My Mystery Lover novel Chapter 344

William looked at Sophia, who was lying on bed, and had mixed feelings. He wanted to come back and divorce her, and then give his son a proper social status. But now that Sophia was in this state, he could not say anything.

"How long will she last like this?" William asked the doctor. Sophia's face was now pale, without a trace of life. Without knowing that she was alive, people would probably all think she was dead. Even her face, which did not look too bad before, was now unattractive.

"I don't know, maybe a year, maybe a lifetime." The doctor shook his head. No one could give a definite answer based on the current situation.

"Based on surveillance footage, she ingested the poison herself. The poison was for poisoning rats. I didn't expect her to take such drastic measures," Hilary told William what she heard.

William sighed. "Maybe this is fate. She deserved it. It's a pity that my child won't get social status for a long time." William was not very worried about Sophia. He was worried about his new lover and his son.

Hilary could only glance at William. He was her brother, so she did not know what to say. She suddenly felt bad for Sophia.

William did not stay long after he came back. After Jacob became the President of HD Group, he took advantage of his powers to take care of William's issues, so no one mentioned what happened with William anymore.

However, he had become accustomed to staying abroad with no one there looking down on him. He had already transferred his shares to Jacob so Jacob could defeat Richard and become the boss of the HD Group. The agreement at that time required Jacob to take care of William's issues after becoming the President.

When William came back this time, he neither returned to the Carter family's old house nor met with Richard or Cathy. He only met Jacob once and then visited his mother, Addy. Since he could not divorce Sophia, he did not stay any longer.

"Richard, I want to see Allen," Hilary said.

"No, you can't go see him, Hilary, you can leave. You are not welcomed here. Go back to the old house." Richard did not care about Hilary's feelings or reputation in front of his subordinates.

"Richard, how could you do this? Are you doing this to me for the sake of that woman? I'm your sister. Don't you think you are crossing the line?" Hilary cried in the house.

"You know best what you have done. Don't make me talk to you any further. As your older brother, I've let you in, but my children and my wife cannot forgive you. Leave before I change my mind. Get out!" Richard pushed Hilary out.

Hilary ran out crying. She was aggrieved when she left, so she called Allison.

"Allison, where are you? I'm coming to find you."

Jacob's investment project had already begun operations under the strong request of him and his men. It performed well and generated considerable earnings initially.

"Very well. I'm doing this for everyone here. Have the money ready next week, and we'll distribute the shares. I plan on issuing five billion shares this time. We'll keep three billion for ourselves, and I'll sell the rest to the public." Jacob was relieved when he saw everyone finally agreeing with him.

The profits in the past few months have been paid out by him personally from borrowing money. Although he made a bit of money, it was not as high as he said. In order to continue deceiving everyone, he could only borrow money to pay out the earnings.

After several speeches, the shareholders finally agreed, and Jacob was relieved now. He borrowed upon usury for Allison's sake.

The HD Group was now issuing new shares. Richard was already kicked out of the HD Group, so he did not have a share. Some shareholders called Richard, asking him for his thoughts on the issuance of new shares.

At that time, those people all supported Jacob and avoided Richard, but now they still wanted to ask Richard first.

Of course, Richard could only say that there was a risk. He could not directly tell them that it was a scam because if he did, then they would think he was only jealous of Jacob.

"Richard, why do you think Jacob is issuing shares this time?" Lucy asked Richard.

"Why? What other reason could there be? He is having liquidity problems!" Richard looked confident.
