Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

When Sion’s call came in, Aurora was feeling a bit annoyed. The company was already in a state of emergency, and she didn’t have time to argue with him.

“What do you want?!” she snapped.

There was a pause before Sion’s voice came through, cool and resigned.

“I helped you out of such a big mess, is this how you thank me?”

Aurora took a moment to process what he said. Did that mean he also helped with the media situation?

Her tone softened as she asked, “Did you intercept the news for me?”

Sion couldn’t help but chuckle at her intelligence.

“Yes, so how are you going to thank me?”

Aurora took a deep breath; she couldn’t figure out why he did all this for her. Suddenly remembering his confession that night at her villa made her cheeks flush red. She shook off those thoughts and said instead, “How much did it cost? I’ll have my assistant transfer it to your account. And… thank you.”

If it weren’t for his help, the news would’ve caused serious consequences. Crescent Group’s stocks would’ve been affected too. Plus yesterday’s incident, which was another favour from him, meant that a ‘thank you’ wasn’t enough.

But Sion didn’t seem interested in what she had just said. Instead, he went straight to business, saying, “Never mind about thanking me now. Come with me somewhere and we can talk later.”

“Where?”

“You’ll know when we get there,” Sion replied before hanging up abruptly. It was the first time that Aurora felt strange after being hung up on by someone else. Her curiosity got the better of her as she went down to meet him anyway.

When they got into his car together, Aurora was surprised by what he told her next. She never expected Sion could be so prescient within such a short period. He had already arranged for them to visit another factory which they urgently needed due to project deadlines.

Upon arrival at their destination, Albie greeted them both warmly, which left Aurora wondering if these two could work well together after all. After a discussion with them, she was even more surprised by Sion’s choice of a new factory. It turned out to be a subcontractor for a famous foreign company. Now not only was this incident resolved, but their collaboration profits could also significantly increase.

“How was it, Mr Doyle? As you can see, the project proceed as planned, you should be relieved now.”

Sion’s tone was normal, but there was an underlying sense of provocation.

“Of course.” Albie remained composed, “Thanks for your help.”

“I helped Aurora. Besides, Mr Doyle fought against the pressure to give us time, you should be thanked instead.”

Albie lowered his gaze and suppressed his bitterness, “As Aurora’s brother, it’s my duty.”

Aurora glanced at Sion. She wanted to say something but knew that Sion had helped her just now so she said, “I should thank both of you. You’re both my saviours!”

“…”

Sion and Albie exchanged glances with disdain in their eyes.

Two decisive CEOs were acting like children. Aurora sighed inwardly, unwilling to become their pawn.

“Mr Carroll, Albie, I still have much work to do at the office. So I’ll take my leave first unless you guys want to stay back for some bonding time?”

Albie looked at her and said while smiling, “You go ahead then. Take care.”

Sion chimed in too, “If there’s anything I can do for you just let me know.”

Aurora smiled politely before turning around and leaving. The three of them headed back separately into their own companies’ buildings.

Once seated on her office chair, catching up with some breaths, Aurora heard a ringtone of her phone. It was Mr L’s call, which meant he must have found something out already.

She put it through.

“Nevaeh went looking for Karen yesterday and Karen has been seen near that subcontractor factory.”

Just this one sentence successfully changed Aurora’s facial expression completely. Never did she expect these two people would have any connection. She asked incredulously, “They know each other?”

L replied nonchalantly, “Yes, indeed they do. They knew each other when they were abroad together.”

Aurora straightened up and said, “I haven’t expected that.”

Mr L on the other side continued, “The two of them met and I don’t know what they said, but Karen left in a fit of anger. The next morning, she appeared near your company’s factory.”

Aurora’s gaze sharpened as she understood.

“So it was Karen who did this.” Said she.

The factory was in a remote location and unless someone went there intentionally, someone like Karen who never got her high heels dirty wouldn’t go there.

“Exactly! Do you want me to gather all the evidence?”

Karen was completely stupid and had no sense of wrongdoing. Finding evidence would be easy.

As for whether or not to sue her, Aurora was hesitant. She remembered what she had said about her relationship with Albie before. Their families were old friends and their engagement should have been arranged by their families too.

So she paused before saying, “Let’s keep it for now.”

“All right.” Mr L didn’t say anything more after confirming before hanging up the phone.

Aurora leaned back in her seat with closed eyes, as her restless heart gradually calmed down in silence. These past few days had been full of troubles one after another. Even though most problems had already been resolved, Aurora owed Sion a favour, which wasn’t something she wanted to do at all.

But she was clear that the most important thing now was to meet with the person responsible for causing these troubles from the beginning.

Aurora stood up holding onto her bag then drove directly towards an office building, which used to be very familiar to her.

Karen was currently Albie’s assistant. On account of both her identity and personality, she was pretty arrogant at the company.

When Aurora walked into the office area, Karen happened to be bossing around a female designer.

“What? Shut up!”

As soon as Karen spoke out loud everyone else fell silent within earshot distance. There were quite a few people at Albie’s company who knew Aurora. Karen coldly looked towards Aurora saying, “What are you doing here? You’re not welcome!”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Although Aurora remained calm on the surface, there was an inexplicable aura emanating from her that made people shiver slightly.

“Of course, I came to see you.”
