A Moment in Destiny

Pregnant women tended to sleep a lot, but Leon didn’t know that Ashley was pregnant.

Ashley just got done with her meeting when Leon arrived at the office. Her secretary told her that Leon was here. Ashley said, “I’m tired, tell him that I’m not here!”

“Why are you avoiding me?” Leon pushed the door and walked in.

Ashley was taken aback. She hadn’t seen him in a few days. She noticed that he looked more languish and he didn’t shave his stubble. She looked away and said to her secretary, “Could you leave the room?”

Leon and Ashley were left in the room. Ashley said without even looking at him, “Tell me, what do you need from me, Leon?”

Leon wasn’t used to her cold and indifferent tone of voice. He looked at her and also noticed that she got skinnier. He asked concernedly, “Ashley, are you very busy at the company recently? You seemed like you got skinner.”

“No? I’m just on a diet!” said Ashley wintrily. “Leon, you should leave if you don’t have any business with me! I’m busy!”

William suddenly received a call from Liam, “Will, bad news!”

“What?” said William with a deep voice.

“I received an email just now. It didn’t seem like they were trying to blackmail us as they weren’t asking for money. But if the news gets out it will be bad for the Rowland group, the company might be in trouble! I think someone is purposely creating some bad rumours about the company out there.” Liam moved his mouse, “I just forwarded you the document, take a look at it!”

William opened his laptop and clicked on the email. He frowned deeply upon seeing it, “What is this?”

The document was a manuscript, incidents related to the Rowland group were written in detail on it.

“It is found out that the Rowland Group was only successful today because John Rowland became rich through smuggling, tax evasion and speculation. A few days ago, the chairman of the Rowland Group, John Rowland, retired and handed over the company to his son, William Rowland. They are doing legal businesses right now but they should still be charged for their crime back then. Stay tuned if you want to find out more!”

The paragraph was written on the document!

This news was not out yet, but the Rowland Group would be in crisis if this were to get out.

Not only their stock would drop, but the whole group would also be in hot water. It didn’t matter that the news was a baseless rumour and just plain slandering. Any bad rumours could instantly bring down the Rowland Group.

“I see the picture now! Trace and investigate where this piece of news came from. I’ll go back tomorrow. Make sure to hold the media back and find out who the culprit is within 24 hours,” said William calmly. “Also, don’t let my father know about it! His heart isn’t doing very well recently.”

“Understood” Liam nodded.

In G City.

“Peter, have another drink!” said Darcy as she winked seductively. She held the glass high and talked flirtatiously. She snuggled against his chest, she had a light and translucent pyjamas on which was vaguely covering her soft and nice body. She was sexy.

Peter leaned on the soft couch and answered with a hum. He took the glass of alcohol from her hand and chugged it. He had a shady and dark look in his eyes.

At this moment, his phone rang.

Peter pushed Darcy away and his eyes turned stern. He said in a frigid tone of voice, “Hey, dear Ms. Rhodes. Why is it not out yet?”
