You Are My Mr Right

Jack Silverton, still the head of the Silverton family, was the one chosen to talk to Elijah Silverton and convince him to come back. So, the board members placed their hopes on Jack. His appearance at this moment was like a lifeline for the board members.

“Chairman…”

Jack had fallen ill due to recent events, and he only managed to come because he heard that a board meeting was being held. He came out of fear that Thorne wouldn’t be able to handle the situation. He dragged his weak body over. If it weren’t for Deck supporting him, he wouldn’t have been able to stand.

The board members were focused on their own interests, so they didn’t consider these details. They all rushed forward and asked, “As the head of the Silverton family, with such a big incident happening, you must give us an explanation.”

Jack didn’t come unprepared either. Before Arwen was caught, she had called him once and said that she could handle the company’s affairs. He also knew that Thorne and Arwen had signed a responsibility agreement. Everything in the company was decided by her, including the contract with Eastsun Group. Jack presented the documents to them. Everyone understood that Arwen was definitely taking the blame for the sake of her son.

“Mr Silverton, this incident has caused a huge loss to the company. Can’t we just find a scapegoat and call it a day?” It was obvious that the board members were not satisfied with this.

Jack managed to stay calm, “Things have already come to this point. Who do you want to hold responsible? Thorne? Or me?”

Silence fell in the room.

Jack continued, “We didn’t want things to turn out like this, but since it has, we can only work together to overcome this crisis. If we talk about losses, the Silverton family has suffered the most.”

The board members didn’t argue against this. The Silverton family held the most shares and had the authority to speak on behalf of the company. So, when Jack said this, they couldn’t refute him.

“May we propose a suggestion?” one of the board members asked.

Jack asked with a pale face, “What suggestion?”

“We still believe that Elijah is suitable to manage the company. What do you think, Chairman?” one of the shareholders said.

Jack’s dull eyes lacked any luster, and he remained silent, not giving his approval. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but there was no turning back now. When he chose Colton Silverton’s family, he severed his ties with Elijah. He had also blocked off all possible retreats. There was no going back for him.

With Eastsun Group in debt of over ten billion dollars, Thorne, owning eighty percent of the shares, had to bear a corresponding responsibility. Evan was watching closely, and the agreement signed by Thorne and Arwen was of no use. Because Thorne had signed the contract with Evan first, and the responsibility agreement with Arwen followed. Arwen was already in prison, awaiting judgment. The evidence against her for murder was conclusive. Even if Colton didn’t die, Elara did, and her actions of killing two people in a row were extremely heinous. It had a significant impact on society, so the outcome wouldn’t be favorable, especially since she was firmly in Elijah’s grasp. Now, if Thorne couldn’t repay these debts, he would also face legal sanctions because of the substantial amount he was involved in, leaving no room for leniency.

At that time, Thorne represented Headence Group as the CEO, so now all fingers were pointed at Headence Group. The board members’ voices calling for Elijah’s return grew louder. But Jack couldn’t bring himself to beg Elijah.

…

Freya returned from the hospital and as soon as she entered, she saw Evan. She wasn’t surprised at all because Evan had been coming here frequently lately, so it wasn’t strange to see him. Even Kai had become familiar with him. Kai would happily shake his toy when Evan held him, not crying or making a fuss.

Freya walked in, washed her hands, and took Kai from Evan. “Let me hold him.”

Evan handed the child to her.

“After I get married and have a daughter, let’s become in-laws,” Evan said.

Freya raised an eyebrow.

Xander, overhearing their conversation, clicked his tongue and said, “That’s wishful thinking.”

Evan gave him a disdainful look. “I’ve been here for half a day already. Why did you just arrive?”

“I had some things to take care of.”

Xander greeted Freya as he walked in and they both went to Elijah’s study.

Elijah’s study had now become the place where they reported their work.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Freya knew better than to disturb them and their work.

Linda finished cooking and said, “Is it time to call them out for dinner?”

Freya said, “I’ll go ask if they’re done with their work.”

So she carried Kai and walked towards the study. With one hand holding Kai and the other about to knock on the door, she heard Xander’s surprised voice.

“What? It’s not Elara?!”

Elijah stared at the jade pendant that Evan had retrieved from Elara’s residence, his eyes lowered, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

“Fortunately, it’s not her.” Said Elijah. His tone was filled with relief.

A woman with such beautiful eyes, how could she be Elara?

He found out that Elara wasn’t the person who saved him when he was a child because of his plan to let Elara seduce Colton. The original plan was to have Elara wear a sexy swimsuit and directly seduce Colton at the swimming pool he frequented. But Elara couldn’t swim and was afraid of water. Elijah knew this. And through his investigation, he found out that Elara was intentionally chosen by Jack.

Xander sighed, “Elara’s death was truly tragic.”

He wasn’t sympathetic. He just thought Elijah was ruthless. Even if Elara wasn’t his savior. At least, she had helped this time. He knew that Arwen might take the final step, but he didn’t protect or warn Elara, which led to her being killed by Arwen.

Elijah put the jade pendant in the safe. He turned around and saw Xander’s regretful expression, saying, “If she doesn’t die, Arwen can’t die.”

So, after knowing that Elara wasn’t his savior, it was destined that she would be used until her death.

Xander quickly shook his head, denying, “I don’t regret it. I just feel that you were a bit harsh on her. But, it’s also her own fault for daring to impersonate the person you care the most about.”

Before Freya appeared, the owner of this jade pendant was the person Elijah cared about the most. But now that Freya was here, what place did this jade pendant hold in Elijah’s heart? Xander was quite curious about this.

“… Mr Silverton, is the owner of the jade pendant still important to you?”

Evan really felt like Xander was always on the edge of provoking trouble. But he was also curious. He secretly glanced at Elijah.

From the moment he put the jade pendant in the safe. It proved that the jade pendant was still important to him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Evan to retrieve it. If the jade pendant was important, then the owner of this jade pendant must still hold significance in his heart, right?

Elijah glanced at the window as if he saw those bright eyes again, and said in a low voice, “I will keep her in a small corner of my heart.”

The rest belonged to Freya.

Freya, standing at the door, was stunned.

She wasn’t her?

Then who was she?

The person he cared about the most?

A small corner of his heart.

All these pieces of information indicated that this person was important to Elijah. Because Elara wasn’t that person, Elijah could be ruthless towards her and disregard her life.

Freya’s heart tightened. If someone could hold a place in his heart, it meant that person was important to Elijah.

Who was her?

Just then, Kai’s toy suddenly hit the door panel.
