Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 150

Ines noticed his movements, her pupils shrank instantly, but in just a moment, she quickly calmed down. "I was right. Are you angry? I'm not even done yet. Don't bother leaving your stuff to me. Take it to your coffin if you can. If you insist on giving me the Galeana Group, I'll sell it and donate the money to charity. Don't expect me to help you keep an eye on it.."

"Ines, get out, just go..." Hunter sat on the chair angrily. His chest rose and fell violently, but his voice became weaker and weaker.

Seeing Hunter in distress, Silas quickly tried to calm him down. "Chairman, don't be mad at Ms. Ines. She's always been like this and didn't mean any harm."

Hunter closed his eyes in pain, and took a long time to recover. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ines felt she had already said what she needed to say and walked straight out of the office.

As she left the Galeana Group building, Ines found the sunlight glaring. A tear rolled down her cheek as the image of Hunter's frailty refused to leave her mind.

She had barely taken a few steps when she bumped into a woman walking towards her. Looking up, it was Shirley.

Shirley frowned and asked, "Ines, what are you doing at the company

Ines gave her a disdainful look and said, "I don't need to tell you where I'm going.”

“Ines, you'd better not expect the Galeana Group. Although I promised your father not to reveal what you did in the past, I'm sure I won't regret it, "Shirley said coldly.

Ines raised her eyebrows and looked at Shirley disapprovingly, "Are you threatening.

As long as you keep your composure, I won't argue with you

Shirley, there are some things that I don't want to argue with you for the time being. You'd better not provoke me, either. By the way, hasn't Carlos come back to you for money recently? Don't say I haven't reminded you. That kind of man doesn't have much credibility and will accidentally reveal your secret.”

Shirley's face turned pale, and she suddenly felt a bit flustered. She looked at Ines incredulously, "What do you know?

“I know everything I should and shouldn't know. I advise you to be polite next time you see me so that I can keep your secret. Also, Emma's wedding is approaching, and if you want to watch her get married safely, you'd better stay away from me. I feel nauseous when I see your face.

"You..." Shirley trembled as she pointed at Ines in anger.

Ines swatted her hand away, her gaze icy. "I don't like people pointing at me. It'd be better if you didn't do it again."

Ines returned to her office half an hour before her shift in the afternoon. Throughout the afternoon, she had no intention of work, and Hunter's weak appearance always appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but search for information about lung cancer online, and everything she found, in the end was despairing and made her feel more hopeless. Seeing her in such a state, Amelia suggested she take the rest of the day off to go back and rest early. When Ines arrived at the elevator entrance, she heard two people talking, "

"Did you see? Mr Swanson was with a pretty girl on his arm. If I'm not mistaken, that's Mr. Meyer's daughter. I saw her in the news reports before."

"Are you sure? She looked pretty young. Mr. Swanson is in his thirties."

“Nowadays, it is popular to have old husbands and young wives. There are plenty of couples with more than a decade's age difference."

Ines knew that the only mayor from the Meyer family was Jacob, and his daughter was Ashley, right?

Ines couldn't help but interrupt,"Excuse me, may I ask who you saw just now?"

Ines' identity was no longer a secret in the office. Both were a bit embarrassed to be caught gossiping about her family members. One of them, who was in the same project group as Ines, quickly explained, "Ines, it was your sister-in-law. She came to see Mr Swanson at noon. They talked for a while and left together. We didn't mean to gossip. It just came up in conversation."

Aaron and Ashley? Ines was puzzled about what could be going on between them.

Just as she was leaving the office, she saw Aaron and Ashley walking towards her, their hands intertwined, and Aaron carrying quite a few shopping bags in one hand. Ashley waved at her excitedly, "Izzy!"

Ashley was so enthusiastic, Ines can't even pretend not to know each other. She didn't go to see Aaron, just walked up to Ashley with a smile and asked, "Ashley, why are you here?

Ashley smiled and said, "Aaron just came back. I haven't seen him for a while, so I didn't think he was very busy today. I took him with me to go shopping. Look, these are all my trophies.”

Aaron's gaze occasionally rested on Ines, and he could see that her face was a bit off-colour. However, with Ashley present, he didn't ask much.

"By the way, Izzy, let me introduce you. This is Aaron, Ethan's friend. He's been working in B City and recently came back to A City," Ashley introduced enthusiastically.

Aaron looked at Ashley affectionately, "Ashley, we're colleagues now. She knows me."

"Oh, right! I forgot Izzy is an auditor too," Ashley laughed.

Ines nodded, "Ashley, I have to go, but if you're free, you can come and visit me at work."

After Ines finished speaking, she left. Ashley had an unusual look in her eyes,as she kept her gaze on Aaron. "Aaron, what's the deal with you and Ines? Why are you always staring at her?"

Aaron gently tapped her forehead, "You observe so carefully, do you want to change your career to be a detective again?"
