Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Odin Has A Child

Cold sweat broke out on Yehuda’s forehead, “I… I…” The others also lowered their heads nervously, afraid that the next second, Victor’s eyes would fall on them. Yehuda hemmed and hawed for a long time, sweat streaming down from his forehead. The meeting room fell into a weird silence.

“Mr. Sullivan, Yehuda just blurted it out, he didn’t mean it.” Alex glanced at Yehuda’s pale face and stood up, trying to ease the tension. Hearing this, Victor looked at Alex and squinted at him. He didn’t remember who Alex was for a moment.

“Mr. Sullivan, this is Mr. Green, he had worked with your father before. After your father passed away, he seldom attended the board meeting because of his poor health.” Ivan, who stood behind Victor, reminded him.

Poor health? It didn’t look like that he was in poor health. It should be an excuse, Alex just didn’t want to get himself into trouble. “The meeting can begin now.” said Victor, withdrawing his gaze. Hearing this, Yehuda, who was standing still, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Alex gratefully.

But Alex ignored him and sat down, which made him feel embarrassed. He curled his lips and sat down awkwardly. At the beginning of the meeting, Victor came straight to the point and said, “The vice president of the branch company has confirmed with the Embassy that Odin is dead.” Odin was dead.

Victor said these words in a cold and emotionless tone. But it caused a sensation in the board. Although they already heard it from the news, they were still shocked when they heard it from Victor “There will be a press conference the day after tomorrow to officially announce this matter, and a mourning will be held.” Victor continued in an orderly way, “You can put forward your opinions now.” No one dared to say anything.

Yehuda, who had been bold in front of Victor just now, lowered his head and didn’t want Victor to notice him at all. Although Odin was his niece, he thought his own wealth and happiness mattered more. Before this, Maria had promised him that as long as Victor went to Washington, she would take over the Sullivan Group and as long as she did, she would give him a promotion. At first, Yehuda thought that Brian might still be alive.

Besides, Maria said it in a confident tone, he thought she must have had it all planned out. If Victor really did go to Washington, his standing up for Maria and Odin today would bring him a lot of benefits. But now, Odin was dead. He was really dead. No matter how perfect Maria’s plan was, she was just a woman, a woman without her son. How could she win Victor now?

Yehuda was smart enough to figure it out fast. As soon as he figured it out, he knew he should take Victor’s side now. “Mr. Sullivan, I have no objection.” Forty minutes later, the directors, who came aggressively, left the Sullivan Group.

All of a sudden, there was only Victor left in the huge meeting room. After answering a phone call, Ivan returned the meeting room with a serious look on his face. “What’s wrong?” Asked Victor, glancing at him. “There are two things.” Ivan replied, “The first thing is about the child you asked me to investigate this morning, Mr. Sullivan.
