Chapitre 272: Chapter 271: Almost

"Mr. Leaford, this call..."

"It's from Zoey." James Leaford managed to choke out a few words.

Zoey calling him at this moment surely meant that she wanted to persuade him to change his mind. If Mr. Jenkins hadn't intervened, he might have rejected the thought of unifying with the Jenkins family after calming down. But now that Mr. Jenkins had stepped in so decisively, he no longer had a reason to refuse.

He could not pick up this call from Zoey, and he dared not.

As a grown man, the father of two daughters, he had never felt so impotent.

Thinking of his daughter going to marry that fool, James Leaford could no longer hold his tears back and burst into tears in public.

Looking at James Leaford, who was no longer able to maintain his dignity and was weeping inconsolably, all the shareholders in the room averted their eyes in silence. Those with strong empathy also had their eyes reddening in secret.
