Chapter 80 80
"I'm sorry I kept that secret all these years. I just couldn't bring myself to submit it. I...."
"We'll talk about that later." Louisa cut him off and sighed slowly.
After the documentation and signing of papers, the five of them waited in front of the theatre, waiting for the ongoing surgery to change to completed. It was taking a lot of time.
An assistant suddenly rushed out of the theatre and Liam stood up to his feet immediately. She ran past him and almost immediately appeared back with some bags of blood.
"What is going on?" Liam grabbed the woman roughly. She glanced at his hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm just-"
"Is any of you O+ here? We need blood." Sh asked immediately.
"Me." Liam immediately replied and she pulled him away.
"Why is there no AB blood group in the bank!?" While they collected his blood, the woman screamed on the phone.
"It's not available right now, then you get the O+. How many times do we have to tell you guys that for it to stick into you head. Are you daft?" She shot as she placed the receiving tab and immediately came up to check on him.
"We can't collect too much. While she uses the one I got for her, we'd know if there is still need."
"Is anything wrong with her?" Liam managed to finally ask.
"Mr Jordans. Your wife is severely injured. She has an injury on her brain and one of her organs are ruptured. Her legs bones are also broken, walking again would take some time. We just need to pray that she makes it, it's the miracle we all need. But rest assured, we won't let Mrs Chapman die." The woman said and disconnected from his arms before leaving the room.
"It's over." Louisa muttered after waiting for two whole hours. Liam got up immediately as the door opened and they rolled Alexa out of the theatre.
"Is she....is she fine now?" His voice broke. He didn't know whether to be excited or not, just yet.
"The surgery was successful. But we can't say anything for sure now. We would have to monitor her progress for now... hopefully if she progresses." The doctor said and Liam placed his head in his hands, a breath escaping from his lips.
"Thank you. Thank you.... so much." He muttered.
"Thank you, doc." Louisa said, thankfully.
"You are welcome. You can come check up on her one by one, she doesn't need stress right now." He said and walked away. Doreen quickly followed after him.
"What about the man who drove the cab and the truck?" She asked. He stopped.
"I'm sorry but I didn't know about the driver of the cab. As for the man in the truck, he was no where to be found. I guess the police are still looking for him right now, you should work with them." The doctor said.
"Thank you," Doreen said resignatedly and he walked away. If it was a planned work, then it was obvious she'd never find the culprit through the police. She needed information.
And there was only one way she could get that right now.
She sat in front of the woman, her heart palpitating in her chest as she stared at her. Poised, seated with grace. To Alexa, this woman was nothing but to Doreen, this woman seemed to have all the power right now.
"I need information." Doreen said without mincing words. Adele mixed her coffee slowly, a smile of amusement on her face.
"What do you need it for?" She asked, "and what do I get in exchange for this. Besides, I don't talk to secretaries about my business. How could Velvet Vixen...."
"We are not just any business. We are Velvet Vixen. You can rest assured that this secretary is different from the others." Doreen interrupted.
"What's different about you? Even if you are smart, all other secretaries are all smart. You possess the good qualities of secretaries and every other secretary do too, so..." Adele raised her hand, shaking her head.
"I'm not sure any secretary could stick to their boss in bad times the way I would. Alexa would say that I have the worse sense of patriotism in the country. I'm a very loyal." She said and Adele chuckled.
"Fine, loyal Doreen Banks. My designer is running so late, I plan to turn them over in anger, but who would take care of my dress?" Adele wrapped her fingers around the cup.
"Wh....I don't understand." Doreen muttered.
"I'm getting married next week." Adele announced and Doreen's mouth lifted a bit in excitement.
"Congratulations." She said.
"Not that. I want a wedding dress in one week " She said and removed a brown file from her back, dropping it in front of Doreen.
"Everything you need is in here, including my address. It better be exquisite. I don't care whose hands at Velvet Vixen makes it but....make it worthwhile. Thank you." Adele got up and left the place, leaving Doreen sitting down there.
The girl seemed to be shocked and her fingers quavered as she stretched it to pick the flle up, her teeth gritting hardly.
"You are finished." She hissed.
Liam scrolled through the pictures which served as proof of Ryder's interaction with some high members of the government. They usually had a meeting which was arranged once in a month and in one of such meetings, a recorder had been swiftly placed, the audio of all their illegal activities coming to light.
"They are fvcked." Liam scoffed slightly.
"There is also proof of illegal acquirement of shares. That way Velvet and Vixen can he returned to their normal owner." Eugene said.
"Eric, these can make Helix and Co. crash down, can't it?" Liam asked.
"It can. I'll submit it to the most trustworthy prosecutor I can get and they'll search the place. Fortunately, this might just be the big break some people need." Eric said and Liam smirked.
"Lastly, " Eugene presented a picture, "Sam Hills." He muttered and Liam raised a brow.
"He was involved in drug dealing five years ago and seemed to have the love for dark things. He was the one who threatened you about Ms Alexa without a trace." Eugene said and Liam's teeth gritted as he let out a light scoff, squeezing the photo in his hand.
