Chapter 156 Engagement
Chapter 156 Engagement
Eagle Group.
Bob was dealing with some messy business in the group. Originally, the robots of Eagle Group were
already in the testing stage and had announced that it would go public soon.
However, it had been a month since the release of the news, and they still hadn't made any
movements, which made the outsiders suspicious.
But now that the chip had been stolen, everyone in the technical department fell into a gloomy mood. It
was their painstaking efforts so that everyone could not keep their spirits up. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Their hard work was in vain.
Johny returned to his office. When Bob heard that Johny was back, he immediately went to Johny's
office.
Seeing Johny's depressed expression, Bob knew that there was no good news.
"Bob, tell your people to withdraw. There is no need to continue searching in the city. The person is in
his hands."
Johny's voice was filled with hatred.
"Are you sure Ceres is in Jack's hand?" Bob did not expect Johny's conjecture was correct, "What does
he mean?"
"He made demands."
"What are they?"
"For one thing, he asks me to merge Eagle Group into the Winsor Group. For another, I have to marry
Annie as soon as possible."
Bob looked at Johny in shock. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you agree?"
Johny shook his head, "I only agreed to a demand."
It was Johny and Jack's another game.
"Eagle Group was founded by us. Bill and you are also shareholders. I can't make the decision on my
own."
"Johny, Bill, and I won't have any objections. What we care about is Ceres. I think if she falls into Jack's
hands, she will ... die."
Bob had heard of Jack's ruthlessness from his father's generation.
Whoever he wanted to die would die for sure.
At the time, Johny hoped that Ceres would marry him to confront Jack. So how could Jack give her a
way out?
"She must be still alive."
Johny did not explain anything. He believed that Ceres was still alive.
"I agreed to marry Annie to buy Ceres some time. Jack would do nothing before he achieved his goal.
Bob, it's up to you now."
Johny looked at Bob with certainty.
"What do you need me to do?"
"If I ask my subordinates to investigate, it would no doubt irritate Jack. But he won't notice you.
Nevertheless, you should be careful. Ask some people to search these places."
Johny took out a folder from his drawer and said, "These are all Jack's properties, warehouses,
shopping malls, and hotels. Search these places one by one."
"Are you sure that Jack will hide Ceres in these places? He might hide her somewhere else," Bob said,
holding the folder in his hand.
Johny shook his head, "Jack is a suspicious man. He doesn't trust anyone, so he must hide Ceres in
one of his places. You will find her in one of these places. Remember, you have to investigate in secret.
Don't act rashly."
"I know."
The next day, the news of Johny and Annie's engagement caused a sensation in the city.
One was the king of the Imperial City, the heir of the Winsor family, and the president of both the
Winsor Group and Eagle Group. Another was the descendant of the Augsta nobles. When their photo
was posted by the media, everyone was amazed.
It seemed that they were the incomparable perfect match in the world.
Annie prepared for her engagement ceremony merrily. In Augsta, the engagement ceremony was of
great importance, so the Winsor family did not dare to neglect it.
The grand engagement ceremony was a month later. To Jack's surprise, Johny obediently attended the
engagement ceremony.
However, after the engagement ceremony, Johny immediately went to Jack.
"I've already done what you wanted me to do. Where is Ceres?"
Jack sat in his study and looked at Johny. "Johny, how beautiful, youthful, elegant Annie is! Also, she is
well-bred. Ceres can't compare to Annie no matter in which aspects!"
"Where is Ceres?"
Johny was reluctant to talk nonsense with Jack.
His words infuriated Jack, who threw the cup to the ground. "You have only finished one demand. How
can I send her back to you?"
"Another one is impossible. Eagle Group does not belong to me alone. I do not have the right to merge
it into the Winsor Group. What's more, the chip of our product has been stolen. There is no point to
give it to you."
Johny's words were the truth. Jack had his eyes on the Eagle Group. He knew its reputation had
suffered enormously. Also, the stock price fell.
The new product didn't release on time, and the customers they had long accumulated began to
complain and question their abilities.
Besides, the Cosmos Group had changed its manager. After the new product was launched, it soon
became famous.
Without the support of products, the competitors were increasing day by day. Eagle Group was in a
crisis.
"You ruined a good company for a woman!" Jack roared with dissatisfaction.
"Eagle Group was founded by me. It has nothing to do with you." Johny looked coldly at Jack.
Even if it went bankrupt, it would have nothing to do with Jack.
Jack calmed down. "Well, let's take a step back. I don't want Eagle Group anymore, and you make
Annie pregnant as soon as possible. When Annie gives birth to a child, I will return Ceres to you. At
that time, if you insist her accompany, I won't have any objections."
Johny looked at Jack and suddenly smiled.
"Don't push your luck."
"Is it the attitude you talk to your father?" Jack slammed the table.
Johny laughed even harder, "Are you my father? At best, you are my creator. I am not your son. I am a
product created by you, a product of your so-called combination of excellent genes."
"You..."
"Are you planning to let Annie and I create another product like mine and then continue to polish him,
right?"
"Shut up!"
Jack did not allow Johny to say that, though what he said was the truth.
Johny suddenly sat opposite Jack.
"I ask you one last time. Will you send Ceres back to me?"
