Chapter 395
Berry Furnishings was being closed down because of a tax evasion incident.
Their assets were seized, and they could not cover the huge amount of taxes they owed.
Berry Furnishings had been losing money over the years, and their income had never been enough to cover the
expenses. Dixon’s insignificant investment was only enough to relieve Berry Furnishings of their urgent needs - it
never solved the root of the problem.
The company’s seizure only added to the problem and angered Dixon so much that he threw the documents onto
the ground.
“Horace’s useless!”
“At least Ashlyn agreed to the operation, didn’t she, Mr. Haddock?” Sienna lowered herself to pick the documents
up and place them in front of Dixon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe handsome-looking man stared blankly at the documents with his coal-black eyes before breaking the silence,
“Leave me.”
“Understood.” Sienna quickly pushed the door open and went out.
As soon as she went through the door, a sudden feeling took her by surprise. She felt discomfort in her stomach as
if she were about to throw up.
Could it be?
Sienna’s face turned pale. She dared not waste another second standing still. After dashing to a stall in the
bathroom, she did nothing but dry heave, so much that she almost vomited stomach acid.
After a moment, she patted herself on the chest as she walked out of the stall.
Sienna was a thirty-six-year-old woman, so she knew to take birth-control pills because Dixon cared not about
taking any safety measures.
She had no plans to have children as her husband was disabled, so it would not make sense for her to be pregnant.
If she got pregnant, that would mean that the baby was illegitimate. It would be a bastard child of the aunt and her
nephew.
Am I going to let my child be called a bastard?
Sienna dared not to go further with that thought, so she returned to her office, still distracted.
“President. President...”
Lisa called Sienna a couple of times before she snapped back to her senses. “Yes, what is it?”
“This is the list of donations for our charity foundation for this quarter.” She handed Sienna the report before
looking at the latter with concern. “Are you okay? You don’t look so good.”
“I’m fine. Just a little tired.” Sienna forced a smile and started to go through the report.
Sitting at his desk in the office, Principal Potter of University T was going through a file when the director of
admissions, Mr. Granger, approached him. “Principal, the graduation season is near. Graduation Night will be held
soon, not to mention the talk for the new term. Who should we invite to do the medical school talk this term?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLast time, the principal invited somebody called Ashlyn, and she accepted the invitation. She didn’t bluff, did she? If
she’s not the big deal she claimed to be, we’re in trouble.
Principal Potter looked up from the file before handing it over to Mr. Granger. “Take a look at this, Granger.”
Mr. Granger took the file with a puzzled look on his face. “What’s this?”
“Just look,” instructed Principal Potter softly.
Five minutes later, Mr. Granger opened his eyes wide in shock as his hands trembled, “How is this possible?”
“It really is her,” sighed Principal Potter, “I thought she was familiar the first time I saw her at the Haddock Charity
gathering.”
“She really was the one who wrote the paper that took the medical world by storm! Not only did she publish several
first-level theses, but she was also a guest editor at a world-class medical journal. How is that possible? She’s only
how old? Wasn’t it said that the medical genius disappeared after publishing a paper four years ago? It was a great
loss to the medical community,” exclaimed Mr. Granger as he found what he read in the file to be unbelievable.
“My brother is the dean of the institute of medicine in Maredania. This file he sent has to be correct. He said that
the genius got poisoned and that it was the incurable kind. However, he never gave up searching for the child. His
only fear is that she might have fallen,” explained Principal Potter as his eyes turned red.
