At midnight, when Sharon was half asleep, she felt that the bed was lowered and then fell into a warm
embrace.
"You just got back?" asked Sharon, eyes closed.
Jameson touched her back gently and said, "Yeah, go back to sleep."
Sharon habitually hugged him and fell back to sleep again soon.
In the dark, Jameson kissed her between her brows.
Now that Natalia was captured, only Tavis Beale was still on the run.
He was unpredictable like a time bomb.
The Beale Group was a complete mess right now with a massive deficit.
And the leaders had either run away or jumped ship, leaving the poor workers at a loss.
If no one came forward to unite and lead the Beale Group now, this family business, which had stood in
the South City for a century and had been the work of several generations, would collapse overnight
and cease to exist.
Many worker's families would have to suffer this colossal blow.
And the person who caused all this was none other than Tavis Beale.
He caused thousands to suffer for his own greed.
No punishment could redeem his sins.
When Sharon was woken by the alarm clock, Jameson had left already.
Jennifer was already in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
"Good morning, madam.Breakfast will be ready in just a minute."
Sharon looked around and asked, "Where's Jameson?"
"He left for business.He asked me to tell you that it'll be like this recently, so don't you miss him too
much."
‘_....Who's gonna miss him!?' complained Sharon.
Halfway through the meal, Sharon suddenly thought of something.
"Jennifer, did our next-door neighbors have a baby? I heard baby's crying yesterday."
Jennifer tosses her head, "That I have no idea.I haven't even met them."
"Me neither."
"If madam likes baby, madam should just give birth to one."
Sharon paused for a moment and didn't say anything.
Jennifer thought that she reminded her of her last child.
"I'm sorry, madam.Have I talked too much?"
"No.I just think that babies are indeed very cute."
Jameson hadn't been wearing protections these days.
Would she get pregnant successfully? She could only wait and see.
After breakfast, Sharon went to the studio.She had a fair bit of work to do after taking this long break.
The Fashion Week was still a few months away, but many things needed to be prepared beforehand.
Time passed to the afternoon.
Tiffany knocked on the door.
"Sharon, you busy?"
Sharon stretched her arms, "Not so much.How's it going?"
"There are some people here.....from the Beale Group.They want to talk to you."
Sharon froze, "Talk to me?"
Tiffany nodded, "Yeah.If you don't want to see them, I'll ask them to leave."
It had been quite some time since the anniversary celebration of the Beale Group.
She hadn't been paying much attention to the news.
But last night, she read that the Beale Group had halted several of their major projects.
Many people from their partner companies came to make a scene.
There was no one in charge in the Beale Group, and the employees were all frightened by the
situation.
"Let them in” Sharon decided after some thought.
"Alright."
To her surprise, she knew both men who came, One of them was the leader who had forced Paisley
Gregory to drink alcohol--Kale Bee; the other was the single dad Paisly introduced to her-Jayden
Bower.
Unlike last time, Kale Bee showed immediate gratitude and exaggerated passion upon seeing Sharon.
He walked over to her and offered both hands for a handshake, "Miss Allyson, thank you so much for
taking the time to see us during your busy schedule.I really..."
Sharon dodged his hands swiftly and said, "Just cut it there.Can we get to the point now?"
Kale Bee wiped the sweat on his forehead as he sat himself down on the sofa.
"On the celebration, we learned that Miss Allyson is the legitimate successor of the Beale Group.With
the situation right now, we have no choice but....."
Jayden Bower took over, "Just let me do it.Miss Allyson, since Mr.Beale's disappearance, the Beale
Group has been in complete chaos.No one has any idea what the future might hold for the group.We
would very much like to know, Miss Allyson, what is your thought regarding the future of the Beale
Group?"
"The Beale Group has nothing to do with me."
Kale Bee immediately followed, "Of course, of course, of course.All the faults are Mr.....no, Tavis
Beale's! We can tell right from wrong.And obviously, we will never ask Miss Allyson to take over the
mess.But the thousands of workers--they are innocent-and so many cooperatives.....Most of them have
families to raise.The Beale Group's downfall is not a big deal to others, but to them, it's everything!
They have put in so much effort and sacrificed so much! I can't even imagine just how many companies
will go bankrupt and how many families will be broken apart."
Upon hearing this, Sharon frowned.
"We understand that Miss Allyson has no obligation to care about the group.But what's at stake is not
just thousands of employees, but thousands of families, too,'' said Jayden Bower.
Kale Bee added, "That's right, that's right! All the other executives have jumped ship, but we two have
worked here for so many years.The staffs are like our family members.We can't forsake them!"
"Family members?"
Sharon looked at Kale and asked.
"Yeah! One can't leave his family behind!"
Kale slapped hard on his lap, thinking that Sharon was moved.
"Perhaps I'm still inexperienced.I've never seen someone forced alcohol down his family member's
throat with ill intent"
Kale Bee's face turned embarrassed in an instant.
He spoke with stiff lips, "I.....I was too drunk that night! Please, Miss Allyson, excuse me for my
inappropriate behavior."
Jayden also tried to help, "Yeah, Miss Allyson.Mr.Bee has his faults, but he’s worked in the Beale
Group for more than ten years.He has a deep love for this place."
"Jayden's right.The Beale Group is my home! How can I stand by as my home is being destroyed?"
Kale Bee sighed, "If Miss Allyson is still angry about what happened before, I can go and....."
Sharon interrupted him, "So, what do you want me to do?"
