Chapter 437: Chapter 379 Steal the Proposal
Sebastian couldn’t swallow this anger. He had always regarded Murray as an enemy. And the BPL Group never gave up any chance to go against the Gibson Corporation.
Sebastian and Murray were incompatible.
Sebastian closed the web in frustration. He didn’t want to see any more reports about North Bay Amusement Park. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
North Bay could have belonged to him, yet because of Murray, he suffered a great loss.
"Alright, go back to work."
Sebastian looked up at his assistant with a gloomy look and waved his hand impatiently. His unhappiness was out there to be seen.
The assistant had been carefully observing his face. The moment Sebastian waved his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned and left.
Sebastian supported his forehead with his right hand, looking gloomy yet didn’t show much emotion.
He thought, North Bay Amusement Park? Nice!
Murray, I won’t let you make it this time.
I will make the Gibson Corporation’s wishful thinking come to an end , no matter the what cost.
Ryleigh...
Sebastian suddenly thought of this woman. She had told him last time that Murray was now very obedient to her, so it was better to start with her.
Thinking of this, Sebastian called Ryleigh.
The nurse Murray hired had just finished measuring Ryleigh’s blood pressure and heart rate. Ryleigh nodded and smiled politely. "Thank you. Please, take a rest. I’m fine."
She thought, I am not sick at all. If this nurse kept watching me, sooner or later, she’ll find out that I am pretending.
No, I need a better way to make Murray mine.
As Ryleigh was thinking, her phone rang.
It was Sebastian.
When Ryleigh saw the name, her heart skipped a beat. She controlled her emotions before pressing the answer button.
"Sebastian, what’s the matter?"
Her voice was very low in case the nurse heard her.
"What are you doing?"
"I’m resting." Ryleigh’s fingers tightened. Unconsciously, she felt a little nervous.
"Alright, let’s get down to business."
Sebastian loosened the tie and asked, "How is the thing between you and Murray now?"
When Ryleigh heard this, her heart sank. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the nurse’s room and lowered her voice. "I’ve already moved into Moonlight Mansion, he rarely has the time to come back, but he treats me very well. Moreover, he and Melissa had a big fight on the day I moved in. They should not have any contact. Sebastian, don’t worry."
"Very good," Sebastian said.
Ryleigh breathed a sigh of relief. Then she heard Sebastian say, "When Murray goes back these days, be nicer to him, ask him about North Bay Amusement Park."
"North Bay Amusement Park?"
Ryleigh was a little confused. Murray hadn’t mentioned anything about the North Bay project in front of her for a long time. Where did North Bay Amusement Park come from?
There was a long silence on the other side of the line. Sebastian’s eyes darkened.
"You don’t know about it, do you? I know that Murray is very cautious. He won’t tell you so easily."
"No!"
Ryleigh quickly denied it. She was afraid that Sebastian would think that she was useless. If the Lawford family abandoned her, she would lose everything and live in poverty again.
She didn’t want this to happen.
Cold sweat broke out on Ryleigh’s forehead. She managed to adjust her breathing and then whispered, "Murray is really good to me now. And he looked reluctant to mention Melissa when I talked about her. Sebastian, give me some time..."
"Alright."
Sebastian impatiently stopped Ryleigh. He did not call just to reminisce with her.
"I’m calling this time to ask you to steal the Gibson Corporation’s proposal for the amusement park.
"Murray should have a taste of what it feels like to be stepped on by someone..."
Hearing this request, Ryleigh subconsciously frowned. Murray always closed the door of the home office while working. And he couldn’t possibly leave such an important proposal at home.
"But I might not have the chance to see this proposal, and he might not put it here..."
Ryleigh sounded a little hesitant, but Sebastian was not moved at all.
"This is your business. If you fail, you know what will happen! You must make it, understand?"
Ryleigh felt helpless. Yet thinking of the thing Sebastian could do, she agreed absent-mindedly. After the phone was hung up, she secretly clenched her fists.
She was done with Sebastian. She thought that she had to marry Murray as soon as possible so as to escape from the grips of the Lawford family.
After marrying Murray and becoming Mrs. Gibson, Sebastian wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.
...
At the hotel.
"Melissa? Why are you here?" Hearing someone knock on the door, Nina went to open it and surprisingly found it was Melissa.
Nina stroked her hair and invited Melissa in.
Nina hadn’t returned to the apartment these days. She had been living in a hotel. Her mind was messy, she needed some peace.
Walking into the room, Melissa casually sat on the bed. She looked at Nina with a worried expression. "You have been living here for the past few days? When are you going back?"
She knew Nina couldn’t accept the fact that she had sex with Harley after drinking. But staying in the hotel was not a long-term plan.
Nina shook her head silently. What had happened these past few days had made her look a lot more haggard.
She sat next to Melissa and looked down at her fingertips. After a long time, she said, "How has Tom been recently?"
This was the first time that Nina had mentioned Tom in front of Melissa during this period of time.
Melissa did not want to bring up anything that could upset Nina. Hearing her ask about Tom, Melissa patted the back of Nina’s hand. "Oh right, I haven’t told you yet. During this period of time, Luca has been treating him. Tom is no longer against the treatment as much as the beginning. Instead, he is very cooperative. Sometimes, he even talks to Luca. Anyway, he looks much better than before."
"Really?" Nina smiled faintly, looking different from before too.
"What a relief! Thank you, Melissa."
