Chapter 274: It Was Glad That He Was Back

Orlenna looked at Tom and snorted, “I don’t know what you want to verify?”

Orlenna didn’t hide her sulk. These people had worked for the Anderson Group for a long time. Some were still loyal while some were not.

The Anderson Group gave them wealth and ambition as well.

They wanted to gain more benefit from the Anderson Group. Now Bruce was missing. There was no man in the Anderson family except the two newly born babies.

In the past, although Tyree was old, he was still prestigious. But now, Bruce’s sons were too young.

At this time, there were only Orlenna and Hilla in the Anderson family and Hilla just gave birth and was still having a fever.

Margaret, who was engaged to Julian, lost the right to take charge of the Anderson family.

There was no suitable candidate to take charge of the Anderson family, so the shareholders wanted to take the place.

“The identity of the twins.”

Tom was fat and he said coldly.

Tom’s grandfather, Tom’s father, and Tom all worked for the Anderson Group, so they could be considered as the elders of the Anderson Group.

So, Tom was prestigious.

“Identity? What identity? Aren’t they Bruce’s sons?”

“But there are rumors that Bruce isn’t their father.”

“Be careful with your word, Mr. Black. I don’t want to know what others are talking about. But Mrs. Anderson just gave birth to twins and I have two grandsons. Why do they need to be admitted by others?

“Or do you think that I’m crazy and can’t even figure out if they are my grandsons?” Orlenna looked at the shareholders coldly. All of them were panic except Mr. Black.

Their fathers also worked for the Anderson Group, so they had long depended on the Anderson family.

When the Anderson Group was in trouble, some of them panicked, while some thought of taking the chance to replace the Anderson family.

Orlenna knew that the shareholders would not allow her to take charge of the Anderson Group.

They just wanted to find an excuse to ask Orlenna to step down.

“Don’t be angry, Madam. We don’t mean bad.”

“Yes, Madam. We all know that the Anderson Group has a long history. We are loyal and we do this just for the sake of the company.”

“We know that you are smart, but you know that how people think about us matters.”

“Of course, we don’t believe the rumors. But Mrs. Anderson had rumors before and she and Mr. Anderson married not long ago. Do you think if we need to do a DNA test to verify the identity of the children?”

“Yes. Then the rumors will stop. If we don’t do this, the stock price of the Anderson Group will drop.”

“We can understand that you love the babies and care about Mrs. Anderson. But the media don’t know. Please think more about the Anderson Group!”

Orlenna looked at the shareholders. They persuaded Orlenna one by one to force her to do a DNA test to verify the identity of the babies.

What they wanted was not to ensure the identity of the two babies. Nor did they do it for the Anderson family’s sake. They were just worried that if Hilla and Orlenna took charge of the Anderson family, they would get fewer interests.

“The two babies are Bruce’s sons and they are my grandsons. Why do I need to care about what others say?”

Even if Orlenna agreed to do the DNA test, the shareholders will make another trouble for her.

“Now the Anderson Group works well without Bruce. I know that you are so eager to hold a board meeting because you are concerned about the future of the Anderson Group. But others who don’t know the truth will probably think that maybe the Anderson Group is going to go bankrupt, so they can’t wait to call back all the shareholders to hold a meeting.”

Orlenna’s voice was not loud, but her words were sharp.

Immediately the directors changed their faces and some of them even became nervous.

Orlenna was both reminding and warning them.

She was also threatening them. Most of the shareholders invested all their money in the Anderson Group. If the Anderson Group went bankrupt, they wouldn’t benefit at all.

“Madam, we do this for the Anderson Group. Why are you so angry?”

“Since I know that you are here for the Anderson Group, I have to remind you. You hurried here from different places. I’m afraid that others begin to suspect that there is something wrong with the Anderson Group.

“If tomorrow’s headline was that the Anderson Group is about to go bankrupt and the shareholders are urgently recalled to the headquarters, do you think the stock price will keep stable, Tom?”

“Many people focused on the Anderson Group not because of us, but because Mr. Anderson went missing. And there is no explanation until now. And people suspect the identity of the two babies. It will be good if they belong to the Anderson family. But if they don’t, can we suspect that you are trying to control the Anderson Group in the name of the two babies, Madam?”

“What are you talking about, Tom?”

Orlenna stood up. She flew into a rage. She clenched hands and beat the desk.

The Black family has relied on the Anderson family for three generations. It was clear that Tom wanted to leave the Anderson family.

These shareholders were selfish. Orlenna didn’t care about that in the past. But she didn’t expect them to be so selfish.

“Don’t be so angry, Madam. As long as the identity of the babies is confirmed, we won’t say anything!”

Orlenna thought to herself, “I’m afraid that you’ve already said a lot today.”

Orlenna smiled coldly, “How to verify their identity? Ask Hilla to do a DNA test in the hospital?”

What a joke! If she really did this, not only would it be an insult to Hilla, but it would also be an insult to the Anderson family. There would be more rumors.

Why should her grandsons prove themselves?

“The babies are the children of the Anderson family. There is no need to verify!”

“If Madam insisted, don’t blame us…”

“What do you want to do, Mr. Black?”

Before Tom could finish his words, someone opened the door of the conference room. It was Bruce.

Bruce’s eyes were cold and deep. He looked around at the shareholders and then fixed his eyes on Tom. He said, “It seems that you like my two sons very much. Then we can have a talk.”

…

A heavy silence fell upon the spacious room when the man showed up.

All the directors looked over at the door and finally recognized the man. They stood up at the same time and respectfully said, Mr. Anderson!”

Bruce briefly scanned around them and entered the conference room.

