Chapter 341: Chapter 340

Isla looked at Alexander Hodges with questioning eyes, completely stunned, and slowly said, "It’s just that earlier when I got kidnapped, I felt a bit off, but I’m much better now."

"Just better? Could it be that you weren’t pretending on purpose just now?"

Alexander Hodges questioned aggressively.

Isla was at a loss for words and felt very angry, "Alexander, how can you say that about me? I was kidnapped and was already quite anxious, and now I’ve been misunderstood by you, truly."

Edwin Blake spoke up at this moment, "Alexander, apologize."

"No way, I didn’t do anything wrong in this matter. Now I have to go contact people for you, goodbye."

After Alexander finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.

Edwin Blake looked at the disconnected phone, sighed helplessly.

Actually, what Ivy River said earlier was about the same, it was just the last layer of the paper was being pierced.

Isla is a woman with deep scheming.

But he himself is most susceptible to this kind of thing, if only Ivy River could act charmingly with himself.

Perhaps, back then, they might not have divorced.

...

Shenghua Auction House.

Harry Ross stood inside the VIP room, "Bring over your collection items for me to have a look, didn’t President Hodges tell you to bring the best?"

The clerk looked at the row of jadeite in front of him.

He said with difficulty, "This is really the best we currently have in the store, really, I’ve brought them all, I didn’t expect that it was still not to your liking."

"In this vast Riverland City, is there really no one bringing out jadeite!"

Harry Ross couldn’t understand it.

"There is, but whenever they appear, they are quickly bought up and simply can’t stay until now, unless President Hodges specifically notifies us, we might keep one."

Harry Ross: "..."

No need to think, the ones buying these jadeites must be Jonah Wiles.

Or it might be Gale Wiles buying them to please Old Master Wiles, after all, the Wiles Family isn’t short of this little money.

"Go look in the safe, this morning President Hodges told me there was one over here, how about this, I’ll give him a call."

Harry Ross said as he dialed Alexander Hodges’s phone.

The clerk answered the phone nervously.

Finally, he directly said, "Alright, alright, I’ll go get it now, I don’t have the authority to access the safe on that side, I’m going now."

Harry Ross took the call, "President Hodges, thank you, if I don’t do a good job today, I always feel like the CEO would fire me."

"You’re not wrong in feeling that way, besides Harry, I’m telling you, when you return to Seaton, there are definitely livelier things waiting for you, so if you have time today, catch up on sleep."

Alexander Hodges kindly advised.

Harry Ross feeling overwhelmed, "President Hodges, I’m only saying a few sincere words because the CEO isn’t here, sometimes I truly am exhausted!"

"What are you tired of, doesn’t Edwin Blake pay you?"

"Yes he does, but emotional trauma and salary are different, if President Blake could stop constantly threatening to deduct my year-end bonus, I’d be happier."

Harry Ross said this with a pained expression, "This year because of madam, the CEO has threatened me more than once, saying he would deduct my year-end bonus, you have to know, President Hodges, I’m part of the Moonlight Tribe!"

"What’s the concept of the Moonlight Tribe, you don’t understand, ah, after paying off the mortgage every month, I survive with difficulty, only able to save a little each year with the year-end bonus."

Alexander Hodges couldn’t listen any longer, "Are you saying your year-end bonus is just a little bit of money? If you keep saying that, I’ll confront my brother about it."

Harry Ross smiled awkwardly, "Don’t, President Hodges, I’m just a bit angry, so I exaggerated a little."

"Yes, if you didn’t say you were exaggerating a bit, I really would have thought my brother was treating you badly."

Alexander Hodges continued, "In my opinion, my brother is no ordinary Blake Clan CEO, his executive assistant’s salary shouldn’t be just a bit, the year-end bonus should surely start at a million, right?"

"Not a million!"

Harry Ross immediately argued, "Really not, truly not."

"Then you must have a million a year, even if the year-end bonus doesn’t reach the million level, it won’t be too low, I still know my brother, he’s not going to treat you poorly after all these years."

Harry Ross smiled awkwardly, "I hope this year can break through the million mark for the year-end bonus! Last year fell just short, as did the year before, hopefully the CEO will give a bit more this year."

"Looking at the current situation this year, you’re dreaming if you want a million-year-end bonus."

Alexander Hodges chuckled slyly, making Harry Ross very uncomfortable.

As they spoke, the clerk brought over the jadeite.

"President Hodges, this is what’s in your special safe, is this the jadeite Ruyi ornament, it’s the best jadeite in your safe."

Alexander Hodges didn’t open a video, directly said, "Harry, take a picture for me, let me see what it specifically looks like, I remember there are two in the safe."

Harry Ross took the picture, confirmed it, and then went to find Edwin Blake.

Riverland Hospital.

"Harry, give Ivy River a call, see if she’s at the hospital, we need to go."

Harry Ross looked at the hospital room in front of him, a bit speechless, "CEO, can’t we just go see? Why must we ask first?"

"When I tell you to ask, you ask, why so much nonsense, say one more word and you’ll really lose your year-end bonus."

Edwin Blake took a drag of his cigarette, coldly glanced at Harry Ross.

Harry Ross felt helpless but still called Ivy River.

Ivy River received the call just as she was in the ward.

"What are you doing coming here, no need."

Unexpectedly, just as she exited the ward, she saw Edwin Blake and Harry Ross at the end of the corridor.

Harry Ross smiled awkwardly, approached, "Madam, we’re all here, could you please not send us away."

Ivy River glanced at Edwin Blake, annoyed, "If you’re here, just come, why call me."

Edwin Blake stubbornly said, "I didn’t call you, it was Harry who wanted to call you and say something."

Ivy River’s gaze directly focused on Harry Ross.

Harry Ross looked at Ivy River, then looked at Edwin Blake’s cold face.

Hurriedly said, "It was me, madam, I was just worried if Uncle Wiles was sleeping inside, what if we disturbed him."

"Come in."

Ivy River directly moved aside to open the door.

Harry Ross saw this and cautiously said to Edwin Blake, "CEO, let’s go in, you go first, I’ll follow."

Edwin Blake reluctantly went inside.

Harry Ross followed behind, thinking, if you don’t go in, who dares to go in.

This Old Master Wiles is a man who can be angered at the slightest thing.

Sure enough.

At the first sight of Edwin Blake, Jonah Wiles snorted coldly, "Ivy, see the guest out, my ward does not welcome people from the Blake Family."

Gale Wiles was making porridge at the side, "Dad, have some porridge, don’t mind him."

Edwin Blake mustered up the courage inside and stepped forward, "Uncle, hello, I came here on business, heard you’re hospitalized for health, so I came to see you, also to pass on regards from my grandma."

"No need, staying away from me is the best blessing for me."

Jonah Wiles directly refused Edwin Blake’s good intentions.
