Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

Chapter 429: Most Important to Stay Together

Sasha also returned.

Finally, all the Gales were present.

“Emily is the real Miss Gale. This is the test report and I personally oversaw the whole process.”

Joseph put the report on the table.

In the hall, everyone but Sawyer, who was still in a coma, was present.

Even Milo, the old butler who had served Sawyer for so many years, was there too.

Actually, there wasn’t really any doubt about the fact that Emily was indeed Sawyer’s granddaughter.

The test report was more or less unnecessary.

“No matter what, we’re finally here, all of us.”

The fact that Harley wouldn’t be back seemed to be a certainty, but at least, his real daughter was here.

Lottie held Emily’s hand and was already in tears before she could say anything.

“Kid, you must have suffered a lot these years, living with someone like Wendy.”

Everyone resonated with Lottie’s words.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very gloomy.

Emily only smiled and comforted her, “I’m fine. Haven’t I survived? Don’t worry. Wendy is indeed quite vicious, but I can handle it.”

“But this time, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”

Sasha was very guilty. She looked at Joseph and said, “Even if we wanna sue Wendy, with father’s situation, we don’t really stand a chance.”

Sawyer was still unconscious, so the lawsuit had to be filed by his families instead.

Sasha was there when Sawyer signed the share transfer letter, so she could appear in court as a witness.

However, Sasha was the one who trick the old man out to the sea. Thus, her testimony wasn’t very trustworthy to the public.

Therefore, the case might not be opened until Sawyer woke up.

“It’s fine. We can at least ask the court to freeze these shares first so that Wendy wouldn’t be able to sell them.”

The worst case scenario was Wendy selling her shares to people who harbored ill intentions. And that person might purchase a large number of shares from other holders.

In that case, the Gale Group was very likely to change hands one day.

“But Wendy now holds so many shares in her hands, plus, several major holders are following her. The Gale Group has already fallen into her hands, as a matter of fact.”

Although Francis didn’t work at the Gale Group, he still had 3% of its shares.

So, he was supposed to be invited to the shareholders’ meeting.

Obviously, Wendy was trying to override the power of the Gales in the Gale Group completely.

“Now that we’re filing a lawsuit, Wendy shouldn’t make any big moves at this time.”

Joseph’s words could always comfort the Gales.

“I will contact the other shareholders privately. Just leave it to me. Don’t worry.”

He looked at Sasha and Lottie, “You still have important positions in the company, so keep calm for the time being. Please go back and do your job.”

“If we go back now, wouldn’t we be living at Wendy’s mercy?”

Knowing that Wendy was not the real Miss Gale but still working for her, how could Sasha be willing to do that?

Lottie looked at his son, sighed and nodded, “I see. I won’t act on impulse.”

“Sister …”

“It is precisely because the company has fallen into Wendy’s hands and Joseph is not the president anymore that we can’t afford making any mistake.”

Right now, Wendy could call a shareholders’ meeting at any time to remove them from their posts if something went wrong or their attitudes were not okay to her.

Then, there would be no Gale in the Gale Group.

“Sasha, it’s not the time to act on impulse. You have to learn to endure, understand?”

For all these years, Sasha was good at nearly everything but enduring.

She had a bad temper and would do things in a hurry sometimes.

So this was actually a good opportunity for Sasha to refine her temperament.

“Promise me that you won’t provoke Wendy or cause trouble until Joseph comes up with a better solution.”

Lottie stared at her sister with a serious face.

“You cannot give her any chance to find faults with you, okay?”

Facing her sister’s stern gaze, no matter how angry Sasha was, she could only calm down.

Finally, she nodded.

“I see. I won’t let her have any opportunity!”

“Now, that is my good sister!”

Lottie smiled and let out a sigh of relief.

Joseph looked at everyone and smiled, “Actually, the most important thing is that we are together now.

As long as our family is united, nothing will be truly difficult.”

Nothing was more important than the family being united.

Emily had been thinking about Joseph’s words for the whole night. They lingered in her mind.

Family is only complete when they are together!

The Gales were together now, but the father of her child...

It was inevitable for her to think about those things when she was alone.

She touched her belly, fantasizing that her baby was asleep inside, sound and quiet.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice that someone else had come in.

“Still thinking about him?” Joseph pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.

His gaze also fell on her belly.

A baby was in there, but not many people knew about it.

“Joseph, what happened between you and me…”

“Don’t worry. As long as you don’t go on the Internet and read the news, everything would be fine.”

He was afraid that if she took a look, she would suffer from cyber-attacks.

Wendy had hired people to hype up their affairs, and now, it was getting more and more exaggerated.

There were still things that Emily did not know and Joseph did not want her to know.

“In short, you just stay at home now and take good care of yourself. Don’t think about anything else.”

“You mean … there’s still a huge storm on the Internet?”

Emily almost couldn’t help but pick up her phone to check it.

However, Joseph’s gaze calmed her down.

“Listen to me. Don’t look, don’t ask, and don’t think. I will settle it down.”

He held her hand and said, “Take care of yourself, okay?”

Emily bit her lips and finally nodded.

She could not be a burden to Joseph now, nor could she drag him down.

Like he said, the most important thing right now was to take good care of herself.

They still have to take care of Grandpa!

Only when she recovered could she have more energy to do that.

“Joseph, I know what to do. I won’t let you worry about me. You have my words.”

Joseph nodded, “Have a good night. I’ll take you to grandpa tomorrow.”

“That won’t be necessary. You must have a lot of things to do. Just do your things. It’s fine.”

Emily sent him out of the room, “I will go with Milo. He’ll take care of me.”
