Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 283 I'm Over the Moon
The most widely discussed news right now was that Todd has defeated Alaric and successfully qualified to acquire the jewelry company. [Nexus Innovations has always been the leader here in Arizona, hasn't it? How did an outsider beat them this time? Is Alaric still capable?]
[Is Alaric really seriously ill? Maybe he just doesn't have the energy to handle the acquisition. If that's the case, it makes sense.]
[Has Alaric's legendary business career been defeated? Looks like Arizona is about to change hands.]
There were many comments like these. Reading them made Stellan really angry. She wanted to argue with these netizens, but she thought better of it. Because if she did, she would face online abuse. Besides, reasoning with them wouldn't work.
Worried that Alaric would be upset, Stellan quickly drove away from Reassuring Clinic and rushed to Nexus Innovations, entering Alaric's office.
"Galatea, why are you here all of a sudden?" Alaric was surprised to see Stellan come in so hurriedly.
"I already know about you not being able to acquire the jewelry company," Stellan said as she quickly walked to Alaric's desk to comfort him. "Success is not final and failure is not fatal; this is all very normal. It's actually good that you didn't succeed in the acquisition. Now you can focus on your treatment. If you had succeeded, you would have been busy again. So, in a way, it's a blessing in disguise, right?"
Seeing Stellan so anxious, Alaric couldn't help but laugh. He said, "So you were worried I couldn't handle it? Don't worry. My resilience isn't that weak. In life, when you win some, you lose some. It's normal."
"Do you really think that way? I'm your wife. You don't have to pretend in front of me. If you're upset, just say it," Stellan said.
Alaric laughed again and said, "Do I look upset? Not only am I not upset, but I'm also actually very happy. I'm over the moon."
Seeing Alaric joyful look, Stellan was really shocked. She hurried to his side and stared at him, wondering if something was wrong with his brainAlaric said seriously, "I'm sober, and I'm not talking nonsense. I'm really very happy."
Alaric then explained the whole situation to Stellan, who was extremely shocked and even more furious after learning the details.
"This was Ambrose's doing? He threatened Cormac with Aurora?" Stellen asked.
Alaric nodded.
Stellen said, "He is so despicable, kidnapping a child to force Cormac to do such a thing? He's gone too far! I've always heard that the business world is like a battlefield, full of treachery. This time, I've really seen it. Ambrose will do anything to defeat you and successfully acquire the jewelry company. It's simply shameful!"
Stellan was really angry, and she was even angrier at herself. How could she have been so stupid to fall for Ambrose before? Ambrose turned out to be such a despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous person! "Is there no way to sue Ambrose because there's no evidence?" she asked.
"He's always very cautious, and Cormac was in a hurry to save Aurora, so he didn't leave any evidence." Alaric continued, "But it's okay. They won't be smug for long. Ill-gotten gains never last. No worries." "Then why are you over the moon?" Stellan inquired.
Even if Alaric was very open-minded about this, at most he would be calm. How could he be over the moon?
"Because just before you came, I received a call from Cormac. He said he would come to Nexus Innovations to help me. It's temporary, but he'll stay until my treatment is complete."
"Really?" Stellan was also very happy to hear this. "Then it really is a blessing in disguise. If this can resolve the issues between you and Cormac, it's a good thing."
"Exactly. Compared to that, losing the jewelry company is nothing. Besides, I'll get it back eventually. What's mine will always be mine," Alaric uttered.
"Honey, I believe in you. You can definitely do it!" Stellan instantly became very happy too. Then she asked, "So where is Cormac working now?"
Alaric replied, "I initially wanted him to be in charge of the jewelry company and the entertainment center, but since we haven't acquired the jewelry company yet, there's only the entertainment center left. His office is on the top floor of the office building in the entertainment center, and I've arranged an apartment for him right next to his office."
"That's great. Now Cormac doesn't have to squeeze into a small room with Aurora," Stellan said.
This incident did help resolve some issues between Cormac and Alaric, but since all these arrangements were made by Alaric, Cormac didn't really want to accept many of the material benefits. However, he considered Aurora.
Arranging Cormac on the top floor of the office building in the entertainment center was a thoughtful move by Alaric. This way, Aurora could live in the entertainment center every day. She wouldn't have to worry about expensive tickets or queue up early for free admission days.
When Aurora entered the apartment, her eyes widened, and her mouth dropped open in shock.
"Cormac, is this where we're going to live from now on?" Aurora was so excited she started to stutter. "I can live in the entertainment center and not have to buy tickets, living here permanently?!"
"Yes, from now on, you can play in the entertainment center as much as you want," Cormac replied.
"This is so dreamy. Just like a dream!" Aurora exclaimed. From the top floor, they could overlook the entire entertainment center. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking down was truly spectacular. Seeing Aurora so excited, Cormac couldn't help but smile. At this moment, he was grateful to Alaric.
"Mr. Nash, someone is here to see you," the assistant, Xavier Cruz, reported as he walked in. Someone to see him?
It was Cormac's first day in the new office; how could someone come here to see him?
In the reception room, Richard and Rowena were sitting on the sofa, with Richard constantly complaining. "Rowena, why didn't you invite me when you had dinner with Alaric and Stellan last time? Such a rare opportunity." "It was just a casual meal, nothing formal," Rowena replied.
"Next time you have such an opportunity, you must tell me," Richard requested.
Rowena nodded in agreement.
Richard voiced, "This time, we're here to discuss the entertainment center's promotional matters. I was hoping to schedule another dinner with Alaric, but I was told that the entertainment center now has a specific person in charge." He continued, "They said we should handle all future coordination with the new person in charge. This makes me a bit uneasy. Rowena, when you had dinner with them last time, you didn't say anything to offend them, did you?" Rowena was really helpless with Richard's cautiousness. She said, "No, don't overthink it. Mr. Knight is the director of Nexus Innovations. The entertainment center is just a subsidiary. Now that there's a director in charge, it's natural for the director to handle specific responsibilities."
Richard felt a bit relieved after hearing this, but then he started worrying about another issue. "I wonder who the person in charge of the entertainment center is. Will they be easy to work with?"
