Crossroads

Chapter 120

Dominick had just asked the question when the phone on the counter suddenly rang. It was a call from the company.

After he answered the phone, his face turned grim as he listened to the report on the other end. Seeing that, the people in the ward immediately fell silent.

Stephanic, sitting next to Dominick, could barely make out a few words. “We need you back in the country…”

Eventually, he responded indifferently. “I’ll return to the country tomorrow.”

“Did something happen?” Stephanie asked, her brows furrowing with concern as she looked at Dominick.

“It’s nothing.” Dominick replied, as he never talked much about company matters with her.

Stephanie asked tentatively, “Is it because the car accident affected the company…”

She was somewhat worried and wanted to know more, but Dominick cut her off. “Go get me lunch outside. I can’t stand hospital meals.”

When Stephanie heard that, her expression stiffened. She pressed her lips tightly together and got up from the hospital bed.

“Okay,” she reluctantly agreed and walked out of the ward.

Dominick, is Anthony unable to handle the situation back home…”

Stephanie had just reached the door when she heard Hayley seriously discussing company matters with him. Hayley said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on this issue lately, and we all suspect that some people are manipulating the media…

“Scott also told me last night that they’re facing intense public pressure back home. Some articles even irresponsibly claim that the Innovate Group is in turmoil and changing ownership. It’s gotten so ridiculous that some are saying you’re dead. It’s a mess.”

Vincent irritably said, “You really need to step in and handle this…”

Then, a click resounded as Stephanie angrily shut the ward door.

She had been indirectly shooed out as they talked business, making her feel somewhat sad.
