Chapter 424 - Don't Want To See

After a long time, someone from the beverage branch raised their hand and answered.

"Should we develop the old product?"

"How about making a new product instead?" chimed by the other department.

Vincent is nodding his head as he listens to the discussion.

"Is this a solution to our loss?" Another director queried.

"Then why should we make new products?" someone from the upper boss spoke. "Why don't we let them adapt to the products until they are used to it?"

"Is that really the wise solution?" Murmurs arose in the hall.

Vincent attentively listens before he speaks again. Davies Corporation goods are on top of the world. However, they were only appealing to the upper class and least to the middle-class families, which they tried to pursue the consumers from that group of people.

"Competitors would appear suddenly from nowhere. We must quickly have a survey to see our advantages and boost productivity. Both ideas are good. So we must study which product we should apply this solution to…." Vincent's suggestion.

In the next hour, it filled the hall with discussion. The majority agreed with Vincent.

The solution he came up with wouldn't work on all their products. And so, they have to conduct a survey as soon as possible carefully.

Jacob ordered the Production and Marketing team to work with Vincent. They must report to him and discuss making all their products profitably.

The meeting ended. Vincent received compliments almost from the rest of the higher-ups and even the lower officials.

"Vincent was trained to manage Lopez Corporation, so I am not surprised if he can handle Davies Corp.," said Chairman Kingsley to Jacob when they reached the latter's office.

Jacob concurred with Dean's statement. "Frederick and his wife raise their son very well."

It is also his pride that his daughter married a great man, so he is proud to entrust the company to his son-in-law.

"I could retire at peace now."

"Vincent's yacht company succeeded. I heard Martel Boat Builders propose to Vincent a great offer if he invests and collaborates with them. Davidson and Dawson keen that Vincent would design the superyachts they eye for their resorts."

"Pitt reported to me. He had a lot of clients reaching out to him. They wanted Vincent, but he wanted to learn how Davies operates. Not only that, he is monitoring the construction of the La Merveille tower. Also, my daughter's condition is critical now that she is closer to her due."

"A few days ago, she almost had a miscarriage because some people compare Vincent and Liam Huo. You know how my daughter tried to remove Liam from her life. However, that guy has his ways to trouble her, even though Liam is locked up already to the place where he could no longer get out."

"It was great news. Liam is making things hard for me. I have my business in Southeast Asia, but the organization is a thorn. Now, I can breathe."

"Dean, it's not a time to chill." Jacob cast a meaningful stare at Chairman Kingsley. "Liam's men are still wandering freely in our territory. I need to teach these men a lesson."

"I see… If you need my help. I'm just a call away."

"I will tell Vincent."

Dean curled his forehead. "Vincent?"

"He wants to deal with them himself."

Dean nodded his head. "So he is finally joining the association?"

"The Shen is from an Imperial bloodline. His status is in the alliance." Jacob explained.

"Right! He is also from the Royals. His background actually matches yours."

Jacob shook his head.

"I don't mind if Vincent was only from a simple family. As long as his intention to my daughter is genuine. I would never mind letting him marry Hailee."

"Of course. What will make the princess happy…."

Jacob and Dean talked further. After the conference, Vincent had to deal with some documents, so he attended another meeting with the Planning Team. After half an hour, he went to the chairman's office.

"Dad?" He knocked on the door before he pushed it open.

"Come in, Vincent."

"I want to head first, back to the hotel."

"Sure. Take a half-day off and accompany my daughter. She could only take a nap if you were there," said Jacob.

"Okay, dad. Thank you." Vincent was delighted. He may work diligently, but his mind is always wandering and thinking of his wife.

Vincent bid goodbye to Jacob and Chairman Kingsley. When he arrived at the hotel, it confused him to see Pitt, James, and Hailee's nannies lounging outside the presidential suite. There are two long sofas and a long coffee table filled with dishes.

"Why are you guys here?" he asked with extreme curiosity.

The door opened before one of them could answer, and Tina came out. Hailee's assistant was startled when she saw Vincent. Tina lowered her head and avoided meeting his eyes.

"What's going on?" Vincent scrutinizes the people in front of him.

He guessed something had happened when none of them could look him straight into his eyes. Besides, the presidential suite is too huge for all of them. However, they choose to camp outside the suite.

Vincent is impatient to wait for the answer. He strode toward the door, but Pitt quickly blocked his way.

"What is the meaning of this, Pitt? Why are you guys acting strange? You don't even answer my queries."

Pitt sighed. "It's the princess's request. She doesn't want to see anyone for now."

"What? Why?" Vincent felt an extreme frustration in his heart. He doesn't understand why Hailee doesn't want to see anyone. "I am included as well?"

Vincent asked pitifully. Frustration surged in his chest, thinking he could not see his wife. Not long, Doctor Dave exited the door. Behind him is a female doctor, and he recognizes her as Doctor Dave's daughter; however, she is not an obstetrician or a gynecologist but an internal medicine physician.

"What happened to my wife, Doctor Dave?" Vincent rushed to the male doctor, holding his shoulders, and shook him.

Doctor Dave was surprised by Vincent's action.

"Please calm down, Mr. Shen. The princess is alright now. We have already given her a shot to prevent her from having a miscarriage. However, she doesn't want to see anyone, especially men, so I asked my daughter to give her the shot. I already requested a female obstetrician. She will be here any moment."

Vincent dropped his shoulders to his sides, clenching his fists out of frustration. He looked pitiful when he queried, "Why doesn't she want to see, even me?"

Doctor Dave shared a glance with the others in the corridor. He pursed his lips into a smile and consoled Vincent.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I have been in this profession for two decades. I crossed hundreds of patients that they hate to see a particular person, even if the person is their husband."

Vincent even felt helpless hearing this. He asked once again, "How many days will it last?"

He wanted to know if Hailee felt better soon, and finally, he could be with her later.

Doctor Dave rubbed his forehead. He met Vincent's eyes, which expected him to say good news. And so, he was frightened when he told this…

"Mr. Shen, most of the time, it lasted weeks, and the longest time was several months."

Vincent narrowed his eyes. He wanted to dig a pit, but he calmed down immediately and reminded himself that it was no one's fault.

When everyone thought he calmed down completely, he threw a question.

"Why does Hailee show a sign of miscarriage?" he asked coldly.

Vincent believes it was triggered by something. However, no one wanted to answer him, but they lowered their heads.

"Is no one going to tell me what happened!?"

Tina, who was silently standing in the corner, began shuddering after hearing Vincent's booming voice echoing in the hallway. She reached for her left hand, as it didn't stop trembling from fear.

"Mr. Shen, it was my fault!"
