Chapter 341 Keeping What’s His
It had to hold up, not go down at this point.
Investments were inherently risky, and the Charlie Group wouldn’t have existed until now if it didn’t have the ability to deal with risk at all.
As Blanche Capra is lost in thought, Francesca Jones approaches quietly.
He didn’t have anything else in mind, just wanted to see her up close – after all, this kind of opportunity was rare.
He had drawn her silhouette in his mind many times.
Loving without being able to forget was often the most unforgettable.
He just couldn’t give up on Blanche Capra.
Blanche Capra is now thinking about York Charlie, even her career is also worried about York Charlie.
York Charlie is so jealous.
Francesca Jones was unknowingly lost in thought until Blanche Capra called out to him, “When did you get here? It really startled me.”
“Oh, I just came to ask if you wanted to go to tea, I just had the butler make it.” Francesca Jones made as much conversation as she could, intent on keeping her here.
How could Blanche Capra be in the mood for tea right now, “No, I’m not thirsty right now.”
Though she was losing her voice from all the shouting at the construction site.
“Do you want to go take a shower then, you’ll be warmer in a hot bath seeing as it’s so cold.” Francesca Jones said as he followed her, he was like a butterfly prancing around a flower.
Blanche Capra ran out of patience, she stopped in her tracks and looked back at Francesca Jones, “I don’t want to do anything right now except go back to the office and face the problem.”
“How many times have I told you that you have to be here, you can trust that I’ll be there soon.”
Francesca Jones had just finished speaking when Blanche Capra lifted her foot and kicked him in the foot.
She didn’t kick hard enough for Francesca Jones to stifle a grunt.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Instead of being angry, he was amused by this childish behavior of hers, so that she still looked like a flesh and blood person who knew how to have little emotions.
Blanche Capra watched the corners of his mouth quirk up slightly and became even more enraged, “I’m in a hurry here right now, and all you know how to do is look at me funny.”
“I’m not.”
“I’m going back whether you did or not, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and I’m sure as hell not going to be able to leave everything alone.” Blanche Capra still insisted on going back.
Seeing how stubborn she was, Francesca Jones couldn’t do anything about it.
“Then give me a reason that can convince me, a reason that makes me feel that I can’t go back without you.”
Francesca Jones was forced to choose to give in.
Blanche Capra thought about it, and her reason for having to go back now was clear, just one, “THE Charlie Group is York Charlie’s thing, and I have to guard it.”
She’s afraid that York Charlie will regain his memory and realize that THE Charlie Group is down, and he’ll leave her because of it.
She’s already lost him now and doesn’t want to lose anything more of his.
Blanche Capra still couldn’t help the tears spilling from her reddened eyes as she spoke with emotion.
“Francesca Jones, let me go back.”
This was not her tone of voice asking for his opinion, but firmly telling him her decision.
Francesca Jones realized that he simply could not fight Blanche Capra, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, Blanche Capra had a way of convincing him in the end to follow her.
That’s what made him so enamored with the woman, I guess.
“Fine, I’ll take you back.” Francesca Jones finished and added a condition, “But you must appear under my protection and not venture into the crowd, got it?”
“Got it.” Blanche Capra wiped away her tears and responded to him in a serious manner.
She wasn’t there to get abused, she was there to solve a problem – Blanche Capra reminded herself over and over again before heading out the door.
She’d thought about how intense the scene would be when she got out of the car, but when she was there in person and saw the sheer number of builders pulling banners and guarding the entrance, she was still shaken.
Subconsciously swallowing, Blanche Capra had no choice but to take the initiative and walk forward, “Haven’t you been looking for me? Now that I’m here, will you spare the guards? They are innocent.”
Only to see that in the center of the crowd, five or six security guards had already given the out-of-control builders a beating so severe that even their security uniforms were torn, lying unconscious on the ground.
Even the uninvolved were like this, it was hard to imagine what would have happened to her if she had just been there.
That’s why Francesca Jones wouldn’t let her come.
Complaints aren’t the same as they used to be, cyber violence goes hand in hand with real violence, and there are a lot of netizens who are standing around and saying that those abusers did a good job of fighting.
The media was also constantly stirring up the emotions of the builders, pushing their anger to the peak step by step.
The secretary had been hiding in the building and didn’t dare to come out, until Blanche Capra came, she had the guts to come out and ran to Blanche Capra with small steps, “President Capra, what can we do about this, they demanded us to pay compensation immediately.”
I don’t know who stirred them up, they had only wanted to come for a settlement, now it had turned straight into a riot, blackmailing Blanche Capra with a price – twice the original price.
It was already enough of a headache to have their funds rolled away, and now they were asking for so much that Blanche Capra barely fainted on the spot at the sound of it.
“That’s impossible, I can promise you that I’ll pay your wages as they are, but the two demands of immediate compensation and twice as much are just too much, forgive me for not being able to agree to them.”
Blanche Capra spoke in a direct manner, as a president should.
But there was no use in having a demeanor.
Her words quickly enraged the builders, who came at Blanche Capra like mad, accompanied by rocks and Coke cans.
Blanche Capra instinctively stepped back, not knowing what to do at a time like this, and watched dumbfounded as the rocks and coke cans flew towards her.
For a moment she began to question what she was holding out for.
York Charlie wasn’t coming back, was he?
Should she keep waiting?
“Blanche, look out!” Francesca Jones shouted as Blanche Capra was caught in his arms, dodging the rocks and jars.
The next ones that flew at her, the ones she couldn’t avoid, Francesca Jones blocked for her.
Blanche Capra watched Francesca Jones do this for her, she felt bad and didn’t have the strength to push him away, “Francesca Jones …”
His persistence was just like hers.
Just as silly.
But since he’d stuck it out this far, he might as well try to keep going down the road, maybe he’d see hope.
Blanche Capra herself found it ridiculous that at a time like this, all that was going through her mind was all that was there.
“Let’s go into the building first, these people won’t be persuaded for a while.” Francesca Jones suggested to her.
Blanche Capra nodded and pulled her secretary inside with her, behind them, the group of builders followed like a flash flood, it was a good thing the gate was holding them back.
And Blanche Capra had called in the police to maintain the scene afterward, and the few injured security guards were taken to the hospital.
This farce didn’t end there, and it got worse.
A fire had somehow been lit, and it burned so fiercely that it reached all the way to the front of the house.
Blanche Capra thinks there must be something fishy going on, but unfortunately her sharp intuition doesn’t come in handy at a time like this.
Behind the scenes, unbeknownst to any of the participants in the farce, parked a short distance away in his car, York Charlie quietly watched the whole process of Blanche Capra’s bullying.
Suddenly, he broke into a satisfied smile.
