Chapter 407: Someone Always Wants to Tear Apart Mr. Farrell and Tina
Lysander looked on coldly.
“Spit it out.” He had no time for Orson’s nonsense.
Orson paused for a moment, then said, “I heard that you did it to save Tina. My brother is now with Tina in the hospital, cooing over each other, they might have even kissed.”
Lysander abruptly sat up, nearly reopening his wound, “What did you say! How old is my Tina, has Jared no shame!”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“What do you mean ‘my brother has no shame’? It’s your Tina who is all over him!” Orson’s face darkened immediately.
“You’re talking nonsense.” Lysander cursed angrily.
“Not as much as you!” Orson coldly retorted.
Lysander took a breath and said coldly, “What exactly do you want to tell me?”
Orson looked back at the closed door of the hospital room, made sure no one was there, and even leaned forward slightly, as if to whisper in Lysander’s ear.
Lysander disdainfully pushed him away, “There’s just the two of us here, just say it.”
“You don’t want Tina to be with my brother, and neither do I. How about we work together?” Orson was no longer secretive; he had thought about this for a while.
Lysander’s willingness to risk his life for Tina clearly meant his feelings were serious.
This was a perfect opportunity to drive Jared and Tina apart.
Lysander eyed Orson, “How would we cooperate?”
Orson whispered to Lysander for a while, until Hawk entered with a doctor.
Seeing Orson, Hawk’s expression was as surprised as Edward’s and others before him.
“Mr. Farrell, you came to see Lysander? Thank you for your concern,” Hawk said warmly.
With Hawk back, Orson could no longer stay, but he didn’t want to leave awkwardly.
He hooked Lysander’s shoulder, “No need to be so formal, uncle, we’re all brothers here!”
Lysander disdainfully pushed him away, “Just go.”
Orson withdrew his hand, giving Lysander several meaningful looks.
Don’t forget our plan!
Lysander heaved a deep sigh, suddenly wondering if cooperating with him was a bit too rash.
“Uncle, I’ll be going now,” Orson waved goodbye and left Lysander’s hospital room.
After he left, the doctor examined Lysander thoroughly and, finding nothing amiss, Hawk finally relaxed.
He sat beside the hospital bed, looking at his son with concern, “Don’t be so reckless in the future. What if something really happened?”
“It’s what you said, our Emerson family must ensure Tina’s safety; that’s the priority.”
Lysander was indifferent, seeing his relationship with his father more as a means to an end.
He was using him to become the heir to the Emerson family, gaining the resources needed to compete with Jared.
Hawk’s brow furrowed, “It’s not your place to protect her anymore; no more dangerous stunts.”
Lysander didn’t argue further, knowing he would never heed Hawk’s words.
“Next month, isn’t it Logan’s big birthday?” Lysander changed the subject.
Hawk calmed down a bit, “Yes, what about it?”
“Take me with you.” A subtle gleam flickered in Lysander’s eyes.
Hawk was taken aback, “You want to go?”
“Yes, I can’t always be stuck in school, you’ve said connections are most important.” Lysander eyed Hawk, “Or do you think my status as an illegitimate child isn’t suitable to accompany you to such an important event?”
Logan’s birthday was a grand annual affair for the Farrell family, an event many would vie to attend.
But, the Farrell family only invited those from Ashbury who were notable and worthy of mention.
Hawk was always on the invitation list, and many company deals were completed at the longevity banquet.
Lysander had never been interested before, but this time he took the initiative to attend, which surprised and pleased Hawk. “I didn’t mean that, Lysander. I’m happy you want to go to the celebration.”
After Lysander received Hawk’s consent, he spoke no further and closed his eyes to rest.
Hawk had wanted to have a good chat with Lysander, but seeing him like this, he also closed his mouth.
He knew that his son was not going to forgive him easily.
Elsewhere.
Jared had only been in the hospital for two days before he was discharged. If it hadn’t been for Tina’s prohibition, he would have left the same day.
Nathan still needed to recuperate. Although Tina had reattached his leg, a severe injury takes a hundred days to heal properly to avoid future complications, so rest was essential.
But his work couldn’t stop, and the person who took over was naturally Hayden.
“I’ll drive! I’ll drive for you? Mr. Farrell, are you short of a driver?” Hayden exploded when he heard about this assignment.
Jared glanced at him indifferently, “What? Haven’t you driven enough before?”
“That’s different!” Hayden retorted furiously, “Before, I didn’t know you had taken Serena, now knowing she’s Serena, you want me to every day…”
He stopped abruptly.
Sit in the car every day and watch them kiss?
He wasn’t so magnanimous!
Not causing trouble like the other seniors was already commendable.
And now he was being asked to drive!
Moreover, according to Nathan, the two kissed frequently in the car, seemingly every time they sat together.
He wasn’t masochistic!
“Oh.” Jared adjusted his cuffs nonchalantly, “Recently, a position opened up in Africa…”
Before he could finish, Hayden shivered, clenched his teeth, and said, “I’ll drive!”
He was really grinding his teeth.
Teeth clattering, yet he had no way to retaliate against Jared.
So be it!
Mr. Farrell wasn’t important!
What mattered was Serena; he would consider it protecting her.
Jared: Thank you!
Hayden took the car keys, smiling at Tina, “Serena, where are we headed?”
Tina rubbed her neck, “Whispering Pines.”
“Alright!” Hayden started the car and stopped at Whispering Pines.
Jared looked at Hayden disdainfully.
After stopping, Hayden realized, “Serena, what made you think of returning to Whispering Pines?”
“Talkative,” Tina muttered disdainfully.
Hayden quickly shut up, knowing well that if he didn’t, Serena might silence him with silver needles.
Tina got out of the car, and along with Jared, entered Whispering Pines, with Hayden following, twirling the car keys.
Pushing open the door, Griffin and Juliet were watching the first episode of a variety show, laughing uncontrollably at a video clip of Vance and Ava, two sisters, fighting.
“Tina, you’re back! Come watch, our variety show is airing!” Juliet said, laughing.
Tina glanced at her, lips pursed. “Where’s your dad?”
Today, more hurt was inevitable!
Seeing Tina’s expression, Juliet and Griffin instantly lost their smiles.
Such an expression was last seen on the day of Annabelle’s incident.
Juliet stood up, “My dad? He’s still at the office, did something happen?”
