###Chapter 212 Men Who Say Things With Strength - Part 6

I pursed my lips and changed the subject. "Were you here to talk?"

He withdrew his eyes from the empty cup on the table and answered, "Who spilled it?"

I frowned. "Are you going to beat her up or give her a cup of coffee?"

He raised his eyebrows. "Which way do you like?"

"All right, you guys talk about things. I'll go first. There's something I have to do with the company!" What's the use of saying that, after all, he wouldn't even find Nicole to beat her up, and for a fact, he won't.

He grabbed my wrist and asked, "What did she want to talk to you about?"

I was getting impatient and had a headache, "Jordan, let's go home and talk about things first!"

As I shook off his hand, I went straight out of the coffee shop.

Not far away, Jordan followed. He put his coat on me. "Since you didn't drive here, I'll take you back later. Go change your clothes first, then we'll head back to the company."

I furrowed my eyebrow and shook my head. "No, I've already done it. I'll go back to the company to take care of something."

"What must be dealt with now?" He spoke in a heavy tone, and when he saw me looking at him, he slightly lowered his eyebrows and looked better. "Go back and take a shower and change your clothes," he insisted. "So that you wouldn't feel bad about yourself!"

"No!"

"Ivelle!" He frowned. "We can get along better, more like husband and wife, not like that!"

I subconsciously frowned. As Mrs. Marcela said, he really worked hard to change his attitude to be able to handle things well, and I could see his concern and care.

After a pause, I looked at him and nodded, "Well, you take me back."

He looked a little better, pulled me into the car, and the car started. I couldn't help and ask, "Aren't you going to say hello to Dr. Brad?"

"No!" In response to me, he drove straight in the direction of the villa.

When I got back to the villa, I went into the bathroom and took a bath. When I came out, Jordan was in a call on the balcony.

Originally, the space was just small. I can still hear the voice on the other end of the line. It was Nicole.

Jordan seemed unhappy and said in a low voice, "Nicole, our relationship can be handled by us, you don't have to trouble Ivelle."

Nicole was a little angry. "Jordan, what do you mean? Did she complain to you?"

"No!" Jordan's voice was low, and he looked back at me when he heard the noise behind him, and then came indirectly from the balcony.

Nicole's voice on the other end of the phone was very loud and unhappy. "Then what makes you think I did it? Do you think that badly of me?"

Jordan didn't want to talk to her about this and paused. "This is the last time, and there will be no next time. If this is about your mother, you can come to me. I'm involved in this, and there will be more in the future."

"Jordan!" As I listened to Nicole's voice, she seemed angry, "My mother was just trying to protect me. What was wrong with that, that you're so against her?"

Jordan frowned, and his eyes fell on me and motioned for me to dry my hair. I didn't look at him directly and didn't want to go.

He smiled and pulled down his face on the phone. "I just want to get justice for my child. What's wrong with that?"

What he said could really shut people up.

Nicole had nothing left to say and hung up the phone immediately.

Jordan casually left his cell phone in place, sat me down, and wiped my hair.

His phone rang several times, but he didn't answer it. I couldn't keep my temper. I looked back at him and said, "You take care of your business!"

He spoke calmly. "I'll dry your hair later!"

After helping me out for a long time, he was not ready to leave until my hair was dry.

Seeing that he was out of the house, I went directly to the company. I originally intended to talk to Aaron about AI. The project has just started, and I haven't figured out a lot of things yet, so I wanted to talk to him carefully.

But after looking around, I heard the assistant say that he had gone to the hospital, saying that Richard Badger was on the verge of death.

I tried calling Aaron, but my calls wouldn't go through. Since I didn't know what the situation was, I decided to call Alice Astley.

After she picked up the call, all I heard were heartbreaking cries, not the voice of Alice.

I couldn't help but ask, "Boss Alice, how's Uncle Richard?"

"Tell Jordan that Richard has passed away. Come and bring Jordan to the hospital to help Aaron organize the funeral." Alice's voice was so calm that I could not hear any other emotion.

I was slightly shocked and was speechless. Richard Badger passed away?

Wasn't he fine before?

I asked for the address and went straight over. Jordan was busy and didn't answer the phone, so I just sent him a message to tell him the address and went over it by myself.

By the time I got to the hospital, Richard was out of breath. Phoebe sat at the door of the ward semi-paralyzed, looking haggard and without any spirit.

Alice did not know where Aaron went since he wasn't there. When she heard the noise, Phoebe looked up at me. I didn't know why she suddenly rushed at me, threw me to the ground, and shouted, "There is nothing good in the Astley family. Your aunt robbed my husband, you robbed my son, you are not good people."

Phoebe was so emotional that she pulled me and beat me and scolded me. I was caught off guard. Coupled with her exertion, she pressed me to the ground, and she caught blood on my face and neck.

Her hair was torn off a lot, and the nurse on one side saw this and came forward to drag her away.

She should have been hit. She was crazy and desperately scolded me, "You, Astley family, will get your revenge. All of you can be like Alice, you did not think that you would win and inherit Badger. I will fight till my last breath and you will not die easily."

Aaron went through the death formalities for Richard. When he saw this when he came back, he couldn't help looking at me and said, "What's the matter?"

I was so scared that Phoebe didn't react for a moment. I looked at him and shook my head and said, "I don't know. She was like this as soon as I got here. Maybe she was too sad."

Alice also came and looked at Phoebe, who was already losing her mind. She just frowned and looked at me and asked, "Are you all right?"

I shook my head and couldn't help but worry about Aaron. His father had just passed away, and his mother was like this again. He was also a human being. He may look calm on the surface, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Richard's body was sent directly to the funeral parlor for cremation, and the time for burial was scheduled for next month. Aaron took care of everything and sent Phoebe away.

He looked at Alice and said, "My father Badger to you for you to manage. I will hand over the company as soon as possible, and then go back to M country."

Alice nodded faintly, and the mood on her face was very light.

I was oblivious for a few seconds. I did not understand how Aaron's own father would give the company to Alice. Aaron was Richard's own son. How could be like that?

After Aaron had said that, I followed him as he walked sadly. I tried comforting him and asked, "Aaron, have you eaten?"
