Chapter 163
On the other side, in the office of the President of the Clinton Group.
"Mr. Clinton, LR Design Studio is currently engaging in a price war with MY FASHION using last year's methods. They have already lost millions. Do you want me to go to Miss Bella and ask her to stop this plan?"
After all, LR Design Studio had previously defeated its opponents through price wars and other unfair competition methods. Although they eventually won, this also led to LR Design Studio's continuous loss.
If this continued, the billion dollars allocated by the Clinton Group were believed to be lost soon.
Felix paused as he signed documents and looked up at Sophia. "What's the situation with MY FASHION?"
"After MY FASHION released all products at half price, LR Design Studio reduced the prices by 60%, and then there was no further news from MY FASHION."
After a few seconds of silence, Felix said in a deep voice, "There's no need to worry about this anymore. Send a manager from the Clinton Group to assist Bella. You don't need to go to LR Design Studio in the future."
"Do I still need to report to you about LR Design Studio in the future?"
"No, you don't need to inform me about anything related to LR Design Studio in the future."
"Alright."
Sophia lowered her eyes, understanding that Felix really intended to ignore LR Design Studio completely.
After finishing the last few documents, Felix left work to pick up Gianna from MY FASHION.
Gianna was busy, but she greeted Felix as she got into the car and continued to look at the documents. Felix casually asked her what she wanted to eat.
Felix completed his day's work, thinking he would have time to talk to Gianna, but Gianna unexpectedly became busy with work.
"Work is never-ending. Rest well after work hours."
Upon hearing this, Gianna turned to Felix in surprise. "If I remember correctly, you used to work late into the night and sometimes all night."
In the silence, Gianna's phone suddenly rang.
Julian called, saying that Kimberly had been injured and was hospitalized and asking her to go to the hospital immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Felix looked at Gianna, who was lost in thought, and said softly, "If you don't want to go, you don't have to. With me around, the Redstone family won't dare to say anything, even if they are unhappy."
Gianna shook her head. "I plan to go."
After all, Kimberly was nominally Gianna's grandmother, and it wouldn't be right not to visit her.
"Alright, we'll go together."
"No need. You can wait for me in the car."
Gianna didn't want the Redstone family to know about her rekindled relationship with Felix, as it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Felix furrowed his brow, displeasure evident in his eyes. "Am I that intolerable?"
"If the Redstone family sees you, they will definitely be cautious. If you go, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Felix thought to himself that it wasn't his fault.
Felix remained silent, clearly showing his anger.
They arrived at the hospital in silence. When Gianna got out of the car, Felix finally couldn't resist and grabbed her wrist.
"Gianna!"
Gianna looked at Felix somewhat helplessly. "Why do you want to go so badly? Is it because you want to see Bella?"
Before Gianna could finish her sentence, she felt Felix's aura suddenly become colder.
"I'll go with you, or we won't go at all. You decide."
In the end, Gianna couldn't resist Felix's insistence and took him along to see Kimberly.
Seeing Felix and Gianna together, the Redstone family members were all shocked. 'Weren't they divorced?' they thought.
Julian was the first to react and quickly said, "Gianna, why is Mr. Clinton here with you?"
Gianna pursed her lips, about to say they coincidentally met, but Felix grabbed her waist and calmly said, "Gianna and I are currently in a relationship. We heard that Kimberly was hospitalized, so we came to visit her together."
After a strange silence, Julian hurriedly said, "Mr. Clinton, please have a seat," and asked Lauren to prepare coffee.
Lauren was furious inside. She never expected that Gianna, who had divorced Felix, would still try to seduce him. That's why Bella rarely mentioned Felix lately. It was because of Gianna!
Lauren was so angry that her hands were shaking. When she saw the coffee, a malicious idea suddenly popped into her mind.
If Gianna were disfigured, Felix would definitely not want her anymore. Then Felix would reconsider being with Bella!
On the other side, Gianna was unaware of the danger approaching. After exchanging a few words with Kimberly and learning that she would be discharged in a few days, she didn't say much more.
Gianna and Kimberly only met on special occasions, and their relationship was distant. Gianna knew that Kimberly, like others, didn't like her, so she didn't try to get close.
In the midst of the silence, a voice of terror suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Be careful!"
Gianna turned around and saw Lauren losing her balance as if about to fall, and the cup of coffee in her hand flew straight toward Gianna.
If the coffee splashed on Gianna's face, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Gianna was about to dodge when Felix grabbed her wrist and swiftly pulled her aside.
The coffee that was supposed to land on Gianna's face ended up splashing all over his arm.
After steadying herself, Gianna quickly pulled his hand over. The area that was scalded had already formed many blisters.
Lauren clearly didn't expect Felix to get burned, her face turning extremely pale.
"I... I'm sorry. It was not intentional. I slipped just now..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Julian slapped her. "Useless! You can't even make a cup of coffee properly!"
Lauren was angry but dared not say anything more, feeling guilty.
Gianna ignored the two of them and directly pulled Felix up, saying, "Let me take you to treat the burn."
She found a doctor and explained that Felix had been burned. The doctor immediately treated the affected area and advised him not to touch water for a while.
On the way back to the ward, Gianna looked at Felix and said, "Mr. Clinton, I'm sorry you got hurt."
Seeing the guilt in Gianna's eyes, Felix said softly, "It's okay. It will be fine in a few days. But this incident was orchestrated by Lauren."
Upon hearing this, Gianna's eyes flashed with coldness, her voice devoid of warmth. "I know. I didn't expect her to hate me to this extent."
"I won't let her get away with this."
Gianna pursed her lips. "What do you plan to do?"
Felix's tone was indifferent. "The Redstone Group is currently negotiating a major collaboration. If this collaboration falls through, the Redstone Group's financial chain will be broken, and it will face the risk of bankruptcy."
Gianna lowered her eyes. Julian knew that Lauren's mistake had caused the failed collaboration, and he wouldn't let her off the hook.
Seeing Gianna's silence, Felix continued, "If you don't want me to do anything, I will pretend that nothing happened."
Gianna shook her head, her voice as cold as ice. "No need. She caused you harm, and even if you don't act, I won't let this matter go."
Seeing Gianna's indifference, Felix suddenly felt a pang of pity. She must have been disappointed many times to be so ruthless toward Lauren.
"Leave it to me. Although the Redstone family hasn't treated you well, if you really do something to them, others will attack you for no reason."
Gianna looked up at Felix and nodded. "Okay."
The two returned to the ward, where only Julian remained.
Seeing Felix's bandaged hand, Julian continued to apologize, "Mr. Clinton, I'm truly sorry for what happened today."
Felix's expression turned cold. "You don't need to apologize."
Julian was taken aback, not yet reacting, when Felix's next words hit him like a ton of bricks.
"Because I won't let the Redstone family off the hook. The recent collaboration of the Redstone Group will be called off."
