Chapter 89 Escape from the Battlefield
Ava doesn’t know how to comfort Liam, who has only recently joined the company and doesn’t know what to do.
Liam took two deep puffs of smoke, turned to look at Ava and said, “Give up the European market, and turn to the market we have opened in Southeast Asia! This is the only way, Ava, you go to arrange what I mean, we have to meet in the evening, call all the shareholders, this time, my ability alone is not as good as everyone working together.”
Ava nodded and was about to go to the elevator when Liam suddenly took Ava’s arm. Ava looked back at Liam, who touched the tip of his nose and said, “In a few days, go to Seychelles with me and my father, we have an estate there, and stay with my father to recover, is that okay?”
Ava was a little confused, things weren’t good over here, so how come all of a sudden Liam decided to go to that place called something called Seychelles?
Only Ava didn’t ask, just nodded obediently.
The Martin Group stayed up all night.
Ava was sitting in the pantry somewhat tiredly pouring a cup of coffee when her phone rang.
Ava saw the caller was the number she once knew best, and after a moments hesitation, she picked up: “Hello? Noah!”
“Can you call me by my first name now? Ava,” came Noah’s sneer from the other end of the line.
“If There’s something wrong, please hurry up and say it, if There’s nothing, then I’ll hang up.” Ava didn’t want to hear such sarcasm-filled words from Noah.
” Is Martin Group holding up? Will it continue to hold up? I’m quite curious.” Noah spoke out slowly on the other end of the line.
“This, it has nothing to do with you.”
“I didn’t expect to face this kind of disintegration after only a few days at Martin Group, Ava, but wherever you are, I can make it impossible for you to do anything.”
Ava heard these words, the heart vaguely some pain, why, must be directed at themselves, she is just a not a woman, why do you need him to make such a big deal about it?
Ava held back her fire and asked softly, “What do you want? Or rather, what do you want?”
“Come back, remain my Noah’s mistress, and I will leave the Martin Group alone!” Noah stated the terms.
Go back? To continue to be a woman who is not human, not a ghost? To be bullied by this man every day? It was so hard to escape from the clutches of the devil. Do you have to go back?
However, Liam’s company met such a problem, she has seen everything in the eye, they can only dry anxious on the side, but can not do anything, if… back, Martin Group will not be okay…
Ava held the phone and was silent.
“Hello? Why aren’t you talking? My request is so simple, the fate of the Martin Group depends on…” before the words fell, a large palm took the phone out of Ava’s hand.
Ava turned around and saw that it was Liam who had taken the phone and put it to his ear. After listening to Noah, Liam laughed lightly: ” Noah, don’t blackmail Ava with this, this is a war between us two men, if you think you are still a bit gentlemanly.” With that, he hung up the phone.
Ava’s mind was a bit confused. She hurriedly turned around and picked up the coffee cup, but accidentally poured the coffee on her lap, with a “yah” sound, Ava hurriedly stood up.
“Is everything okay? Why are you so careless? Did you get burned? Let’s go check it out.” Liam saw the hot coffee splashed on Ava’s leg and was a bit anxious.
Ava shook her head, not too hot, should be fine, but the white sweatpants is a large coffee stain.
Liam insisted on taking Ava to the hospital, so Ava had no choice but to go with Liam.
The doctor checked, just red, and no burns, gave a packet of burn cream and let Ava go back.
In the car, Liam didn’t say anything. It was almost dawn, and Liam’s eyes were a little red, the result of a sleepless night.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
” Brother Liam, why don’t you go back and rest, I’ll be fine.” Ava finally spoke up.
” Ava… you believe Brother Liam, Brother Liam will not let you go back to that man, believe Brother Liam, okay? You had a hard time getting away from him, don’t listen to him, Noah will never do what he says, even if you go back, he will still target my company, you hear me?” Liam kept thinking about Noah’s call to Ava.
” Brother Liam…” Ava wanted to say something.
Ava’s mind has been in turmoil. If it was because of herself that Martin Group first attacked Brown Groups market, and then Brown Group counter-attacked, all because of herself, she is the biggest culprit!
Liam looked at Ava, hesitated for a moment, and finally covered his hand on the back of Ava’s hand: ” Ava, trust Brother Liam, okay? Don’t ever think that by sacrificing yourself, you can save the whole Martin Group, understand?”
