Unexpectedly, all those partners suddenly stopped the negotiation and chose to cooperate with other suppliers.
If it happened just once, Michael would not doubt it.
But it happened over and over again. Michael definitely knew that something must have happened or he had offended someone he shouldn’t have.
Sure enough, only God knew how angry he was when he knew that Katya drugged Zoe, and provoked Henry.
But no matter how angry he was, Katya was his daughter, and he had to protect her.
He had thought that Zoe had asked Henry to do all these things, but to his surprise, judged from her reaction just now, she seemed to know nothing at all!
Henry had done so much for her, but she even didn’t know anything… It surely indicated how important she was to Henry…
Michael didn’t dare to think about it anymore. He felt a little regretful.
If only he hadn’t let Zoe leave back then.
Maybe she couldn’t bring any benefits to the Anderson family, but at least the Anderson would not have offended such a big enemy as Henry.
At the thought of this, Michael felt bitter. He persuaded humbly, “In that case, you probably don’t know it, but it doesn’t matter. You just need to go back and tell Mr. Han that the Anderson family has no intention of putting you in a difficult position. Please ask him to let us go. I will discipline my children from now on and won’t let them provoke you again. You just need
to say that.”
Zoe was stunned for a moment, and then she understood.
With a smile, she said, “Okay. But you have to keep your word. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I can help you again if something should happen next time.”
Michael hurriedly promised, “Yes, I understand.”
Zoe nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll let it go. I gotta go now. You can go get her yourself!”
Michael smiled and said, “Okay, thank you, Zoe.”
Without saying anything, Zoe turned around and left.
When she left, she happened to see Katya being taken out.
As soon as she saw Zoe, she immediately rushed towards Zoe crazily.
“Zoe Gil! You bitch! Stop there! How dare you send me to jail? I must kill you. I won’t let you go. I won’t let you go!”
With a sarcastic smile on her lips, Zoe took a look at her as if she were looking at a piece of trash. Without any hesitation, she strode away.
Katya was still cursing, but she couldn’t get rid of the two policemen.
She roared, “Why are you catching me? You should catch that woman! She crippled four of my bodyguards. I haven’t gotten even with her yet! Are you all dead? She has committed such a serious crime. Why don’t you guys arrest her but come to make trouble for me? Shouldn’t you follow the law?”
The two policemen were expressionless.
Hearing that, Michael felt a headache and couldn’t help shouting angrily, “Shut up!”
Katya screamed, “No! Dad, you also just let her do whatever she wants! Have that bitch used some spells on you and my brother? Why did you let her go after she did so much to me?”
Michael couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped her across her face.
Katya turned her head and looked at him in disbelief.
“Dad! You… You slap me?”
Michael gritted his teeth and said, “I think I should have slapped you a long time ago! I thought a girl should be doted on. Now I think it’s just because I spoiled you too much that you become so rebellious!”
Looking at Michael’s livid face, Katya realized that her father was really angry this time.
She immediately softened her attitude and cried, “Dad, I’m sorry. Don’t be angry, okay? I’m just angry that she always bullied Annie and tried to seduce my brother. I… I just want to teach her a lesson.”
Michael didn’t want to find out the reason anymore.
He rubbed his aching forehead and said wearily, “You can go abroad with your cousin next week! Stay there for a couple of years and learn something. Don’t come back soon.”
Katya’s eyes widened.
“What? Dad, you’re going to send me abroad? I won’t go!”
Michael vsaid in a cold voice, “You have to go this time, no negotiation!”
“Dad! Are you going to abandon your own daughter just for that woman? I won’t go! I won’t go even if I die!”
Michael didn’t want to talk to her anymore. He called two bodyguards in and sent her home by force.
Then he turned around and went out.
After getting in the car, the driver asked respectfully, “Mr. Anderson, where are we going now?”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Michael rubbed between his eyebrows and said wearily, “Go back to the company. I need to have a look there.”
“Yes, sir.”
After the driver started the car, Michael looked out of the window. Thinking of what Katya had just said, he sneered.
For Zoe?
Huh! How could he abandon his own daughter just for Zoe?
It was for that man!
That man… He was so powerful that a local merchant family like the Anderson couldn’t afford to offend him.
But why did such a person stay in Julio for such a long time? It had been half a year!
What the hell was he doing here?
Michael was lost in his thought.
…
Meanwhile, Zoe returned to the Han Mansion, took a shower and changed her clothes.
After that, it was already six in the afternoon.
Mrs. Dottie had prepared the dinner and asked her to have it. Zoe looked at the watch and asked doubtfully, “Won’t Henry come back for dinner today?”
Mrs. Dottie smiled and said, “He has to work overtime today. He called me just now and said that he wouldn’t come back for dinner today.”
Zoe nodded and rolled her eyes.
Work overtime?
She didn’t know whether it was true or not.
Since she had nothing else to do today, she might as well go and have a look.
Thinking of this, she said to Mrs. Dottie, “I have an idea. Please help me pack the food up. I’ll bring it to him. Oh, also put mine along with it.”
Mrs. Dottie was happy and surprised to hear that.
“Okay, I’ll do it right away,” she said hurriedly.
It was a good thing that Mr. and Mrs. Han had a good relationship, and she was so happy that she walked even faster.
Zoe went back upstairs and took her bag. She planned to go shopping when she came back later, where she could buy a new phone and a new phone card.
When she went downstairs, Mrs. Dottie had already packed the food.
Zoe walked out of the door with the hamper in her hand. Mrs. Kylee sent her out to the door and said with a smile, “Mrs. Han, let the driver send you there!”
Zoe shook her head. “No, thanks. I can drive myself.”
“Okay, take care.”
Zoe put the hamper on the passenger seat, started the car and drove out.
In the Han Properties.
Henry was having a meeting. The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little heavy.
Almost all the senior executives of the company were present. Facing the man sitting on the main seat, no one dared to relax. They all braced themselves up to listen to him.
Although the meeting had lasted for the whole afternoon, no one dared to complain.
The project manager was reporting his work in front of the projector.
After reporting, he saw that Henry’s face was getting darker and darker, which made him nervous.
