'After dealing with Shane is the most difficult problem, the companies that have stopped cooperating with us will return to our company."
How could Mr. Vontroe not know how to solve it?
Now Shane is angry, wait a few days for things to calm down before he can deal with it, so he won't mention Shane for now.
He sighed, his voice low and steady. 'As long as Venn refuses to forgive, it will be very difficult for us to take down the hot search, but you have also seen his attitude. Last night, he announced in public that he was breaking off the engagement, which left us with no hole to hide in."
Mrs. Vontroe was silent.
Venn's actions this time were extremely determined, he was as angry as Shane.
He will not forgive easily.
'Father, Griselda's house is not run by Venn. His alone agreeing to annul the engagement has no effect. His father nodded, it worked." Karlina wiped her tears, walked down the stairs gracefully, and continued speaking.
'I said it before, Mr. Tabitha owes you a favor, if you go ask him personally, I think he will consider and help us convince Venn. Furthermore, what will happen if he finds out about Venn and Mica?"
At first, Karlina took advantage of this favor to make Mr. Tabitha disregard Venn's objections and become engaged with him.
According to Karlina's understanding, if she could not smoothly marry Venn, then this favor would be equivalent to not being repaid.
Mr. Vontroe breathed heavily and said nothing.
Maybe, he could just try this.

Shane was awakened by the aroma of chicken porridge.
When he opened his eyes, Bertha was sitting next to him, holding a bowl of hot porridge in her hand, stirring the spoon while gently blowing on it to cool it.
This image is too familiar.
It seems that more than half a year ago, he and Bertha had a misunderstanding because of Laura. He knelt in the rain in the garden all night. Only later did Bertha discover that she had falsely accused him, so she cooked porridge herself, took it to his room, and blew it cool for him.
The difference is that Bertha at that time saw him as a target of revenge, her eyes were cold, without any pity.
This time, her eyes were gentle, and every action was full of love.
'Are you awake?"
Bertha put down the bowl of porridge, she helped him sit up, supporting him against the headboard.
Shane's throat moved slightly. 'How did I get home last night? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Bertha picked up the bowl of chicken porridge again and continued to blow on it to cool it. 'I told Liam to carry you home. At that time, I saw you sleeping soundly, and I didn't have the heart to wake you up."
She scooped a small spoonful of porridge and brought it to Shane's lips. 'Come on, eat slowly, be careful of burns."
Shane was stunned for two seconds, then he obediently opened his mouth.
'I woke up in the morning and there was a thoughtful feeding service, why are you suddenly so considerate today?" This made him a little uncomfortable, he felt something strange.
Bertha suppressed the strangeness in her eyes, and she fed him another spoonful of porridge. 'You worked hard last night, so today consider me treating you to a meal, okay?"
Shane. '..."
This statement is too easy to mislead people, he was just carrying her. She must edit her words carefully.
The two of them began to discuss and talk excitedly about the "hard work" topic. The bowl of chicken porridge was quickly empty, the entire thing was put into Shane's stomach.
Bertha had arranged today's company work for her assistant Anne, who planned to spend a day at home with Shane in the afternoon.
Bertha was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and watching a movie, she had a lazy look on her face, Shane was lying on her lap and was using the tablet to do work.
Suddenly there was a knock outside the villa door, very hurriedly.
Outside the door is Tommy.
'Miss, something happened. The third young master quarreled with the boss. The situation is not good, you should quickly go back and check it out."
Bertha immediately stood up and went to open the door.
'What's wrong? Why are they arguing like that?"
Tommy gasped. 'In the morning, Vontroe's house personally came to your house. I don't know what they said to the boss. Because of what happened last night, the third young master was still holding back in his heart, probably because of the engagement and Mica's matter..."
Bertha frowned.
Father, do you already know about the third brother and Mica?
No wonder they fight with each other.
She must return quickly, if the third brother fails, he will suffer.
'Shane, I might not be home until tonight." She put on her shoes and spoke to Shane.
Shane stood up, calmly put down the tablet, and walked over to Bertha.
'If this is a big deal, then I will go with you."
Bertha didn't need to think. 'This is Griselda's house business. It's not appropriate for you to go, just stay home and rest well, remember to obediently take your medicine."
Shane was a little unhappy but he didn't say anything. He took the white coat from the coat rack and helped her wear it.
'Winter will come in a few days, don't catch a cold."
Bertha stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the cheek, then took Tommy, quickly went out, and ran back to her house.
—
Bertha's car had just reached the top of the mountain. From afar, she saw the thin figure of Mica standing at the door of Mr. Tabitha, she paced back and forth, extremely worried.
Bertha got out of the car, walked over, and called. 'Mica."
Hearing her voice, Mica ran to her friend immediately.
'Bertha, during lunch today, Mr. Tabitha sent her subordinates to bring Venn here, but until now, he still hasn't come out. They didn't allow me to enter. I can only wait for news outside, I don't know what the situation is like inside."