Ava’s cold hands felt the heat from Liam’s palms, and she suddenly wanted to cry, Liam had always protected himself, taken care of himself, and put his own feelings first in everything, while Noah? In addition to threatening himself, what else can he do? Cold-blooded and heartless. For him, anyone and everything can become a bargaining chip, including himself.
Ava hadn’t said a word, just looked out the car window at the already dawned sky, and suddenly found herself with a kind of helplessness in her heart.
The secretary heard the commotion and came in immediately, looking at Noah and the broken parts of the phone.
“There’s nothing going on, get off work, it’s late and you’re still working late.” Noah’s tone remained cold to the point of not having a trace of emotion.
The secretary nodded, closed the door and left, and after a while, brought in another phone, squatted on the floor, found the phone card, put it in the phone, put the phone on the desk, and greeted it like Noah: “Chairman, I’ll go first.”
Noah watches the night fade outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, nods, and doesn’t look back.
He didn’t understand this Ava, he was so good, why did he always reject himself? Because what? He also somehow can’t understand himself, himself a tang Blue Whale City’s man of the hour, just like an adolescent jealous boy, did so many things that people can not understand.
Noah scratched his hair and laughed at himself: I must be bored out of my mind, preferring Ava’s deadpan look.
Martin Group abandoned the European market, long ago in Noah’s grasp, so many so many things, Noah can plan, why, single in this humble woman, always let himself want to stop?
Ava looked at Noah’s number in her phone, and she lay in bed, unable to sleep, what should she do? Or should she communicate with Noah? She thought about it and shook her head. If it was that easy to communicate, he wouldn’t have hurt himself.
Tossing and turning, I finally fell asleep in a daze.
Liam had already decided to give up the European market, if and Noah hard fight, will only be a failure, he has been Logan Martin so many years of hard work into this, even if they can do, but also so.
When he told Logan Martin in his hospital bed about this decision, Logan Martin just sighed deeply and didn’t say anything else, the business is like a battlefield, a win and a loss is a reasonable thing.
It’s a relief that Liam made such a move, and at least, the Martin Group is still around for now.
After everything was finalized, Liam left Blue Whale City with Ava and Logan Martin.
Noah heard the secretary say this news, his expression has been cold as if three nine cold days.
This Liam, how dare he take his woman out of Blue Whale City and go to Seychelles? Oh.
Ava just got off the plane. The air in Seychelles is not too hot, but the sky is blue and transparent. It really seems to be a good place for patients to recuperate.
Liam’s estate housekeeper over here had driven to the airport to pick them up.
Even though the Martin Group has been hit hard, it still has some strength, such as this estate in Seychelles, which was built by Logan Martin in his early years and visited by Liam once when he was a young boy.
The butler received the three Liam’s into the manor.
This Lin family estate, really is not small, near the coast, as soon as you leave the door of the estate, the door is the beach, and in the distance are coconut trees. There are three or two couples or small families walking barefoot on the beach.
Ava shielded her hand from the sunlight and squinted slightly at the distance.
Liam pushed Logan Martin in his wheelchair and walked over to Ava, whispering, “I’ll walk you around a bit after I get my father settled. Go to the living room first and rest a bit.”
Ava nodded and followed Liam and Logan Martin into the manor house.
The whole estate is lush, walking on the road, as if into a small jungle general, through the small jungle, which saw a villa, the butler helped Liam to help Logan Martin into the living room.
Ava walked behind curiously, she had never left Blue Whale City and was curious about everything here.
Logan Martin saw Ava looking around curiously and waved his hand, asking Liam to accompany Ava to look around.
Liam led Ava into the living room, which was filled with floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the beach and the Indian Ocean sea.
The housekeeper and the maid had already tidied up the living room, the windows were open and you could smell the sea.
Liam took Ava up to the second floor and pushed open the door to the balcony, Ava then saw more clearly the whole estate, in addition to the pool, there were some flowers and plants she had not seen. There were also chairs and umbrellas on the balcony. Liam pointed to the chairs and said, “At night, it’s a pleasure to watch the sunset and moon rise with a cocktail.”
Ava nodded and curiously continued to look into the distance and around.
Ava looked at the coconut that looked a bit like a woman’s buttocks and asked curiously, “This coconut, how strange.”
