Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 191

Izzy was a bit bummed, “Ethan, how come you never put on any weight?”

“Because I work out every day. You could try getting up early and jogging with me.”

“Nah, I prefer doing some yoga or something at night when I have time. It’s way more relaxing.”

“That works too.” Ethan said with a laugh.

When they were getting ready for bed, Ethan had his arms around her. Izzy started to worry again and couldn’t help but ask, “Ethan, you won’t get sick of me, will you?”

Ethan replied, “Silly, what are you thinking? I feel so comfortable holding you, not like before.”

Izzy responded, “If you want comfort, why don’t you go buy a piece of meat to cuddle with? Wouldn’t that be more comfortable?”

Ethan didn’t say anything and just chuckled lightly in her ear. It was a sound that could make one intoxicated, and Izzy quickly became drowsy.

Ever since Silas had told her about the unusual movements among the directors of the Galeana Group, Izzy knew her day to join the group wouldn’t be too far off. She just didn’t expect it to come this quickly.

Near dawn, Izzy’s phone suddenly rang. Ethan woke up immediately, and Izzy opened her eyes in a flash, saying, “I think that's my phone ringing.” She always kept her phone on when she slept.

Ethan turned on the light, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and said, “It’s Silas.”

Izzy’s heart clenched. Ethan had already answered the call. “Ethan, it’s bad. The news of the chairman’s illness has leaked. It will probably be public by tomorrow morning. This news will definitely cause panic in the stock market. I wonder what Ms. Galeana is thinking now? It’s time for her to join the Galeana Group.” Silas sounded alarmed.

“Who leaked it? Find a way to control this news.” Ethan furrowed his brows. He didn’t really want Izzy to take on the responsibilities of the Galeana Group. It would be tiring. He hoped to postpone this for as long as possible. “Ethan, I’ve been trying to control this news these past few days and also had Mr. Galeana contact the directors who were making unusual movements. The news was under control, but someone took a photo of the chairman receiving treatment in A City. By the time I found out, it was too late. The news will be public soon.”

Izzy saw that it was already past five in the morning. It was indeed too late. The newspapers must have already been printed.

Ethan put the call on speakerphone. Izzy could hear Silas’s voice, and she just nodded at Ethan. Ethan’s eyes flickered, and he told Silas, “Prepare a press conference immediately to announce that Izzy will be acting as chairman. I will take Izzy to the Galeana Group as soon as possible. Try to hold the press conference before the stock market opens to minimize the impact on the Galeana Group’s stock price.”

“What about the relationship between Izzy and Mr. Galeana?” Silas asked cautiously.

Ethan replied, “Do you think we can continue to hide it?”

Silas smiled with relief, “No, there’s no way to hide it anymore. I know what to do now.”

After hanging up, Ethan looked at Izzy’s gloomy face and said with a laugh, “You don’t have to worry about gaining weight anymore. With the Galeana family’s responsibilities on your shoulders, it won’t be so easy.”
