Chapter 279: Chapter 279: He had a car accident

"If Assistant Winters hasn’t found anything wrong with Elizabeth Shaw, then don’t make things difficult for her," a flicker of contemplation crossed Julia Land’s eyes.

James Thompson nodded, "Jasper Winters has checked Elizabeth Shaw’s background, and everything is normal."

"That’s good," Julia smiled, "She indeed seems to be a capable person, as long as there are no issues."

In the evening, James Thompson and Julia Land were discussing the financial issues of Dale Group.

Pointing to the data chart on the computer, he said, "After comparing the current financial statement data with that of the past few years, this fluctuation could indicate a financial problem, though it’s not very obvious."

Julia also frowned and studied the data on the screen seriously, "I’ll have Assistant Scott and Assistant Hughes look into it. The fluctuation doesn’t seem significant, but it still needs further investigation."

She had already asked Tyler Hughes to return to Capital City a couple of days ago to help Michael Scott with company matters.

She looked at the data on the screen.

She was very concerned about the financial fluctuations here.

It was rare for James Thompson to praise someone, "Michael Scott and Tyler Hughes are capable."

Thinking of Tyler Hughes’s little crush on Elizabeth, a faint smile appeared on James Thompson’s lips.

Just then, Julia Land’s phone, placed on the hospital bedside table, rang.

James Thompson stood up, picked up the phone, and handed it to her.

Julia saw the incoming call display, a strange number, but she answered it anyway.

"Julia Land, your uncle has been in a car accident, he wants to see you. You’d better come to the hospital," Maxwell Bell’s hoarse voice came through the phone into Julia’s ears.

Julia’s expression immediately turned grim, "Why was there a car accident?"

"An accidental incident. A bus lost its brakes and hit the car your uncle was in," Maxwell Bell rubbed his throbbing temples, "You’d better come to Capital City First Hospital as soon as possible, if it’s too late..."

He hung up the phone. Whether Julia Land would come back was up to her.

Julia frowned, turning to James Thompson, "Mr. Thompson, I need to return to Capital City tomorrow. Mr. Bell has been in a car accident."

James Thompson clearly disagreed, "You haven’t recovered yourself, and the flight is twenty hours. Sophia, your body won’t be able to handle it."

Julia reached out her hand and grasped James Thompson’s, "It’s fine, I know my own body."

No matter what, even though she didn’t recognize them anymore, she should at least go see Mr. Bell.

James Thompson clasped Julia’s hand in return, "I understand. I’ll make the arrangements now and call."

He arranged for a private jet to make the flight as comfortable as possible.

And he had Jasper Winters arrange the needed medical equipment and nursing staff, just in case.

On the other end of the phone, Jasper Winters affirmed, "Should Miss Hart also return to Capital City?"

James Thompson hummed an affirmation, "Tell her, we leave tomorrow."

**

After receiving the call from Jasper Winters, Sophia Hart knew that she would return to Capital City tomorrow. She hurriedly called Anneliese King that evening.

Once Anneliese King answered,

Sophia Hart said directly, "Can you find a way to temporarily call Andrew Benson back to Orly? Give me half a month’s time."

Anneliese King’s voice on the other end was cold, "I can, I’ll think of something."

After hanging up the phone, Anneliese King frowned.

Elise Morgan asked with concern, "Auntie King, what’s wrong?"

Anneliese King didn’t hide it from Elise, "Sophia Hart wants me to find a way to call Benjamin back to Orly."

Elise Morgan frowned, "Auntie King, if you do this and Benjamin finds out, he’ll be angry."

Anneliese King huffed coldly, "I’m his mother, he won’t do anything to me even if he’s angry. I just don’t know what excuse to use."

Seeing Anneliese King’s determination, Elise didn’t continue to persuade her.

Anneliese King sat on the hospital bed, continuously pondering various methods in her mind.

She knew that once her son had decided on something, it was very hard to change his mind.

"Elise, what reason do you think we could use to call Benjamin back to Orly?" Anneliese King asked with knitted brows.

