Chapter 199 - Are You The Father Of The Child?

Adrian and Katherine went to the conference hall. He greeted all the members present over there. Everyone greeted Adrian. 

" I think everyone knows why we are assembled here. Before going to start the discussion, I want to know who is not interested in continuing investing in my company" he asked.

The room was filled with the murmuring of the investors and shareholders. After some time, one of the members in the hall stood up and said, " We don't want to lose by keeping our investment with this company. Just we want our investments back in one month " 

Then one by one people started talking negatively about the incident and the company. Adrian was disappointed after hearing their words. He sat silently looking at them. Mr. Green smiled wickedly staring at Adrian's position.

All of the sudden, Katherine said in a high pitch, " I want to speak on behalf of Mr. Wilson being his wife "

Everyone in the hall looked at her curiously including Mr. Green. Then Mr. Green asked, " What do you want to talk about with us? That too when the CEO of the company was silent!" 

" Mr. Green, first listen to my words then you can ask me further questions," she said confidently.

" We have no problem returning your investments. And also we are glad to know who is loyal to our company in the bad times. We also decided to not continue our relationship with them, `` she said, looking at Mr.Green. 

Then she continued, " Whoever wants to get their investments back, please give your details to one of our staff in the administration. We will return your money in ten days " 

Everyone started looking at each other's faces with confusion. Mr. Green become pale with her statement. He doesn't understand how she could tell them with so much confidence. 

" What if you don't return our money in ten days? " Mr. Green asked.

Adrian smiled at him and replied, " If it happens, I will sell my brands to other companies and return your investments"

After seeing the confidence of Adrian and Katherine, seventy percent of the members were willing to continue with them. Katherine was already prepared with the documents that wanted to take their investments back.

She asked them to go to administration black and sign the documents to get their money. Mr. Green took the documents from the table and studied them in detail.

Meanwhile, the members who wanted to take back their investments walked to the administration block to sign them.

He was startled to read all the clauses which were prepared in the documents. As soon as he studied, he stood up seriously and asked, " It is very unfair. What about our one year's investment returns in this company! "

" Mr. Green ….being a businessman you forgot one important point. In the earlier investment agreement with our company, there are two clauses, if there are any accidents in the company, whatever loss is there it will be equal to the company and shareholders. And the other clause is if the investors don't want to bear the loss then they would get only investment but not the interest or returns when they cancel their investments " Katherine smirked. 

" She is so clever…" he thought in his mind.

"Enough it is a loss for your company …" Mr. Green said and signed the document.

Adrian laughed at his words and walked towards him then he said, " Don't think about my company's loss. We know what we are doing "

" You become stupid in her enchantment. If you return our money then what about the capital for manufacturing your cars! " He questioned him.

" We have our strategies, don't worry about us…" Adrian answered confidently.

" How !! " He asked sarcastically.

" It's none of your business, Mr. Green. I can handle it" Adrian replied with a serious face.

" Shall I guess your strategies! " He looked at Katherine then continued, " By sending your so-called wife for a one night to get the investors for your company, isn't it? I think she is an expert in seducing men", giving a disgusting look at her.

Adrian lost his control and gripped the suit in his fist, " How dare you talk about my wife even though I warned you many times ! ". He was like a raging bull.

Katherine immediately ran towards them and pulled Adrian away from Mr. Green. " Don't stop me. I will kill this person today" Adrian stated.

" Ad….calm down...I will answer his questions in his way," Katherine said in a serious tone. 

She walked towards Mr.Green and said, " You are the one who married your wife for your business growth. Everyone in this city knows why you married your wife. But My husband is not like you who married me for his business investments or business growth. He married me because he loves me with everything in him "

He was stunned to see her boldness. Then she continued, " My husband is a genuine person who thinks about the welfare of his employees but not about his money. Most importantly it is none of your business for you to know how will we return your money to the investors "

" I will see your end. You are the reason for my daughter's misery. Wait and watch, what I will do with you " he said, gritting his teeth and moving closer to her. Instantly, Adrian came in front of her and block Mr. Green to approach them further.

" Before going to curse my wife, go and talk with your daughter. Shedo love lovee me. She was my friend…" Adrian informed him.

" Ohh my god!! What a great story you are telling me now! When you are business at stake you making a new story for my financial help" Mr.Green shouted.

" Mr. Green...whatever Adrian said was the truth. They are friends. We were in love with each other for seven years and also we had a son " Katherine told the truth.

" Son!! " Mr. Green exclaimed.

" Yes. Due to a few reasons, I stayed away from Adrian. He doesn't know where I was and about our son. So he expected to marry Emily. Emily and Adrian were agreed to marry as they had pressure from you and Aunt Maria. When Adrian again met me after a long time, he told the truth to Emily about us. Then we got married " she told all the whole truth.

Mr. Green laughed louder as his laugh echoed in the conference hall. Adrian and Katherine looked at each other with confused faces.

" Now ...I understand why he married you all of the sudden " Mr. Green said looking at her. " You trapped him by telling lies that the child was him. And he believed your words blindly like a stupid man" he laughed again.

" I thought you are a smart and intelligent man. But now I understood you are the biggest fool on the earth." Mr. Green said, looking at Adrian. " Who knows after leaving you, how many men she slept with! And what is the guarantee that the child is yours? " 

Adrian lost the last straw of sanity and slapped Mr. Green hard on his face. " How dare you to talk about my wife! "

She wanted the earth to be open wide and swallow her. She ran out of the conference while crying.

Tears slipped out continuously of her eyes. She faced many problems for the past few years but she stood strong and lead her life for her son. This day, her heart broke into pieces when someone pointed out her fidelity.

"If you take my wife's name from your mouth then I swear that I will kill you with my bare hands" he warned and pushed Mr. Green on the floor.

…..

When Adrian turned his head, he didn't find Katherine in the conference room. He quickly walked out of the room in search of her. But he didn't find her in the corridor then he rushed to his cabin. To his surprise, she was not even in his cabin. His heart was beating abnormally. 

Immediately, he made a call to her to know where she was. Then he heard the ringtone of her mobile in his cabin.

" Dammit….where are you, Kathie !! Even you didn't take your mobile with you! Where should I search for you!! " He muttered.

…..

Just in time, Duke entered the cabin and informed, " Sir...I noticed Mrs. Wilson was going out of the conference room. When I asked about the meeting with all investors, she didn't answer me. She ignored my words and walked away from me with a pale face "

On hearing Duke's words, he fisted his hands and his knuckles turned pale. 

" Sir...is everything okay!! " He asked him worriedly.

Adrian took a long breath and ordered him, " Check all the CCTV footage to know where is she ?" 

…..

A few minutes later, Duke came back to his cabin after checking the CCTV footage and said " Sir….Mrs. Wilson went out driving the car " 

Adrian thought she drove to their home. It almost one hour passed so he thought she might reach their home. 

One of the maids attended the call. " Is Mrs. Wilson at home? " He inquired.

" No sir… madam is not at home, " the maid replied.
