Chapter 318 Christopher Woke Up
Karen seemed to have heard a joke and burst into laughter. She rubbed her aching temples in disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about? Give up Windsor Group?"
She had invested so much in Windsor Group. When Windsor Group first started the resort hotel project, they were maliciously targeted by competitors. The investment in the resort hotel project was so large that they couldn't even clear their debts, let alone see any return on investment.
Several times, during high-level meetings, everyone unanimously demanded to cut this business. Even Christopher didn't support her.
But she was so stubborn. She signed a contract with the executives, stating that if the resort hotel project couldn't achieve an 80% return rate within six months, she would leave the group and never touch its business again.
Under such high pressure, six months later, Windsor Group's resort hotel project was revived. The return rate skyrocketed to 95%. Even during non-holiday periods, the occupancy rate was as high as 60%.
Since then, Windsor Group's Shilla Hotel became the top high-end resort hotel in Southern City and a landmark in the city's center.
Why should she leave Windsor Group?
Sophie wanted to easily take over Windsor Group. No matter who was behind Sophie, Karen wouldn't let her have her way.
K chuckled, his eyes filled with disdain. "It's just Windsor Group, and you hold it in such high regard."
Karen, drunk, didn't hear what he was saying. She stumbled onto the sofa, muttering, "K, follow me, I can provide you with a better life. As long as you work efficiently and reliably, promotions and raises won't be a problem!"
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of Maple Grove Manor, suddenly, colorful fireworks exploded in the dark night sky.
K withdrew his gaze and gently removed her hand from his wrist. "I have to go, Althea Griffin, until we meet again."
"Althea? Who's calling me? I almost forgot, my name is Althea. What a casual name! Karen sounds much better." She leaned against the pillow, rubbing it. Her smooth, glowing face was flushed red from the alcohol, like she had applied blush.
K knelt on one knee and draped a thin blanket over her, smiling. When she was a child, she was far from being as overbearing as she was now. Now, after being at Windsor Group, she had almost become a scheming woman.
But it didn't matter; he was also very scheming.
Outside, fireworks exploded again. It was the second signal.
K leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Althea, my name is not K. Remember, my name is Glenn Cole."
Karen felt an itch on her forehead, like a mosquito bite. She scratched it and turned over, falling into a deep sleep.
After a while, a helicopter hovered above Maple Grove Manor.
Glenn put on a mask. The helicopter flew over the mountain.
Inside the cabin, his subordinate, Alvin Jordan, handed over a tablet and reported, "Mr. Cole, ten hours ago, the Avelonia base was bombed, causing a huge fire. The underground pharmacy was stolen."
This result was not surprising.
Glenn sneered, "As expected, Magnus took advantage of the timing. I thought he had lost his mind falling in love with that Juniper. Even though he was poisoned, he still went to Solara. It was all just a cover."
Alvin asked, "Mr. Cole, should we send someone to Solara to capture Juniper and force Magnus to comply?"
Glenn's eyes darkened. "Do you know what kind of place Solara is? Do you want us to become enemies of the entire international community by doing this in a neutral country?"
Alvin said a bit excitedly, "But he stole the antidote and destroyed our Avelonia base. We can't just let this go!"
Glenn gritted his teeth, his gaze fierce. "Of course, we have to settle this! Previously, in the theater and on the high seas, our actions were intercepted by Magnus twice! Now that we've alerted him, he's already sent Juniper to Solara. Crestoria can't make a move anymore. Useless!"
Glenn kicked Alvin, who endured the pain, not daring to make a sound. "Mr. Cole, you're right. How should we explain this to the former leader?"
Glenn uttered, "That's not your concern. He's old and should retire."
Alvin added, "Michael has agreed to sell his shares to us."
Glenn sneered, "He's a useful person."
Alvin continued, "They just sent the latest news. Although Agency 719 bombed our base, they also suffered heavy casualties. Magnus was injured during the retreat."
Glenn reluctantly praised, "If he's not dead, it's just a minor injury. He's really lucky."
Alvin asked again, "What should we do with the spy we planted in the Abbotts?"
Glenn's hand, which was turning a ring, paused slightly, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. "How did Magnus know about our base in Avelonia?"
Alvin guessed, "Could it be that the spy we placed in the Abbotts betrayed us?"
Glenn's tone was indifferent. "Sophie, right? She's quite smart, but I hate people who think they're clever."
Sophie first poisoned Christopher's food with Venomshade, then got engaged to Magnus, making him think she was a loyal pawn. As a result, Magnus took advantage of the timing and led Agency 719 to attack Avelonia.
Their cooperation was seamless.
A few hours later, the helicopter flew along a private route, just leaving Crestoria.
The SY building was bombed, severely damaged.
At that time, Glenn was sitting in the helicopter, sipping red wine, watching.
Alvin praised, "Mr. Cole, you're impressive."
Glenn coldly glanced at him and scolded, "Useless!"
Magnus bombed his base, and he wouldn't let it go.
However, after this incident, the resistance to making a comeback would be even greater.
If Agency 719 discovered Glenn's identity, they might have already secretly issued a bounty on him.
In this round, neither he nor Magnus won or lost.
It was just a pity that he didn't capture Althea.
He swirled his wine glass, a sinister smile appearing in his eyes. But there was plenty of time.
The next afternoon, Juniper and Jenny arrived at Southern City airport.
Ronald came to pick them up.
Juniper had just had a miscarriage, her face pale and bloodless, looking very haggard.
Ronald opened the back door, and the mother and daughter got in. He sat in the front passenger seat.
As the driver started the car, Ronald's phone rang. It was a call from the hospital.
The nurse asked, "Is this Mr. Ronald Abbott?"
Ronald replied, "Yes, it is."
The nurse said excitedly, "Mr. Christopher Abbott has woken up!"
Ronald's eyes lit up, and he quickly told the driver, "To the hospital!"
