Chapter 19
Hearing Chase Lu’s words, Bella quickly waved her hand and said, “Huh? I didn’t mean it at all. Besides, we can’t afford to buy a house!
Chase smiled and asked, “Bella, isn’t your birthday in two weeks’ time?”
Bella’s eyes lit up. “You remember my birthday? Are you going to give me a present?”
Chase put on a mysterious smile. “We’ll talk about it when it’s time.”
Bella gave Chase a punch with a glum look. “Sigh, I thought that I can support our family financially for the rest of our lives. But, since Grandma has dismissed me from the company, it seems”
Chase interjected, “It seems that I’m now the one who should take over your task and become the breadwinner of this household!
Chase paused for a while and teased, “Sigh. it’s not an easy task to be married into the Song family.”
Bella pouted her lips and replied, “Hmph, are you grumbling about supporting me? There are so many people waiting in line to take care of me. Sigh, it seems that we have to find a job quickly.”
Chase hesitated for a moment and answered, “Bella, you should take a break. In fact, I have found myself a job. I’m now working in the Helping Hands Medical Center.”
Bella’s eyes widened. “What? Why do you work at the Helping Hands Medical Center?”
Chase replied to her with a smile.
A sudden thought flashed through Bella’s mind. “Oh yeah! Is Chloe trying to compensate you for taking the blame for her? She’d feel sorry for you.”
Chase was speechless. “Well, you could put it that way.”
However, unexpectedly, a hint of disappointment flashed across Bella’s eyes. “Alas, that woman looks prettier than me and is more capable than me. She is also good at seducing men too. If you were to work there…”
Looking at Bella’s cute, jealous expression, Chase couldn’t help but pinch her nose and said, “Do you want to learn how to seduce me then?”
Bella snorted, “If you cheat on me, I will definitely chop ‘your thing off.”
Their so-called quarrel ended up becoming the catalyst that drew them closer to each other, warming up their hearts gradually.
The next day, Alfred was discussing the order he was about to give to the Songs with Rosaline, Jane, and the other members of the Song family.
He intended to threaten Rosaline with this so she would pressure Bella and drive Chase away.
Just as Rosaline was about to agree to his proposition, Alfred received a phone call.
His expression immediately changed when the man on the other side of the phone told him what had happened.
“What? How dare the Helping Hands Medical Center break the contract with us! They want their medical center to close down, don’t they?”
Rosaline and Jane were stupefied.
The Helping Hands Medical Center was going to break the contract with the Timber Group?
“Damn it! How dare they accuse us of manufacturing and selling fake products!” Alfred was so angry that he threw his phone. away, his face turning livid.
This contract was the most powerful weapon he had against the Song family.
However, at this moment, the Helping Hands Medical Center had turned their back against him and terminated their contract with his family.
Plus, they even slandered his family!
This was unforgivable!
Alfred immediately returned home to report this matter to his father.
Alfred’s father, Harry Gao, smiled after receiving this news.
Harry knew that the Helping Hands Medical Center was no match for the Gao family if Harper was not on their side.
“I’ll leave this to you Alfred. It’s noing “I’ll leave this to you, Alfred. It’s going to be a good opportunity to train yourself up,” said Harry.
Alfred nodded his head angrily. The rage within him roared like an untamable storm.
“Hmph, Helping Hands Medical Center! I have been kind to you but you are the one who crosses the line!”
“Spread my words immediately! We will hold a press conference at Milky Way Hotel tomorrow! I will be sure to erase the name of the Helping Hands Medical Center from Golden City!” Alfred instructed his secretary.
When Chloe heard about it, she almost went mad with anger.
To break a contract without prior notification itself was despicable enough. Besides, they even defamed the Gao’s for manufacturing fake products. It would be strange if the Gao’s chose to turn a blind eye.
Chloe could tell that the Gao’s had made their stand very clear by organizing the press conference the next day.
The Helping Hands Medical Center was going to be in serious trouble because of that little b*stard.
At this moment, Chase was sitting in front of Chloe. After she vented her anger, he mumbled, “Is the press conference going to be held at Milky Way Hotel? Since we are also planning to hold a press conference of our own, why don’t we make it at Milky WayHotel too? The more the merrier!”
Chloe was so angry that she felt that she was going to burst into a pufferfish.
Didn’t this little b*stard realize how serious this issue was?
Did he plan to make the scene so big that even his ancestors would know about it?
However, Chase seemed to have made up his mind. He refused to give in. In the end, Chloe pulled Sophia and stomped out of the room in anger.
She could not stand staying in the same room with Chase at this very moment.
Bella was resting at home when she received an unexpected call from Jane, asking her to go to Rosaline’s house immediately.
When she rushed over to the house, all the members of the Song family were already there.
