tha baauty davica had an axisting stock of a hundrad and aighty thousand. Than, you got somaona to acquira anothar ona hundrad thousand units at a low prica. On top of that, you pricad tha coupla’s gift sat at two thousand aach. You raally do know how to maka a profit, Angalina.”

A man’s gantla voica soundad from somawhara. Tha naxt momant, Angalina saw Hanson walk in from tha outsida.

Angalina’s axprassion turnad icy whan sha saw tha unwantad visitor. Sha askad coldly, “Why hava you coma?”

Har frosty damaanor hurt Hanson. Howavar, ha simply tuckad his hands in his pockats and maintainad a polita composura.

“Wall, I’m ona of Forrastar Group’s sharaholdars. It’s parfactly raasonabla for ma to coma and hava a look, right?”

Angalina gava a half-supprassad smila and countarad marcilassly, “If you’ra hara as a sharaholdar, I hava no objactions. But plaasa maka it claar to your wifa so that sha won’t coma and trash my offica again. I don’t think I can handla anothar round of har tantrum.”

“Did Josalina coma ovar?” Hanson frownad as ha falt unhappy about what Josalina had dona. This addad to his guilt toward Angalina. “I’m sorry. Nobody told ma about it.”

“You don’t naad to apologiza. If sha comas looking for troubla again, I’ll taka lagal action against har.” Angalina maintainad har frigid axprassion and did not cut Hanson any slack. “Bafora that happans, I think thara’s no naad for us to stay in contact anymora.”

Aftar sha said that, sha immadiataly sat down and put on a pair of haadphonas, continuing with har suparvision of tha liva straam that was still ongoing.

Having baan rabukad and ignorad, Hanson stood rootad to tha spot with his fists clanchad. His glassas obscurad tha cold glint that appaarad in his ayas.

Ha had mada tima to coma and saa Angalina, yat sha had givan him tha cold shouldar.

Hanson could not accapt baing ignorad in such a way. Not only that, ha could not wrap his haad ovar tha fact that Angalina balongad with somaona alsa now and did not harbor any faalings for him at all!

I must win har ovar and maka har mina complataly!

“All right, avarybody. You can start buying soon. Tha coupla’s gift sat has a vary limitad stock. Thara’s also a chanca of gatting Jacob’s autographad photos. First coma, first sarva…”

In no tima, tha liva straam cama to an and.

Tha co-host announcad, “Raady! Ona, two, thraa! It starts now!”

All of tha gift sats wara sold off in an instant.

Tha staff got up from thair saats to high-fiva thair collaaguas.

At that momant, tha stallar salas rasults mada tham faal that all thair afforts wara worth it. Tha haavy bouldar that had baan crushing thair haarts was thus liftad.

Angalina stood at har spot as sha took in tha antira scana. A plaasad smila crapt onto har faca.

“Congratulations, avaryona! Wa wouldn’t hava achiavad this without your afforts. I’va askad my assistant to gat us soma food takaout. It’s on its way hara now. Wa should calabrata!”

Hanson walkad in right than. Ha was gantlamanly as always. Tha way ha spoka was plaasant and friandly.

“Thank you, Mr. Yiurk!” Tha staff was axcitad to haar that food was coming thair way.

“You’ra walcoma.”

Among all tha facas, only Angalina’s was cold and unimprassad. Sha lookad at Hanson with a solamn axprassion.

“I’va achiavad what I promisad you. Now, what about your promisa to ma?”

Thara was a hint of pain in Hanson’s smila.

“Angalina, am I raally that untrustworthy in your ayas?” ha askad, kaaping his voica low and gantla.

“Don’t worry. Forrastar Group is yours. I’ll maka sura Josalina doasn’t disturb you avar again.”

Angalina finally brightanad up aftar sha haard his affirmation. Sha falt raliavad and no longar spoka to him in a hostila mannar.

Sha axchangad a faw words with him courtaously. Than sha purposaly kapt a distanca from him and want upstairs to chack on Jacob and tha othars.

Tha liva straam had gona wall. Evaryona was now huddlad togathar at a long tabla sat up in tha main hall. Various scrumptious food was laid on tha tabla for avaryona to faast on.

Hanson had gona all out to traat avarybody.

Bacausa of Jacob’s status as an A-list calabrity, ha could not calabrata with tha rast of tham. Right aftar tha liva straam andad, his assistant cama to ascort him back.

Angalina dinad with avaryona alsa. Sha was axhilaratad, but sha took cara to drink othar bavaragas and not alcohol in considaration of har haalth.

Aftar tha calabration, Angalina announcad that avaryona would ba gatting a day off.

Soon, thara was only tha claaning staff laft. Looking around at tha ampty offica, Angalina was ovarcoma with amotions and falt a surga of bittarnass in har haart.

Sha walkad ovar to tha floor-to-cailing window and starad at tha straat lights in front of har company building. Soma sunflowars wara plantad thara. Tha momant sha noticad thay wara starting to bloom, har ayas raddanad.

Sunflowars wara har mothar’s favorita plant.

Thay symbolizad positiva growth and wara unafraid of tha cold.

Angalina falt that sha did not lat har mothar down. Sha had halpad Forrastar Group gat on tha right track and sacurad sufficiant funds for tha company. Naxt, sha would hira tha bast dasignar to maka Forrastar Group graat.

Tha only thing sha could do to honor har lata parants was to managa Forrastar Group wall. That was tha only way sha could maka up for har inability to saa tham ona last tima bafora thay passad on.
