Chapter 574
โHowโs my dad doing?โ Bowen asked as he handed his things to Samson while walking out of the airport.
Last night, he had received a call from the butler at the family estate, saying that his father, Enrique, had twisted his ankle and fallen down the stairs.
Despite his age, Enrique didnโt want to trouble anyone and had told the butler not to inform them, thinking it was a minor incident that would resolve once his ankle healed.
But the butler, who was concerned about the situation, had secretly called Bowen.
Upon receiving the news, Bowen had caught a flight back overnight.
โThe initial checkup at the hospital didnโt find anything serious. Mr. Turner is fine. He just suffered a light fall and a sprained ankle. Nothing else seems wrong for now, but theyโll need to run some more tests,โ Samson replied.
Bowen let out a sigh of relief.
โDid Kelvin get everything I asked him to organize while I was away?โ he asked.
Kelvin figured youโd be back around this time, so he got everything ready ahead of time. Itโs all in the car,โ Samson replied.
Bowen had been letting Alvin constantly make things difficult for him at the company. It was not because he intended to let Alvin get away with everything. Dealing with Alvin was easy for him; the real problem was whether Enrique would approve.
Bowen had been letting Alvinโs actions slide, hoping Alvin would cross the line, so Enrique would be the one to step in and he could avoid a direct confrontation with Alvin as much as possible.
The car soon arrived at the hospital.
As Bowen pushed the door open, he was greeted by Enriqueโs booming voice, โIโm fine, arenโt I? Why canโt I be discharged?โ
โMr. Turner, please donโt give us a hard time. Until all your test results are back, none of us dare let you leave the hospital,โ the nurse replied.
The nurse wondered, โIf something happened after you left, who would we answer to?โ
โWow, Dad, you really have a knack for giving the nurses a hard time,โ Bowen said as he walked in.
When Enrique caught sight of his youngest son, he felt a flicker of guilt. He quickly thought, โDidnโt I tell them not to notify him?โ
He immediately scowled and snapped, โWho told you about this? Or did you have someone spying on me at the estate?โ
โYouโre overthinking it. I donโt have the skills to keep tabs on you. It was the butler who called me. Honestly, I donโt think you need us hovering around. Seeing how much energy you have to scold people, Iโd say youโre doing just fine,โ Bowen replied as he pulled up a chair and sat down. The nurse had already left the room when he arrived.
He handed Enrique a folder that Kelvin had prepared and said, โTake a look.โ
โWhatโs this?โ Enrique asked, looking puzzled as he opened the folder.
He skimmed through the contents, and his expression quickly turned serious.
As he read, he saw detailed records of how Alvin had been targeting Bowen since joining Turner Group, how he had been getting involved with certain shareholders, and trying to oust his uncle.
โIs everything here actually true?โ Enrique asked in a low voice.
Bowen gave a small smile in response, โI just got back from Mistmere. If you ask around at the company, youโll see that Alvin was the one in charge of the Mistmere project. I was just there to keep my girlfriend company. Thatโs all.
โAlvin took this project at the shareholdersโ meeting, saying Bree was our competitor and that I was way too close to her, so he took over the project himself.โ
โWhat nonsense!โ Enrique snapped.
Businessโwise, Bowen owned 30% of Bree Technology, and in private, he and Aubree were dating.
Whichever way you looked at it, Bree Technology and Turner Group were on the same side. Enrique was well aware of the Mistmere redevelopment project. It was a significant undertaking that made sense for both companies to join forces and win together.
