Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 669 Someone Is Causing Trouble

Seeing how everyone went silent, Cameron suddenly realized his mistake.

"What are you talking about, Cam? Why would the child look like you?" Edmund laughed and lectured him, "What a silly child."

After hearing this, the boy scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized, "Sorry. I don't understand these things."

"It's okay, but it's getting late, and we need to get going." While saying this, Elspeth stood up, followed by Callum.

However, Cameron felt reluctant to watch them leave, so he took her hand, not wanting to let her go. "Can't you stay with me, Elsie?"

Meanwhile, she could sense his affection but could only helplessly pat his head. "Silly child, I can't stay here. How about I come and see you next time?"

Without a choice, the boy bid her farewell reluctantly.

…

Ten days later, Edmund took Cameron to board a flight to another country.

Since Elspeth was pregnant, she couldn't focus on anything else for the time being, so she decided to delegate all the matters in the company to Frank.

When he heard the news, he was taken aback to the point of passing out. I have recently won Raquella's heart, but now this woman, Elspeth, who has no conscience, wants me to take over the company! This is ridiculous! At this thought, he barked, "Why are you entrusting such an important matter to me?" If I recall correctly, Harper is her capable assistant. Did he go on leave?

"I know I shouldn't be asking you for favors now, but I have no choice. Harper's wife got pregnant, and he asked for leave, so I approved it," she said. Being pregnant, I can attest to the value of having a companion by our side throughout this time. If my memory serves me correctly, Harper's wife is quite frail. Hence, he should be by her side during this time.

However, Frank pouted upon hearing this. "You're always bullying a kind man like me. If I had known, I would have gotten married and pregnant sooner!"

Meanwhile, Elspeth overheard him grumbling on the other side of the line and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark. "What? Can a man like you get pregnant too?"

His expression changed drastically, and he retorted, "I wasn't talking about myself!"

"In that case, the rest doesn't matter. You probably don't have anything else to do, right? Be at the company tomorrow morning at 8.00AM sharp." After saying this, Elspeth hung up the phone without hesitation.

Knowing that it was only because of her pregnancy, Frank reluctantly agreed.

On the other hand, Elspeth's medicine had remarkable results, as Raquella and her aunt's illness was almost completely healed in just one week. Hence, Raquella also expressed her intention to go to

work.

Still, Frank couldn't resist her stubbornness. He had hoped she would stay home and rest for a while longer, but she was adamant, and he couldn't stop her, so they went to the company together.

Meanwhile, the pandemic plaguing the city was brought under control without suffering from further outbreaks, and it eventually ended, allowing the people to return to their everyday lives.

Unfortunately, they encountered a problem on their first official day of work.

Frank impatiently descended the stairs upon hearing the commotion outside, and when he saw what the group of people outside was doing, he was filled with rage. "What are you doing?"

He could see banners and protest signs waved around, and some people were even carrying spray cans to deface the company's property without restraint. Then, he read the words on the banners, which primarily accused Azure Corporation of causing harm to the country and its people by manufacturing counterfeit medicine.

How does our company's researched medication become counterfeit? Frank was about to take a few steps forward when the person in front panicked and sprayed the paint at him. Hence, Frank had no choice but to step back and ask from a distance, "What are you guys up to?"

The group leader glanced at him disdainfully and yelled, "What are we up to? Isn't it obvious? Azure Corporation has produced counterfeit medicine that harmed us. My mother was a victim! Her body is right here! I will make sure you give me an explanation!"

After hearing this, Frank became aware of a body covered in white cloth lying on the ground behind the

man. It wouldn't have been apparent if he hadn't looked closely.

When the crowd heard a dead body on the ground, the people surrounding the scene immediately became fearful and started panicking.

"Do you know that it's illegal to cause trouble here?"

However, the man snickered, "So, what? Are you implying my mother will return to life if I don't break the law?"

"Don't be unreasonable!" Raquella, who had come down after hearing the uproar, trembled with rage as she shouted at the crowd.

"You are all Azure Corporation's lackeys, so of course, you would defend them. Today, I will make sure your CEO gives me an explanation." The man tossed the empty spray can to the ground. "Where is Elspeth Lynwood? Tell her to come out and give me an explanation!"

When Frank heard this, he gave him a cold stare. "What makes you think you can see our CEO just because you want to?"

"Fine. If so, don't blame me for being impolite." Seeing Frank's insensibility, the man glanced around and immediately called out to the people beside him. "Alright. Stop spraying paint! Start smashing!"

When the group realized Azure's building was made of glass, they had a different plan and reached into their pockets, pulling out large and small stones and hurling them at the walls.

"Stop it!" Frank shouted.

"You want us to stop? Then make sure Elspeth appears in front of me within half an hour. Otherwise, we will keep going," the man shouted defiantly, his actions not ceasing.

Even though the glass in Azure was made of a durable material that made it less likely to shatter, the loud thuds that resulted were still distracting to the workers inside. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

When Frank saw that things couldn't go on like this for much longer, he signaled for Raquella to call the police.

As she reached for her phone, someone dashed toward her like a maniac and threw it to the ground, smashing it. "Trying to call the police? Don't even think about it!"

Meanwhile, Frank's right hand balled up into a fist as he watched this in disgust.

However, Raquella held him back, warning him not to act hastily or foolishly. Then, she suggested, "How about this? Let's inform Elspeth about the matter and let her figure out a solution."

After hearing this, he hesitated and replied, "I didn't want to tell her about it because she's pregnant and not feeling well. Callum will kill me if it affects her health and causes complications."

"I don't think she is the type to lose her composure easily."

After a moment of hesitation, Frank decided to take out his phone and give Elspeth a call.
