CEO Is Chasing Ex-Wife Back novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101 It Is Just a Coincidence
The Buchanna Group was a major shareholder of their hospital, one that they could not afford to offend.
Lawrence listened carefully to what Carter had to say. Despite being surprised, Lawrence kept nodding, “I understand! Don’t worry, I will do it immediately.”
The moment Carter hung up the phone, Lawrence rushed to the inpatient department.
There, Jay was forced to be discharged from the hospital.
“How can you treat Jay like this! He is a VIP customer of your hospital. And he is still not feeling well yet!” Layla was anxious.
But no matter how hard Layla tried, the hospital remained tough on them.
“Sorry, you can’t stay in our hospital anymore.”
Then they shoved Jay, who had just changed out of his hospital gown, out of the hospital.
Layla wanted to keep reasoning with them, but Jay, looking cold, stopped her. “Mom, stop! Someone must have instructed them to do this.”
“Who? Who dares to take the Keen family lightly!” Layla was bent out of shape. “I’ll call your father now and ask him to have Aurora properly dealt with. What a bitch!”
That day at the Walton family’s birthday party, Layla had seen that Aurora was close to Terry.
But the Walton family didn’t seem to be that influential, judging from the size of their family
business.
Could it be Terry?
Layla was outraged and kept complaining to Reginald Keen, her husband, and exaggerating the fact
if needed.
And since Jay was the only child in the family, Reginald was furious as well.
“All right then. Take Jay home first. And I’ll deal with the rest. Whoever did this must pay the price!”
Just when Reginald was about to reach out to the hospital, something happened.
The manager of the marketing department ran in hurriedly. “Mr. Keen, this is really bad. The Buchanna Group has raised the price all of a sudden, which managed to poach several partners of ours. I’ve received their liquidated damages already.”
“What?”
“‘They pay the penalty fee to draw the line with us!”

Reginald slammed the table in anger. “Zac, are you crazy? Can the Buchanna Group sell out all these goods?”
“I heard that the Buchanna Group had cleared out two warehouses of cargo yesterday. Right now they are in need of supplies. Moreover, they seem to be deliberately targeting us because a manager of our partners revealed to me that the Buchanna Group wanted our goods only.”
Reginald was so angry upon hearing this. And that anger made him feel suffocated.
He was now beginning to feel his age, and a situation like this could easily trigger off a reaction in his body.
“Why?”
Despite the Keen Group having been competing with the Buchanna Group, there was no need to take the competition to extremes like this.
“A staff member of the Buchanna Group told me that it was an order from their president.” The manager wiped off the sweat on his forehead. “Mr. Keen, I’m afraid we’ll have to do something.”
Reginald dropped into a chair, deep in contemplation.
And then what Layla said just now crossed his mind. “No way…”
Would Zac go through all this trouble just for that woman?
“Contact the people from the Buchanna Group now. I want to see Zac.”
The news that Jay had been beaten up by Aurora spread like wildfire.

People were actually waiting to see Aurora get punished for what she did. But instead of that, it was the Keen family that suffered in the end. The Keen family didn’t fight back at all. It was also said that Jay, ill at home, had taken a long vacation.
For a time, no one dared to talk about Aurora openly.
Faye and Wenny knew about this from Davis. Both, despite having different looks on their faces, were very surprised.
“The Keen family doesn’t dare to deal with Aurora?” Wenny snorted angrily, “What a good-for-nothing.”
Davis, having his meal, then reminded Wenny, “You can ask Zac subtly. The Buchanna Group has

been doing quite a lot recently. Is it that they are taking advantage of the situation while taking it out on the Keen family? Or it’s just a coincidence?”
“It must be a coincidence! How could it be possible that Zac will help Aurora?” There was anger in Wenny’s eyes.
After dinner, Wenny hurried out to the Walton’s place. She was wondering why Kate still did
nothing
Meanwhile, Faye accompanied Davis into the bathroom. Then she received a call from Aurora.
The moment she saw the caller ID, she hurriedly closed the door.
On the other side of the line, Aurora’s voice sounded cold, “The amount of money is not right.”
It should be 1 million dollars. And Faye only gave her 100 thousand dollars.
That was only one-tenth of what was asked for.
Faye hurried to explain, “Aurora, I need time. I mean, this is a huge amount. I really don’t have that much money. You know the Swon family. We simply don’t have this amount of money. We are actually tightening our belts.”
“Really? Didn’t you just go shopping with Wenny yesterday?” Aurora fiddled with the photo in her hand.
She bought the photos from the paparazzi at a low price.
After all, Wenny was not that famous. Those paparazzi couldn’t be bothered to chase after her. It was just that Wenny was connected to Zac sometimes. That made her slightly worthy of note.
Therefore, it was easy for Aurora to get these pictures.
“I was forced into a corner. Aurora, give me some more time.” The more Faye spoke, the smaller her voice became. Faye was afraid that this might alarm Davis, who was showering inside.
But she dared not ignore Aurora’s call.
She was afraid that Aurora would expose her past scandal to the Swon family.
After thinking about it, Faye came up with an idea, “One month, just one month! Then I will give you all the money. Is that okay? Aurora, please give me that.”
What a joke.
Aurora narrowed her eyes a bit. “No, Mrs. Swon! If I give you one more month, then what should I do with those dunners? Three days, I will give you three more days.”
Then Aurora hung up the phone.
How anxious did Faye sound on the other side of the line! It would be most likely that she sold some jewelry or gifts that Davis had given her.
Aurora thought a bit and decided to wait for a while longer.
The next day, she went to the shooting site early in the morning. It was a private villa in the suburbs, which had been rented to Evelyn magazine for a two-month shoot.
As Anya told her, Aurora was going to move the props over there.
However, when Aurora arrived at the scene, she found that it was a row of large containers. Not to mention a woman like Aurora, even four or five men would have to expend a lot of effort moving
them.
“Are you the only one who came?” A worker who was in charge of unloading the stuff asked with a frown, “Didn’t I tell you that there are a lot of things? We don’t have time to move all the stuff in. We can only put them here.
“As for the rest, think of your own way.”
They had their own work too.
Aurora sighed silently as she thought of what they had said. Despite having dealt with Jay, she still got a lot on her plate to deal with herself.
Before Aurora could think of a way, Anya called. And as soon as Aurora picked up the phone, Anya urged Aurora, “The shooting will begin soon. Move the props over here as soon as possible.”

“But…”
A tout sounded over the phone.
Aurora took a deep breath, thinking,
What was she to do?
Aurora looked around and saw the construction site that was not far away. She quickly ran over
there.
At this time, on the shooting site, the male models were already prepared.
Ella, together with Wenny, was standing at the door and pleading with Randy, the deputy director.
“Brenton, just let Wenny in and take a few pictures of her. Even if you decide not to use those pictures in the end, it will still be okay!” Ella took out the card that she had prepared before and slipped it into the director’s hand.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help. Brenton is the lead director. Haven’t you heard of him? I really can’t help it.” Randy shook his head.
“If you really can’t do it, you can let Wenny be a model at the side. Is this okay? Later, I will arrang a few new artists for you. They will all be very pretty.” Ella lowered her voice, “Moreover, Mr. Buchanna will probably be here in a while. You don’t want him to get angry over such a small matter, do you?”
