Chapter 1711

Ron was pushed back two steps. He stared at the emergency room door, his expression blank. Though he opened his mouth several times, no words came out.Kerry pushed him again. "What are you standing here for? Quickly go see your father. He won't be able to rest in peace knowing he has an unfilial son like you."Kerry's words hurt Ron deeply, leaving him feeling suffocated.After a while, Ron came back to his senses and staggered toward the emergency room.Donald lay on the emergency operating table, his eyes closed, his face pallid.Rebekah was half-kneeling by the bedside, tightly holding Donald's hand as she cried hysterically.Approaching Donald, Ron was vividly reminded of Gary, whose face suddenly flashed in his mind.A year ago, Ron received news that Gary had passed away and was also lying on a similar operating table, his face so pale it was almost distorted.That face he knew so well suddenly seemed so foreign to him, so unfamiliar that he could barely recognize it.T

Since no one came to pick Emma up, she had to take a taxi from her university to the area outside the villa where the Hagrid residence was located.After getting out of the taxi, it took her quite a while to walk to the Hagrid residence.There were many people at the house, including all Hagrid family members, close relatives, and friends. Emma's parents were there too. She was the last to arrive.As soon as she entered the yard, she heard someone say, "The jinx is here!"Emma looked in the direction of the voice and noticed a few people looking at her. But she could not confirm who said it.After Gary's passing, Donald's health deteriorated. Emma had nothing to do with Donald's death, but some people still blamed her for it.This mirrored the earlier situation where Ron was unjustly blamed for Donald's death. However, Ron's mental fortitude shielded him from being affected by their guilt-tripping.Emma opened her mouth, intending to retort. However, considering the setting, she

Anthony said with a serious expression, "Ms. Blue is Ron's fiancée, chosen by Dad, and Donald also agreed with it. Quickly have her change her clothes and join Ron to greet and thank the visitors."Jake replied, "Okay. Ms. Blue, come with me."Emma followed Jake.Regina followed them and, after taking two steps, turned her head to smile at Anthony. "Thank you, Anthony."Anthony simply smiled, offering no response.In a faint voice, Audrey asked, "What does Regina want?"Anthony replied, "She's trying to please me."Audrey responded, "Such a cheap woman."Anthony said, "The Blue family is trying to cause trouble, but there's no need to bother about them."Audrey glanced at Ron, who was talking to the visitors, after briefly watching Emma's back. "You do know that Ron doesn't want to marry Emma, yet you still arrange for her to join him. Aren't you afraid he'll cause a scene?"Anthony replied with a cold smile, "I know, that's why I arranged it this way. I want him to cause a s

Audrey still wanted to say something, but Anthony waved his hand, signaling her to stop. He then gestured for Audrey to look in Ron's direction.Audrey followed Anthony's gaze and saw Emma had already changed into black clothes and joined Ron in receiving the visitors.Audrey was puzzled. "Why hasn't Ron lost his temper? That's not like him."Anthony responded, "With both his father and brother passing away, he has no more support. He's not stupid. If he doesn't control his temper and continues to cause trouble, who'll clean up his mess for him?"Audrey replied, "He's surprisingly adaptable."Meanwhile, Emma was helping with everything Ron was doing. However, they did not talk to each other.After a while, Ron asked her, as if he had just noticed her presence, "Why are you here?"His voice was hoarse, as if he had been screaming for hours.Emma was worried about Ron. "Do you need water?"Ron ignored her.Emma stepped aside, quietly took a small water bottle, and handed it to

Emma did not respond but thought, 'I can't fully empathize with Ron's pain, but I believe he has known care and love. Unlike me, I've never felt loved by anyone.'Ron continued saying, "It hasn't been long since I lost both my brother and father. And now, my mother is so traumatized she's confined to her bed."Although Ron's tone was indifferent, Emma felt heartbroken when she heard his words.She subconsciously reached out to put her hand on top of the back of Ron's hand. "Ron, even if I might not be of much help, I want to be your friend. Together, maybe we can change our fate."Ron turned his head to stare at Emma coldly, meeting her foolish but determined gaze.Emma felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. "If you don't want that, just pretend I didn't say it."Ron replied, "You want to be my friend and work with me, but do you know what I'm about to face?"Emma asked, "Does it matter what you're about to face?"Ron responded, "You could end up like my brother and fathe