All of them were looking at her with a sullen look.
After she clarified with them what had happened, her expression changed at once. “The Helping Hands Medical Center breaks the contract and slanders the Gao’s? They’re even going to hold a press conference at the same hotel as the Gap’s tomorrow?
However, Bella failed to notice a very important point hidden in Ethan’s words.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Jane sneered. “It seems that the Helping Hands Medical Center is looking for a death wish.”
Bella couldn’t help but whisper, “Chase has Just started working there Should I ask him If he knows any inside story?”
Everyone was stunned.
That good-for-nothing was working at the Helping Hands Medical Center?
Hmph, how could he bite the hand that fed him all these years? What an ungrateful brat!
When Ethan heard this news, he, however, immediately exchanged glances with Alfred.
Their eyes sparkled with cunning and slyness.
Alfred had lost his position in the Song family after he failed to secure this order. He didn’t want to give up.
Therefore, he must make sure to win the battle the next day, regardless of how tough it was.
He had a perfect plan in his hands, which was to bring the Song family down together with his family.
In this case, he could sing praises for his glorious victory if he won the battle. On the other hand, if he lost, he would not need to mourn over his losses alone.
He was going to use this way to tie the Gao’s with the Song’s forever.
He said to Rosaline, “Grandma Song, 1 believe you understand that it is the HelpingHands Medical Center who completely ignores the rules and openly challenges the Gao family. I trust your ability to tell who’s to be blamed. The Gao family will not sit idly and do nothing. Tomorrow, the Helping Hands Medical Center will be doomed. However, I want to seek your support.”
At this moment, Rosaline hesitated. In truth, this matter had nothing to do with the Song family.
Besides, she could not forget the advice given by Mr. Wang who came from the research institute. He told them to build a good relationship with the Helping Hands Medical Center.
Alfred’s eyes turned cold at once. He added, “Don’t worry, Grandma Song. I’ve got myfather’s full support to hold the press conference tomorrow. The chances of our success are 100%. I can assure you if you join arms with us in this battle, which we will certainly win, the Gao family is going to give a ten-million-yuan contract to the Song family.”
Rosaline was almost swayed by Alfred’s proposition. She knew that Alfred was trying to get on their good sides. He was planning to use the reputation of his family to bring. the Song family more wealth.
She knew very well that Alfred was just making up an excuse to tie himself up together with the Song family.
“Are you sure that you’re going to win them?” Rosaline asked.
Alfred nodded. “I swear in the name of my ancestors.
Rosaline slammed the table and exclaimed,
“Okay, I give you my words! We’ll march along with the Gao family tomorrow!”
For the Song family to regain its long lost glory!
Bella could not help feeling a little uneasy.
She felt that it was not as simple as it seemed to be.
Bella went back home after the meeting was over. However, she could not stop worrying. All of a sudden, she received a call from Ethan.
His sweet talks confused Bella about his real intention of making this call.
After a while, only then he asked, “Did you just say that Chase is now an employee of the Helping Hands Medical Center?”
Bella answered his question.
“Naha, Bella, I have a favor to ask from you. Word has it that the Helping Hands Medical Center?”
“Haha, Bella just released a really good beauty product. You know that your sister-in-law always pays a lot of attention to her face.. She’s been bugging me to get one for her. Can you ask Chase to bring a bottle for your sister-in-law? But don’t tell Chase I am the one who asks for it. He doesn’t seem to have a good impression of me.” Bella hesitated.
However, after giving it some thought, she still agreed to Ethan’s request. “I’ll talk to Chase.”
If she could take this opportunity to make the relationship between Chase and the Song family to be any less tense, it would be a good thing.
When Chase received the call from Bella, although he was slightly taken aback, he did not suspect anything. “No problem, I will take it back to you later.”
Chloe, on the other hand, was smoldering with anger. “What an uxorious man you are! How could you think of your wife at this moment? Don’t you know we are only a day away from the press conference? As soon as the reporters write these stories on the news, our reputation will be ruined! Do you know how difficult it is to deal with those reporters?”
As if he was being enlightened by her, Chase exclaimed, “Oh, you’re right! Get one hundred female reporters here now. I’m going to bribe them.”
Chloe’s face turned cold instantly.
This little b*stard was hopeless!
Like an impetuous teenager, he had been acting recklessly. Now that there was nothing he could do about it, he was going to resort to bribery!
What a crafty and scheming man!
She could not help thinking, “Forget it! Although I have to sacrifice the clinic, I’ll use this chance to discern who you really are, Chase Lu!”
After the next day, they would have nothing to do with each other.
Chloe glared at Chase angrily before she turned around and left the room.
However, Chase turned to Sophia and asked, “Can you do me a favor?”
