Chapter 126
Chapter 126 He Didn’t Sleep At All Last Night
Upon opening the contract, it was a hard cover business contract with Mr. Koch’s name, company
name and seal on it.
The location of the land was in Africa, which was a prosperous area and was a small island.
The land had not yet been developed and had a completely beachy pattern. However, if it was
developed as a tourist attraction, it was definitely going to make a lot of money.
Cameron said in astonishment, “I didn’t expect Mr. Koch to be so rich to offer a whole island like this.
No wonder he acted so grand in front of his son and bought him whatever he wanted.”
Shirley frowned and said, “No, the Koch family became rich only due to leather goods and it was only in
the past two years that they earned this little money. It is just a small company that is not even eligible
for listing. For them to seize this area in Africa, the current qualifications of the Koch family are far from
enough.”
Cameron didn’t understand. He raised his head and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Do you know the value of this island?” Shirley looked up at him.
Cameron said, “Could it be that it is expensive?”
“If you spend two three hundred million to buy it, it might make a huge profit. With Koch family’s
qualifications, they can only spend about fifty million at most and this is still an overstatement.”
Although Shirley didn’t pay much attention to people’s lives in the rich social circle, she wasn’t
completely ignorant about it.
As soon as she had seen this piece of land, she had felt something was wrong.
Hold on…
It was Bryan!
Yes, without Bryan’s permission, the Koch family wouldn’t be able to enter the Moore family mansion.
Then, perhaps Bryan used Mr. Koch to cover up this piece of land.
She lowered her head, gently caressed the heads of the two children and said, “Babies, you guys go
ahead. Mommy will go meet him first.”
“Mommy, can we go meet Daddy with you?” Emma immediately grabbed Shirley’s clothes and asked.
Shirley squatted down and said, “Emma, Mommy is going to see if he was able to sleep last night or
not. If he didn’t sleep, I will have to make him sleep for a bit. If you go with me, then he will definitely
not want to sleep and would want to accompany you.”
“She is right! We don’t want to disturb his sleep. We will wait until the next time we can go and play with
him.” Jacob said as he grabbed Emma’s hand.
Emma sulkily let go of Shirley’s clothes and nodded, “Then you should go, Mommy. I will wait for you at
home with Jacob.”
“Okay, I will be back soon. Then I will take you to the supermarket and buy what you like to eat.”
As soon as she heard about food, Emma’s unhappiness dissipated. She clapped her hands and said,
“Okay, okay. Let’s go in, Jacob.”
The two kids walked into the house holding hands.
Shirley sealed the contract again and said, “Cameron, I will go there first. Check this location for me
and see if you can find out something.”
She was afraid that Bryan wouldn’t admit after seeing the contract.
“Okay, leave it to me to deal with.”
Shirley nodded and went to meet Bryan.
Just now, Jordan had received a call from Mr. Koch. He had told Jordan what had happened here and
Jordan had immediately reported it to Bryan.
“Mr. Moore, Dr. Thomas is really kindhearted. The kids were bullied like that but when she confronted
Mr. and Mrs. Koch, she was still calm and even-tempered. And she even discussed it with them for a
full two hours. The three kids were all persuaded to reconcile and they were playing happily in the
yard.” Jordan admired Shirley’s approach very much.
If it was him and it was his child who had been bullied like this, he would have definitely asked the other
party to compensate a lot and would have made them apologize to his child properly before breaking
off all relations with them.
Bryan chuckled, his gaze through the binoculars in his hands continuously fixed towards the opposite
villa, and said, “I can see that. How is the land?”
“Mr. Koch has already passed it on to Dr. Thomas.” Jordan said.
Bryan nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, he saw a white car drive into the garden. Shirley got out
of the car holding something similar to a file in her hand.
Bryan frowned and watched the woman enter indoors. He quickly put away his binoculars, turned to sit
on the sofa and said, “You go out first. If you see Dr. Thomas, tell her that I have been working
continuously in the study since last night. And that I am still busy and have no intention of stopping.”
Jordan’s heart thudded as he gave him with a flabbergasted look, “Dr. Thomas… came here?”
“Yes, don’t waste time. She is already downstairs. Go quickly!” Bryan’s attitude was a little impatient.
After hearing this, Jordan didn’t dare to neglect it anymore. He quickly picked up the file from the table
and exited the study fast.
He exited just in time to see Shirley coming up the stairs.
“Good morning, Dr. Thomas.”
“I guess your boss didn’t go to the company today. How is he now? Did he sleep last night or not?”
When Shirley asked this, Jordan sighed inwardly at Bryan’s incredible foresight.
He frowned, shook his head and said, “Last night, Mr. Moore was reading documents in the study and
he still hasn’t stopped.”
“Still hasn’t stopped?” Shirley was slightly stunned. She had thought that he would get better after a
month of her treatment. She hadn’t expected him to relapse to his original condition as soon as she
stopped being by his side.
“Did he try to fall asleep on his own last night?” Shirley asked again.
Jordan nodded and said with a sigh, “He must have tried. Later, he called me at two o’clock, asking me
to come over and work overtime.”
Shirley raised her hand and rubbed her temple. She said, “Okay, I understand. It must have been
inconvenient for you, Jordan. How about you… get off work now? I will go in and persuade him to rest.”
If she had known earlier that taking a day off would disrupt all her plans, she wouldn’t have listened to
him.
“Okay. If you need anything, do not hesitate to tell me.”
“Okay. Thank you.” Shirley finished speaking, reached out and pushed open the study door.
Sure enough, she saw Bryan sitting at the desk, tapping away at the keyboard with both hands as he
stared at the laptop screen intently. From time to time, he spoke some words into the microphone.
He seemed to be in a meeting with someone.
She closed the door tactfully with a light hand and then stood in front of him, not making a sound.
Bryan looked up at her, immediately turned off the microphone, closed the laptop and then looked at
her again and said, “You came!”
“Yeah.” Shirley nodded gently.
Bryan asked, “How are the children?”
“They are fine. The bully came to apologize today. His attitude was quite good, also brought a piece of
land for the children’s medical expenses and psychological damage. You can help me evaluate the
worth of this piece of land.” Her tone was meaningful.
Then she pulled out the contract and placed it in front of Bryan.
Bryan glanced at it lightly, knowing what the contract was without having to look at it.
However, he still pretended to pick it up and read it carefully. Then he said, “The land in J city is still
quite expensive. If the other party can offer this expensive land as compensation, it proves that they
are sincerely apologizing. So just accept it and it can also serve as a penalty to the other party.”
“Oh!” Shirley frowned and gave a glance, “Help me estimate for how much it can sell. I plan to sell it for
money!”
