Chapter 211

[ 528 words ]

At Quarry Group headquarters, Orion rushed into Yorick’s office.

“Mr. Quarry, Mr. Patel and his team have headed to Spring Hill.”

Yorick raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“They’re set to review the contract today.”

Yorick froze for a moment, processing the implications.

Jeremy was supposed to discuss the contract details with the Lugar family today.

Spring Hill at this hour? Was the meeting scheduled there?

That must be it.

Yorick swiftly stood up, grabbing his blazer from the back of the couch.

“Mr. Thane Quarry is on his way there as well,” Orion added.

Yorick frowned. “My father too?”

Orion nodded. “Yes.”

So, the Lugar family definitely was there.

Considering his father’s recent moves at the hospital, Yorick knew all too well what was at stake. If they failed to secure the Lugar family’s partnership, the consequences for Ursula could be severe. “Let’s head over, and bring a copy of the contract.”

Today, meeting that person, Yorick was determined to secure the partnership and sign the contract. Even if they intended to collaborate with Jeremy, he wanted a piece of the action. Orion replied, “Alright, I’ll have the legal department prepare it immediately.”

Without hesitation, Yorick stepped out of his office, his resolve unshaken. Securing the Lugar family’s partnership today was non-negotiable.

As he walked, his phone buzzed in his pocket. Glancing at the screen, he saw Ursula’s name.

He answered immediately, “Ursula.”

“Rick, are you busy?”

Ursula’s voice came through, choked with emotion.

Yorick frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“I can’t stay in this hospital anymore. Your parents…” Ursula’s words trailed off as her emotions overwhelmed her.

Yorick’s concern deepened. “My parents?”

Could his mother have gone there as well?

The thought turned Yorick’s expression grim.

Ursula cried, “Your mother came to see me.”

Her voice was laced with a mix of choking and grievance. It was clear that Imogen’s visit to the hospital had been anything but pleasant; her words must have been harsh.

Yorick felt a severe headache coming on.

Before he could respond, Ursula continued, “Rick, can I leave the hospital?”

“Of course you can. Just wait a little longer.”

“What about Wave Residence?”

“The owner won’t sell. I’ll find another place for you.”

Yorick had already decided to let Wave Residence go. He hadn’t told Ursula that Stella was living there now, and that the house belonged to the man supporting Stella. No matter the cost, acquiring it seemed impossible. “I see.” Ursula’s voice carried a note of disappointment, faint yet palpable.

Combined with her frail health, her words were heartbreakingly pitiful.

Her mind wandered to her bet with Stella and the previous flaunting in front of her.

But now, was Yorick telling her outright that she had no chance of moving into Wave Residence? The thought left Ursula feeling suffocated.

Orion returned, contract in hand.

“I’ve got something urgent here. Gotta go,”

Without waiting for Ursula’s response, Yorick ended the call.

Securing the partnership with the Lugar family was his top priority now. With Jeremy in the picture, there was no room for delay.

At the hospital, Ursula’s face fell as she heard the line go dead.

He hung up on her!

Cloudia emerged from the bathroom and asked, “Did you call Yorick?”

“I did. He hung up on me.”

Cloudia’s expression soured upon hearing this.

What was Yorick’s deal now? Even though Imogen had been harsh today, Cloudia still felt that they couldn’t lose Yorick’s support.
