Chapter 46 Why Are You Hiding?
Seeing that Hans was silent, Hellen frowned.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“So, didn’t you send someone to take care of grandmother?”
“I did,” he said in a low voice and recalled Natalie’s call.
Natalie called him and told him that his grandmother was missing. She said her grandmother wanted to go out for a walk and kept complaining about eating fried chestnuts by the side of the road.
When she went to buy chestnuts, grandmother disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hans said slowly with hesitation, “It was an accident this time.”
Hellen was relieved. “In the future, you’d best be careful.”
After all, it was Hans’ grandmother, so it was not appropriate for her to say anything more. She turned around and left.
Hans’ voice rang out behind her.
“Hellen, thank you.”
“It’s nothing. I did it for grandma.”
Hans looked at Hellen’s back and his gaze became complicated.
Not long after grandma left, Natalie called. She was crying miserably.
She had been blaming herself for not taking good care of his grandmother and thus made Hans reassured.
…
After a week, Hellen finally became relaxed.
Ever since the precedent of Donte the last time, the senior executives of the company had been working honestly.
The security at home had been rearranged well. Hellen took the time to check the driver who hit Everet.
But she found that the driver had died in an accident.
There must be something fishy going on!
After Hellen recovered from her shock, she carefully thought about it. The enemy was in the dark while she was in the light. Now, she’d just found some of the enemy’s secrets, yet they had already been blocked.
She could only improve the security.
As long as they wanted to make a move, she was fully prepared to catch them.
In The Jovano Group-
In the president’s office on the top floor, Hellen leaned on a chair with her phone. There was the voice of the game inside.
It was not until Mike led the two executives into the room that she stopped the game.
One of them was from the Commerce Department while the other was from the Market Development Department.
“What is it?”
The director of the Commerce Department said with excitement, “Miss. Jovano, I heard some news at a dinner table yesterday. I want to tell you about it.”
There were many dinner parties in the department. They needed to get in touch with people everywhere, so they were well-informed.
Not too much time had passed before Hellen understood.
The government was going to make a bid for a renovation project next month. This was the most important one designed by the city in the next few years.
Tempe City was very big. The Jovano Group and the Grant Group were located in the north and south respectively, and the businesses on both sides were developing well.
The east side of the city developed well, but to the west of the city was an old town, where Tempe City first developed.
Over the past few decades, a lot of dilapidated houses had shown up in the west. After official research and meeting, they decided to call for a bid and make a large corporation plan and renovate the old city.
“The west occupies a lot of areas!” The director said.
Mike listened to the analysis and frowned. “Although it’s profitable, it’s also very difficult. The residents live there for a long time. And they are relatively old and there are many old people living there…”
“All troubles, as long as they are solved, will be paid out!” Another director said from the side.
The two were obviously very interested in the bidding.
Mike, however, was worried. “Miss. Jovano, the overall plan of the renovation of the west is too big. Should we ask Mr. Jovano?”
Hellen raised her eyes with dense interest. “No. Since we’ve obtained the news beforehand, we must make full use of it. Prepare to bid.”
Although it was an old city, Tempe Middle School where she had studied at, and Tempe University were also located here, so she had a lot of feelings for that place.
“Miss. Jovano…” Mike still wanted to persuade her again.
Hellen knew very well how urgent it was to rebuild there. Not only did she want to make money, but she also wanted to help some people in Tempe City. “You also said that from the overall situation, this is very profitable. We are not the only company in Tempe City. So it’s hard to say whether we could win the bidding. At this time, we have to take it one step at a time. If we think too much, we will miss the opportunity.”
She smiled as she looked at Mike with determination.
Mike suddenly felt a wave of confidence wash over him. “Fine, I’ll send someone to prepare the bidding documents.”
…
In the Grant Group, Hans was reading the documents that his assistant had brought him. He had read through them carefully.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows. “This plan won’t work. Modify it again. We must take over the renovation project!”
David agreed, picked up the documents on the table, and left.
Hans sat for a while and picked up his phone.
He opened the short video app. On his follow-up list, there was only one followed but she had not done a live stream yet.
Recently, Hellen had posted a few short videos, most of which were about health care and makeup.
The comments were full of shock. They said she was not putting on makeup but changing her head.
Hans stared at smiling Hellen on the screen. Her eyes were ardent, warm, and beautiful, like the sun.
Ever since she lost her memories, she seemed to have regained her soul.
Hans was lost in thought for a moment, but he quickly closed the app. He picked up the document beside and continued to read.
The bidding of the Weststadt District was not kept a secret for a long time. The week before the official announcement, there was a hot discussion in Tempe City.
If this project was completed, it would not only make money but also leave a good reputation.
Besides, cooperating with the authorities would improve the credibility.
Stimulated by money and reputation, many large companies in Tempe City wanted to give it a try. Even some of the companies in the neighboring city were getting ready.
…
In The Jovano Group.
When it was time to get off work, Hellen had put away the bidding documents and renovation plans they made for a week. She locked them in a safe before getting up and leaving the office.
Mike drove her to the hospital.
When she arrived at Everet’s ward, she saw her mother holding Darcy’s hand and chatting with her.
Her close friend, who was usually carefree, was now sitting like a young lady and saying words like “madams” and “OK”.
Her little face was still drooping slightly, making Hellen laugh.
“What are you guys talking about?”
“Hellen is here. I was just thanking Darcy for taking care of your brother during this period.”
Hellen understood some medical skills. Glancing at her brother’s face, she sat at the head of the bed and wanted to take his pulse.
Everet retracted his hand. “I’m in the hospital. Why are you feeling my pulse?”
“Let me see how your body is doing,” Hellen said. She narrowed her eyes. “Why are you hiding?”
No matter what, Everet wouldn’t give his hand to her. He knew how accurate Hellen’s judgment was. It was so accurate that some secrets might not be able to be hidden.
Hellen didn’t insist. She just sat there and chatted with him.
Lady Jovano looked at the sky and stood up. “Alright, I’ll go back first. Hellen, go home early.”
“Got it.” Hellen laughed.
After sending off her mother, Hellen sat down next to Darcy with a smile and lowered her voice. “You were pretending to be a lady just now.”
Darcy glared fiercely at her.
Hellen whispered, “This is a huge contrast to when you were looking for a male model.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but Everet, who was on the bed, was listening.
“A male model?”
Darcy’s face stiffened and Hellen turned her head silently. “I’m talking about massage. I’m teaching Darcy how to give you a massage to help you recover.”
Everet relaxed a little.
Darcy was anxious. “Who wants to give him a massage?”
