Chapter 23: The Grand Group's Failure
Paul didn't resist and really knelt down in the yard.
The butler held the whip and hesitated, but when he met Old Mr.Howard's cold gaze, he gritted his teeth and gave Paul a whipping.
The butler used his strength tactfully.
Paul didn't get injured badly, although it was painful.
His skin was split and flesh broke forth.
Soon, blood oozed from Paul's back.
Sweats trickled down Paul's forehead.
The butler glanced at Old Mr.Howard, waiting for his next order.
But Old Mr.Howard stood in front of the French window with a gloomy face.
His gaze was complicated but he did not ask the butler to stop.
The butler could only continue.
Old Mr.Howard sighed heavily.
He clearly knew that no one could protect Amy except Paul.
So he couldn't allow Paul to divorce her.
"Grandpa, I want to divorce her,’ Paul said this again calmly.
"Butler, go on.I need to rest.Let Paul kneel here.He can only get up after giving up divorcing Amy."
Old Mr.Howard walked upstairs.
His walking stick banged on the floor, and he compressed his lips coldly.
The butler looked at Paul's back and then quietly stopped.
"Mr.Howard, admit your fault, please.If it goes on, there will be plenty of wounds on your back."
Paul slowly closed his eyes and straightened his back.
"Go on.’’
The butler sighed and began to whip him, but Old Mr.Howard was not there, so he didn't exert all his strength.
Half an hour later, Paul began to shiver with pain.
The butler asked two servants to check Paul's condition.
And he went upstairs to persuade Old Mr.Howard not to punish Paul.
When Amy arrived at the hospital, a doctor was giving emergency treatment to her grandma.
No one knew what was going on inside.
She sat in her chair, trembling with fear.
And a chill of coldness spread from her heart to the whole body.
It had been midnight already before the operation was over.
She struggled to stand on her feet and looked towards the bed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Amy, your grandmother's illness is very serious.She needs to find a suitable kidney for a transplant as soon as possible, or I'm afraid that she couldn't survive:"
"Is there a kidney available in the hospital?"Amy asked in a hoarse voice.
Sure enough, the doctor shook his head.
"It is not easy to find a kidney or bone marrow, and you have to queue up.There are four or five people waiting for it ahead of your grandma." Amy slowly closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"I see.Thank you.’ The doctor nodded and asked the nurse to push her grandma into the ward.
Amy followed them in and sat down beside the bed.
Her mind went blank and she was in no mood to think about anything else.
Her grandma was the one who treated her best in the world.
She couldn't bear to see her grandma die.
Then she fell into sleep unconsciously.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Amy woke up.
She sighed and grabbed her grandma's hand.
"Grandma, I'm going to work.Don't worry, I'll work hard and find a suitable kidney for you.I won't let you die."
After that, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and took a taxi to the Grand Group.
The Legal Department was in a mess, and everyone looked worried.
"I didn't expect that we would lose.Our enemy used to be an employee of the Grand Group.I'm afraid that we will become a laughingstock in this industry."
"It is the first time that we have been defeated.’ Amy raised her eyebrow.
She had thought that under Yvonne's leadership, they would succeed.
She sat in her seat, checked the information about the lawsuit, and frowned.
The Grand Group charged the company with plagiarism, but its definition domestically was different from that abroad.
Amy was looking through the document about this case when she found the domestic media had been reporting on the news that the Grand Group was defeated, and in a short time, it had become a trending topic.
Amy gave a smile.
Although they had lost the lawsuit abroad, they had opportunities to go to court domestically to turn the tide.
But they could not charge with plagiarism.
She took the documents she had sorted out and felt that it was an opportunity to prove her ability.
Perhaps once they won, she could become an official member of the Legal Department.
At noon, she took the documents to the top floor, only to find that no one was there.
"Amy” Tim greeted when he walked out of the president's office.
"I'm going to see the President.He's in hospital.Are you coming with me?"
Paul fainted when he knelt in the old house last night with some serious wounds on his back.
But Amy didn't know about it.
"Amy, you'd better come with me.He got injured before you."
Tim walked ahead with an anxious look.
And she consciously followed him.
‘‘It has something to do with me? How could it be?’’
