Chapter 33 No More Attachment

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhao. Mr. Gu wasn't in the company today."

In the reception room for the president of the Gu Group. Amanda was informed by Burke's secretary,
Mike Lin, that Burke didn't come to work today.

Amanda had been out of touch with Burke for the whole day, so she was very angry and restrained
herself from the anger. She knew that Mike Lin had been working for him for many years. He was an
effective assistant to him. Offending him didn't do her any good. So she held back her anger, put on a
smile and said, "Mike Lin, you must know where he is, right? Can you tell me? "

Mike Lin put on his professional smile and shook his head. He knew Burke's temper. He never liked
others to know his schedule, so did Amanda.

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhao."

Since he had been with him for so many years, he can't be an easy one.

Knowing that she couldn't get any information from Mike Lin, Amanda decided not to humiliate herself
anymore. She grabbed her bag on the sofa and left in a huff.

After the kidnapping last time, Burke was more and more alienated from her. He didn't answer her
phone call from yesterday till now.

Amanda began to worry.

Did Burke find out something?

"It's all because of that Rocky. He cannot handle one simple thing..." She murmured.



That day, she had asked Rocky to hide in the corner of the warehouse. She wanted to take use of
Burke's hand to get Rose in, and let Rocky kill her. Unexpectedly, Xavier showed up too.

Rose had been quite luck to escape from that.

After Rocky escaped, Amanda gave him a large sum of money to let him temporarily stay out of
trouble, which also avoided the investigation of Burke and other people.

After that time, Amanda also cut her contact with Rocky temporarily, avoiding getting involved in a fire
and investigating him.

She didn't know where Rocky was now.

Thinking of this, Amanda frowned and her face became very serious.

In the CEO Office of the Yuan Group, Austin stood in front of a huge French window and looked down
at the heavy traffic on the road. His face couldn't be seen clearly.

"Is everything done?"

"Mr. Yuan, don't worry. It's absolutely okay."

A fat middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes said with a smug smile, sitting on the sofa.

"Be careful. Don't give yourself away." Austin reminded.

He didn't plan to work with the president in the first place. He was a meticulous man. Dealing with such
an important matter with such a conceited man was not a good idea.



For decades, the Gu Group had a strong foundation, which was based on the loyalty and the united
fight of several generations of people. After Burke took over Gu Group, he had made a series of
changes within. The Gu Group was quite impregnable now. It could be hard to find someone to take the
risk of cooperating with Yuan Group.

Austin had made many efforts and finally got to negotiate with the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.
Through negotiation, he obtained the first-hand information before the first trial of the Hetian Real
Estate Project of Gu Group, the failure of which had hardly impacted Burke.

"What does Burke know? When I was with the elderly Mr. Gu, he did not know where he was. It cannot
be so easy to find who was after all this. Just relax. Don't forget what you promised me before! "

The man said as he reached for the coffee on the table and took a sip of it gently. He closed his eyes
as if enjoying it, half leaned on the sofa and hummed a tune.

At the thought the sullen expression on Burke's face when heard of the failure of Hetian Real Estate
Project's first trial, Austin's mood was lit up.

He wanted to defeat Burke, destroy the Gu Group and revitalize the Yuan Group. And, he even
intended to get Rose back from Burke.

Whatever it would cost.

In the Gu's manor, Burke had just had his breakfast when the doctor rushed to give him a set of
general check-up. The speed at which Burke recovered from illness this time surprised the doctor very
much. Due to the meticulous care from the people around him, it was really different.

"Mrs. Gu, you did a great job in recovering." The doctor teased.



"Yes, Mrs. Gu has been taking care of Mr. Gu all the time since yesterday. And she doesn't even allow
us servants to help her. She is really tired." Sophie, who was standing aside, immediately agreed.

Burke nodded slightly to show his understanding.

After the driver sent the doctor out, Burke turned around and started to work. In the open garden next
to Rose's villa. Just as Burke opened the work schedule and working information the driver sent in from
Mike Lin, he remembered that his mobile phone was still in the suit jacket of yesterday.

"Mr. Gu, here is the fresh coffee and today's newspaper."

Just at that moment, Sophie brought coffee to Burke and a newspaper of that day. She had been
working in the Gu Family for many years and knew the habits and preferences of Burke.

"Sophie, where is my suit yesterday? My phone is still in there. Can you get it for me? "

"It's still in Rose's room. I'll go fetch it." Sophie nodded and left.

Burke reached out his hand, took the coffee on the table and took a sip. Burke never added sugar to
the coffee as he preferred the most primitive bitterness and mellow taste of the coffee.

After putting down the coffee mug, Burke grabbed the newspaper on the table. As expected, the first-
trial of Hetian Real Estate Project of the Gu group was on the headlines.

'Might be the start of Gu Group's collapse.'

"The new CEO of Gu Group has begun to fall."

Almost half of the newspapers today were full of such remarks.



Seeing that, Burke could not help frowning slightly. The Gu Group was not so easy to collapse, and he
was not so easily defeated. These people were too alarmist and exaggerating.

'Fine. I'll put aside the Hetian Real Estate Project before I find out the one who was behind this."

"Mr. Gu, here's your phone."

As she was thinking, she had already taken back her mobile phone and handed it to Burke.

"Thank you."

As he saw, there were dozens of missed call reminders on the screen.

Then he rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, and pointed them out one by one.

Besides the phone calls from Mike Lin and other project managers, there were dozens of calls from
Amanda.

Burke frowned and called back.

After a few "beeps", the phone was quickly picked up.

"Hey! "Burke! ! !" Amanda's exciting voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hi, Amy, it's me. What's up?" Burke replied indifferently.

"Can't I call you if there's nothing important? You didn't answer my phone call the whole day. Do you
know how worried I am? " Amanda was a little disappointed when she heard the cold words from
Burke. But she refrained those feelings and tried to be coquetry.

"There are many tough matters in work recently."



Amanda knew from Burke's words that if she had nothing important to say, she should stop annoying
him. She had heard about the Hetian Real Estate Project before. In order not to leave a bad impression
on Burke, she had to let it go.

"Well, I won't disturb your work any more. Take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

"I know..."

After saying that, Burke hung up the phone without hesitation.
