Chapter 1816"Mr. Ballard, don't you think about it?"Meeting Molly's meaningful gaze, Mr. Ballard felt helpless and amused."What are you talking about?"He raised his hand and was about to teach Molly a lesson.She smiled and avoided him, "Mr. Ballard, it's a rare chance. You should think about it." Logan and Lesley covered their mouths and sniggered nearby.Although they hadn't spent much time with Yolanda, they could both see her affection for Mr. Ballard.But Mr. Ballard deliberately kept his distance from Yolanda, and they didn't know what he was thinking.However, as the younger generation, they couldn't say anything about the things of the elders.Molly's joke made Yolanda a little embarrassed, but when she saw Mr. Ballard not answer the question directly, a sense of frustration flashed across her eyes.She watched Mr. Ballard quietly and sighed in her heart.She thought, 'It is all right. It is enough that I can stay by his side.'During the few days that Elton s
Chapter 1817Sean nodded, held Molly's hand, and asked softly, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"Molly had been busy developing the medicine for several days. Although she didn't stay up too late, she was pregnant, so she was more or less tired.So she purposely stopped her work for a rest."I woke up without seeing you, so I got up." Molly's voice was gentle and sweet.Sean's heart instantly melted."I'll accompany you back to the room to rest."After saying that, Sean took Molly to the bedroom.Tony, who stayed behind, thought of how the couple had displayed affection like there was no one else. His mouth twitched. He felt that his boss really didn't treat him as an outsider anymore.'This should be something to be happy about.'Why am I a bit sad?'Could it be because I am single?'Later, Dubhe returned."Master, I've found out that the Martial Art Union secretly sent quite a few people to the Gray family's place, but their purpose is unclear."Sean and Molly wer
Chapter 1818Being reminded by Sean, Molly had a moment of enlightenment.In the next second, Molly held Sean’s hand and rushed out.“Let’s go to see Mr. Ballard.”As soon as Molly saw Mr. Ballard, she told him the whole story.Molly looked at Mr. Ballard and begged, “Mr. Ballard, please help us.”Mr. Ballard burst into laughter, “OK. I will contact the medical team and ask them to come here to develop the repellent.”Hearing that, Molly cheered up. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”Mr. Ballard glanced at her and called the nearest medical team.Sean glanced at Mr. Ballard who was talking on the phone. Then Sean put his arm around Molly’s shoulder, smiled, and asked slightly, “You can feel at ease finally, right?”Molly glanced at Sean. “You’re right, but the clock is ticking. Hope everything will go smoothly.”The development of the repellent for Venomous Insect should be completed the day before the meeting of the Gray family. If it was delayed, the consequences would be too
Chapter 1819Back at their residence, Molly expressed her concerns to Sean."If Mike can't attend the clan meeting, doesn't that mean the Martial Art Union will have their way?"The people of the Martial Art Union had gone to great lengths to win over Elton, all with the ultimate goal of dealing with The Grandset."Don't worry." Sean smiled, saying, "We'll let Candice and others go and testify."He appeared calm, as if everything was under control.Molly couldn't help but laugh. "I almost forgot that you had arranged everything."Although the Venomous Insect had been removed from Mike's head, even she, as a doctor, couldn't tell when he would wake up, not to mention Sean.So, with his cautious personality, he must have been prepared in advance."Yes." Sean raised an eyebrow. "I never engage in unprepared battles.""I know." Molly glanced at him. "With you around, I feel at ease."Sean smiled and embraced her, asking softly, "Are you still worried now?""No." Molly shook her
Chapter 1820Despite Roland and Elton having suspicion in their minds, the Gray family gathering was held as scheduled.The banquet was held at a local hotel. Elton had the place decorated with all the splendor that showed the Gray family’s power.Many guests were invited to the banquet. Elton's son and daughter-in-law stood at the entrance to receive the guests. Though they had serious faces, their curled mouths showed how pleased they were.Candice and her family were also invited. Seeing the lavish banquet, Candice showed a sullen face.Her grandfather was still lying in the hospital, but Elton was having such a lavish banquet, which showed that he didn't care about his brother at all."Ashton, Clarissa, Candice, Tristan, go inside and take your seats!" Elton's son and daughter-in-law greeted Candice and her family with smiles. They ignored the latter's sullen expression on their faces.Candice and her family walked straight past without looking at Elton's son and his wife.
Chapter 1821"Mike had always been in good shape. How come he's now suddenly sick?""It's a surprise to everyone. Now that Mike has fallen ill, the Gray family would have no one to be in charge.""No wonder Elton is holding this family meeting so desperately. So that's what happened.""But there's no way that Elton would be chosen to be in charge, right?""That's what I was thinking as well. Elton has no right to be in charge of the Gray family."All the discussion had fallen into Elton's ears. Deep down, he was dissatisfied with what they were saying, but it wasn't the right time to lose his temper.All he could do was to keep the serious look on his face. "The reason that I've invited you all here is that I hope you can cooperate with the Gray family so that we can all be a winner."As soon as he said those words, an uproar was sent through the crowd.What Elton said sounded nice, but in fact, he just wanted the people present to be under the Gray family's command and to be
Chapter 1822At the scene of the Gray family's family meeting.Elton looked around at all the guests present. He cocked his brows and asked, "Has any of you made up your mind? As long as you cooperate with the Gray family, it will bring you a lot of benefits."Elton gave everyone present the carrot once again.This time, the guests present didn't choose to stay quiet."Thank you, Elton, for holding this family meeting. However, my family probably isn't worthy of working with the Gray family."One of the guests rejected Elton's proposal subtly.After that, other representatives of other families began expressing their thoughts as well."Thank you for the invite, Elton, but I don't think the cooperation is possible.""If it was Mike standing there, then cooperation would for definite, but it isn't.""It's not that we don't believe in your abilities, but we only believe in Mike."Candice listened to all the opinions quietly. She could feel the respect that everyone was showing
Chapter 1823In order to survive, some of the families had no choice but to give in.Their choice obviously made Elton feel very proud.He stood on the stage with a walking stick in his hands with his chin up high. He looked as if he was a king looking down on his servants and the servants were powerless against him, so they had to do as he said.With the thought of the Gray family being under his control, and a lot of families also under his command, Elton became more and more proud of himself.For a moment there, Elton felt that he was already the leader of the Gray family.At that moment, a voice sounded in the room. "Grandpa Elton, don't you think your actions are a little shameless?"After hearing those words, Elton turned around.Candice was staring at him with cold eyes and the sarcasm was evident on her face.She deliberately raised her voice. The room was quite noisy, but most of the guests still heard it.The room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.Eve
