CHAPTER 449

Chapter 449 How Sly Declan Is!

Ingrid couldn’t figure out why she had lost to such a person. She had originally

thought that everything was under her control and

that it would be easy for her to do so. She thought Declan was the only variable,

but she didn’t expect Ladarius to betray her.

Sitting on the side of the table, Hannah suddenly seemed to have aged more

than ten years, and grey hair emerged on her head.

“Ingrid…” Hannah’s eyes were red and her eyelids were swollen. She had never

been so haggard before.“Are you happy to see me in this state?” Ingrid smiled as her dry lips parted.

“Your precious son can bring you to enjoy a happy life. You will have to rely on

him for the rest of your life. You are the same as my father. In your opinion,

Ladarius is the most important. Since that’s the case, why do you have to give

birth to me?”

Ingrid sneered and said, “Sure enough, I was stupid. I was naive to think you

were really helping me. But in the end…”

“Ingrid, that’s not it. I never knew that Ladarius wanted to replace you. He even

kept me in the dark. Ingrid, please believe me!” Hannah said anxiously. She was

very sad about the fact that Ingrid felt disappointed in her.

Hannah didn’t mind whether it was Ingrid or Ladarius who could obtain the

Petersen Group. Both Ingrid and Ladarius were her children. No matter what,

Hannah did not want Ingrid and Ladarius to hurt each other.

Moreover, Hannah was afraid that Ingrid would attack Ladarius after getting

everything, but she did not expect that there would be such a reversal.

“That’s enough!” Raising her voice, Ingrid raised her head and said, “Cut out

your banana oil. Keep it for your precious son to listen to! I’m your abandoned

child. I’m useless. Don’t act in front of me anymore.

“Keep your tears and act facing your precious son, my movie queen!” Ingrid said

impatiently.

“Ingrid, how can you say that? I really have never…” Before she finished

speaking, Hannah saw that Ingrid was already getting up to leave.

“Ingrid, Ingrid, I will find a way to save you! Abel. I will find Abel. He must have a

way to save you!” Hannah thought that with the current situation, only Abel

could save Ingrid.Abel had just been engaged to Ingrid, and he should save his fiancée.

Ingrid paused in her steps. When she heard this name, she showed a mocking

smile. She slowly turned around and said, “Hannah, please don’t be so naïve!

Don’t you know what kind of family the Halpert family is and what kind of person

Abel is? Don’t waste your time!”

“No! He will definitely save you. Otherwise, he can’t handle public opinion.”

“Forget it. Just before you came, he had already come here. He said that he

would not interfere in this matter. Our relationship was all about interest. Now

that something has happened to me, he is eager to cut all relations with me. As

long as he is not involved, he won’t care about me.”

“How… How could this be?” Hannah was so shocked that she could not speak,

but she vaguely recognized this possibility in her mind.

After being in a rich and powerful family for so long, Hannah experienced a lot.

But when things happened to her, she longed for a trace of true feelings. At

least, she wanted to see some sincere feelings in times of trouble that could

save her from despair.

Hannah thought, yes, I am too naïve. Ingrid

is right. I am really naïve. How can Abel risk himself to save his fiancée? Rich

families only attach great importance to their interests. There are no true

feelings.

“However, Ladarius won’t be enjoying all this for long. Does he really think that

he is very powerful? He is just taking advantage of my negligence. Declan,

he…”

Before Ingrid finished speaking, Hannah sighed and said, “Declan is also in his

hands.”“What?” Turning her head, Ingrid looked surprised.

She pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, “No, he won’t.”

“It’s true. Ladarius has admitted it himself. He said Declan’s lover and

illegitimate son were both in his hands. Now he is in possession of the company.

Moreover, the situation in the company remains highly unstable. I…. I don’t

know what to say.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Although she didn’l participate much in the Petersen Group, Hannalı witnessed

its expansion. Now, it was her son who took over the company. But from now

on, the Petersen Group was no longer the previous Petersen Group. Hannah

was a little emotional.

“No.” Shaking her head, Ingrid was immersed in her thoughts and said, “The

matter in the hospital has already made me understand. Declan is not someone

who can be controlled so easily. He has been able to set up this trap from the

very beginning. He pretended to be ill and had Cindy cooperate with his acting.

How could he be easily held hostage and let an outsider control the Petersen

Group?”

Ingrid had tried everything to take over the Petersen Group, but she failed. With

his limited ability, how could Ladarius get control of the company so easily?

Ingrid felt that this was impossible. Declan was an experienced cute operator in

the business world. How could he fall into Ladarius’ trap? Ingrid didn’t believe it.

“This… I heard that his lover and his illegitimate son were taken away on the

way out of the hospital. You also know how thoroughly Ladarius made his

preparations this time. We never thought of it, let alone Declan. By the way,

didn’t we find Declan before? He has so many industries and houses, but we

can’t find him. I don’t know where he went. Now that I think about it,

everything makes sense.”

However, Ingrid still shook her head. “No. It is not that simple.”

After a pause, she smiled and said, “Forget it. Maybe Ladarius is just lucky.

Then I can only congratulate him here.”

“Ingrid…” Hearing what Ingrid said, Hannah felt her heart ache. “I will save you.

I will definitely find a way to save you!”

Even if she had to beg Ladarius, Hannah had to save Ingrid.

“Please go. I don’t want to see you anymore.” Ingrid got up and walked inside, a

strange smile on her face.

Previously, when she was in the maze, she could not see through many things

so clearly. Now that she thought about it, she found that she missed out on

some things.

If Declan had been playing tricks from the beginning, then he was pretending to

be ill. He feigned being hospitalized and not caring about the company. On that

day, Declan was able to call over two shareholders who did not care about the

company’s affairs, which proved that the company was still under his control.

Moreover, was Charles really dead?

The news came from outside. No one saw Charles die, and no one saw his

dead body with their own eyes. Could it be that this was another trick?

If that was the case, then Ladarius was already a little bug on the cobweb. He

thought that everything was under his control, but he did not know that he had

already fallen into Declan’s trap. In the end, Ladarius would end up like her,

failing for self-righteousness.

What a splendid idea! How sly Declan was! No one could notice his tricks until

the final result was announced.
