Chapter 138 Kent Barton So Incensed That He Vomited Blood

Annalise Barton ignored Kent Barton and left with Julian Parks. Julian asked Annalise with concern, “Did he yell at you?” “No.” Annalise looked at Julian Parks’s concerned expression, and her pounding heart felt warm. “Did he say something nasty?” Julian asked again.

“Again, no.” Annalise looked at Julian and shook her head with a smile. She couldn’t be bothered at all by what people she didn’t care for said. A concerned look from the person she cared about was enough to satisfy her. Seeing that Julian’s expression had softened, Annalise could not help but ask with concern, “Have you finished eating?”

“I’ve finished my meal. Did you not eat well? I’ll take you somewhere else to eat,” Julian said as he led Annalise to the parking lot. “I ate very well, and now, I am full.” Annalise smiled and patted her tummy. She would never let herself suffer, so she didn’t hold back at all when eating with Kent.

Seeing Annalise patting her tummy, Julian stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a doting smile. “It’s good that you’re full.” He couldn’t resist extending his hand and patting her tummy. Under the sunlight, they looked at each other and smiled. Julian doted on her, and Annalise was charming.

He reached out again and stroked her head. In Annalise’s world, Julian always had a gentle smile on his lips. The two of them prepared to walk to the office of the Moonlight Group. They chatted while their food was being digested.

Looking from afar, Julian appeared handsome and elegant. He was dressed in a business suit and had a noble air. His smile was warm, like a gust of spring breeze. Annalise was young and beautiful, witty and astute, and she had a dazzling smile.

Julian walked forward while Annalise walked backward. They talked and laughed. He tugged at her from time to time, afraid she would trip over the tree behind her. It was two in the afternoon.

Julian and Annalise arrived at the building of the Moonlight Group on time. The President’s office was closed. The secretary informed Annalise that Kent was not in. Annalise knew that she had been tricked. Her face darkened slightly, and she immediately called Kent’s number.

Initially, she thought that Kent would not answer her call. To her surprise, Kent answered after two rings. He sounded very weak. “Anna, I was about to call you. I’m sorry. My body is weak, and I’m in the hospital now. We can’t hold the shareholders’ meeting this afternoon anymore.” Annalise asked calmly, “What happened to you, Uncle Kent?” To avoid signing the agreement, Kent actually pretended to be sick. He was really shameless.

“Sigh! High blood pressure. My blood pressure just soared to 180. Fortunately, I came to the hospital in time. The doctor said that if my blood pressure soars too high, there is a risk that my blood vessels will burst. I may have to stay in the hospital for a few days,” said Kent.

Kent guessed that Julian would not stay in Horington for long. After all, Julian was the person in charge of Parks Group and was a busy man. How could he have the time to waste on Annalise? When Julian was gone, Annalise would be at his mercy.

At that point, Kent would suppress his temper and conscientiously persuade her. He would lecture her on the gains and losses and spend more time and effort brainwashing her. Then, he would give her some gifts to express his care and love.

For someone like Annalise, who grew up in the countryside and had not seen much of the world, she would definitely think that Kent was too nice to her if he gave her a bag worth more than 15 thousand dollars.

If she still refused to listen, he would have to take the last step. “Then Uncle Kent, rest well in the hospital,” Annalise said. Kent was overjoyed when he heard Annalise give in. “Alright, alright. I’ll take good care of my body…”

However, before he could finish, he heard Annalise say, “High blood pressure is a chronic illness You need time to recover slowly. Which hospital are you in, Uncle Kent? I’ll come and look for you to sign it later. After signing it, I’ll hold a shareholders’ meeting Uncle Kent, you can just focus on recuperating I’ll manage the company well.”

Kent was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His eyes flickered violently for a moment, and he could not find any words to refute her. He could only pretend to be deaf and mute. “Ah… Anna… What did you say? Hello, hello… Hello? This signal is too poor… Hello, Anna? Are you still listening…” Then he hung up. Hmph! Kent didn’t even tell Annalise which hospital he was in. How could Annalise find him?

Initially, Kent thought Annalise might come to the hospital to visit him. He could also pretend to be sick and use this opportunity to repair his relationship with his niece. Didn’t many pairs of father and child who had turned against each other end up repairing their relationship suddenly when the father fell sick? To his surprise, Annalise was as smelly and hard as a rock in a latrine. As Kent thought about it, his expression turned icy.

In that case, there was no need for him to meet Annalise. As long as he did not meet her, she would not be able to get him to sign the document. If he did not sign it, Annalise would not be able to get the shares. If Annalise took the legal route, Kent could use public opinion.

If public opinion couldn’t make Annalise relent, Kent could only execute short-selling on the shares of the Moonlight Group. Fortunately, he was already prepared to do this..

As he thought about it, Kent sneered and lay comfortably on the hospital bed, scrolling through his phone.He would stay in the hospital for half a day and not return to the Barton family’s residence at night. He would stay in a hotel. If Annalise wanted to find him, she could dream on.

Suddenly Kent felt a little sleepy. He yawned and closed his eyes to sleep. It was better to be rich. The VIP ward was truly homely and comfortable. “Let’s go to the hospital now,” Annalise said. Julian asked, “Do you know which hospital?”

“I don’t know. I have to check,” Annalise said. She might have to make a trip home to get her computer to locate Kent Barton. Alternatively, Annalise could call her fourth mentor James Brown for help. James was a top-notch hacker. No, to be precise, he was a Red Hacker.

His team specialized in protecting the country’s cybersecurity. “I’ll check,” Julian volunteered. Annalise looked at Julian in surprise. So Julian was also a hacker? “Send me Kent’s number, Julian said. “Alright.” Annalise immediately sent Kent’s number to Julian.

Julian made a call. “You have one minute to check the location of this phone number. I want the specific hospital ward number.” Annalise Barton was speechless. She had thought that Julian was also a hacker and would investigate it himself. So he wasn’t one after all.

However, it was normal. Julian had learned all kinds of skills from a young age. How could he have the time to learn hacking skills? “What are you thinking?” Julian raised his eyes to look at Annalise. Annalise smiled and said, “Nothing.” Julian reached out and stroked Annalise’s head. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

A minute later, he received the location of the hospital and the ward number where Kent Barton was staying. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, “Get in the car. We’ll go to the hospital.”

Kent was all groggy from his sleep when he felt someone shouting “Uncle Kent.” He turned over in annoyance and thought to himself that even his dream would not let him sleep in peace. “Uncle Kent!”

Annalise shouted again. Then she said, “Get up and sign the document.” Kent became even more speechless. It was really annoying that he had even dreamed about signing. Signing?

Kent literally had a rude awakening. When he opened his eyes, he saw two figures in front of the bed. Who else could it be but Annalise and Julian? For a moment, he thought that he was seeing things. He blinked his eyes hard and looked again. The two of them were still standing in front of his bed like door gods.
