Chapter 860 No Chance To Turn Back
"Are you suggesting that I go back and seduce Bob to sell aerospace technology to you to get through this crisis?" Hellen questioned Ronnie with a livid face.
Ronnie squinted slightly, his hand on her waist paused, and he gently withdrew it. "Don't make it sound so harsh. After all, you and Bob had a deep marital bond. If you go back and persuade him, he might soften up and give you the product out of pity. That way, the Peterson Group will be saved."
He didn't want to buy it.
He wanted Bob to willingly give it!
Hellen had never felt so much contempt for Ronnie as she did now.
But he had always been this kind of person. For the past thirty years, he had secretly risen by seizing the interests of the Rodriguez Group.
Back then, she was blinded by love, liked Ronnie, and even thought he was smart and good at hiding his strength.
Now that she thought about it, Ronnie didn't have much strength.
His strength was in manipulating people's hearts, despicable and shameless, truly disgusting.
Ronnie actually had the nerve to target her, even suggesting she sell her body!
To save the Peterson Group, he was willing to sacrifice Hellen, whom he had loved for many years.
Or had he stopped loving her long ago?
Thinking about Ronnie's affair with his secretary, the information Hellen had received made her even more furious and fearful. She tightly grabbed Ronnie's arm, her voice trembling with anger, "Don't target me, Ronnie. You're underestimating Bob; he's not someone who will listen to me!"
Seeing her resistant expression, Ronnie let go of her and stood up. "Hellen, I'm out of options now. I'm asking you to give it a try. Maybe he's hoping you'll come back to him."
Hellen couldn't help but think of Bob's upright features, and her heart ached.
She had fallen out with Bob when he was critically ill, forcing him to divorce her. Now it seemed like a mistake.
She had left herself no way out.
"Hellen, for me and for Mars, can't you even give up your dignity?" Ronnie turned around, pressing her step by step.
Hellen's face turned cold. "The Peterson Group's troubles are due to your mismanagement and your decisions losing to Lawrence's schemes. You should find a way to help the Peterson Group transition smoothly, not use me."
"If I had a way, would I be forcing you?"
Ronnie's face changed instantly, glaring at her and scolding, "Mars is useless. He spent twenty years lurking around Bob and still didn't learn Lawrence's skills! You blame me, but am I not anxious about the Peterson Group's current difficulties?"
"I'm just asking you to chat with Bob. I'm not asking you to sleep with him. Hellen, I know what you're thinking. The Peterson Group will definitely be Mars's in the future."
"But don't disappoint me too much. If the Rodriguez Group's product can be obtained with a few words from you, then you should try. Otherwise, neither you nor Mars are of any use to me. I don't deny that I might consider having another son."
"Ronnie." Hellen's face turned red with anger. "What do you mean?"
Ronnie, cold and heartless, lit a cigarette and looked at her. "My secretary is pregnant. I had her get an abortion last week. But if you don't go and try with Bob now, I might consider letting her keep the baby. After all, no one minds having more children."
"You, you shameless! We've been in love for thirty years, and now you're cheating with your secretary and have an illegitimate child. Ronnie, is this your love for me? I finally understand, all these years I've been just a tool for you to seize benefits from the Rodriguez Group. No wonder you didn't mind my close relationship with Bob back then; you never cared about me!"
"Think what you want. Didn't Bob not sleep with you all these years? So I'm not worried. Hellen, you're the one I love the most, but men inevitably have moments of intimacy with others. You should think carefully about Mars's future." Ronnie squinted coldly, finishing his words.
He turned and left.
Hellen wanted to grab the ornament on the desk and smash it against his head!
Her nails dug into her palms, and she felt a chill all over.
She had made the wrong choice. Bob wasn't the cold-hearted one; Ronnie was the most heartless.
Wiping away her tears, Hellen could only compose herself, lower her head, and take out her phone to dial that long-lost number.
But after several attempts, Bob didn't answer her calls.
Her face darkened, and she felt an indescribable sense of loss, bitterness, and anger.
Furiously, she threw her phone into her bag and quickly called Mars to confirm Bob's whereabouts.
"Mom, are you going to see Bob? Why?" Mars was puzzled but instinctively felt it had something to do with Ronnie.
Hellen's eyes welled up with tears, but thinking about Mars's fate now being in Ronnie's hands.
Maybe if she hadn't exposed Mars's parentage to Bob back then, even if Bob didn't value Mars, Mars wouldn't be in his current predicament.
It was too late to regret.
No chance to turn back.
Hellen had made up her mind. She might as well go back and repair her relationship with Bob.
Ronnie was right; she and Bob had thirty years of marital bond!
Bob wasn't close to women, and she was his only intimate wife all these years.
He should have some lingering feelings for her. Even if he was angry, as long as she admitted her mistakes and acted coy, she could win back Bob's heart.
"I'm doing this for you, Mars." Hellen's eyes turned cold, and she changed her tone, becoming icy. "You keep an eye on Ronnie's secretary. Find an opportunity to take action and get her to the hospital for an abortion!"
"What?" Mars's eyes turned cold. "You mean the secretary is pregnant with Ronnie's child?"
Hellen's eyes turned bloodshot.
Mars cursed, "That bastard Ronnie, I'm going to find him now!"
"Mars! Don't be impulsive. Have you forgotten that you don't have the inheritance rights to the Peterson Group yet?"
She continued, "We've been deliberately delayed by Ronnie. We used to think the Peterson Group would always stand as the top company in Veridiania, but now Lawrence has suddenly struck, and the Peterson Group is wounded. Ronnie will be even more guarded against those around him."
"He's naturally suspicious, and now he's asking me to plead with Bob. I might as well go along with the plan. If I can regain Bob's favor, I'll remarry him! In any case, we have to plan for ourselves!"
Mars frowned deeply.
Hellen decisively hung up the phone and had the driver take her to an address Mars had given, where Bob was said to be.
But when she arrived, Hellen found it was the Dazzling Estate villa area.
It was late, and Hellen had heard that after the Rodriguez Family left the Rodriguez Villa, they bought a building, not in Dazzling Estate.
What was Bob doing at Dazzling Estate so late?
Following the address, Hellen found that Dazzling Estate was where Melissa lived!
As she walked over, she happened to see Bob and Melissa walking out of the house side by side.
The coquettish look Hellen had carefully prepared instantly froze, mixed with intense jealousy and unwillingness.
