Chapter 225 – At the top of your game
“Brother, let’s eat first.” How could Jair not read Miller’s mind? He coughed and ordered the maid to serve the food.
Sherry had just lifted her chopsticks when a maid removed her plate and brought up a serving of cod, and then several later plates of dishes she loved.
She blinked, was she overthinking it? Even if it’s a coincidence, it’s too much of a coincidence.
Without waiting for her to think more, Nola smiled gently next to her, “What a coincidence, all my favorites today.”
Sherry hid the thoughts in her eyes and slowly moved her chopsticks.
She didn’t notice Miller’s gaze with Jair, but Edward, sitting next to her, felt very clearly that the Garcia family elders were slowly approaching Sherry in their own way.
In order for her to return to the Seattle Garcia Group in the future, as for Nola, it was just a pawn they threw out to test the road, and it was Nola who took the initiative to come up anyway.
Seeing Sherry eat well, Miller was in a happy mood.
But then, Nola had to say something unpleasant.
“Uncle, I’ll go with Mom for a physical tomorrow, and I’ll take care of her.” Nola smiled softly, trying to show that she had put a lot of thought into Beinean.
Sherry paused in her chopsticks.
With no expression on his face, he continued to eat.
“No, you hurry up and get your resignation from Zillions Group done.” Jair interjected; his tone already heavy.
Nola forced down the aggression, “But, I want to …”
She wanted to be more circumspect, but when she saw Jair’s face, she swallowed those words.
Nola had no choice but to hang her head and eat quietly. At this dinner, they would talk to Ryan from time to time about the company, and no one paid any attention to her.
“Mr. Jair, Prof. Miller, thank you for your hospitality for intruding today.” Sherry nodded slightly.
“The scare you got today was all because they didn’t handle it properly, so if there’s a situation like this again in the future, you can just tell me.” Jair just put the word out here.
If someone in the company dares to bully Sherry, he will never let up.
Then, added a sentence, “Since you are an employee of Sunion Group, you can’t be made to work in fear.”
He, Jair, has always been clear in his punishments.
Sherry excelled in the KDL program, and it makes sense that the company would take special care of her.
“Thank you Mr. Jair.”
“Ryan, have your driver drop her off.” Jair turned back is a sentence, then glanced at the next pestle Edward, before still think he is young and promising, very responsible, now know Sherry’s existence, the more he looked at Edward, the more unpleasant.
Everywhere is not good.
Edward knows how to read people’s minds and can see that he is not welcome, and instantly coughed.
“Then I won’t bother.” He then sidled away.
There is a line of sight behind him that has been quietly following him.
Ryan closed the door and saw Nola standing there fondly, he snickered and beckoned, “Come here, I’ll show you something.”
“Me?”
Nola was a little confused.
She knew very well how badly Ryan treated her before.
But if she can bring her relationship with him closer, she is willing to try.
So Nola followed Ryan to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, “What’s wrong?”
Ryan lifted his chin and motioned her to look outside, “Don’t you care about Edward? Even if you are the daughter of Garcia Group, in his heart, you are still no better than an employee of Zillions Group.”
Nola looked over only to see Sherry getting into Edward’s car!
“Didn’t Uncle Junior ask your driver to drop her off? How do you …”
“Heh.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Ryan sneered and spoke, “What do you care?”
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Nola, “It’s been a week since you entered this home and I’ve been watching your every move, are you really my aunt’s daughter?”
Snap.
Nola’s ankle knocked against the corner of the solid wood table and the pain hit her, causing her to suck in a breath.
The corners of the eyes are covered with a layer of inky fog.
“Why, you just don’t believe me? Rather trust Sherry than me?” She spoke with a few more tears.
“Don’t put on this crybaby face in front of me, it’s annoying to watch.” Ryan frowned.
He’ll keep an eye on her.
As long as she has the slightest out-of-the-ordinary behavior, he will immediately kick her out of the house.
The warning in Ryan’s eyes was so obvious that Nola saw it clearly, she bit the corner of her lip, “I know it’s futile for me to say anything now, time will tell.”
“You better, or you’ll know what happens when you cheat the Seattle Garcia Group.”
Ryan threw down this sentence, turned around and went upstairs.
Nola didn’t wait to get back to her senses before she heard Dana’s voice urging from beside her, “Little Miss, it’s time for you to go to your room.”
Her stomach was full of anger with no place to vent it.
Directly yelled, “What are you, even you can teach me a lesson?”
Her voice was a low growl from deep in her throat, and her whole face was spread with anger, where there was still half the manners of a young lady.
Dana was first stunned, then laughed disdainfully, “When you were not yet born, I was serving the lady in Garcia family, you say, what am I?”
Nola didn’t think even this old maid would dare to disregard her.
Raise your hand to throw the other side a slap.
Which I didn’t know before I struck, I was caught off guard by Dana’s eyes, which were cloudy and drenched with a hint of sarcasm, “Since you want to live in this house, you have to learn the rules of this house.”
Apparently Mr. and Mrs. David had not taught her at all before how to make a place in the extended family.
Nola could not understand the deeper meaning of her words, only that she was insulting herself.
Grunted fiercely and walked away carrying her skirt.
Dana sneered and shook her head, gathering up the table settings in the living room and turning off the main light.
The entire mansion is plunged into dimness while a conspiracy is quietly taking place.
…
Sherry didn’t want to travel with Edward either.
But Ryan’s car ran out of gas just as Edward stepped out, and looked at her deeply, “We seem to have things to talk about.”
Sherry was confused as he took the car.
In the study on the second floor, Miller and Jair watched the scene at the same time, “Brother, can that boy Edward really keep his promise? He took your most precious medical paper, if …”
Miller picked up the slack.
“For so many years, the Garcia family really owes him, and originally I thought, as a compensation, to give him that paper, he can do so much for that girl, also shows that he has love and righteousness.”
“If he were really a man of love, he wouldn’t have been sending people to secretly keep an eye on the Garcia family. I think, that boy’s idea is not that simple, but he has confessed that he will not resume the marriage contract, in the future, even if he has wrong thoughts about Sherry, we can still hold him.”
Jair said this and added on second thought, “David’s company is about to go bankrupt, and I think they’ll be making a move soon.”
“Hold them steady for now, I’ll take Beinean for a pre-surgery physical tomorrow and operate as soon as conditions allow.”
That is, Nola’s only remaining value to the Garcia family.
