Chapter 242 Drawing a Bath for the Wife
"Indeed," Spencer said, "but it's a pity."
After a pause, he added, "Because of an accident."
And seemingly also because of the child's incident.
Marriage shattered.
Spencer happened to overhear his grandmother and mother talking about the past.
His grandmother was deeply regretful.
Kendrick furrowed his eyebrows and finally understood.
"Besides that?" Kendrick asked again, "Anything else?"
"All of this is from overhearing my grandmother and mom chatting," he said. "I'm not the kind of guy who'd gossip with them when they're picking vegetables!"
Kendrick was left speechless.
Why did he feel like Spencer was subtly mocking him?
"Why are you suddenly so interested?" Spencer wondered.
When he mentioned it before, Kendrick didn't even want to listen a word.
"Nothing," Kendrick said. "It's out of the most sincere and genuine concern for President Williamson, you know."
Spencer was the one being left speechless this time.
This morning, Kendrick received news that the proposal subsidized by Ramsey Biomedicine was signed by Ryland and passed.
In addition, Ramsey Technology was also about to receive various benefits and subsidies.
As a reward, Kendrick specifically established a charity foundation, allocating nearly 300 million dollars for social welfare improvement.
Perhaps due to his own experiences, his concern for vulnerable groups surpassed that of Seth.
Under his strong influence, the board approved a series of charitable fund expenditures.
This move significantly eased the relationship with Ryland.
Compared to Seth's firm and static tactics, Kendrick, the new heir, employed more flexible and versatile methods.
"Alright." Spencer rubbed his nose as he said, "I'll go back and inquire about this matter."
Kendrick signaled that he could leave, then added, "You should accept the concern of your elders, and there's nothing wrong with wearing warm pants, you know."
Spencer, dressed in thin black casual pants, displayed a confused expression on his face.
...
After being suspended from her position, Caitlin faced a difficult time.
The information about her secretly-operating company was all sent to Ryland's desk via letters.
If Ryland didn't handle it, once the National Procuratorate discovered during the investigation, it would undoubtedly have an impact on his reputation.
Soon, the assets of this company would be all frozen.
Naturally, Kendrick wouldn't let her off so easily.
He secretly had people investigate Caitlin's secret source of funds.
He was obedient, gentle, and well-behaved only in front of one person.
When dealing with others, one could only describe him as ruthless and cold.
When Brock entered, he was facing away, gazing out of the floor-to-ceiling window.
This was the top floor of Ramsey Group.
From here, one could enjoy the night view of the entire Goldburg.
Standing on top and overlooking the world.
Kendrick turned around and asked, "Is everything handled?"
"It's all taken care of. The recordings are deleted, and the hush money for the on-site witnesses has been paid in full."
"Good."
She reprimanded people, and he had to handle the aftermath to ensure nobody would threaten her in the future.
Kendrick tapped his fingers on the desk and said, "Melvin can't stay in the country."
He also couldn't enter developed areas like Audale, North Faymany, or Austly.
Last time, he went to Melpool, using multiple passports to enter directly from Meanford.
This time, where to send him?
For now, there was no business in Owtred.
How about South Faymany?
At the end of last year, under Kendrick's leadership, Ramsey Group spent 1.1 million dollars to acquire all the shares of a lithium mining company in South Faymany.
Lithium was a strategic mineral for new energy, especially with the increasing demand for lithium batteries in new energy electric vehicles.
"But. I've noticed something." Brock continued, "Cookie's online frequency perfectly matches yours. When you're silent, he's silent."
Kendrick was speechless. He tapped the table and said, "This person is definitely from Hamgrad, probably between 18 to 22 years old."
Brock could judge this age range from Cookie's behavior, word usage, and habits.
Below 18, there was a parental buff.
One might not be able to freely play around on the internet.
Or perhaps, Cookie might drop out of school early.
Currently, it was impossible to determine if Cookie was within the borders of Hamgrad.
Usually, Cookie posted around noon.
Not sure if Cookie intentionally concealed his time zone.
(It was possible Cookie was a part-time worker, only having time to post during lunch break, with the rest of the time being exploited and oppressed.)
"Then let's broaden the scope, males aged 15-25, familiar with the computer field," Brock maximized the principles of social engineering, starting a nationwide search for people with relevant backgrounds.
Kendrick nodded.
Even though Cookie was annoying, he hadn't committed any heinous crimes. Kendrick would teach the kid how to behave when the time comes.
...
These days, Natalie was busy with experiments.
The data would only be available in the evening.
At six, she messaged Kendrick, asking him not to touch the water tonight and wait for her to return.
Baron wasn't feeling well and went back to his hometown.
Natalie was worried Kendrick couldn't take good care of himself.
Kendrick replied with a simple 'okay'.
He then cleaned himself up and prepared the bathwater for Natalie.
Even though he enjoyed clinging to her and having her care for him, he knew it was just some small games between lovers, and it was essential to maintain balance in the relationship. Overindulgence would only tire both parties.
So, when Natalie returned, the first thing she heard from Kendrick was, "I've prepared the water for you."
After saying this, Kendrick suddenly felt he was drifting further away from the path of being a sugar baby.
But helping his wife with bathwater was just a basic prerequisite, right?
"I'll help you bathe," he then added.
