Chapter 286

Josie stared at him for a while. Then, she sat back and leaned against the headboard. She pondered before saying, “My parents and brothers have been calling me every day in the past few days. They want you to go to the company to find out why Solace Corporation suddenly suspended its collaboration with Vaal Corporation.”

Logan did not answer Josie’s question. Instead, he lit a cigarette and smoked on the bed.

Josie waited for a while and began to feel a little impatient. She glanced at Logan from the corner of her eye again and spoke more anxiously. “You should know that Vaal Corporation depends on the projects with Solace Corporation to survive. Once Solace Corporation calls off its collaboration with Vaal Corporation, Vaal Corporation will go bankrupt.”

Logan was a little annoyed and glared at her. “So? Just let that meager company go bankrupt, then.”

Josie sneered, “Vaal Corporation may be a meager and inconspicuous company to you, but my family relies on it to make a living. I wonder if you will support them if Vaal Corporation goes bankrupt.”

She paused before continuing sarcastically, “I know what’s on your mind. I never ask what you are doing and accept whatever the outcome is. I just ask for one thing. You should never drag the York family into the mess. They were the ones who gave birth to me and raised me, allowing me to marry you and give birth to your children. They did not get the collaboration with Solace Corporation from you. They owe you nothing.”

“Fuck! Are you done talking?” Logan swept the things on the bedside table to the ground as he spoke.

He widened his eyes at Josie as if he wanted to devour her.

Josie’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the expression on his face. She pursed her lips and dared not to continue.

Both looked at each other for a while. Then, Logan got up and strode out of the bedroom.

As silence ensued in the room, Josie could only hear her heartbeat.

She had been married to Logan for more than ten years. Although he was not a gentle and considerate husband, he still respected her. They would tolerate each other whenever there were minor conflicts between them. It was the first time he had spoken to her with that look.

Not long later, a noise came from downstairs.
