Chapter 243 Eyes Bigger Than Bull's Eyes


When Jared woke up, he was in the hospital.


A thick bandage was wrapped around his head.


The secretary saw that he was awake and immediately called out tremblingly, "Mr...Mr. Gibson..."


Jared did not realize that the secretary was no longer calling him "President Gibson", but "Mr. Gibson".


He sat up holding his forehead and asked with difficulty, "Where are the others?"


The secretary froze for a moment, "Who...are you asking about?"


Jared looked irritable, "Who else could I be asking about?! Other shareholders! That bitch, Ebony, dared to attack me in my territory. Those shareholders are all witnesses! Did they call the police?!"


The secretary's mouth corners twitched, "Er..."


Jared shouted, "I'm asking you whether they called the police!"


The secretary said, "No."


The corners of the secretary's mouth twitched even more, "The..."


Jared was somewhat irritable, "What's wrong with you today? You are hesitant to speak! If you have something to say, just say it!"


The secretary took a deep breath and had no choice but to say, "Mr. Gibson, the shareholders are not outside. In fact, after they had called an ambulance for you, they went to dinner with... President Gibson."


"What?" Jared suddenly widened his eyes, "President Gibson? I'm right here. There is no other President Gibson in Rhonten Group! Where is my mobile phone? Give me my mobile phone!"


The secretary hurriedly handed him his mobile phone, and at the same time handed over a document, saying, "Mr. Gibson, here is a document for your signature..."


Jared was calling Mr. Collins when he glanced from the corner of his eyes and suddenly saw the front page of the document handed over by the secretary, which actually read "Company Name Change Agreement".


Jared froze on the spot.


He grabbed the document and opened it. The more he read it, the more ferocious his expression became, "What is this?!"


Jared was grabbing the document and trembling with anger. He cursed, "Absurd!"


The secretary saw that he was going to explode and said quickly, "But President Gibson also explained that if you don't want to sign, Mr. Gibson, you don't have to sign, because the final decision will not be changed whether you sign or not."


"Zap!"


Jared suddenly tore up the agreement!


A few seconds later, the ward was full of torn pieces of paper.


Jared seemed to calm down a little, and he said viciously, "That little bastard wants to trip me. What is she?! No way!"


The secretary shook her head, suddenly lifted a cardboard box from the floor, put it on Jared's hospital bed and said, "Mr. Gibson, this is actually not the original. It's useless if you tear it up. President Gibson had guessed that you might tear it up to vent your anger, so she asked me to prepare fifty copies. She said you can tear them up if you like."


Jared looked at the box which was full of copies. His eyes were bigger than a bull's eyes!


The secretary added, "President Gibson also said that she showed you the agreement just to show her respect for you. She said that she was a reasonable and civilized person, and she wouldn't do things underhandedly. She would change the name of your company openly if she wanted to. She would take away your position and power openly if she wanted to. She also said that if you're angry when you heard this, then that's right."


Jared was at a loss for words.


After the secretary had said this, she saw that Jared was fuming and his veins were throbbing violently, so she quickly took a few steps back, lest she suffer unwarranted disasters.


Meanwhile, in the VIP room of a five-star hotel, Mr. Collins toasted Ebony with wine on behalf of everyone.


Ebony smiled and clinked her glass of juice with Mr. Collins.


Another shareholder said at this moment, "Come here, waiter. Fill up the wine for our president. Today is the big day that our president joins our company. How can she have juices? She must have wine."


The waiter followed instructions and was about to pour wine into Ebony's glass.


Ebony covered the mouth of her glass with her palm in silence. When she looked up, her black eyes swept lightly towards the shareholder.


The shareholder did not realize it at first. It was only when the room suddenly turned silent and everyone looked at him that he came back to his senses and sweated profusely.


Mr. Collins sighed and helped him out of the trouble, "Why have wine at noon? It's good to have juices. Waiter, go and get a few more glasses of juice."


After the waiter had gone out, Ebony took away her palm from the glass and said, "Let's eat."


Halfway through the meal, the mobile phones of several shareholders rang one after another.


Ebony knew that it was Jared calling them, but she did not care.


Then, Mr. Murray's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, then got up and excused himself to the bathroom.


After Mr. Murray had left, Ebony chuckled lightly, got up, and left the room.


When Mr. Murray came out of the bathroom holding his phone, he saw that Ebony was leaning against the wall with folded arms, as if waiting for him.


Mr. Murray paused for a while and said, "President Gibson."


Ebony looked smilingly at Mr. Murray and said, "Charming beauties make men fall. Mr. Murray, your family is harmonious, and your life is going well. Why do you risk being entangled with an inappropriate woman?"


Mr. Murray was so frightened that his back was covered in cold sweat, and he said stubbornly, "President Gibson, I don't know what you're talking about!"


Ebony put down her arms, walked slowly towards Mr. Murray, and then said, "Mr. Murray, you and Ms. Roxanne Gibson are very good friends. I have a deal here. I wonder if you're interested in it?"


An hour later, the lunch was over.


Ebony got into a taxi to go home after saying goodbye to the shareholders.


In the taxi, Ebony received a message from Mr. Murray after his careful consideration.


Mr. Murray: [If I do as you say, will you really give me 30% of the profits after it has been done?]


Ebony smiled and typed her reply: [Yeah.]


Mr. Murray: [But you're Roxanne's own daughter. Do you really want to do this to her?]


Ebony frowned slightly. Her good mood suddenly disappeared. She typed angrily: [Forget it if you don't want to work with me. You don't have to insult me. Who are you calling Roxanne's daughter?]


Mr. Murray: [...]


In the end, Mr. Murray agreed to cooperate all the same. After all, few people could resist the temptation before absolute interests.


It was already 4pm when Ebony got home.


The servant was preparing food in the kitchen.


Ebony walked over. She took a washed cucumber, put it in her mouth and chewed it.


The servant saw it and asked, "Are you hungry? Didn't you have enough to eat at noon?"


Ebony nodded hurriedly, "There was only one bite of food on a plate in the hotel. It's not even enough to stick between your teeth!"


The servant smiled and said, "Then we'll have meal earlier. I've made your favorite braised fish and pork ribs. How about strawberry milkshake for dessert?"


Ebony was very happy. She hugged the servant and said loudly, "Thank you, auntie!"


The servant liked the way how Ebony loved eating. Older people liked to feed the young. It was more satisfying that the young ate food made by them happily than eating by themselves!


Since it was not mealtime yet, Ebony went upstairs to take a shower and to change her clothes.


When she came down again, she saw that the servant had served the food, but there were only two sets of cutleries.


The servant usually ate with them, so there should be three sets of cutleries for three persons.


Ebony looked around and asked, "Where's Lloyd?"


The servant said, "Sir is busy in his room and won't come out for meal. I'll bring it to him later."


Ebony glanced upstairs. She did not think much and sat down to eat.


Ebony was reading some documents in the living room after meal.


After some time, the servant called, "Miss Gibson."


"Yes?" answered Ebony.


The servant said, "I'm busy in here. Would you help me bring up the food for sir?"


"Okay," Ebony got up from the carpet, took the tray, and went upstairs to knock on the door of Lloyd's room.


No one opened the door at first.


The door only opened after a while.


In the room, Lloyd, who had just finished taking a shower, was naked with only a dark bath towel around his waist. He was holding the door handle with one hand and looking at the girl outside.
