Chapter 990: Not Allowed to Leave the Manor

“What did you say?!” Quan Jingzhou was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. He roared angrily, “A bunch of trash. Block the news immediately and tell the public relations team to handle it!”

The secretary on the other end of the line trembled in fear at his roar. “We’ve already blocked the news. However, the five scandals are all backed with concrete evidence. There are photos, videos, and details. They’re all irrefutable. The public relations department says that we have no choice but to issue a statement to apologize. In addition, our group’s share price has plummeted. Some of our partner companies also said that the impact of this matter is too severe. They have to consider whether to renew our contracts…”

The veins on Quan Jingzhou’s forehead twitched violently, and his angry eyes almost spewed fire. “If they want to terminate the contracts, let them! I don’t believe that I will be defeated by a few scandals! Quan Jue wants to use such a small trick to deal with me? Dream on!”

After hanging up, Quan Jingzhou panted heavily.

Although he had lost his temper, Quan Jingzhou still needed to go to the corporation to see the exact situation.

By the time Lu Xian woke up, Quan Jingzhou had already left for the Quan Corporation.

That’s right. Quan Jingzhou did not hide Lu Xian elsewhere. Instead, she was hidden in the Quan family’s manor.

However, she had been staying in her room the past few days and did not have the chance to go out. She was only allowed to leave her room after several days of protest and begging.

However, Lu Xian would be tailed by two expressionless maids. They kept a close watch on her as if she was a prisoner.

Whether Lu Xian was eating, sleeping, or even going to the washroom, people would be waiting for her outside the door.

Lu Xian had protested, but these maids only listened to Quan Jingzhou’s orders and not hers.

After a few days, Lu Xian was already very annoyed.

“Why isn’t Jingzhou here?” she asked as she looked at the empty dining table.

“Ms. Lu, Sir is busy at work today, so he rushed to the company early in the morning. Sir specially instructed Ms. Lu to wait for him to come back tonight to have dinner together,” the maid said mechanically.

When Lu Xian heard this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She smiled mockingly. “What an interesting way to put things. Other than waiting for him to come back and have dinner with me, do I have any choice? I’m locked here and I can’t go out.”

The maid said formally, “Ms. Lu, whatever you want, just give the order and we will immediately prepare it for you. You don’t have to leave the manor.”

When Lu Xian heard this, she gave a casual smile. “No need. Just prepare breakfast for me first.”

When the maids heard this, they obediently lowered their heads and quickly prepared a few things for her to eat.

Lu Xian spent another day at home.

During this period, she mentioned several times that she wanted to contact Quan Jue.

It didn’t matter if she couldn’t tell him where she was. She just wanted to tell him that she was safe so that he wouldn’t worry.

Thinking of her son, Lu Xian was even more desperate to leave.

She was depressed until Quan Jingzhou came back from work.

“Lu Xian, I’m back.” Quan Jingzhou’s expression was grim. He had experienced too many terrible things today.
