Ophelia finally hung up the phone in anger. Greg cursed at himself so viciously, so that could only mean that it was probably not Greg who had instigated Nora to do so, but how could Nora come up with such a scheme if Greg did not instruct her to do so?After Greg heard Ophelia hanging up the phone on him, he grabbed his car key and left the house immediately. He could not sit back and wait idly. He had to go and prove his innocence to her. Otherwise, she would think that he was the one who had instigated it, and he would lose everything. Greg did not know whether he should be mad at his daughter or praise her. He should praise her for destroying the divorce agreement, which instantly lifted the burden in his heart.However, Ophelia was now blaming him for this incident, so he should be mad at his daughter for what she had done. "Sigh…"He had mixed feelings. Greg called his daughter and asked her to go over to Ophelia’s place quickly so that he could prove that he was rea
“You should leave too.”Greg was finally here at Ophelia’s place, so he was reluctant to leave so soon. He clutched his chest and sat down on Ophelia’s couch while saying, “I feel some tightness in my chest because I’m so mad at Nora. I’ll just sit down for a while to calm down.”He had just been discharged from the hospital with a heart condition, so this was a reasonable excuse. He smiled at Ophelia and said, “You don’t have to worry about me. You can get busy with your own things.”Although he was saying this, his eyes revealed his longing for Ophelia.Ophelia glanced at him and said calmly, “I’m going to take my afternoon nap. Make yourself at home.”She left after saying that, but she eventually poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Greg without looking back before she returned to her room, leaving Greg all alone. Greg was already content to receive such treatment. After Ophelia had left, he drank the glass of water that seemed to taste even sweeter than honey.
Moreover, how could Rowan accept the fact that both Greg and himself were no match for Ryan alone when it came to managing Pierce Group?“No way!”Rowan rejected Greg’s proposal angrily as soon as he mentioned it. Greg was a little annoyed. “Do you really want to stand by and watch as you single-handedly destroy Pierce Group by refusing to ask for his help?”Greg slammed the table in anger when he said this. “Yes, I know you won’t feel bad even if you watch Pierce Group go to ruins. Didn’t you say that it wouldn’t matter to you because it was not your hard work and effort anyway?!”Greg thought about what Rowan had said when he first returned to Crosavia and felt even angrier when he saw Rowan’s current attitude.If this was in the past, Greg would have been furious, but the father and son had gradually gotten along and worked together these few days, so their respective tempers and personalities were greatly restrained. Greg did not get angry at Rowan and yell at him as e
Rowan almost fainted as he stood still. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he could only endure it when he thought of his current situation.He glared at Ryan’s back as the latter left leisurely, then he threw the document in his hand aside and resigned himself to sit down on the fishing bench as he prepared to fish. Rowan was good at fishing. He used to go fishing occasionally as a pastime when he was free, but now, he would have to catch a bucket full of fish in one afternoon. Rowan looked at the empty bucket and could not help but clench his teeth when he saw the size of the bucket. Ryan went back to his room and had a good nap. After he woke up, he went to the pool to swim and played tennis in the tennis room to pass the time. When the sun set in the evening, he slowly wandered to the edge of the lake. Rowan was sitting there fishing. He had taken off his expensive suit jacket and thrown it aside casually on the rock, so it looked wrinkled. He probably did not expec
“Uncle, thank you for designing such a beautiful dress for me.”No one could refuse a sweet and pleasant child, especially when she was so adorable. Rowan smiled. “You’re welcome.”These designs were just a piece of cake to him. Ryan and Silvia walked over together. Rowan looked at them, whereupon Silvia greeted him politely. “Hello.”She should greet Rowan out of courtesy and reason.In fact, she did not have any deep grudges or hatred against him. She had panicked for a while when he took her daughter away at that time, but there was a harmonious relationship between him and her daughter now. She did not have any issues with him either because he had designed all these beautiful dresses for her daughter. “Hello,” Rowan glanced at her and replied briefly in response, then he put the fishing rod in his hand aside and looked at Ryan. “Thank you for today. I’ll get out of your hair now.” Ryan glanced at the bucket that was half filled with fish.“Don’t leave. You’ve caught s
The sun at noon was just nice, and their daughter was taking a nap in the bedroom. The two of them were drinking wine on the wicker chairs on the balcony as they basked in the sun. The warm sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, making them feel warm and comfortable when the sunlight hit their body. After taking a sip of wine, Silvia spoke up thanks to her slight drunkenness. “I have something to discuss with you.”“What’s up?”Ryan turned to look at her. Silvia mustered up the courage to say, “It’s like this—Mr. Sage is starting a branch company in Ellrone, which is a famous foreign trade metropolis in Crosavia. There are many clients and excellent factories there. Mr. Sage said…" Ryan narrowed his eyes dangerously when Silvia said this. Ryan could guess what she was about to say, and he was about to lose his temper. Sure enough, she then said, “Mr. Sage said that he wanted to send me over there temporarily to help him manage the branch compa
Moreover, Greg had also called him in the morning, and he had indirectly said that Rowan would not last long in this state before he gave up on Pierce Group. Ryan would get Pierce Group back when the time came. In other words, after all this trouble, all of them were just using reality to teach the stubborn Rowan a lesson. They wanted him to know that what he originally had and what Greg had given him was already the best. Now, she was proposing to go on a one-year business assignment, and he was about to return to Pierce Group, so how could he stay in Winsterdam with her every day? They would inevitably face the situation of separation when the time came. How could he rest assured when a young and beautiful woman like her was alone in Winsterdam? To put it bluntly, this was all that he cared about. He was worried that she would meet a better man there, that she would have better choices, and that she would not come back if he let her go completely. The two of them were sil
“Did Mr. Ryan agree to it?”Mr. Sage had made this arrangement because he wanted to train Silvia. She was one of the employees who was more outstanding in all aspects among the staff in his company, so Mr. Sage wanted to take this opportunity to hone her skills.Mr. Sage naturally took Ryan’s feelings into account, so he agreed to let Silvia go back and discuss this matter with Ryan first. If Silvia decided to not go to Winsterdam, Mr. Sage would not force her. After all, he would not do things that would destroy other people’s families. Therefore, Mr. Sage was deliberately asking about Ryan’s opinion again now that Silvia was telling him that she had decided to go to Winsterdam. “He agreed. What opinion would he have?” Silvia replied to Mr. Sage as she suppressed her anger. It was no longer a question of her discussing with Ryan whether she should go or not; she felt that she had to go because of Ryan’s attitude. Mr. Sage naturally did not say more after Silvia said that. He
