With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 42 Delusion



Night wind was roaring freely on the street, echoing in the quiet office of Burke, making the atmosphere in the room more
solemn.
David didn't respond for a long time.
All of a sudden, Burke slammed the folder in his hand and threw it on the tea table in front of David with force.
"Do you have something to explain about Hetian Real Estate Project, or should I say it?" With his back to David, Burke slowly
walked back to the floor to ceiling window.
David's defense in his mind had collapsed when he heard the name "Hetian". He picked up the document on the table with his
trembling hands and looked through it. Time passed, as if a few century had passed, David's hands holding the document were
shaking more intensely.
The items listed on the document left no room for him to argue.
Suddenly, he threw the document back to the coffee table, buried his face in his hands, and burst into tears.
Without turning his head to look at the bright night scene, Burke just quietly looked out of the window. He knew that too many
people wanted to deal with the Gu Group. As the leader, he might have to suffer many betrayal and regrets, so he could not be
soft hearted.
After a long time, David stopped crying, calmed down and said slowly.
"Mr. Gu, I am sorry for what I have done to the Gu Group. I am really sorry for what I have done. I am the one who leaked the
plan of Hetian Real Estate Project."
The glass window reflected the cold face of Burke. He frowned slightly. This was not the answer he wanted. He wanted to know
who was behind this and made the whole thing against him and the Gu Group.
"Who told you to do this?" Burke asked coldly.
"It..." David shook his head. No matter what, he couldn't sell out the Yuan Group. Otherwise, he would be fired by the Gu Group
and he had no other choice but to support his family.
"David..." All of a sudden, Burke turned to look at David. "Once this news is released, you have no foothold in the whole industry.
Do you still expect the person behind you to take you in? You are just related by benefits. You can't be of any use to him if you

leave the Gu Group."
As Burke spoke, he walked back to his desk. Taking a sip of the coffee, he continued, "As long as you tell me who is behind all
this, I promise you that I'll take care of it and only solve it in the group without leaking it out. In this way, your social reputation will
not be affected, and there will be a chance for you to make a comeback. As for the Gu Group shares, we will discuss with the
board of directors and take it back. But I will give you a sum of money and promise you that you will be safe in two years. "
David lowered his head and then started to struggle. It was the safest plan for him to do so under the condition that Burke asked
for, and the relationship between him and the Yuan Group was just as what Burke had said, but they only took advantage of
each other. He was like a stray dog, and there was not a high probability that he would help him......
Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind. Well, there was no better choice now.
"It's Austin Yuan, the new CEO of the Yuan Group..."
As the night grew darker, in the huge room, Rose was sitting alone on the bed covered with a quilt, but there was always a chill
that made her feel a little uneasy.
"Sophie, Sophie!" She called her name.
"Coming!" Sophie, who was staying in the next room, hurried there.
"Close the window for me." Pointing to the half open window on the south side of the room, Rose instructed.
"Okay." Sophie walked to the window, gently closed it and closed the curtain.
"Hasn't Burke come back yet?" She couldn't help asking.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. She had never come back since Burke answered a call. Grandma sat here with
Rose for a while and went back to rest. Only Rose was looking forward to the arrival of Burke.
After getting along with each other day and night these two days, she had stealthily looked forward to the future when she saw
the gentle and tender care of Burke. At the moment, she was holding her injured feet and lying on the bed alone. She had never
been so lonely before. She needed him.
"President Gu may be too busy, you'd better go to bed early, my lady." Sophie comforted her. She could see that Rose was
extremely upset at the moment.

Rose closed her eyes and nodded weakly to indicate Sophie to leave.
"Mrs. Gu, call me if you need any help." Sophie turned around, walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
Suddenly, a sense of loneliness and loss surrounded her.
'is he really busy? Was he going to do some intimate things with Amanda?'
It reminded her of the call from Amanda and the love in his eyes last afternoon. Perhaps, Burke was loving his 'Amy' all the more
gently now. At the thought of this, Rose's heart throbbed painfully.
'Rose, you shouldn't have any hope for him.
All tenderness and care might be only misunderstood by yourself.
He doesn't love you. He only loves Amanda.
Stop dreaming about it!'
Tears rushed out from her eyes and wetted the sheet.
The clock on the wall tapped twelve times. David had already left. Burke sat at his desk alone, burying his head in the chair,
burying himself in thought.
"Austin, the Yuan Group..." He murmured.
The name sounds familiar
He suddenly remembered that day when he was in a frenzied search for Rose, he saw her getting out of a strange man's car in
front of the Gu's house. They were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. The handsome man in the
car gave him the business card. And it wrote Austin Yuan from Yuan Group.
Ah, it was him.
What a small world. The other day, in front of the mansion of Gu, Austin had seen Burke looked at Rose in a loving way. 'That
guy dared to caste greedy eyes on my wife. Now he is even trying to destroy my company behind my back.
He could be a big trouble if I leave him so.'

Thinking of the day when Rose had a pleasant conversation with Austin, Burke could not help raging and secretly clenched his
fists.
"Knock, knock, knock..." Someone was knocking at the door.
"Come in."
Mike opened the door and came in with a cup of warm water and a bag of gastric medicine in her hand.
"Mr. Gu, it's late now. How about going home and having a rest?" Mike put the water and stomach medicine on his desk and said
with concern.
Since Burke became the CEO of the Gu Group, he had been busy with his work. And the irregular diet and rest gradually left him
with stomach trouble.
