Chapter 30
After Harold and Isabella went to work, the two saw the present Craig gave Isabella the previous night. She had placed it on the table, unopened.
The two were curious to see what kind of present a bigshot like Craig would give to Isabella, and upon opening the gift box, they saw two contracts inside.
One contract was the order Craig's company signed with Turner Corporation worth two hundred million.
The other contract was an additional order worth eight hundred million.
Both contracts were worth a billion in total and immensely profitable.
Craig had already signed them, so the two contracts would take effect immediately once Turner Corporation signed them.
“Darling, Bella is already pregnant, so I don't think it's good for her to be so busy. Why don't we persuade her to return the company to Dad? Turner Corporation is Dad's lifetime's worth of efforts. If we take it just like this, people will talk behind our backs,” Benson suggested after some hesitation upon seeing the two contracts.
“You make the final decision.”
Though Pauline was unwilling, there was not much she could say since Benson had already thought of the reason to do so.
The two then went to the company to find Isabella.
With the two contracts, the bank would postpone Turner Corporation's bank payment, and Turner Corporation could tide over the crisis.
When Isabella arrived at the company and saw how disorganized it was, she felt her head throbbing.
After seeing the two contracts her parents sent over and hearing Benson's opinion, Isabella agreed to return the company to Edward without much hesitation.
Meanwhile, Harvey immediately went to find Bradley and Edward after Harold kicked him out of Isabella's house. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Benson's family still resents us. I had not even said much when they chased me out. They even said...”
The instant Harvey saw Bradley and Edward, the former distorted the truth and smeared Isabella's family. He even paused in the middle of his sentence to create tension.
“What else did he say? Tell me everything!” Edward ordered, furrowing his brows upon hearing Harvey's words.
The grooves on his wrinkly face became even deeper.
“Uncle Benson said that since you have already chased him out of the Turner family, he has nothing to do with you anymore. He warned us to stop trying to get Turner Corporation back, lest he does something bad to us.”
Harvey blurted out the words he had prepared along the way.
After hearing those words, Edward stood up while holding on to his cane with one hand. He stared intently at Harvey with murky eyes and asked, “Did your Uncle Benson truly say that?”
“Absolutely!” Harvey replied, staring straight into Edward's eyes confidently.
It was as if he had expected Edward to wear such an expression on his face.
“Bradley, have you found out how Isabella had the money to acquire Turner Corporation and why Daniel and Philip Larson came to apologize yesterday?”
Seeing that Harvey did not appear to be lying, Edward believed the former and turned around to ask Bradley.
“I've found out, Dad. Benson has been secretly trading stocks with Moneybags Smith, so he has a secret stash of cash. Besides, he gets along with Moneybags Smith, so Moneybags Smith must have asked the person backing him, Mr. Quigley, to make an appearance. Thus, Daniel and Philip came that day to apologize...”
Bradley explained all he had found in detail.
“That brat! He has become rebellious, thinking he knows Moneybags Smith. How ignorant!” Edward uttered in disdain though there was a sliver of sorrow in his eyes.
“Old Mr. Turner, Mr. Benson came just now to place this at the entrance before leaving.”
Just then, a servant hurried in and passed a file to Edward.
Curious, Edward opened the file and glanced at the items he took out. Suddenly, he looked at Harvey sharply.
