Chapter 175 Come to Apologize
At half past six in the morning, the Thomas Family was still quiet.
Granny Thomas was getting on in her years and didn’t have much time to sleep. She woke up early and sat in the living room to drink tea.
The housekeeper said, “Granny Thomas, Leon is here.”
When Granny Thomas heard the name ‘Leon,’ she felt annoyed.
“What is he doing here? He’s just a villain intoxicated by success. He wants to show off before us and let him go!”
The housekeeper answered and left.
After a while, he returned and said, “Leon said he won’t leave. He wants to see Mr. Thomas.”
“Ignore him!” Granny Thomas said flatly.
Leon was seated in his car in front of the Thomas villa’s gates, staring intently at the gates.
Mrs. Collins sat aside with a gloomy face.
Leon gritted his teeth and said, “It seems to be true from the attitude of the Thomas Family!”
Mrs. Collins comforted him, “Hubby, don’t worry. The Thomas Family doesn’t know the value of that piece of land. Otherwise, why would they be willing to sell it to the Jovano Group and the Grant Group?”
“That’s right. We have to wait!”
Mrs. Collins thought for a moment and said, “Since we are here to apologize, if we have been sitting in the car all the time, it seems our sincerity is not enough. Palmer may not be willing to see you now.”
“Then what should we do?”
“Get out of the car. We’ll wait there!”
It was the weekend, and the Thomas Family was on holiday.
At seven o’clock in the morning, Karim got up first. He drank a glass of milk and ran to the gym.
At 8:30 p. m., Palmer, his wife, and Joanna got up.
Joanna saw that Hellen and Everet had not yet gotten up, so she frowned and said, “The two of them are so lazy. I’ll go and call them!”
Granny Thomas smiled and said, “Why should you wake them up? They are still young and have to deal with the Jovano Group, a big company. It’s rare for them to come out. Let them sleep more.”
Violeta said, “Karlen hasn’t gotten up yet. I’ll ask Karim to call her.”
Karim was called out from the gym. “Tell your sister to get up.”
As a result, Karlen, Everet, and Hellen were all woken up one after the other.
They rubbed their sleepy eyes and went to the living room in pajamas.
Granny Thomas smiled as she looked at the group of children. She felt happy and said, “Look at you, sleepy kids.”
Karlen said, “Granny, we’re all grown-ups. How can you talk about us like children?”
Hellen laughed from the side. They weren’t just adults. These people in the room were all quite influential.
Karim was already a superstar in the entertainment industry.
Hellen’s elder brother, Everet, was in charge of the Jovano Group, while Hellen had divorced.
The youngest Karlen had already gone to college. However, in their granny’s eyes, they would always be children and lovely.
The housekeeper walked out from the side and said with a smile, “Granny Thomas, breakfast is ready.”
They moved to the restaurant for breakfast.
Granny Thomas looked at the table full of people and couldn’t stop smiling. “If only the house was so lively every day.”
Joanna was a little distressed. “Mom, I’ll come back more often to accompany you in the future.”
“Accompany me?” Granny Thomas glanced at Joanna. “Now you know how to be filial. Back then, I told you not to marry into Tempe City. You’re seeking death at home!”
Hearing this gossip, Hellen immediately grew excited. “Granny, my mother tried to commit suicide for my dad?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Palmer smiled and said, “Your dad was amazing then. He came to Hail City Filiale to deal with something, but he climbed over the wall to visit your mother daily.”
Joanna immediately went to scold her younger brother. “Shut up. What nonsense are you talking about!”
Everyone at the table was laughing.
Karlen listened to the gossip of the Jovano family and looked at her parents curiously. “Dad, how did you get my mother?”
Violeta held her chopsticks and said with a gentle smile, “Karlen, how are your studies recently? I heard you knew Taylor Grant and even fought with her at school?”
Karlen lowered her head and remained silent.
Palmer and Karim raised their heads simultaneously and looked at Karlen sternly.
“Fight?”
“You have really some ability!”
Hellen gave her aunt an admiring glance.
When the breakfast was almost finished, the housekeeper came in again.
He looked hesitant and said, “Granny Thomas, Leon is still unwilling to leave. He and his wife have been waiting at the gate.”
Palmer had an instinctive aversion towards the Collins family. The people were enjoying themselves, and their faces fell when they heard Leon’s name.
Granny Thomas slammed her chopsticks. “What is he trying to do?”
Palmer frowned. “Mom, what’s going on?”
“I didn’t let them call you when you were sleeping.” Granny Thomas barked, “Leon, he came to our house at six o’clock and insisted on seeing you. I asked the housekeeper to stop him at the door, but I didn’t expect him to not leave!”
Hellen drank a spoonful of porridge, her eyes flashing slightly.
Palmer’s expression was indifferent. He turned to look at the housekeeper. “Mr. Whelan, did he say anything?”
“He didn’t say anything. He only said that he wanted to see you. They want to apologize to you and did not mention anything specific.”
Violeta sneered. “He’s apologizing for a business worth 4. 5 billion dollars? I don’t think Leon is such a person. He was making trouble at Mom’s birthday party a few days ago.”
Joanna also sneered. “The weasel gives the chicken a New Year’s greetings; let him go!”
The housekeeper smiled bitterly. “The first time Granny Thomas asked him to get out, I also conveyed to him the message that he was unwilling to go.”
Granny Thomas growled, “Then let him stand!”
Hellen continued to eat.
After breakfast, the Thomas Family finally gathered together and stayed in the living room.
While Palmer was chatting with Granny Thomas, Violeta and Joanna sat together and discussed something in low voices.
Hellen glanced at them; Karim was reprimanding Karlen.
Only Hellen and his big brother were free.
Hellen called Everet over as he played electronic games on the gamepad.
“Everet, come here. I have something to tell you.”
Everet came over and asked obediently, “What’s wrong?”
Hellen lowered his voice. “I know what Leon is here for.”
Hellen whispered to him everything about Leon.
Everet lowered his voice. “Really? There’s really a gold mine underground!”
Hellen chortled. “Of course.”
“Then hurry up and tell granny!”
Hellen pressed Everet down.
It was eleven o’clock at noon. Although it was early autumn, the sun was still hot.
Granny Thomas thought of something and called the housekeeper. “Leon has left, hasn’t he?”
Armon smiled bitterly and said, “No, I don’t know where their willpower comes from. The couple is standing in the sun and about to faint. Granny Thomas, it’s not a good thing. Although no one would see them standing there, what if they really faint in front of our door?”
Hellen put down the game console and rubbed her belly as she stood up. “Palmer, go see Leon. It’s ok if they faint from the sun, but if they die in front of our door, it’ll be too unlucky.”
Palmer’s face darkened. “Okay, let them in. Don’t let them come to the main building. Let them wait in the small building on the side.”
“Okay,” Armon replied.
Everet pulls Hellen. Hellen quietly shakes her head.
Violeta noticed their actions, but she didn’t say anything.
