chapter 344 Car Crash
Joseph kicked Ava away disdainfully before getting out of the car to go home and change his clothes. He ordered Lucas to go to the station alone.
Chloe received a call from the construction site before night fell. Another accident involving a worker had happened. She immediately went there to assess the situation and was fuming with anger after learning what had happened.
“It’s prohibited to use the tower crane on foggy days. It’s just common sense. Accidents happen easily when one can’t see clearly. Don’t you guys know that?”
If it was a minor accident, it would just be a collision, but workers would be in a life- threatening crisis if it was a serious accident.
“This fog wasn’t that severe at first but it suddenly became heavy,” the manager of the construction site said with embarrassment.
“You must put safety before everything.”
“We know, but Aaron wanted to finish things quickly…” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Chloe became suspicious. “Aaron Mitchell?”
“Yes, it was Mr. Aaron.”
“I’ll discuss it with him. Just work as usual.”
Aaron was the investor in this project, and he knew Benjamin. But Chloe did not know much about him. She got Aaron’s contact and called him. He promised to come immediately and asked her to wait at the
site for a bit.
In the meantime, Icarus called her. “Chloe, where are you?”
“I’m handling work.”
“Did something happen at the construction site again?”
She found this hard to handle. “Yeah.”
“I’ll come to you.”
“It’s fine. I can handle it on my own.”
“Of course, I trust your ability. I just want to wait until you finish work.” Icarus sounded like he was teasing her. “I’d like to ask you about how to make things clear for my mother. Our relationship isn’t how she imagines it to be. You know that men aren’t as meticulous as women. I’m sure you won’t turn me down given that this is just a small favor.”
Chloe explained, “Of course not. But you know my family’s condition. I don’t have much experience getting along with elders.”
“It’s fine. See you in a bit.”
Aaron arrived soon enough. He explained that the work had to be completed before the holidays because one could gain great profits in tourism during the summer and winter holidays.
Chloe had no way to refute this. “You’re right, but we should put earning money second in the face of safety. As long as we plan it well and promote it, I’m sure people will come.”
“You must not know that Exotic Star and Fairlight have worked together to establish a resort. It’ll be completed at the same time as ours. Their resort is superior and nicer. In comparison, who’d come to a
remote place like ours?”
When Chloe heard of Fairlight, she thought of Joseph. She said seriously, “Not everyone can afford to go to a high-end resort. We have our advantages. I’ll make a proposal suitable for us. As for the construction, it has to be carried out according to our original plan. That’s final.”
Although Aaron felt indignant, he said nothing more.
When Icarus arrived, Chloe had just finished her negotiation with Aaron and left the site. She sat in the front passenger seat before Icarus handed her a bottle of soda. “Was it easy to handle? Let me know if you need my help.”
“It’s fine. I can handle it.”
“That’s good.”
Chloe went straight to the point. “I think you don’t need any skills with Mrs. Regina. Just keep calm and sit down with each other to talk it out. Tell her your thoughts. That will do. I’m sure she won’t make things too difficult for her son.”
Icarus smiled gently. “Is that so?”
“Yes, be more patient with your family.” After a pause, Chloe suggested a few tricks to make one’s elders happy.
Icarus agreed with her suggestions. “Okay, I’ll go with what you said.”
After he said that, a car behind them hit their car as if out of control. Chloe heard a bang before a great shock enveloped her body and she blacked out.
