Chapter 339
Blake's POV
At this time, I was busy looking for Olivia, but I did not expect that there was an even more serious thing happening.
The newly developed high-end apartment of the Chavez Group was located in an excellent location. There was a bay next to it, so the apartment was very popular. The entire apartment was in final progress.
However, at this time, a construction worker fell from the tenth floor, fell directly onto the floor, and died on the spot.
I woke up from the warm blanket at the shocking news.
When I received the call from my assistant, Dowen, my expression instantly changed.
'First, send someone to his family first. I'll be right there. Also, don't let this matter be exposed." It happened at such a time, making me suspicious.
"What's wrong?" Catherine asked with concern when she saw that I had changed my clothes.
"It's nothing. Just go back to sleep. I have to go to work now." I comforted her.
In the cold morning, my car drove into the construction site. At this moment, Dowen was already questioning the construction team. The injured person had been sent to the hospital a long time ago. I heard that he was still breathing when he fell, and then people immediately sent him to the hospital for rescue. However, on the way to the hospital, he died.
I walked quickly to the scene. The floor was stained with a large amount of blood. The scene was too horrible to look at. The smell of blood on the scene made Leroy a little annoyed. I put my hand on my chest and comforted Leroy.
"What exactly happened?" I asked calmly.
The construction director, Mike, immediately came over to explain. He looked terrified. "Charles must have gone out to drink again last night. He was drunk and went upstairs to sleep. That's why he fell off in the early morning."
I was furious when I heard this explanation. "How can they let a drunk guy go up there? Don't you have any rules about it?"
"King Blake, we didn't know he went up either!"
When Dowen saw my angry expression, he immediately asked in a low voice, "King Blake, what should we do?"
*Call the police! Let them find out the truth of what really happened here. Also, we should release the news now. Tell the public that he did not die here and that we sent him to rescue him. As for the hospital, you know what to do, right?"
*King Blake, let's talk in the car, Dowen suggested in a soft voice, because some words were inconvenient to say in front of others.
With a dark expression, I turned around and walked to the car.
After sitting in the car, Dowen couldn't help but look concerned. "If the buyers ask for a refund and compensation, we might lose tens of millions..."
"Can't you tell? Someone is setting us up. Therefore, we should let the police intervene. At least, we won't be in a passive position. I don't care how much money we lose. I only hope that this matter can be a turning point. If it really has something to do with Richard, the police will find the evidence. At that time, he will also be in trouble," I explained to Dowen.
Dowen's expression changed. He exclaimed, "Do you think that this wasn't an accident?"
'An accident? And it happened at this perfect timing? Keep in mind, any accident from now on might have something to do with Richard," I reminded him in a low voice.
Dowen suddenly realized it. He said angrily, "Richard is really unscrupulous. How could he do such a thing?"
'Forget about him for now. Let's deal with this problem first. He must think that I will try to cover this up. So, he can set me up," I sneered.
"How wicked! King Blake, don't be tricked by him,' Dowen said worriedly.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Trick? I can do it too!" My expression darkened.
*King Blake, what's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind,' Dowen asked immediately.
I trusted Dowen, so I finally found someone to talk to about this sad thing.
'Emerson doesn't have much time left!'
"What happened to Emerson? Is his condition getting worse?" Dowen was also shocked.
I looked out the window, feeling upset. "Yes, I only found out about this after eavesdropping on Emerson and Patricia. So for the next few months, I don't want to fight Richard too fiercely!"
"How could this be? Didn't the doctor say that Emerson is in good health and that he can live for a few more years?" Dowen was surprised. He did not expect things to turn this way. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.
"They've been lying to me." The sadness in my expression could not be hidden.
The incident of people falling off the building was reported by the media right away. Combined with the injuries report given by the hospital and the information given by the police, it could be determined that the cause of the fall was the dead drunk. He was not working, and it was an accident.
At noon, everyone in the city knew about it. The proactive attitude of the Chavez Group reversed the negative impact of this matter.
The crisis was solved, but I knew that Richard would not stop.
At noon, I received a call from Catherine and my friends. I was very moved by their concern for me and comforted them. However, I knew that the best solution to this matter was to cooperate with the police and the media to investigate it and handle the aftermath properly, leaving no chance for Richard to make other moves.
When I saw the family members of the dead in the afternoon, I was keenly aware that the attitude of the dead guy's brother was strange. I asked Dowen to keep an eye on this person, and then I planned to go back to work. Somehow, I wanted to see Catherine.
I took out my phone and called Catherine. "I will come to your company in half an hour. Come down. I want to see you."
Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then she agreed.
When she opened the car door, I pulled her over and held her in my arms.
"How are you?" Catherine looked at me with worry.
'I'm fine. The problem is solved." I hugged her and didn't want to let go.
Catherine also hugged me tightly. I liked the feeling of being held tightly by her. The feeling of being loved was wonderful.
"I knew you could handle it. Catherine leaned gently into my arms. She leaned on my chest and listened to my heartbeat.
At this moment, the car had already reached the main road and soon arrived at the company headquarters building.
Catherine went to the office with me. As soon as I entered the office, she stared at the documents on the table in a dlaze.
*Staring at my desk, what are you thinking now?' I took off my coat and placed it on the sofa.
Catherine shook her head and sighed, "Do you feel tired since you have to deal with so many things every day?"
"Sometimes, but this is my job and I must get them done," I replied calmly. Since I was a child, I knew what it meant to be Lycan King. Power came with responsibility.
Catherine turned her head and looked at me. "The wolf pack and the company are fine now. Don't make yourself too tired. Just relax and rest sometimes."
"If I don't deal with these things, the wolf pack and the company will have problems." I gently pinched her face.
I sat on the sofa and let Catherine sit on my lap. We simply looked at each other and I felt content.
We sat there quietly, neither of us wanting to speak.
Suddenly, this peace was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Catherine blushed. She wanted to stand up, but I held her back.
"Don't be like this. I don't want others to see us like this." Catherine was anxious.
I knew she was shy, so I let her go.
Catherine quickly straightened her clothes and sat on the sofa next to me.
"Come in!" I said.
The door was pushed open, and an assistant trembled as he said, "King Blake, meeting room 3 is ready. Please
head over to the meeting!"
I said in a deep voice, "OK. I will be there in three minutes."
After the assistant left, I got up and walked over to Catherine.
I pinched her chin and kissed her. Two minutes later, I said gently, "Wait for me. I'll be back in an hour."
"Okay!" Catherine did not dare to look up at me.
"If you are bored, take my iPad and watch a movie. The password is the children's birthday!"
"Okay!" Catherine smiled.
I liked her tenderness. I kissed her again before leaving the office.
