Chapter 202
“Mr. Grant, please don’t scare me,” Charles said as his voice trembled slightly.
After Matthew’s reminder, he began to recall various details from Owen’s actions, which indeed seemed suspicious.
In addition to Matthew’s points, Charles remembered that when Matthew suggested that Sarah might not be dead, Owen not only wasn’t comforted but firmly asserted that Sarah was dead and his tone didn’t reflect the concern of a person searching for his niece,
Charles wondered, “How could this be? What does he want to do?”
Mathew’s expression remained calm and his gaze cool as always. “Wealthy families have always been like this and there’s nothing ridiculous about
To outsiders, after William’s passing, Owen appeared to be supporting the entire Anderson family. However, in reality, Owen lacked the ability and the one truly supporting the family was Olivia. It was normal for Owen to harbor ulterior motives so that the vast Anderson family estate would eventually fall to him.
However, with Olivia’s advanced age and fragile health, the Anderson family’s business would sooner or later belong to Owen and is didn’t make sense for him to resort to underhanded methods.
Nearby, the butler and other Anderson family servants hadn’t gone far so Charles lowered his voice, reluctant to say more. He fell deeply unsettled by the situation, thinking that Owen seemed far more complex than he appeared.
Then, 3
Mr. Grant, do you think. Miss Sarah is dead as Mr. Owen said, or could there be something hidden!”
It was obvious that Owen had hidden some things, and perlups even this incident was fabricated
If that was the case, Sarah might still be alive.
Upon hearing this, Mathew’s eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze turned inscrutable. He absentmindedly rubbed the engagement ring on his left ring finger and the atmosphere in the car was eerie,
Then, he leaned back in his seat with his long legs crossed. Charles thought that Matthew was going to reveal some secrets from those wealthy families and leaned in, but Matthew’s lips twitched faintly and said, “Enough talk, let’s go home,”
Charles pleaded, “No, Mr. Grant…”
Manhew i threatened him. “Say one more word and your year–end bonus is docked by 2 thousand dollars.”
Charles was speechless, wondering if Matthew was a true devil..
However, he could only hold his curiosity back, not content that Manew had purposely kept him in suspense when he was eager to hear more. Mathew didn’t deny the possibility of Sarah still being alive, but he wasn’t interested in delving further.
He was from the Grant family, and the affairs of the Anderson Family were none of his concem. Sull out of respect, Olivia was just like her grandmother and if Owen dared to harm her, Matthew had a hundred ways to make him regret it.
Lost in thought, the scenery y outside the car windows retreated. When Matthew snapped back to reality, he noticed a familiar landscape and frowned slightly, asking, “Why are we heading this way?”
Even if he had amnesia, he would recognize the road back to the Grant Manor
Matthew’s displeasure was evident in his voice, which puzzled Charles. “Mr. Grant, didn’t you just say we were going home?
Matthew was slightly stunned.
Indeed, whenever he said “home” in the past, it referred to the Grand Manor, But just now, he intended to return to Slotmond Estate, yet be automatically said “home.” It turned out that subconsciously, he had already treated the house where he and Valerie lived as home.
The feeling was strange to him.
Afraid of angering Matthew and leading to a deduced bonus, Charles asked cautiously, “Mr. Grant, should we drive back to Slotmond Estate?