Elise could not come up with suggestions and shook her head, "Auntie King, I can’t think of a way. Benjamin will quickly realize it’s a lie."

The only method Anneliese King could think of was having a health issue herself, but such a thing required cooperation from a doctor.

However, she could...

Anneliese King thought of a plan, "Elise, later I’ll pretend to faint, you have to act a bit more anxious, so that even if the doctor can’t find any problem, I can insist that I don’t know why I passed out."

＊

The next morning, Andrew Benson received a call from Elise Morgan, telling him that his mother had suddenly fainted.

He was supposed to go with Sophia Hart and the others to Capital City today, but now he had to change his plans.

"Lavinia, my mother suddenly fainted, I’m going to go back to Orly first, next time I go to Capital City I’ll take you to Orly."

When Sophia Hart heard Andrew Benson say this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and pretended to be anxious, "Go ahead."

Andrew Benson lifted Sophia Hart’s chin gently, "Wait obediently for me to come pick you up, okay?"

Sophia Hart nodded, "Mm-hmm."

After Andrew Benson left, Sophia Hart went to the airport alone to wait for James Thompson and Julia Land.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Julia Land, [Sister Julia, I’m already at the airport, let me know when you guys arrive.]

Not long after, James Thompson and Julia Land also arrived at the airport.

The plane took off, bringing them to Capital City.

**

Inside Capital City First Hospital.

Ava King was supporting Madame Bell, who was crying very mournfully.

Connor Bell had been in a car accident, and Madame Bell’s relatives rushed over from Sea Pearl City.

"I’m sorry, we did everything we could," the doctor said solemnly as he and the nurses left the ward.

Connor Bell had passed away.

Maxwell Bell walked out of the ward, his eyes slightly red, as he made a phone call to arrange the funeral.

Julia Land landed and went straight to the hospital. On the way, she called Maxwell Bell to ask for the room number, and then she learned that Connor had passed.

James Thompson stayed by Julia Land’s side. He really wasn’t at ease letting her, who hadn’t fully recovered, go back to Capital City, so he followed her back home.

After she hung up the phone, her face was stricken with sadness, "Little Pear, has something happened?"

Julia Land pursed her lips, "Yes, Mr. Bell has passed."

James Thompson held her hand, offering her support.

The two of them traveled to the hospital in silence.

Inside the hospital ward.

Ava King helped Madame Bell sit down, consoling her, "Lyra, you need to take care of your own health."

Madame Bell’s older brother, Chase Gunn, also worried that his little sister’s heart might not be able to take the strain, he frowned and told her to look after herself, "Where’s Little Pear?"

When Madame Bell heard Chase Gunn mention Julia Land, she suddenly stopped crying.

Her face twisted in an ugly way.

Her heart suddenly filled with hatred, blaming everything on Julia Land.

Yes, it was all because of Julia Land, she had harmed her own father! It was all Julia Land’s tough luck.

Madame Bell’s eyes turned bloodshot, tears streaming uncontrollably, "It’s all her fault! She’s the cause of everything! She shouldn’t have appeared!"

Ava King and Chase Gunn looked at each other, bewildered.

Chase Gunn even thought that Connor Bell’s accident was not truly an accident, but deliberate, and he asked in a serious tone, "Who is she?"

Just then, Julia Land and James Thompson hurried into the ward.

The moment Madame Bell saw Julia Land, she stood up fiercely, pointing at Julia, her voice trembling, "It’s all because of you! You are too lucky, you harmed your own daughter, and now you’ve harmed your father, why didn’t you die out there, what are you doing coming back here!"

Chase Gunn and his wife were instantly stunned.

And Julia Land was left speechless by Madame Bell’s unexpected accusation.

James Thompson stood by Julia Land’s side, ready to protect her from Madame Bell’s anger.

His gaze was cold and vigilant, and one hand was gently resting on Julia’s shoulder.

Chase Gunn furrowed his brow and stepped forward, trying to calm Madame Bell’s anger, "Lyra, calm down."

Madame Bell glared at Julia Land, her eyes filled with hate, "I don’t want to see her! Make her leave! The further she goes, the better!"
