Chapter 42 Delusion
Night wind was roaring freely on the street, echoing in the quiet office of Burke, making the atmosphere
in the room more solemn.
David didn''t respond for a long time.
All of a sudden, Burke mmed the folder in his hand and threw it on the tea table in front of David with
force.
"Do you have something to exin about Hetian Real Estate Project, or should I say it?" With his back
to David, Burke slowly walked back to the floor to ceiling window.
David''s defense in his mind had copsed when he heard the name "Hetian". He picked up the
document on the table with his trembling hands and looked through it. Time passed, as if a few century
had passed, David''s hands holding the document were shaking more intensely.
The items listed on the document left no room for him to argue.
Suddenly, he threw the document back to the coffee table, buried his face in his hands, and burst into
tears.
Without turning his head to look at the bright night scene, Burke just quietly looked out of the window.
He knew that too many people wanted to deal with the Gu Group. As the leader, he might have to
suffer many betrayal and regrets, so he could not be soft hearted.
After a long time, David stopped crying, calmed down and said slowly.
"Mr. Gu, I am sorry for what I have done to the Gu Group. I am really sorry for what I have done. I am
the one who leaked the n of Hetian Real Estate Project."
The ss window reflected the cold face of Burke. He frowned slightly. This was not the answer he
wanted. He wanted to know who was behind this and made the whole thing against him and the Gu
Group.
"Who told you to do this?" Burke asked coldly.
"It..." David shook his head. No matter what, he couldn''t sell out the Yuan Group. Otherwise, he would
be fired by the Gu Group and he had no other choice but to support his family.
"David..." All of a sudden, Burke turned to look at David. "Once this news is released, you have no
foothold in the whole industry. Do you still expect the person behind you to take you in? You are just
rted by benefits. You can''t be of any use to him if you leave the Gu Group."
As Burke spoke, he walked back to his desk. Taking a sip of the coffee, he continued, "As long as you
tell me who is behind all this, I promise you that I''ll take care of it and only solve it in the group without
leaking it out. In this way, your social reputation will not be affected, and there will be a chance for you
to make aeback. As for the Gu Group shares, we will discuss with the board of directors and take
it back. But I will give you a sum of money and promise you that you will be safe in two years. "
David lowered his head and then started to struggle. It was the safest n for him to do so under the
condition that Burke asked for, and the rtionship between him and the Yuan Group was just as what
Burke had said, but they only took advantage of each other. He was like a stray dog, and there was not
a high probability that he would help him......
Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind. Well, there was no better choice now.
"It''s Austin Yuan, the new CEO of the Yuan Group..."
As the night grew darker, in the huge room, Rose was sitting alone on the bed covered with a quilt, but
there was always a chill that made her feel a little uneasy.
"Sophie, Sophie!" She called her name.
"Coming!" Sophie, who was staying in the next room, hurried there.
"Close the window for me." Pointing to the half open window on the south side of the room, Rose
instructed.
"Okay." Sophie walked to the window, gently closed it and closed the curtain.
"Hasn''t Burkee back yet?" She couldn''t help asking.
It was already eleven o''clock in the evening. She had nevere back since Burke answered a call.
Grandma sat here with Rose for a while and went back to rest. Only Rose was looking forward to the
arrival of Burke.
After getting along with each other day and night these two days, she had stealthily looked forward to
the future when she saw the gentle and tender care of Burke. At the moment, she was holding her
injured feet and lying on the bed alone. She had never been so lonely before. She needed him.
"President Gu may be too busy, you''d better go to bed early, mydy." Sophieforted her. She could
see that Rose was extremely upset at the moment.
Rose closed her eyes and nodded weakly to indicate Sophie to leave.
"Mrs. Gu, call me if you need any help." Sophie turned around, walked out of the room and closed the
door gently.
Suddenly, a sense of loneliness and loss surrounded her.
''is he really busy? Was he going to do some intimate things with Amanda?''
It reminded her of the call from Amanda and the love in his eyesst afternoon. Perhaps, Burke was
loving his ''Amy'' all the more gently now. At the thought of this, Rose''s heart throbbed painfully.

''Rose, you shouldn''t have any hope for him.
All tenderness and care might be only misunderstood by yourself.
He doesn''t love you. He only loves Amanda.
Stop dreaming about it!''
Tears rushed out from her eyes and wetted the sheet.
The clock on the wall tapped twelve times. David had already left. Burke sat at his desk alone, burying
his head in the chair, burying himself in thought.
"Austin, the Yuan Group..." He murmured.
The name sounds familiar
He suddenly remembered that day when he was in a frenzied search for Rose, he saw her getting out
of a strange man''s car in front of the Gu''s house. They were talking andughing, and the atmosphere
was very harmonious. The handsome man in the car gave him the business card. And it wrote Austin
Yuan from Yuan Group.
Ah, it was him.
What a small world. The other day, in front of the mansion of Gu, Austin had seen Burke looked at
Rose in a loving way. ''That guy dared to caste greedy eyes on my wife. Now he is even trying to
destroy mypany behind my back.
He could be a big trouble if I leave him so.''
Thinking of the day when Rose had a pleasant conversation with Austin, Burke could not help raging
and secretly clenched his fists.
"Knock, knock, knock..." Someone was knocking at the door.
"Come in."
Mike opened the door and came in with a cup of warm water and a bag of gastric medicine in her hand.
"Mr. Gu, it''ste now. How about going home and having a rest?" Mike put the water and stomach
medicine on his desk and said with concern.
Since Burke became the CEO of the Gu Group, he had been busy with his work. And the irregr diet
and rest gradually left him with stomach trouble.
