After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 The Mastermind

When Sion's call came in, Aurora was feeling a bit annoyed. The company was already in a state of emergency, and she didn't have time to argue with him.

"What do you want?!" she snapped.

There was a pause before Sion's voice came through, cool and resigned.

"I helped you out of such a big mess, is this how you thank me?"

Aurora took a moment to process what he said. Did that mean he also helped with the media situation?

Her tone softened as she asked, "Did you intercept the news for me?"

Sion couldn't help but chuckle at her intelligence.

"Yes, so how are you going to thank me?"

Aurora took a deep breath; she couldn't figure out why he did all this for her. Suddenly remembering his confession that night at her villa made her cheeks flush red. She shook off those thoughts and said instead, "How much did it cost? I'll have my assistant transfer it to your account. And... thank you."

If it weren't for his help, the news would've caused serious consequences. Crescent Group's stocks would've been affected too. Plus yesterday's incident, which was another favour from him, meant that a 'thank you' wasn't enough.

But Sion didn't seem interested in what she had just said. Instead, he went straight to business, saying, "Never mind about thanking me now. Come with me somewhere and we can talk later."

"Where?"

"You'll know when we get there," Sion replied before hanging up abruptly. It was the first time that Aurora felt strange after being hung up on by someone else. Her curiosity got the better of her as she went down to meet him anyway.

When they got into his car together, Aurora was surprised by what he told her next. She never expected Sion could be so prescient within such a short period. He had already arranged for them to visit another factory which they urgently needed due to project deadlines.

Upon arrival at their destination, Albie greeted them both warmly, which left Aurora wondering if these two could work well together after all. After a discussion with them, she was even more surprised by Sion's choice of a new factory. It turned out to be a subcontractor for a famous foreign company. Now not only was this incident resolved, but their collaboration profits could also significantly increase.

"How was it, Mr Doyle? As you can see, the project proceed as planned, you should be relieved now."

Sion's tone was normal, but there was an underlying sense of provocation.

"Of course." Albie remained composed, "Thanks for your help."

"I helped Aurora. Besides, Mr Doyle fought against the pressure to give us time, you should be thanked instead."

Albie lowered his gaze and suppressed his bitterness, "As Aurora's brother, it's my duty."

Aurora glanced at Sion. She wanted to say something but knew that Sion had helped her just now so she said, "I should thank both of you. You're both my saviours!"

"..."

Sion and Albie exchanged glances with disdain in their eyes.

Two decisive CEOs were acting like children. Aurora sighed inwardly, unwilling to become their pawn.

"Mr Carroll, Albie, I still have much work to do at the office. So I'll take my leave first unless you guys want to stay back for some bonding time?"

Albie looked at her and said while smiling, "You go ahead then. Take care."
