Kenny's anxious tone came through the receiver, and Lilia, who was sitting next to the man, heard the contents clearly.
Economic Investigation Team?!
Then she slightly leaned forward as a trace of suspicion was seen passing through her eyes.
At this moment, compared to Kenny's panic, the man was still calm and steady. The thumb of his left hand gently rubbed the back of Lilia's hand, and his tone was calm when he responded, "Send a corporate attorney and entrust him as an agent to cooperate with the investigation."
Kenny was silent for two seconds before lowering his voice. "Sir, would you like to speak to the mayor on this matter? I'm afraid Oliver has spoken nonsense against us."
This is not his guess. If Oliver isn't talking about his company, why would the members of the Economic Investigative Union ask their representative for further investigation?!
The man lowered his eyelids, his eyes fixed on the tips of his shoes. "No, there's no need to bother him with this little thing."
While holding the phone, Kenny opened his mouth, and finally held back his suspicion. After closing the call, he hurriedly contacted the company attorney.
...
Before getting out of the car, Lilia looked somewhat curious about what she'd just heard. "What will the Economic Investigation Team do?"
The man stopped his movements and looked to the side. "They took Oliver and asked him to cooperate with their investigation on the grounds of leaking commercial secrets. What happened today may have something to do with him."
As soon as Jean explained the story and his takes on this matter, Lilia nodded nonchalantly. "Oh, I see. But if Oliver wants to drag you down, it might be a little silly for him."
The man got out of the car in no hurry. Hearing what his wife said, a trace of interest flashed across his eyes. "What do you think?"
While thinking about it, Lilia patted her lips with her nails. "If Galaxy Real Estate reported him, then the only one who can help Oliver now is you."
"If he still can't distinguish the good from the bad, and drags you down, along with Galaxy Real Estate's accountability to him, his fate won't be so good," she added.
If the crime of leaking commercial secrets is really proven, Oliver will definitely be jailed.
Thinking about this, Lilia's expression went dazed for two seconds, and she let out a soft sigh. "I don't understand why these siblings always end up in prison?"
This made her recall someone from the past—Trisa. It seemed that Oliver wouldn't be able to dodge the lawsuit and escape his fate.
The man curled his lips and smiled, then raised his hand to pinch Lilia's chin. The two looked at each other with their gentle gazes. "This is self-inflicted. Let's go and listen to our baby's heartbeat."
Lilia sighed and nodded. She walked from the parking lot to the lobby of the hospital, but after only a few steps, her palms were already sweaty.
She just hoped all this would be worth the joy coming her way soon when she heard the life growing inside her.
Lucas leads the Surabaya Central Hospital. It is said that this private hospital was founded by his older sister and is currently considered the best maternity hospital in Surabaya.
As Lilia continued to breathe deeply, she put on the scarf and buried her cheek in it. Then she lifted her head up to the door of the office on the third floor.
"Young Master Jean, Miss Lilia, this is my older sister, Amelia."
Amelia is over forty years old. But despite her age, her appearance still makes her look beautiful as she takes pride in taking care of her body. Still, she's specially known for her extraordinary temperament.
She smiled and stood beside Lucas, looking at Lilia and Jean who were walking slowly side by side. "Young Master Jean, Miss Lilia, welcome. I am Amelia."
"Good morning, it's an honor to meet you."
Lilia stepped forward and shook hands with her, her eyes fixed between her brows, and she got a good impression of this new person.
"Come on, let me take you to the nutrition department first. After that, we'll do an ultrasound. I just heard from Lucas say that your morning sickness has been a bit serious lately, and we happen to have a professional nutritionist to give you some advice on how to ease it."
Lilia nodded and thanked her, then Amelia looked at Jean again. "Young master, would you like to join us?"
Before the man spoke, Lucas answered it for him. "Sister, I have something to discuss with the young master. We will follow afterwards."
His words made Jean look at him a little, but the man didn't refuse.
After Lilia and Amelia entered the nutrition room, Jean looked at Lucas and said, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Lucas scratched his head and sighed. "Young Master, once the matter with your wife is resolved, will you be able to take the time to persuade your brother?"
The man frowned for a moment. "What's wrong with my brother?"
Lucas wagged his nose and held on for two seconds, still covering his mouth. "He had a serious flu some time ago, but he didn't take it seriously. He just took the medicine casually and didn't let us treat him."
"However, his illness has become more and more serious lately, and if this continues, I am afraid that it's a symptom of pneumonia. I coaxed him several times, but he refused to go to the hospital. Before I came to your house, I already went to your family's house, and I fixed the IV for him at four AM," he added.
Lucas then continued, "His wife took care of him every day, but his symptoms got worse and he had to be taken to the hospital for further treatment. I beg you to persuade him to come to the hospital because this disease cannot be underestimated."
Listening to his explanation instantly made Jean's face turn grim. He called his sister-in-law a few days ago, but she didn't say that his older brother was sick.
Lucas saw that the man's face looked unpleasant, so he stared at him silently. "Young master, don't tell them that I told you about it. I really can't take it anymore, just ..."
"Alright, wait a minute." The man turned and walked the way he was coming, Lucas stared at him for a few seconds, and then yawned in an unsightly manner.
He's trapped to death!
About ten minutes later, the man came back.
Lucas was leaning against the wall feeling sleepy, then opened his eyelids when he heard footsteps. "Young master, how's it?"
"You can return home early. If he hasn't been admitted to the hospital, let me know."
Lucas immediately became energetic. "No problem!"
Sure enough, young master Jean was the best way to persuade the head of the family.
...
At the same time, inside the Widjaya family's main house, James sat at the head of the bed in a bad mood with slightly sunken cheeks, coughing twice from time to time.
He watched Jimmy and the servants pack their belongings and insisted, "Move faster, what if the hospital's closed?"
His old house happened to be close to the Apollo Hospital, so he planned to go there for treatment.
Jimmy then glanced at James. "Sir, everything has been arranged, don't worry!"
At this time, Irene came in from outside the bedroom, and James couldn't help but happily confirm again. "Is Lilia really pregnant?"
Irene sighed. "You've asked it eight times."
James furrowed his brows. "You're exaggerating! This also goes for Jean, why didn't he say that Lilia was pregnant?"
Today, the two heads of the family just found out that Lilia is pregnant.
Irene still looked tired, she had been taking care of James and she had not rested well for a long time.
She raised her eyebrows. "Jean called me a few days ago, but at that time, he said only that Lilia had a bad appetite and wanted to eat sour food, so he asked if I could recommend some food. He didn't tell me that Lilia was pregnant. I thought it was just a normal craving and I recommend an appetizing meal."
James pursed his lips and coughed. "Smelly brat, when I recover, it looks like I have to teach him some lesson again!"
