Ch-26
Arthur felt like his head was going to burst at anytime soon! From morning he was in the board meeting. The board members were extremely angry with him! They all thought that Arthur bought the Garcia empire to this stage with his efforts, but they didn't think he was the kind of person who leeches on woman hardwork! All the board members ridiculed him for being useless and for leeching of Esther. And also mocked him for not treating her well! Arthur felt like he was going to die in shame! It's all because of that hateful woman, Esther! Serves her right for being in a vegetative state! It would be better if she died there! Arthur couldn't help but curse her inwardly!
He was the kind of man who wants a woman to die, just because his dirty secrets were exposed! Instead of feeling shame, remorse, and guilt, he only felt hatred towards her! How does he deserve her love!?
"She is still my wife. We were not divorced yet! She would still be my wife after she gets discharged from the hospital! After she gets discharged, she will clear everything about this situation! She will say to herself that all these things are fake! Trust me!" Arthur said.
"We don't care what you would do!? Just solve the things in a week! If not give up your position! There are lots of capable people here, who don't rely on their wives!" Mr. Winderson said angrily!
Mr. Winderson is trying to get his hands on Garcia's empire but h never got the chance! Now he got the chance! How could he leave it! He has to grasp it firmly!
Arthur gritted his teeth and said "Fine!" with that he left the board room!
Arthur couldn't help but feel a bit scared. If the present situation goes on, the Garcia's have to sell their shares or file bankruptcy. In a single night, the Garcia family shares were dropped by twelve percent! And he has yet to get the latest information about their stocks! He called Nicholas and asked him to get the details of latest stock market details.
Nicholas came to him in less than five minutes after his call. After all, Nicholas knew his boss was mean and quick-tempered. He was regretting working under him. Nicholas got the job here when he was in his difficult times. And he got here because of Esther's recommendation. Arthur still doesn't know this fact! He thought he can repay Esther by saying good things to Arthur. But every time he did, he saw nothing but a void in their relationship. He hoped Esther could get a divorce from him. But seeing her persistence he couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Even though Arthur is a bad guy, he has some good qualities. It's such a pity that he couldn't get over his ex! He felt that, just because he couldn't get over his Ex, he has to be this unfair to the woman who came to him, trusting her whole life with him! Since he was so great, he shouldn't have agreed to his parent's arrangement. Nicholas wanted to give some advice to him but he felt it was useless. He did nothing, he just moved forward and handed the file to him.
"How did the shares dropped by twenty point three percent in this short time! Eight point three percent was dropped! How could this happen?" Arthur howled at Nicholas like a feral beast!
Only Nicholas can say that Arthur has good habits! Those are being loyal to the person he promised to except for Esther! But at that moment, his good points are washed away! This is the only thing that Nicholas found good in him!
Arthur returned to his office. He was contacting all the other companies, who called off their deals! But no one picked them! Even if they picked the calls, they were extremely ruthless towards Arthur!
Whenever he spoke to a collaborator, Arthur felt his anger was rising up towards Esther! HE, Arthur, The only Heir of Garcia, The soon to be next King of Garcia's kingdom, was capable! He can do better even without the help of Esther! But every time, why was she reminding him that he was useless without her?!
Why couldn't she die!?
Arthur left the office in his sullen mood and climbed the car with the help of guards! Nicholas who was sitting in the passenger seat saw a piece of news and frowned.
"Lord Garcia, I think you need to see this!" he gave his tablet pc to him to watch the news.
Arthur broke the tablet in his anger.
If this news gets out, then there will be no future for Garcia!
