Chapter 52 Granddaughter
Chapter 52 Granddaughter
The annual leave was coming. Although people were a little busy, they were happy on the whole. Most
of the companies had the same atmosphere. They arranged their annual work to make preparations for
the next year and meanwhile waited for their annual bonus. But in the Ling Group, the atmosphere was
heavy.
Early in the morning, the atmosphere in the company was very intense. It was not because of work, nor
because of the company, but because of the CEO of the company, who hadn't been to the company for
a long time. To everyone's surprise, he had come directly to the CEO's office today.
In James' office, he was sitting face to face with his father on the other side of the desk. Neither of them
spoke, but they both looked intimidating.
In fact, it was James' father, Jonathan, who had been in the business for many years in his whole life.
The Ling Group was the result of his painstaking efforts. He had devoted a lot to maintain the position
of the Ling Group, and in fact, he was a person who enjoyed his family very much. Among his several
children, the most important person he valued was James, James was wise and calm. He was really a
good businessman.
Now, Jonathan had retired to the second tier. He had given all the real power to James, even if he was
still the chairman of the board. If James hadn't refused, Jonathan would have freed himself from the
company and enjoyed the freedom of a family.
It can be said that James has always been very reassuring and satisfying to Jonathan, pushing the
Ling Group forward in his career, and in his personal life, he is simple and clean.
Therefore, when his wife told Jonathan about his granddaughter, his anger erupted. He had
suppressed his anger in front of his wife, but now in front of James, he couldn't control his anger at all.
The two stared at each other without a word. There was anger in Jonathan's eyes, but James was
composed as if he was an outsider.
After a long time of stalemate, Jonathan finally couldn't help but put down his walking stick heavily. He
said in a loud voice, "Say it! What happened? "
James' face remained calm. "My mom must have told you everything. Why bother asking?"
"I want you to tell me by yourself!" Blue veins stood out on his forehead. He was in a violent state.
"Why bother?"
Seeing that James didn't say a word, Jonathan took a step back. "Okay. If you don't tell me, then let me
ask you how I educate you all the time! As a member of the Ling Family they should not have the
ordinary businessman's bad habits! If you have a son or daughter with a good marriage, nobody dares
to say anything about it! But you have an illegitimate daughter! "
As soon as James heard the words "illegitimate daughter", the expression in his eyes changed. He
wouldn't allow anyone to slander Lillias, even if it was his father. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"If you come here to talk about her, you can leave now." James turned his chair and refused.
"You!" Jonathan was pissed off. He tried hard to control his anger. "Fine! Then you will never be able to
take her into the Ling Family! "
"I like my villa." James was unaffected at all.
Just when the atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was out of control, the door was opened
and Shirley walked in in a hurry. She came to Jonathan's side, put her hand on his back, and helped
him smooth his breath.
"I just worry that you two will quarrel! You little brat. You should know how to comfort your father. You
know he has a high blood pressure. What if he gets sick because of anger? " Shirley pulled Jonathan
to sit on the sofa.
After sitting down, Jonathan restrained his temper. "Humph, it's hard to say exactly who is coaxing."
"And you! What did I tell you this morning when you left home! Try not to be angry. But look at you! You
didn't listen to me at all, did you? " Shirley turned the gun and aimed at her husband. She had been
worried that the father and son would quarrel as if they were enemies. Before Jonathan leaving the
house in the morning, she had told him for a long time. However, she was still worried about Jonathan,
so she asked the driver to send her to the Ling Group. Luckily, I came here in time, otherwise how
would Jonathan and James end up? 'Shirley thought.
Neither father nor son spoke. Jonathan stared angrily at James, who was gazing at the computer
beside him, as if he was attentively working.
"What's done is done. There's nothing to talk about! Indeed, it's James' fault, but he is innocent. I don't
know what Lillias will think when she sees you two quarrel like this. Maybe she thinks that we adults
don't love her at all. Child in her age are more sensitive. I've seen the girl before. She is a nice,
obedient and pleasant child. " Shirley tried her best to ease the tension between the two and make
them back to each other.
"We can't forgive him! Ruining the reputation of the Ling Family! What would others think! There is such
a playboy in Ling Family!" If it had happened to anyone else in the Ling Family, he wouldn't have been
so angry. But it was James, the one he loved most and the thing he hated most, so he lost his temper.
"Do you still care about what other people think?" Shirley knew that if Jonathan cared about what
others thought of him, he wouldn't have the chance to run the Ling Group.
Thinking of what he had struggled for when he was young, Jonathan was a little proud of himself. He
snorted, "Humph. How could this be compared to the feeling of being admired! I'm just fighting! What's
he doing? Corruption! "
"What are you talking about! If you don't want this granddaughter, I want her! The Ling Family can
afford to raise such a little girl! " Shirley also got a little angry.
Hearing that the tone of his wife changed, Jonathan found himself in a dilemma, "why do you say that! I
didn't mean that! "
As for James, he had been used to the way the old couple got along with each other, so he just stood
aside and watched coldly.
"I don't care about what other people think of me. I'll raise Lillias and bring her to the Ling Family
today!" Shirley said in an unquestionable tone.
James didn't care what other people think, but when it came to Lily, he had to take care of it. And Lily
wasn't his real daughter, he didn't admit anything, it was all their guess.
He said slowly with a calm face, "you two needn't quarrel any more. She is at my house, which is more
comfortable than the Ling Family."
Seeing the angry look on Shirley's face, Jonathan swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue
before he could retort.
"Okay, I'll let her live with you for the time being. After all, she is kind of familiar with your house. When
we have time, we can visit her. We can gradually get familiar with her. No hurry. " Shirley liked Lily, let
Lily stay with James. This would not frighten the children, and her husband would not be too angry.
'Lillias looks young, not tall, and she has a childish face. But does she really look that young?' James
thought? Why do they think Lily is his own daughter? They're only twelve years apart. What makes
them think that?
Things were so amazing.'
