Matthew was busy until noon.
Charles knocked on the door and entered. Mr. Grant, do you need me to order food for you today?”
Matthew thought of the food from yesterday and sui
sciously frowned. As he was about to refuse, he suddenly received a call from Sophia, “Grandma?”
“Matthew, I’m tired from shopping. I happen to be near your office. Have lunch with me. Hurry up. I’m starving. Don’t make me wait too long.” Afraid Matthew would reject her, Sophia said the name of the restaurant and quickly hung up.
Matthew frowned. Although it sounded like a lunch invitation, Sophia clearly had ulterior motives.
Recalling Sophia’s call last night saying she wanted to introduce a girl to him, Matthew had a bad feeling.
In fact, Matthew’s guess was right. Sophia said that it was near his company, and it was indeed nearby. The restaurant was not far from Noria Tower. It was so close that one could see the main entrance of Noria Group’s building when they looked
up.
After hanging up, Sophia put her phone in her pocket. Then, she put on a smile. and opened the glass door of the restaurant. She looked at Valerie, who was sitting in the corner.
Afraid that Valerie would suspect the call, Sophia chuckled and said, “My husband is so fussy. I have to report to him when I shop and eat. How annoying.”
Hearing Sophia’s words, Valerie thought that it was Nolan calling. Thinking of Nolan’s kind voice on the phone yesterday, Valerie smiled. “He is concerned about you. You should be happy.”
“Sure. I’m happy,” Sophia mumbled and asked the waiter to bring the menu over and place it in front of Valerie. “Come, Val, what do you like to eat? It’s my treat today.
Sophia smiled warmly. Valerie did not notice there was a glint in her smiling eyes.

However, Matthew could not tell Charles about this.
Matthew glanced at Charles coldly. “If you’re so free, go to the suburbs and deli a document.”
There was only one Grant family who lived in the suburbs. It was Matthew’s un Lincoln’s family. Fred was the most difficult to deal with in particular. Whoever went would almost be skinned alive. Charles immediately made a face, coming short of hugging Matthew’s thigh and wailing, “Mr. Grant, show mercy.”
Matthew coldly retracted his gaze and ignored Charles. However, after being disturbed by Charles, he temporarily put Valerie to the back of his mind and focused on the matter at hand.
On the surface, Matthew seemed to have all the say in the Grant family, but hi Uncle Lincoln’s family still had a lot of power and connections in Noria Group Although they had retired now, they would not let it go, especially Fred…
Matthew had not forgotten the last time Fred drugged him. Sooner or later, h would find an opportunity to make Fred suffer the consequences of his action
