Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 142: The Meeting

Zayne Sinclair understood, the Rhodes family wanted to push Fiona Rhodes into his arms?

But how could he possibly want a woman that Julian Sinclair didn’t want?

However, if the Sinclair Group’s power ultimately did not fall into his hands, would getting engaged to the Rhodes be better than sticking to the Whitman family?

After all, the Whitman family is just a turtle hiding its head now.

Zayne couldn’t suppress his smugness, he crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Fiona, "Fiona, it’s been a long time since we’ve met."

Fiona rolled her eyes, her tone not very friendly, "I didn’t want to see you."

"What nonsense are you talking!" Fiona’s father stopped her from saying anything inappropriate.

Zayne was indifferent, he obviously knew why Fiona had such an attitude, he pretended to be a little angry, "Uncle Rhodes, since someone doesn’t welcome me, I’ll leave then, to avoid some people losing their appetite."

"Zayne, who wouldn’t welcome you? Fiona was just saying she’d call you to come over."

Fiona’s expression revealed she was coerced.

"Actually, Fiona and I have had pleasant times, I miss them." Zayne said while looking at Fiona, recalling how exciting that night was, any man would miss it.

Fiona understood Zayne’s meaning, her face turned pale, yet she couldn’t argue back.

"Did you and Fiona have such a past? Haha, wonderful, wonderful, why not tell us?" Fiona’s father suggested with interest.

Just as Zayne was about to speak, Fiona rushed over and covered his mouth, saying fiercely, "If you dare say a single word, believe me, I’ll kill you?"

Despite her terrifying expression and words, to the Rhodes, this scene was quite suggestive.

Zayne’s mouth was covered by Fiona’s hand, he didn’t resist, just squinted his eyes and licked her palm.

Fiona’s face stiffened, she finally withdrew her hand, "You’re truly shameless."

"You rushed over to cover my mouth, yet said I’m shameless? Is there no justice in the world?" Zayne laughed, provoking her, "Remember back then—"

Fiona glared at him, gnashing her teeth in anger.

Zayne secretly laughed, "Thinking back then, I was older than her yet often bullied by her. I was very angry at the time, but now I think, those memories are quite beautiful."

Fiona felt relieved when he didn’t disclose the matter.

——

The Sinclair Castle.

Julian’s father hadn’t been home long before receiving a notice for a meeting.

Recently, meetings have become more frequent, but each ends in a bad atmosphere, this time will probably be the same.

However, this time only Julian’s father attended the meeting from his generation.

"The handover of the Sinclair Group’s power is imminent, but no suitable heir has been found yet." An elder sighed, "It’s really tragic, no matter how we try to escape, we can’t avoid calamities, making the child suffer..."

"We propose that if Seán wakes up within three days, our plan remains unchanged, as the matter of inheritance cannot be delayed. If Seán is still in the hospital bed, we’ll skip the inheritance ceremony and proceed directly with the signing."

After speaking, several elders looked at Julian’s father, seeking his opinion.

"This..." Julian’s father frowned, three days... it’s not that easy...

Julian Sinclair has been unconscious for twenty days, how could he wake up in three days...

"Dear uncles, I naturally support your proposal, but if Seán doesn’t wake...what then?"

"Then we’ll urgently select someone from the younger generation, we’re too old to handle any more trouble."

Julian’s father unconsciously tightened his grip on the walking stick, responding faintly.

Among all the peers in the Sinclair with Julian’s generation, none had a good relationship with him. If someone else inherits the Sinclair Group, would they find ways to trouble him?

Thinking of this made Julian’s father uneasy, he skipped dinner and rushed to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, he sought the attending physician, yet the doctor had left, leaving only the resident intern.

Julian’s father hesitated about asking him, but the intern walked over proactively, "Is there anything you need?"

Seeing the doctor had spoken, Julian’s father asked, "Is there a better way for my son to wake up soon?"

The doctor thought for a moment, "A patient’s willingness to wake depends on himself, meaning if external stimuli about something he cares about could be transmitted to his brain, he might wake up."

"What he cares about?" Julian’s father was shocked, he didn’t know what Julian cared about.

"Yes, it could be audio from his phone, a voice from someone he cares about, anything. Try different things."

Julian’s father was again startled, the voice of someone he cares about... but his biological mother has passed, what voice is left...

"Then... his phone..." Now the only idea Julian’s father had was to find something in his phone.

"Didn’t you claim his phone?" The intern was surprised, "Usually, after operations, family come to claim the patient’s belongings."

Understanding his negligence, Julian’s father was full of guilt and remorse.

The intern opened the room number corresponding, then handed the phone to Julian’s father, "First, see what audio can be played, then give it to me to sterilize before taking it in."

Julian’s father took it, his hands slightly trembling.

He sat in the corridor, opened Julian’s photo album, but there was nothing, he was always meticulous in his work, leaving no trace, how could he find any audio...

As disappointment filled his reddened eyes, he suddenly saw a video in the trash folder of the album.

He hurriedly clicked it, the scene showed a very beautiful girl playing the piano, but the girl’s face was turned sideways.

Julian’s father pondered for a long time before recalling this was the girl Julian had adopted.

Julian’s father was surprised there was such a video on Julian’s phone, he showed it to the doctor, saying, "Doctor, please try this."

The doctor looked at it, "Okay, let’s try."

The intern took it to be disinfected and then sent it to Julian’s hospital room, allowing the video to play continuously.

Julian’s father stood outside the quarantine area, and for the next three days, he wouldn’t leave for even a second.

He intended to stay here, he wanted to see Julian wake up personally and sign his name on the Sinclair Group’s power transfer agreement.

However, his heart didn’t truly believe the video would awaken Julian; after all, Julian had used that girl to overturn the Whitman family, indicating she didn’t matter to him.

But circumstances were urgent now, apply a last-ditch attempt, there was no other better way.
