Chapter 873:
This man had gone too far.
Yet, strangely, I wasn’t particularly angry. Instead, as I recalled the moments shared with Herbert, a wave of sweetness washed over me. The corners of my mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile.
“Oh, I overslept. My phone was on silent,” I explained.
Joey didn’t press further. She grabbed my arm, her expression returning to normal.
“The real estate agent from the building came to collect the rent just now. They mentioned that Emma still hasn’t paid the water and electricity bills!”
Hearing this, I frowned.
“It seems like she really doesn’t want to continue the business.”
“Do you think it’s possible for someone like Daniel Morgan, a wealthy man, to fall from power so quickly? It seems too fast,” Joey said, confused.
I responded, “Daniel Morgan has lost half of his net worth to William. The company still belongs to him, but William has taken KG Software Company and a lot of money from him. Things are difficult for him now. If his next investment fails, the capital chain will likely break. That’s not impossible.”
“Wow, Connie looks like a bandit. Daniel Morgan was originally very wealthy, and it hasn’t been long since she married him. Now, the company is about to shut down,” Joey said, almost gleefully.
“Well, we’d better focus on our own things,” I said.
“Come with me to meet a client later.”
“Yes,” Joey replied, her voice trailing off.
In the afternoon, I was busy when I received a call from Herbert.
“Why are you calling me at this time?” I answered the phone, still writing something in my notebook.
“I miss you,” came Herbert’s voice, deep and warm.
Hearing this, I smiled, pursing my lips. I set the pen down and gave him my full attention.
“We’ve only been apart for five hours,” I replied, although, in truth, I really did miss him.
“Five hours is three hundred minutes, eighteen thousand seconds. It’s been a long time,” Herbert said, his voice low and magnetic.
I couldn’t help but smile.
“I see you’re getting better at charming girls. Your words are as sweet as honey.”
But deep down, I felt happiness. I thought he wouldn’t say such romantic things, but it turned out his words were more meaningful than I expected. It just depended on whether he was willing to say them.
The next moment, Herbert laughed.
“What girl? You’re married now. Always remember your identity as a married woman!”
“You’re so annoying,” I retorted.
“Are you saying that married women aren’t worth anything?”
