Chapter 79 Leaderless


    The situation at the construction site had temporarily calmed down, and I didn''t have to go there for now. The most important thing was staying by Jude''s side.


    I just didn''t expect Aiden to show up.


    He asked, "What''s going on? It''s just a minor issue. How could Jude attempt suicide over something like this?


    "How do you know it was suicide? What if he was poisoned?" I narrowed my eyes at him.


    This guy clearly came prepared. Rushing over and trying to frame it as a suicide. He was clearly up to no good.


    Soon, Bodhi and Mireille also arrived in a hurry, both of them criticizing me nonstop.


    "Please leave. Jude needs rest right now. Do you want him to wake up or not?" I stood up and gestured toward the door


    I knew with my small frame I couldn''t really stop anyone, but this was a hospital, plenty of eyes watching. Medical staff were moving in and out of the room, so they wouldn''t dare go too far.


    Aiden looked at me with a pained expression. "Ada, I know you''re grieving, but the Carson family business is in chaos right now. We can''t go on without a leader!"


    “So what? Jude is not dead yet, and you want to take the throne?" I shot him a cold look. I caught that sh of cunning in his eyes, even if it was fleeting.


    At this point, they didn''t seem interested in keeping up appearances anymore. Over the past few years, Aiden had been expanding his own influence, always trying to get projects from Jude.


    But every time he tried to get into the Carson Group''s management, Ewan refused.


    Ewan believed family-runpanies were trouble. If too many family members got involved, everything would spiral out of control. Plus, I hadn''t had a child yet, and that always left him uneasy.


    Even blood brothers would turn against each other for money, let alone this bunch.


    Ewan was indeed wise. Now that Jude had just gotten into an ident, these people swarmed in like vultures.


    Mireille stepped forward, ring at me with hatred.


    She said, "If he hadn''t married you, the Carson family would never be in this mess. Now that Jude''s down, are you trying to take control of Carson Group? You''re not even a Carson!"


    Bodhi was also furious. "Exactly! You''re an outsider!"


    I retorted, "But I''m his legal wife, aren''t I?"


    I spoke without much emotion. "Doesn''t matter what myst name is. I''m his wife, his legal guardian, and co-owner of all marital property."


    Bodhi responded, "As long as Jude isn''t dead, you have no right to manage thepany. Isn''t that so?"


    At this point, their intentions were clearly exposed.


    Just as Bodhi was about to step forward, Ewan burst in with his cane and pushed the door open.


    He asked, "What''s all this noise? The doctors said Jude will wake up soon. What are you all doing here?"


    Once Ewan spoke, no one dared say another word. They all lowered their heads and went quiet.


    He looked directly at me. "You heard about what happened at the construction site?"


    I nod


    Even Aiden knew about it. How could I not?


    "Uncle Ewan, we can''t let her take control of Carson Group. She has ulterior motives." Bodhi rushed to speak, looking


    anxious.


    He continued, "Look at my son Aiden. If it weren''t for him, could Ada alone have handled those people at the site? She''d be scared half to death.


    "Aiden just wants to help his cousin. He doesn''t want our family business to fall into someone else''s hands." "Bullshit!" Ewan struck him with his cane without holding back. "Jude isn''t dead! He''ll wake up soon!"


    Ewan continued, "And Ada is his wife. Not only Sessfully unlocked! pany through marriage, she also holds shares.


    Do any of you?"


    This was something Ewan had been cautious about from the beginning. No matter how much they pestered him, he never let them hold shares.


    Ewan dered, "Enough: Even if Jude doesn''t wake up in the next few days, Ada will take full charge. If there''s anything she

    doesn''t understand, she cane to me. I haven''t lost my mind yet!"


    With Ewan''s firm stance, the others didn''t dare argue. They slinked out of the hospital room in defeat.


    Once they were gone, Ewan finally looked at me. "So what happened?"


    I didn''t hide anything from him and told him everything. I told him about Vivian''s family factory supplying faulty materials, how she hade to our house, and even stolen materials from thepany.


    Ewan was clearly furious. His chest heaved violently a dozen times before he managed to calm down.


    He asked, "So, what''s your n?"


    I thought for a moment. "First, turn all the evidence over to the police. I''ve already arranged for PR to suppress the online buzz. Then I''ll go visit the family of the deceased. We can''t let this spiral out any further. Tomorrow, I''ll return to thepany and hold a consultation."


    Ewan nodded repeatedly. "Good. I''ll assign Veronica to you. She''s capable. If anythinges up, let me know right away."


    I nodded. Despite Veronica''s dislike for me, she was morepetent than any other assistant.


    After everyone left, I finally felt a bit of relief. Jude hadn''t woken up yet, so I left the room to buy a coffee.


    But I didn''t expect the vending machine on the fourth floor to be out of coffee, so I went up to the fifth.


    Suddenly, I heard amotion at the end of the hallway. When I heard that woman''s voice clearly, my eyes widened. It was Bethany.


    I ran over with my coffee, and just as I got close, I heard a girl scream in agony. It


    was followed by the thud of something heavy hitting the ground.
