Chapter 150 First step of retaliation
Jonathan and Liliana were thoroughly enjoying their kissing sessions when they were interrupted by a call on Liliana’s phone.
“Hang up!” Jonathan said with a pout, which made Liliana laugh as she picked up the phone and put it on the loudspeaker.
“Boss, everything is ready. Shall we proceed?” Vincent asked.
“Vincent!” Jonathan exclaimed before Liliana could respond, “When did you switch jobs?” He asked as he looked at Liliana.
“She pays better, boss.” Vincent joked.
Jonathan was speechless as Liliana laughed.
“Yeah, go ahead Vincent. Coordinate with Alice, and tell Mer as well. You can discuss the aftermath with Alice. Don’t bother with Smith Group’s PR.” Liliana succinctly said.
“Alright boss. I will get to it.” Vincent hung up and proceeded with the first step of their retaliation.
Jonathan looked at Liliana who seemed to have taken over his role, and his assistant and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Didn’t you ask me to talk to Vincent? I had him coordinate with my assistant, Alice. Stone Group’s offshore business and all their off-shore capital is gone. Now that their back-up is gone, and she has been over-smart posting nonsense like that, the next is the video and then their business, and then the things she did in Kings High.”
Liliana explained as she lifted Jonathan’s shirt to check on his wound again.
“Why did you not tell me?” He asked.
“I divided our works. I deal with them, and you make me happy.” She said tilting her head to the side as she looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes.
“I like this division. You take Vincent and all my resources, delegate all work, and I will make you happy all day long,” Jonathan said with a smirk.
Liliana laughed as she understood his point.
“Alright! You rest well. I will go get the kids. I don’t want them to be with Mer when the news comes out. She has no filter, as you may have noticed.”
Jonathan wanted to continue making out but he nodded. He did not want kids within earshot of Mer’s outbursts.
Liliana arrived at the VIP ward and saw the kids playing ludo with Andrew and the gardener. Mer was lying on the side with her head on her mother’s lap.
She took a photo quickly and joined them.
When the game ended, she asked the elders to rest as she took the kids away.
“Hey, what about me?” Mariana exclaimed, making everyone laugh as her mother hit her on the back of her head.
“Lil, take me away, your aunt is bullying me,” Mariana cried instead which made her mother shake in anger.
Andrew knew his wife and daughter best, so he pulled Merideth to his side and asked her for some water, distracting her. As she turned around, he gestured for the kids to go quickly.
The two older gentlemen were doing alright, but Liliana had insisted that they stay in the hospital for at least a week which was a good opportunity for them to relax as they also got full body check-ups.
The P city hospital’s VIP and VVIP wards were for the ultra-rich people and so staying there like a vacation was not a big deal as they were just spending money on expensive hospital rooms which were empty anyway. It was not like they were hogging empty beds which could have been used by actually sick people.
Mariana asked Liliana what was the matter as soon as they were in the VVIP corridor.
“It’s done. You can check the news.” She simply said as she first entered the HDU.
They were first escorted to a separate room by a nurse who had them wear isolation gowns and then they were allowed inside to see Li.
For better monitoring, Henry and Doctor Brown had insisted on keeping Li in HDU for a week before he was transferred to the VVIP ward where he would have to stay for one more week.
Li was sleeping when they got there but he was awakened by the noise.
Doctor Brown had assured them that it was okay to wake him up and talk to him from time to time as long as he was not overly excited.
They chatted for a while as the kids filled Li in on Jonathan’s grievances in the afternoon.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as they were narrating the story, Jo stopped halfway through and sighed, “Oh, No! We came without daddy again. He had wanted to go with us. Last time he scolded us when we forgot and said that if we all come individually, you will be tired.”
Li had an imperceptible smile on his face as he heard that.