Tom was giving an aggressive speech and fell into incredible surprise as he saw Bruce.

“Bruce, you’re back!”

Bruce’s presence tugged at Orlenna’s heart. She experienced various feelings of surprise, touch, and happiness in an instant. The tears welled up in her eyes.

If she weren’t in front of the directors, Orlenna would have thrown herself into Bruce’s arms and cried wildly.

Orlenna had lost her husband when she was young, and she would be the most unlucky person in the world if she lost her son in the autumn of her life.

His son came back alive! It must be God’s gift.

Orlenna quickly turned around and wiped away the tears on her face.

“Mom, leave this to me.”

“I’m glad that you’re back. I’m so relieved.”

Orlenna’s eyes were red. She nodded hard and grabbed Bruce’s hands tight with her trembling fingers.

“Come home as soon as you finish the job. Hilla and I will wait for you at home.”

Hilla was coma at home due to a fever. Orlenna was overwhelmed with sorrow and guilty as she thought of this.

She did not take good care of Hilla when Bruce was not around.

At this moment, Orlenna knew that she needed to stop catching up. Bruce had to deal with the challenging board affairs in the Anderson Group.

People in the room had come prepared, but they didn’t expect Bruce would return after a few months disappear.

The entire room’s atmosphere suddenly became tense and awkward.

Even the aggressive Tom held his temper and said, “Mr. Anderson, it’s great news for the Anderson Group that you came back.”

Bruce glanced around these people and calmly said, “The Anderson Group’s best news is the birth of two baby boys, isn’t it?

“What did Mr. Black want me to prove? Oh, perhaps I get it wrong. You just said you

wanted my son’s proof.”

Tom froze and suddenly fell silent.

One of the directors at the sides whispered, “The media made waves on Mrs. and Mr. Andersons’ marriage. They have an enduring and stable relationship. We don’t need any proof from the boys.”

Bruce curled his lips and made a creepy smile. “No one has the right to judge my sons!” “Of course, Mr. Anderson.”

The directors felt cold sweat trickling from their foreheads and quickly wiped it away. They wouldn’t come to look for trouble if they had known earlier.

…

In Anderson’s mansion.

Halle had been there with Hilla since she was in the hospital. At this moment, Hilla fell asleep after taking medicine. A nurse was putting a drip for Hilla.

Hilla gave birth to a twin, so she required further observation.

Hilla only stayed in the hospital for three days, a tight schedule for a pregnant woman who had just experienced a C-section.

Luckily, the Anderson family invited a private medical crew, so Hilla got personal care.

Halle was relieved because Horton, the hospital director, was there. Although Hilla had a little fever, she was in stable condition.

Horton took Hilla’s temperature. “The fever is going down!”

Halle put aside her worries after that.

The door banged open when Margaret came in. Halle was annoyed, and when she was going to curse, Margaret ran over and grabbed her hand.

“I-I …Bruce is back!” Margaret panted out the urgent message.

…

Margaret was playing a smartphone game downstairs when Orlenna called her. Margaret thought there was something wrong with her mobile phone as she heard the news, so she confirmed several times, and Orlenna was pissed off and chewed her out.

“See? I told you. My brother is blessed with great fortune. How can he die so quickly? He can still come back alive after going missing for a few months.”

Margaret moved closer to Halle and excitedly said, “I’ve checked. His memory is fine, his arms or legs are fine, and he didn’t have an incurable disease or an affair.

That meant Bruce had come back safe and didn’t bring them any trouble.

Although Margaret was a little disappointed about that, Hilla would be happy, and her nephews would have a father when Bruce was back.

Halle was stunned, and then she thrillingly looked at Hilla in bed.

Hilla slept restlessly in a cold sweat on her forehead as if she was dreaming something horrible. Perhaps she could hear their conversation.

Halle was nervous, and she quickly stopped Margaret.

Halle wiped the sweat off Hilla’s forehead, tearing up a little. She looked at Hilla’s pale face, pursed her lips, and gently smiled.

<It’s glad that he comes back alive. Hilla almost recovers.

Nothing would be better than a family reunion,> she thought.

“Did Hilla still have a fever?”

Margaret whispered to Halle and looked at Hilla with concern.

“Bruce is finally back, but Hilla has a prolonged fever due to the injury made in the press conference,” Margaret thought.

Halle’s voice became much gentler. “She will be fine. Bruce is back, and I think she will wake up soon.”

Margaret nodded hard. “My brother went to the company as soon as he came back. He’ll be home in a while.”

“It would be better if Bruce didn’t see Hilla at this time. Otherwise, he’ll be sad.

Why did they have to torture each other?” Margaret shook her head and sighed.

“It’s better to live a simple life like me. If Julian catches a high fever, I won’t be sad or depressed. I will let him sick and die, and then I can inherit a large fortune that I can’t spend up the rest of my life,” she thought.

Hilla had a dream. She fell into an illusion made of glasses and filled with white lights in her dream.

She couldn’t see everything around her. Only some vague noises ring near her ears. She vaguely heard that someone said Bruce was back. “Was he back? Really?”

Hilla hurriedly ran to the light. In the next second, she tried her best to open her eyes.

The chandelier above gave a soft glow. Hilla saw a tall figure standing by her bedside and blocked her eyesight.

The familiar face in front of her showed up in her dream many times.

She looked at the man and heard his gentle voice. “I’m back!”

The tears welled up in her eyes unexpectedly.

She got up with all her strength and threw herself into the man’s arms.

At this moment, Hilla knew it wasn’t a dream when she sensed Bruce’s warmth and familiar smell. The person she had been waiting for had returned!

“It’s glad that he was back!” Hilla thought.

Bruce was back, and it was his show time.