All the directors and senior executives from Hagrid Corporation arrived at the Hagrid residence unexpectedly.Even though Emma did not know what was actually happening, she could tell they were plotting something.She sat beside Ron and dared not speak a word. She knew that with so many people here, it was not her place to talk.Taking the initiative, Anthony said, "Dad, knowing you're not feeling well, they came to visit you."Philip squinted slightly and glanced at everyone present. "I may be old, but I'm not senile. I know each and every one of your intentions."The expressions of some people turned unpleasant upon hearing Philip's words.Emma then heard an older guy say, "We're all worried about Hagrid Corporation."Philip said, "What's wrong with the company? Did the stock price fall? Or is it going bankrupt because of mismanagement? Or do you people think I'm too old to handle such a big corporation?"That guy wanted to say something but ultimately decided against it.Ph

Philip waved his hand and said, "It's been a few busy days, and everyone is tired. Let's all go back and rest. We'll deal with whatever needs to be done tomorrow. My health is much better than you all imagine."Prompted by Philip's words, everyone realized there was no further need to stay. Consequently, they all stood up and prepared to leave.As Emma and Ron stood up to leave, Philip's voice halted their movement. "Emma, why don't you stay and have a meal with me? I'll have the driver take you home later," he said.Emma glanced at Ron, but he did not say anything and just walked away.Other people's gazes toward Emma carried a hint of curiosity.Emma just ignored them and turned around to walk to Philip. "Grandpa," she said.Philip patted the spot beside him, signaling Emma to sit down. He then looked at the others who all had ulterior motives and asked, "Do you all want to stay and eat with me too?"No one wanted to dine with Philip; they merely wanted to know why he asked Em

Since Emma was unaware of the details of Philip's health condition, she did not respond to his comments on the matter.Philip continued, saying, "You've seen the situation these days. Everyone wants to eliminate Ron."Given the topic's sensitivity, Emma did not dare respond. She just quietly listened to Philip.Philip chuckled. "I'm still alive, yet many people hope for my death to claim my wealth. Sometimes I envy ordinary families that have a good relationship between the parents and the children."Emma thought, 'I'm jealous of them too. Unfortunately, I was born into this kind of family.'Philip then asked, "You understand what I'm saying, right?"Emma nodded. "Grandpa, actually Ron isn't as bad as everyone says."Philip smiled. "Look, you're already speaking up for your fiancé. He doesn't even let you live with him, yet you're defending him."Emma responded, "I'm not defending him; I'm just sharing my observations. Moreover, choosing to stay at the dormitory was my decision

"Grandpa, I know which path to take; you don't need to worry about me. Right now, the most important thing for you is to take care of your health and not let those people get under your skin anymore."Ron suddenly spoke up, interrupting Emma and Philip's conversation.Emma spun around, surprised by Ron in the living room—he was supposed to have left. "Why are you still here?"With light and graceful steps, Ron approached Emma and Philip, his eyes bright and devoid of the desolation evident just moments before.Philip frowned disapprovingly. "What do you know? If you really knew, you wouldn't need me, an old man, to worry about you."Ron sat beside Philip. "Grandpa, I appreciate everything you've done to help me. I know that by keeping Emma here, you're sending a message to those people that I can't take over Hagrid Corporation. But I'm your grandson, and I know you won't just abandon me. But have you considered the implications for her, this scaredy-cat?"Philip responded, "With

Ron said, "Grandpa, if she turns out to be behind all this, I won't spare her. You should be prepared for that.""I allow them to showcase their talents in any way they want, but I've never allowed them to hurt each other. If it turns out she's responsible for these two matters..." Philip paused, seemingly making a significant decision, "then we'll do what needs to be done."Ron responded, "Your support means a lot to me."Philip said, "Jake might be back soon. Quickly take Emma and leave."Ron replied, "I want to stay and have dinner with you."Philip rejected him, saying, "Not tonight. Return and dine with me once you've found the real culprit and earned everyone's respect in taking over Hagrid Corporation."Ron knew that now was not the right time to let anyone know they were putting on a show. He got up and said, "Scaredy-cat, let's go."Emma got up. "Grandpa, take care. We'll get going now."Philip feigned impatience and waved his hand dismissively. "Quickly leave. You you
