CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 400: I’LL HANDLE IT FOR YOU

Leon Keane frowned, he originally didn’t want her to worry about this matter, yet she still discovered it.

"Leave it to me, I will help you solve it."

"You know GK is in trouble?"

Ivana Monroe looked at Leon Keane, her expression so calm, without a trace of surprise, he certainly knew about GK’s troubles long ago, but just didn’t tell her.

Leon Keane remained silent.

His silence, to Ivana Monroe, was an admission.

Ivana’s eyes reddened slightly, why? Why hide it from her? Not tell her? GK is the legacy her mother left behind. After she was harmed by Michelle Monroe, it fell into Michelle’s hands for a while, almost going bankrupt. She fought hard to reclaim GK, bringing it back to life under her charge.

How difficult every step has been!

Now seeing GK doing better and better, no matter what, she couldn’t let GK become a sacrificial victim because of a Kiki Jennings.

That’s the blood, sweat, and tears shared with her late mother, that’s her life!

Ivana felt heartbroken but couldn’t blame Leon Keane because he did this to protect her, he acted out of good intentions. Ivana only blamed herself for not getting online sooner.

If she had gotten online earlier and checked Twitter regularly, she would have known right when GK got into trouble.

Ivana dialed Jacobs.

"Iv... Ivana..."

The voice on the other side sounded very surprised.

"GK is in trouble, why didn’t you immediately call to inform me?" Ivana directly asked.

"Ivana... I..." Jacobs stammered for a moment, then said, "I was wrong."

He didn’t explain anything, just admitted his mistake. Obviously, someone had conspired with him to keep it from her!

Ivana didn’t want to pursue Jacobs’ mistake because if someone had told Jacobs she was hospitalized, Jacobs would be very anxious and worried, and would follow someone’s arrangement.

"How is GK now?" Ivana asked, "Jacobs, tell me the whole truth, I already know most of it. I won’t hold you accountable for keeping it from me before, but if you keep hiding from me now, you can stop coming to work tomorrow."

Jacobs felt a chill in his heart, not letting him go to work? That would be more painful than being killed.

Jacobs dared not hide from Ivana anymore.

He explained everything to Ivana thoroughly, and lastly said, "Ivana, don’t worry too much. President Kane has already dispatched bodyguards to protect our employees around the clock, and arranged for every female employee to have a dedicated car to take them home, so incidents of female employees being harassed by thugs after work won’t happen again."

Ivana listened.

"Okay, I understand. You and the male employees should also be careful, don’t let your guard down. By the way, from now on, adjust the off-duty time to 3:30 PM, ask everyone to go home as much as possible after work, don’t linger outside or go out with friends at night."

"Cyber attackers who blatantly cause trouble are generally organized. We’re in the open, they’re in the dark, our employees suffer losses no matter what. Everyone needs to work together to get through this tough time."

Ivana paused, and then continued, "Go and hold a meeting for the employees, tell everyone that if they can comply with the company’s arrangements and get through the difficulties, I’ll raise everyone’s base salary by two thousand."

"Okay, Ivana, I’ll go do that now."

Jacobs sounded very enthusiastic. With so much happening recently, actually, employees’ emotions have all been affected, male employees are okay, but especially the female employees.

Their families have been advising them not to work at GK anymore, their honor and lives are more important.

These recent incidents, including female employees being sexually harassed by thugs, have had a big negative impact on GK.

Besides, the thug responsible for the harassment hasn’t been caught yet. Police checked the surveillance, which showed a bearded middle-aged man in a large winter jacket.

But no such person was found in Ravenswood, which means the beard on the middle-aged man’s face might be fake, he disguised himself just to harass GK’s female employees.

The goal was to undermine GK.

The sinister intention of such people is terrifying.

If GK’s employees really leave because of this, who would dare to work at GK in the future? GK could become a nightmare in people’s minds.

Jacobs actually considered calling Ivana, such a situation really requires Ivana to take charge and give everyone some confidence, but Leon Keane came to him and told Jacobs about Ivana’s condition.

Jacobs trembled with cold sweat when he heard that, realizing those people were not only undermining GK but had nearly killed Ivana.

Jacobs begged Leon to protect Ivana well, not telling Ivana about the GK matter was part of that.

Leon instructed him not to mention her accident in front of Ivana even after she was discharged from the hospital.

Jacobs kept that in mind, wanting to voice his concern for Ivana before hanging up, but restrained himself, afraid Ivana might catch on to something.

Ivana hung up the phone and then lifted the bedsheets, moving her legs slowly to get off the bed.

Her gaze was resolute; she wanted to train her legs quickly to be able to be discharged.

Leon Keane reached out to support her: "Take it slow."

He really worried about her falling.

Leon didn’t stop Ivana from making the call because he understood her character. Since she found out, even if he wanted to hide it, it wouldn’t stay hidden for long, better to let her make the call to ask Jacobs directly.

He already handled the GK situation quite well.

So, after Ivana finished asking, she’d feel much more relieved.

"Okay." Ivana placed her feet on the ground, with Leon Keane helping her, she slowly started walking, clearly improved this time, able to step forward and stand, although the injured foot could only stand briefly.

Even so, it filled Ivana with excitement.

She trained for about an hour and a half.

Ivana could move her steps slowly now, but Leon wouldn’t let her continue training.

"You can rest now, you’ve already made great progress; you must not overtrain." Leon’s voice was very gentle.

"Okay."

Ivana was very obedient and, supported by Leon, returned to her hospital bed.

Aunt Golding brought warm water over: "Mrs. Young, you’ve trained hard, have some water!"

"Thank you."

Ivana took the cup, gulping down the entire drink.

She handed the empty cup back to Auntie Chamberlain, noticing Leon’s dark eyes on her moistened lips.

Ivana’s face blushed, she lowered her eyes and nudged Leon’s arm.

Leon smiled. If Aunt Golding wasn’t there, he’d really want to kiss her; her lips glistened like transparent crystal jelly, tempting.

Ivana lay on the bed, thinking about what Jacobs told her, she looked at Leon beside her, and said, "Leon, um... thank you."

Leon froze momentarily, suddenly understanding something, raised an eyebrow, "A sincere thank you needs to be genuine."
