Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 199

"I don't care! Tommy became like this because of Ned!" Carmen said. "If Tommy learned from his mistakes, he wouldn't have made such a mess this time! It's all because Ned pampered him too much in the past!

"Now that Tommy had made a huge mistake, but Ned isn't going to help us this time? How could he do this?"

Carmen's irrational comments dumbfounded Ingrid. “What are you talking about, Aunt Carmen? All these times that Ned helped Tommy were because of my sake! How could you shift the blame to him because he’s not helping Tommy this time?"

Seeing Ingrid this angry, Carmen quickly grabbed Ingrid’s hand and said, "Please, Ingrid. Try talking to Ned again. Didn't you see that your uncle is still unconscious? If he wakes up and finds out that not only is Yates Group not involved with the collaboration with Vitality Biotech Group, but Eastern Pharmaceutical has taken over our factory and bought our machines, he'll be so mad that he passes out again!"

"Stop it, Aunt Carmen! Just let Eastern Pharmaceutical use our factory. There's still enough time!" Ingrid pleaded in despair. "If Fletcher Corporation goes bankrupt, the Yates family will go bankrupt, too! All hopes will be gone by then!"

Regardless of what Ingrid said, Yates Group belonged to the Yates family and not her. All she could do was give advice, but she could never decide in place of the company owners like Carmen.

Before Carmen could say anything, Ingrid’s phone rang. She saw it was from Ned and went outside the ward to pick up the call. "Hello, Ned. Don't worry. I'm still trying to convince Aunt Carmen," Ingrid said as tears flooded her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Baby. I've already done all I can for Yates Group in all these years," Ned said dejectedly. "You can stop convincing Carmen now. I've talked to Eastern Pharmaceutical. They're not going to use Yates Group's factory and machines.

"But Baby, if Yates Group can't deliver the goods as promised by the end of the month, I'll have to do as the contract says. I hope you won't blame me by then."

Ingrid clenched her fist ."I'm sorry, Ned. It was all Tommy's fault. Don't worry, Ned. I know you've done all you can for the Yates family. It's their fault for being greedy!

I'm not going to blame you. Just do what you should do." After hanging up the phone, Ingrid leaned against the wall and wiped her tears away.

Carmen came out of the ward and asked, "So? Did Ned agree to inject capital into Yates Group?"

Ingrid looked wp and saw Carmen staring at herewith a face full of expectatigns. She said, "Fletcher ~ Corporation had found another way. Ned wilttake the appropriate action according to the contract if Yates Group can't deliver the product by thé end of the month." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"W-What?" Carmen trembled and leaned against the door frame. "All he had to do was inject funds into our company! Why can't Ned just do it?"

‘If Fletcher Corporation had the funds to do tliat, do you think they would share Vitality Biotech Group's project with us, Aunt Carmen?" = ingrid gaia in agony. "If you ‘ve just let Eastern Pharmaceutical use the factory, although we won t get our share of the profit, at leastNed won't go too hard on us for my sake!

"But now? Because you insisted on having him inject funds into us, you broke Ned’s heart! Do you think Ned will let us go that easily according to the contract?"

‘Is it... Is it possible that Ned is just trying to scare'us?” Carmen had a sudden thotght and said N confidently, "As you said, if Fletcher Corporation can monopolize the” profit¥rom Vitality Biotech Group iKe) themselves, why would he share it with us? -to

"I guarantee Ned's trying to scare us so we can change our mind and let Eastern Pharmaceutical into our factory!"
