Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 402:A man of ambition by nature
Hector absently stroked Eloise's hair and said nonchalantly, "It's not because of that nice son-in-law of theirs, Robbie was already an ambitious man.
It's been eating into the Thompson family's estate for some time now, and now the Thompson family is on the verge of being completely incorporated into the Gardner Group." "Haven't Robbie and Agnes always been in love with each other? How can this still be happening." Eloise asked in a daze.
Looking at her naively, Hector couldn't help but pat her on the head, "You think that Robbie is any kind of a light, he's always done whatever it takes to achieve his goals in the business world, and now the Thompson Group is running out of gas."
After hearing what Hector said, Eloise's heart felt a little bad.
Although she had severed her ties with the Thompson family, the Thompson Group was something her mother and Josh had fought for together, and she would be a little upset if it went to Robbie's hands.
But she didn't say anything about it. After all, it was a private matter between the Thompson family and the Gardner family and she had nothing to do with it, so it was better to stay out of it.
They talked for a while before Eloise fell asleep in Hector's arms.
On the other hand, the Thompson family was not so harmonious. Josh was upset by the dislike he had received at the hospital and returned home with a lot of resentment.
As soon as he arrived home, Ela and Agnes gathered around and Ela enquired, "How did it go, did Eloise promise to help us?"
Josh took off his jacket in annoyance and said, "She didn't give a damn and she humiliated me at the hospital, I've lost all my face."
Ela immediately cursed, "Now that she's climbed the ladder, she doesn't care about us, we're her family at least.
Agnes chimed in, "Yes, she thinks she's a good girl, she's a broken shoe and she's still pretending to be noble, I don't know what Hector sees in her."
Josh was already distracted, but when he heard these two people chattering in his ears, Josh was ready to kill.
There was a 'clang' and the sound of breaking glass and Ela and her mother and daughter immediately silenced themselves and looked at the fuming Josh.
"That's enough! If it wasn't for you guys, would Eloise be in this state? It's all because you guys caused me trouble and drove her crazy, and now she won't listen to anyone, is this result satisfactory?!" Josh roared. He pointed at Agnes and said, "And you, you're useless, you can't even keep an eye on a man.
Now Robbie doesn't want to marry you, he's married to the Brower family, and you! There's nothing left! Not only are you useless but you've cost me the Thompson family estate! Losing money!" After a furious yell, Josh threw up his hands and left.
Agnes was so aggravated by Josh's scolding that she cursed in Ela's arms, "Robbie's not going to let this go, I'm going to pay back double for the humiliation I've suffered!"
Ela looked at Agnes with distress and said, "Agnes is such a good girl and that bastard doesn't know how to cherish her, so we have to get back at him.
Agnes, don't worry, as long as Mum is here, we won't let you be wronged."
"It's better Mum, Dad knows how to be mean to me now, I see nah he's just trying to browbeat that bitch Eloise now." Agnes said viciously.
"No, that little bitch Eloise is just like her mother, she's a bitch, she only knows how to seduce men, now we can use her, she's pretending." Ela chimed in.
Ela's mother and daughter looked like they were cut from the same cloth.
On the other side of the hospital, Rupert's back had healed considerably and most of it had scabbed over.
Aisly medicated him and was a little sad to see the shocking wounds, if it wasn't for her he wouldn't have suffered so much.
"I'm sorry..."
Aisly's voice was small, so small that she was the only one who could hear the words.
Rupert heard her murmuring. mumbling, so he spoke up and asked, "What are you saying?"
At the sudden question, Aisly hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes and said in a fumbling voice, "Nothing... nothing, don't move around, it won't be good if you touch the blanket again later." "Oh, what are you wiping your tears for if it's nothing." Rupert bristled.
He had seen Aisly's little gesture earlier and thought to himself that the woman must still be blaming herself.
"I ... got sand in my eyes, can't I just rub them." Aisly said a little uncomfortably after her lie was exposed.
Seeing that she was still talking tough, Rupert turned right around and looked straight at her.
"Yeah, there can be sand in a sterile ward, that's really the first I've heard of it, come on, don't beat yourself up, I'm fine now, I'll get a tattoo on my back later, how cool is that."
Aisly knew he was teasing her, but she still felt sorry for him and couldn't hold back her tears.
When he saw Aisly crying, Rupert panicked and tried to give her some paper, but accidentally touched the wound on his back, causing him to grimace.
Aisly stopped her tears and went up to check his condition and put some ointment on him.
"Are you all right?"
"How can I be? Try this feeling." Rupert said, somewhat uncharacteristically.
Aisly looked down again at that and Rupert stopped him, "Come on, just look after me now and I'll pay you off when I'm out of hospital."
"I don't know if it's just me and this hospital or if I'm just unlucky to meet you." At the end Rupert couldn't help but spit out a comment.
Aisly didn't say anything.
Later in the evening, while Hector went to take care of work, Eloise had nothing better to do than look up the state of the Thompson Group on the Internet and found that the situation was far worse than she had imagined. Some of the Thompson family's oldest employees have been poached by Robbie, and even people close to Josh have jumped ship, leaving the Thompson Group as an empty shell.
Eloise couldn't help but frown at the information on the Internet. This Robbie, who chose to stay with her in the first place, couldn't have done it for the Thompson family's fortune, could he?
A chill ran down Eloise's spine at the thought of that possibility.
If that was the case, then Robbie was very scheming, and it was a good thing she no longer had any contact with him, or she would have been the one to suffer now.
