Kenny's anxious tone ca through the receiver, and Lilia, who was sitting next to the man, heard the contents clearly.
Economic Investigation Team?!
Then she slightly leaned forward as a trace of suspicion was seen passing through her eyes.
At this mont, compared to Kenny's panic, the man was still calm and steady. The thumb of his left hand gently rubbed the back of Lilia's hand, and his tone was calm when he responded, "Send a corporate attorney and entrust him as an agent to cooperate with the investigation."
Kenny was silent for two seconds before lowering his voice. "Sir, would you like to speak to the mayor on this matter? I'm afraid Oliver has spoken nonsense against us."
This is not his guess. If Oliver isn't talking about his company, why would the mbers of the Economic Investigative Union ask their representative for further investigation?!
The man lowered his eyelids, his eyes fixed on the tips of his shoes. "No, there's no need to bother him with this little thing."
While holding the phone, Kenny opened his mouth, and finally held back his suspicion. After closing the call, he hurriedly contacted the company attorney.
...
Before getting out of the car, Lilia looked sowhat curious about what she'd just heard. "What will the Economic Investigation Team do?"
The man stopped his movents and looked to the side. "They took Oliver and asked him to cooperate with their investigation on the grounds of leaking comrcial secrets. What happened today may have sothing to do with him."
As soon as Jean explained the story and his takes on this matter, Lilia nodded nonchalantly. "Oh, I see. But if Oliver wants to drag you down, it might be a little silly for him."
The man got out of the car in no hurry. Hearing what his wife said, a trace of interest flashed across his eyes. "What do you think?"
While thinking about it, Lilia patted her lips with her nails. "If Galaxy Real Estate reported him, then the only one who can help Oliver now is you."
"If he still can't distinguish the good from the bad, and drags you down, along with Galaxy Real Estate's accountability to him, his fate won't be so good," she added.
If the cri of leaking comrcial secrets is really proven, Oliver will definitely be jailed.
Thinking about this, Lilia's expression went dazed for two seconds, and she let out a soft sigh. "I don't understand why these siblings always end up in prison?"
This made her recall soone from the past—Trisa. It seed that Oliver wouldn't be able to dodge the lawsuit and escape his fate.
The man curled his lips and smiled, then raised his hand to pinch Lilia's chin. The two looked at each other with their gentle gazes. "This is self-inflicted. Let's go and listen to our baby's heartbeat."
Lilia sighed and nodded. She walked from the parking lot to the lobby of the hospital, but after only a few steps, her palms were already sweaty.
She just hoped all this would be worth the joy coming her way soon when she heard the life growing inside her.
Lucas leads the Surabaya Central Hospital. It is said that this private hospital was founded by his older sister and is currently considered the best maternity hospital in Surabaya.
As Lilia continued to breathe deeply, she put on the scarf and buried her cheek in it. Then she lifted her head up to the door of the office on the third floor.
"Young Master Jean, Miss Lilia, this is my older sister, Alia."
Alia is over forty years old. But despite her age, her appearance still makes her look beautiful as she takes pride in taking care of her body. Still, she's specially known for her extraordinary temperant.
She smiled and stood beside Lucas, looking at Lilia and Jean who were walking slowly side by side. "Young Master Jean, Miss Lilia, welco. I am Alia."
"Good morning, it's an honor to et you."
Lilia stepped forward and shook hands with her, her eyes fixed between her brows, and she got a good impression of this new person.
"Co on, let take you to the nutrition departnt first. After that, we'll do an ultrasound. I just heard from Lucas say that your morning sickness has been a bit serious lately, and we happen to have a professional nutritionist to give you so advice on how to ease it."
Lilia nodded and thanked her, then Alia looked at Jean again. "Young master, would you like to join us?"
Before the man spoke, Lucas answered it for him. "Sister, I have sothing to discuss with the young master. We will follow afterwards."
His words made Jean look at him a little, but the man didn't refuse.
After Lilia and Alia entered the nutrition room, Jean looked at Lucas and said, "Is there anything you want to tell ?"
Lucas scratched his head and sighed. "Young Master, once the matter with your wife is resolved, will you be able to take the ti to persuade your brother?"
The man frowned for a mont. "What's wrong with my brother?"
Lucas wagged his nose and held on for two seconds, still covering his mouth. "He had a serious flu so ti ago, but he didn't take it seriously. He just took the dicine casually and didn't let us treat him."
"However, his illness has beco more and more serious lately, and if this continues, I am afraid that it's a symptom of pneumonia. I coaxed him several tis, but he refused to go to the hospital. Before I ca to your house, I already went to your family's house, and I fixed the IV for him at four AM," he added.
Lucas then continued, "His wife took care of him every day, but his symptoms got worse and he had to be taken to the hospital for further treatnt. I beg you to persuade him to co to the hospital because this disease cannot be underestimated."
Listening to his explanation instantly made Jean's face turn grim. He called his sister-in-law a few days ago, but she didn't say that his older brother was sick.
Lucas saw that the man's face looked unpleasant, so he stared at him silently. "Young master, don't tell them that I told you about it. I really can't take it anymore, just ..."
"Alright, wait a minute." The man turned and walked the way he was coming, Lucas stared at him for a few seconds, and then yawned in an unsightly manner.
He's trapped to death!
About ten minutes later, the man ca back.
Lucas was leaning against the wall feeling sleepy, then opened his eyelids when he heard footsteps. "Young master, how's it?"
"You can return ho early. If he hasn't been admitted to the hospital, let know."
Lucas imdiately beca energetic. "No problem!"
Sure enough, young master Jean was the best way to persuade the head of the family.
...
At the sa ti, inside the Widjaya family's main house, Jas sat at the head of the bed in a bad mood with slightly sunken cheeks, coughing twice from ti to ti.
He watched Jimmy and the servants pack their belongings and insisted, "Move faster, what if the hospital's closed?"
His old house happened to be close to the Apollo Hospital, so he planned to go there for treatnt.
Jimmy then glanced at Jas. "Sir, everything has been arranged, don't worry!"
At this ti, Irene ca in from outside the bedroom, and Jas couldn't help but happily confirm again. "Is Lilia really pregnant?"
Irene sighed. "You've asked it eight tis."
Jas furrowed his brows. "You're exaggerating! This also goes for Jean, why didn't he say that Lilia was pregnant?"
Today, the two heads of the family just found out that Lilia is pregnant.
Irene still looked tired, she had been taking care of Jas and she had not rested well for a long ti.
She raised her eyebrows. "Jean called a few days ago, but at that ti, he said only that Lilia had a bad appetite and wanted to eat sour food, so he asked if I could recomnd so food. He didn't tell that Lilia was pregnant. I thought it was just a normal craving and I recomnd an appetizing al."
Jas pursed his lips and coughed. "Slly brat, when I recover, it looks like I have to teach him so lesson again!"
