Because Your Love Heals Me - Chapter 72

Back at his house, Alan was still seething with anger. He still could not digest the fact that Alex had just robbed him out of one of his companies! When he arrived, his wife and daughter were waiting to hear what Alex had decided. They did not want to admit it, but she really was their saviour now.

As soon as he entered the living room, he grabbed a cup of water and sat down furiously on the couch, not caring about his family members. Sheila, who was anxiously waiting for her husband to know the result of his discussion with Alex, could not wait anymore and came to him, asking him unhappily:

“How was it with your lousy daughter?” You could sense her unhappiness just by the way she asked the question!

“Do not get me started, I am not in the mood to deal with your stupidity and whining today!!!! I have to give up our only money stream to get her to accept to marry Eliott. And all of this is your fault and your children’s fault! You always screw things up! Did you come into my life to be my worst nightmare?” Alan was genuinely upset and in no mood to deal with his wife’s petty jealousy.

Sheila was shocked and surprised by her husband’s harsh and cold words, but what surprised her the most was the fact that he had actually accepted to give the old Michell company back to his illegitimate child! it was a lot of money, and he just gave it to that stupid woman’s daughter like it was nothing! She could not take it, she had to sacrifice her relationship, back then so he could deceive Alix and rob the company! She could not just take it, all her suffering back then was for nothing.

“What? do not tell me you’ll accept giving it back? We can not give it to her… You know all our money is from that company now!!! I sacrificed too much for us to get it! How can you…” She was furious and screamed her head off until she was unable to finish her sentence.

“You think I was willing to give it to her? This is the only way for her to help us!” Alan groaned, he was so annoyed with his wife’s victory that he would not even look at her.

“Who knows …”

Alan could not bear to hear what other stupid things she would say and interrupted her halfway! “Do not start with your silliness! I am not in the mood for your whine today! If we are in this situation, it’s because of you and your children!!! We need the Jensen family to help us save PRICELESS! And Alex is the only one who can help me! Everyone knew she is my daughter and just announcing her marriage to Eliott will be a huge help to the company!”

While arguing with his wife, Clyde stormed into their living room, gasping, “Dad, bad news, someone is buying our shares from the other shareholders, more than half of them have already sold their shares! I have been trying to find out who the buyer is, but I have not found anything! What are we going to do!!!? ”

Alan was a bit stunned by this news. He had spoken to the other shareholders to mend fences, convincing them that he would soon solve the problem that PRICELESS had. While it was true that it was Clyde Porter’s investment that had gotten the company into trouble, there were now so many shareholders who were not sympathetic to him and were starting to make a fuss, funnily enough, they were all his family members that he had brought into the company thanks to his father! Besides, he had already bribed them so he did not expect them to sell their shares so quickly because that just meant they no longer had confidence in him!

That worried him a little, because even though he was the main shareholder, he, along with Aria, Clyde and his own shares plus Alex’s mother’s shares, had 50% of the shares of PRICELESS. If one person managed to buy the shares of all the other shareholders, that person would own 50% of the company. He could not let that happen, because that would mean losing his company to someone else! He frowned at the thought of that possibility, he could not let that happen, he had to close the deal with Alex as soon as possible!

On the other hand, Clyde and his mother were still asking him what they should do! His head was already spinning and he looked at him with a disgusted look.

“Now you come and ask me what we should do? Isn’t it you who are the cause of all this mess? Aren’t you too brazen to come crying in my face? Why are you coming to look for me now while you are the one who lost all my damn money”?

Alan could not stand the sight of them and angrily asked them to get out of his sight. To this day, he never regretted having Clyde. He could not help feeling that his whole family was useless. His own children were destroying his business and the other members of his family were selling their shares without even having the decency to inform him. At this point, he began to think that bad luck was nipping at his heels, that this year really was not for him.

Back at the club, Fidelia was enjoying herself with her two new friends, while occasionally glancing at Christopher’s table, who had not seen her until now, enjoying himself with his friends. One of the girls noticed that Fidelia was watching this table very closely. She became curious and also looked at the table and asked her if she knew the people at that table.

“Fidelia, why do you look at that table so often? Do you know anyone there?” Amelia looked at Fidelia, who looked at that table even more with her sharp eyes.

“Yeah, that little piece of shit all those girls are throwing themselves at!” Fidelia smiled devilishly

Amelia and Kristal looked at each other after looking at the guy Fidelia was talking about, and then smiled as they looked at Fidelia…

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Fidelia looked at the two women perplexed!

“No, no, nothing, just that he’s a pretty good looking guy, you can say that a lot of women in this city love him… How did you meet him?” Kristal asked very curiously. Fidelia looked like a bright and down to earth woman, not like all the superficial women she had seen all over Christopher Zhang. So she could not guess in what way she was related to him.

“He’s my boyfriend…” Fidelia grinned and took a sip of her drink.

At Eliott place, after they ate dinner, Alex and Eliott chatted lazily on the couch, Alex nestled in Eliott’s warm and strong arms. It was a peaceful moment they shared. Alex shared what had happened with Alan, unaware that he had already listened to all of their conversations. Eliott listened quietly, looking amused at her face, making all sorts of expressions as she talked about her father.

She was very happy about her success and was already thinking about how to restore her grandfather’s manufactory and brand. She told Eliott her ideas and rested her head on his chest unceremoniously. He was very happy as he listened to her. He wished that this peaceful atmosphere would last forever, he already wanted to live with her. The fact that she was so comfortable lying on top of him and talking to him like this made him forget all the frustration he had felt when he had overheard her talking to her father.

But something was still bothering him and being someone who did not like to beat around the bush and wanted to get his worries out of the way as quickly as possible, he decided to talk to her.

“Honey, can I ask you a question?”

Alex had slowly gotten used to Eliott’s habit by now. To tell the truth, when she had read the articles about him in the business magazines, she guessed that he was not someone you could approach easily, and when she saw him talking to other people, you could see that he was an aloof and cold man. Only with his family could you see that he was genuinely warm and always smiling, even though his poker face was still there sometimes, you could see his caring in his eyes.

It was the same with Alex. When he was with her he was always teasing her or smiling, he was always in a good mood and she liked that because it meant she was special in his heart.. So when he asked her the question with his usual poker face, she was a little surprised and panicked because she did not know what he wanted to talk about.
