My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 283: A Friendly Warning



The couple fell silent again.
"Nellie..."
"I've been suspicious of him since the sanitation hygiene issue.But I reckoned that it wasn't that serious, so I didn't think too
much about it.But now...Jaylen, I asked Bruce to ask Anson for help.But the truth is, I wanted to see how Anson would react.I'd
find out if he knew all along but just stayed silent, or if this was Ryan's working.Sadly, as soon as I said this to Bruce, he
refused."
Jaylen's face darkened.
All the members of the Oliver family were outstanding, except for Jaylen.He looked nothing like Anson, who was a shrewd
businessman, but he resembled his mother.
Back then, Anson just followed his parents’ wish to marry Jaylen's biological mother.
Anson was a soldier when the country was still in turmoil.
Afraid that their son would die on the battlefield, Anson's parents found him a capable woman in the next village.
This woman was talented and hardworking, but she was not beautiful.
Jaylen was the result of Anson and this woman's marriage.
Truth be told, Jaylen inherited his mother's appearance.His eyes were small, but his nose and lips were big and thick.Not only
that, he did not have the stature that many admired.He was plump, and he looked homely.
One could say that he was not at all handsome.
His sons, however, were good-looking, thanks to Nellie's genes.
In a word, she aged like fine wine.She was stunning until now.
Although she was over fifty years old, her beauty still had not faded.
A stark contrast could be seen when Nellie and Jaylen were standing next to each together.
To be honest, they were not a good match for a couple.

Jaylen was abased about his own appearance, so he decided to surrender himself and be obedient to his wife in everything.It
was not much of a problem as Nellie was willful and had a mind of her own.
She was the one who took care of all the family affairs.
The same thing happened in the company.
"Nellie, if it was indeed Ryan...I don't know what to do.We haven't had contact with them for fifteen years.If he really wanted to
take revenge on us, he should've done it before.Why is he only making trouble for us now?"
Jaylen paused for a moment and added, "Maybe we were wrong.Maybe one of our competitors did this."
"One of our competitors?" Nellie sneered.
"We've been running this company for fifteen years, and we've met different kinds of competitors.If they were this capable, our
company would've gone bankrupt a long time ago.Why is our company still standing until now then?"
She had a point.
Upon hearing this, Jaylen nodded in agreement.
"Jaylen, do you know that the celebrity who first reposted this event is working for Glory Media?" Jaylen was taken aback by this.
"Glory Media?"
"Yes, and Glory Media belongs to Oliver Group!"
In a word, Glory Media was Ryan's company.
Kane, the CEO of Glory Media, was Ryan's childhood friend.Now, everything fell into place.
"Ryan has already driven us out of the Oliver family.We no longer have a connection with them for more than a decade.Why
couldn't he just fet it go? This is too much!"
Nellie exclaimed through gritted teeth.
As Jaylen saw that his wife was fuming with anger, he held her hand and coaxed, "Nellie, calm down."
‘How could I calm down?’

When their relationship with Anson came to an end fifteen years ago, the old man gave Nellie and Jaylen the ownership of the
hotel chain.
After years of tears and sweat, they were finally able to take the company public.
‘The company is the fruit of our painstaking efforts.But now, it's in the face of destruction.How can I not be angry?’
"No way!"
Nellie threw back the quilt.
"I can't just watch our company crumble before my eyes."
Just as she was about to take a step, Jaylen grabbed her arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to ask your father something.Fifteen years ago, he said we were no longer members of Oliver family and Oliver Group
had nothing to do with us anymore.Everything could be written off, and we couldn't take revenge on each other.Ryan is obviously
going to break his promise, so I want to ask Anson if what he said in the past still counts."
"Nellie, calm down,"
Jaylen urged in a gentle voice.However, she had had enough.Her two sons grew up to be incompetent and ungrateful.Neither of
them cared about their parents.She and Jaylen had no other choice but to do things themselves.
"If you go there fuming with anger, things will only get worse!"
Jaylen held her shoulders and beckoned her to sit down.
"Wait here.I'll make a phone call first."
"Who are you going to call?" Nellie asked with a frown.
"Ryan!" Nellie fell silent.
Jaylen took out his phone and searched for Ryan's number.
His finger lingered over the call button for a moment, but he dialed it in the end.
Surprisingly, the call quickly connected.

For some reason, deafening silence filled the other end of the line.
"Ryan?" Jaylen asked tentatively.
It was silent for a while, but a deep and low voice came not long after.
It was Ryan.
"I thought it would take you two more days to make this phone call.You surprised me."
The couple exchanged a glance.
All of a sudden, Nellie grabbed the phone and snapped, "Ryan! So you admit, you're the reason why the company is in turmoil
recently?"
"Yeah.It's me," Ryan answered nonchalantly.
Nellie did not expect that he would admit his scheme so easily.She was stunned for a second.
But the instant she came to her senses, she flew into a rage.
"Ryan, it’s been fifteen years! Your brother and I haven't shown our faces to you since.We've kept our promise all this time.Why
did you break yours?"
"Well, there's no reason.Maybe I was displeased, and I just happened to take it out on you guys."
Nellie’s hand trembled in anger and resentment.
‘He was just displeased? He stirred up trouble for us just because he was in a bad mood? To think, the trouble he caused was
grave and could cause permanent damage to us"
"Don't worry.This is just a friendly warning," Ryan cautioned.
‘A warning? Friendly? Bullshit! Our company was so close to being shut down, and yet this was just a friendly warning?!’ Ryan's
words were driving the couple mad.
At that moment, Nellie's grip on the phone tightened.

‘What do you mean by that, Ryan?" she asked through gritted teeth.
"You should keep an eye on Brian!" Ryan replied lightly.
Although his voice was icy cold, he remained calm, unlike Nellie and Jaylen.
‘What does he mean by that?’
Just as they were about to ask more questions, Ryan had already hung up the call.
The couple's faces turned red in fury.But it was then that they finally understood everything.
Here was what happened: Brian had offended Ryan.
On the other hand, Luke could not help but feel sorry for Jaylen and Nellie as he looked at Ryan.
‘Damn.Even if they rack their brains, they still won't figure out what Brian has done to offend Ryan"
"Why did you tell them the truth? You should've just let them suffer!" he asked with a frown.
Ryan did not answer Luke's question.
Instead, he just threw his phone aside and checked the time on his watch.It was already 9:30 in the evening.
"Has the crew finished already?" he asked, shifting the topic.
"Soon."
Luke sat down beside Ryan and urged, "Ryan, you haven't told me your reason yet!"
Ryan merely cast a cold glance at him.
"They don't know how to solve their problem, and yet they found out who to blame.How ironic.What do you think they'll do next?"
Luke was taken aback by Ryan's question.
Jaylen and Nellie had no idea how to save the company, and now they knew who caused this.
‘Damn! Jaylen and Nellie have attached great importance to the company.Now that they've found out that Brian was the one who
brought trouble to their company, they will make him pay for it for sure"

Luke shivered at the thought of this.
For three minutes, he silently mourned for Brian.
Ryan gave Brian a lesson he would never forget, and he did not have to do lift a finger.
‘Ryan is so devious! But I must admit, it feels great!" Luke chuckled inwardly.
Honestly, even he was disgusted by what Brian had done.
How could he not? Brian wanted Wendy to be his mistress while she was down.
‘‘What an idiot! How could Brian have the audacity to do that? Wendy will be his aunt soon.Anyway, he will learn his lesson soon"
