Chapter 366 Harry Ziegler
“I know,” Layla said. “But he cares about you. He would listen to anything you say.”
Yuliana smiled.
She did not know where Layla got the confidence that Christopher would listen to her.
“Ms. Solace, I think you may have a misunderstanding. Christopher and I…” She hesitated for a while and frowned slightly before continuing. “Three years ago, when we divorced, we have already cut ties. I don’t want to have too much to do with him, except for anything related to Rowan. Sorry, I can’t help you!”
“Fine. Let’s talk about Roe then!” Layla’s eyes suddenly became stern. “Christopher is Rowan’s father. Even if Rowan doesn’t know it now, he will definitely find out when he grows up. I’m sure you don’t want Roe to lose his father at a young age, or Christopher to go to prison again, right?”
Yuliana was slightly stunned. She felt that Layla’s words were a little strange.
Seeing Yuliana was finally concerned about Christopher’s matter, Layla continued, “Do you know what Christopher has been doing after he was released?”
“Esports club,” Yuliana said.
Last time, at Elaine’s house, Christopher said it himself.
“It’s just a cover!” Layla sneered, looked out of the window, and tightened her fingers holding the glass. “He’s working with Mr. Hatfield now.”
“Mr. Hatfield?” Yuliana was surprised.
She had never heard of Yahir until she joined Glory Corporation.
Rumors said that he served the rich and powerful people. He was a powerful figure in the underworld circle
and among the government officials in Juxshire. In recent years, he had even expanded his business greatly to Southeast Aploth.
Yuliana had never seen that person before, but she had heard many people mention his name.
“Is there a problem with Mr. Hatfield?” Yuliana asked.
It was inevitable that there would be some shady areas in business, even illegal ones. Just like Wesley’s work, it might not be completely legal as well.
As the saying goes, “One should not demand absolute purity.”
Since the death of Damian, Yuliana had changed her perspective on those things a lot.
Layla was also a person who had experienced all kinds of things. Logically speaking, she should understand that better than Yuliana.
Layla was gazing straight at Yuliana’s face, and she said, “He’s doing life-threatening business. Do you think there are any problems with him?”
In fact, as early as four or five years ago, Kendrick knew what Yahir was doing, so he never dealt with Yahir. Any prestigious families in Juxshire would also never have too much interaction with Yahir.
Those who had cooperated with Yahir were all threatened by Yahir.
Yuliana did not understand why Christopher would get himself involved with Yahir.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
When Christopher was still in prison back then, he was already dealing with Yahir, and she tried to advise him a few times.
However, Christopher was still in prison at that time, and his movement was limited. So, she did not worry too much about that problem.
Little did she expect that Christopher would directly work with Yahir as soon as he got out of prison.
Even the capital of the esports club was paid for by Yahir.
“Life-threatening business.” The words flashed across Yuliana’s mind quickly, and her expression changed instantly. She retorted, “No way. He won’t do things like that.”
Although they had already divorced, Yuliana still could not bring herself to believe that Christopher would
commit crimes.
“I don’t believe it either!” Layla sighed. “But that’s Christopher in the past. Now, the Solace residence and Solace Corporation are gone, and Kendrick’s whereabouts remain unknown. He has been in prison for three years. When he was released from prison, I picked him up, but I almost couldn’t recognize him.”
In fact, during those few years when Christopher was in prison, she visited him almost once a month. Despite seeing his changes gradually over time, she still felt somewhat strange when she saw him come out of that door.
“I want him to help me restore Solace Corporation, but he never agrees.” Layla’s eyes darkened. “In fact, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come to help me. I can deal with Solace Corporation alone now. I
just don’t want him to work with Mr. Hatfield anymore. Yuliana, please help me to advise him. I really don’t know who else to go to.”
Kendrick had been missing for so many years, and even his body was not found. Layla had no hope about it
anymore.
Christopher was her only younger brother. She could not afford to lose him anymore.
Layla was wearing a black suit today. She was 34 years old this year. Though Layla was neither young nor old, her face was obviously looking more tired compared with most women at that age.
Solace Corporation had been divided. After being divided, Layla only received a little in her hands. In the past. two years, she had been suppressed by her former enemies or peers in the same industry. It could be said that Layla must have made great efforts to achieve the current results.
Looking at her state, Yuliana could not say anything to turn her down again.
Layla had always been nice to her.
Yuliana pursed her lower lips. “I can give it a try, but I can’t guarantee that I can succeed.”
Hearing that, Layla immediately showed a smile on her face. “Okay, I’m glad to have your word. No matter what the result is, I’m happy enough.”
Nonetheless, Yuliana was not so optimistic.
She did not even know how to tell Christopher about it.
Given her current relationship with Christopher, she had no position to intervene in his affairs at all.
Yuliana chatted with Layla for a while more. Layla asked about Rowan and then mentioned her daughter. Zofia was eight years old and was in primary school. Layla said that Zofia often mentioned Yuliana.
Layla also said that she always wanted to meet Yuliana and Rowan at some time, but Christopher told her not to disturb Yuliana’s life after divorcing her.
At that time, Layla was also too busy with Solace Corporation. She even encountered threats and was afraid of involving Yuliana and her son, so she deliberately alienated herself from Yuliana.
The meeting lasted until 5:30 p.m., followed by the evening party.
The party was also held in the same hotel, but it was changed to a more spacious venue. Compared with the previous meeting venue, it was more casual, and everyone could interact and talk at will.
Yuliana had just finished chatting with an investment banker and planned to find a place to sit down and rest for a while.
After standing for a long time in her high heels, her feet could not bear it anymore.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a familiar face.
Yuliana did not intend to greet the person. Upon seeing her, that person walked straight to her, leaving those around him behind.
“Yuliana.” Harry, who was in a gray suit, stopped in front of her.
Now, the entire Ziegler Group was in the hands of Harry, and he led the development momentum extremely rapidly, almost reaching the top of the pyramid in Juxshire.
However, that also benefited from the catastrophic crisis of the Solace Corporation in the past two years. It could be said that the Ziegler Group climbed up the ladder by stepping on the bones of Solace Corporation.
Yuliana smiled and said politely, “Mr. Ziegler.”
Harry handed Yuliana a glass of wine from a tray the waiter was holding while passing them by. He also took one for himself and said, “It’s been a long time. How have you been?”
