Chapter 472
Michael continued, “I know what he’s planning. I originally wanted to go with him, or I could arrange for a few more people to go with him, which would more or less ensure his safety, but Gabriel said it was dangerous and he should go alone. He can get the job done, and bringing more people might become a burden, I can’t dissuade him, so I can only agree.”
Even though Michael did not like Gabriel, he hoped Gabriel would return safely when Gabriel set off. After all, if anything happened to Gabriel, it would be difficult for Gina, He also wanted to arrange for people to protect Gabriel secretly, but just as Gabriel said, the people arranged to go almost got exposed, affecting Gabriel’s operation.
Helpless, Michael had no choice but to let this subordinates withdraw.
“I got it,” Gina said. Her voice trembled slightly. She dared not to imagine what kind of danger Gabriel had gone through for her. She had to find Gabriel’s whereabouts in the shortest time! This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
After hanging up the phone, Lisa, who had learned of the situation, said, “Gina, I’ll help you find news of your fiancé.”
“Alright, thank you.” Gina was touched.
The next day.
Gina did not sleep the entire night. With Lisa’s help, she found out that Gabriel had left Tixia. His whereabouts were unknown. He had left Tixia from the sea. Moreover, the people of the Lighthouse were also tracking Gabriel’s whereabouts. Gabriel had taken the leader’s daughter hostage. The leader would not let Gabriel off even though Gabriel did not hurt Ellen.
When they reached the sea, it became hard to search again.
“Gina, you haven’t slept for a day and night. Sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up immediately when there’s news.”
Gina was silent. At that moment, she understood what it meant to be unable to sit still. She felt like she was sitting on the thorns. Her lover’s whereabouts were unknown, so she didn’t even have the heart to rest. She shook her head and said, “It’s fine. I’m not tired.”
She was Dr. Genevieve. If she could perform therapy on herself to control her sleepiness without harming her body, she could not sleep for five consecutive days.
Before confirming Gabriel’s safety, she dared not, nor did she want to sleep.
Norwood.
“Mr. Ethan, Mr. Ethan?”
Ethan felt someone pat his face in his sleep.
He was in a sweet dream, so he couldn’t help but get angry when he was woken up like that. Ethan opened his eyes in a daze and threw a tantrum. “Do you have a death wish? Can’t you see I’m sleeping? Ibrahim, you fucking…”
Harry, who was sitting on the sola aside, coughed. Only then did Ethan notice that Harry was also there. He immediately became much more obedient He wiped his face and said respectfully,” Harry, there you are!”
“Yes,” Harry replied indifferently.
Ibrahim said, “Mr. Ethan, I wouldn’t have been able to enter your house if Mr. Harry hadn’t brought me here.”
Ethan glanced at Ibrahim and could not be bothered with him. “Harry, do you have anything to instruct me? L. dealt with my official business too late last night. I was catching up on sleep just now. I didn’t go out to have fun. I’m still sleeping now!” Ethan said glatily.
Ethan was worried Harry would think he was Lazy and not doing his job appropriately.
Ibrahim wanted to laugh when he heard Ethan’s clumsy quibble.
What was there to be busy with with their shell project? Only Ethan liked to pretend.
He sat down and continued to give the orders on behalf of Harry. “Mr. Ethan, we know you’ve been busy recently, but an important hatter needs to be dealt with first.”
“What is it?” Ethan asked curiously.
“Gabriel was not in the office now!
“Did he go on a trip with Gina?” Ethan guessed.
Other than that, he could not think of any other possibilities. After all, Gabriel had always been a workaholic.
It was only after Gina came along Ethan discovered Gabriel had other things to do in his life besides work.
Ibrahim smiled and said,
“No. We don’t know where he went, but we can be sure he won’t return for a while. The Jackson Group is a little leaderless
now.
Ethan was puzzled for a moment and then began to make bold guesses. He asked, “Harry, what did you say? Do you mean… that i should replace Gabriel?”
Ethan carefully said those words. He actually felt a lingering fear after saying so. It was as if he was worried that the wall had ears and that Gabriel would know about it.
Gabriel had once wanted to strangle Ethan to death. If Gabriel wanted to seize power, he would not let him off.
However, Ibrahim almost burst out laughing when he heard Ethan’s words.
“The fool dares to think about replacing Gabriel What can he use to replace Gabriel?‘ thought Ibrahim.
Harry was speechless when he heard how stupid Ethan was. “What are you thinking? How are you going to replace Gabriel? Even if I help you become the Jackson Group’s president now, will Nell agree? Will the other shareholders respect you?”
Ethan lowered his head after being criticized. He was desperate to surpass Gabriel.
He talked big in a moment of confusion.
“I’m sorry, Harry. I have no self–knowledge.”
Harry was speechless again. He had only said a few words to Ethan, but Ethan started to feel sorry for himself again
“Let’s get down to business. Gabriel isn’t in the company now. We have to hurry up and do something serious.
Harry added, “Didn’t you say you wanted to build a medical equipment company? Have you chosen the location yet?”
“Yes, I have!” Ethan nodded.
“What about the funds? Are they ready?” Harry asked again.
The question made Ethan fall silent. He was sure of the land but did not have much money now. He was also worried someone would buy the land over time.
Although the side business of lending that Ibrahim helped Ethan expand was now profitable, it was not enough. The piece of land he wanted was worth 120 million dollars. He really could not fork out that much money in a short time. If he had not taken out 100 million dollars to show his filial piety to Harry, he might have been able to buy it in one go. However, Ethan could not mention this in front of Harry, in case Harry got mad when he thought
Ethan regretted it.
Upon seeing Ethan was silent, Harry began to say earnestly, “I know you don’t have much money in your pockets now because you helped me last time.
“Ethan, I’ve always remembered your filial piety, so it’s time for me to help you get the money.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up. He thought, ‘Does Harry want to help me money? What will he do?”
“Harry, thank you. You’re always thinking about me. I’m grateful to you!”
Harry waved his hand.
“Isn’t it a little odd for a family to say thanks? Aren’t you treating me like an outsider? You helped me when I was in trouble. I certainly have to help you when you’re in trouble. This is a family with blood ties. We’ll share glory and honor!”
“Yes. Harry, you’re right!” Ethan nodded vigorously. With an elder like Harry who loved him so much, his life was worth it!
