Chapter 29 The First Encounter with Grandpa Edison
Chapter 29 The First Encounter with Grandpa Edison
Stefan couldn't help clenching his fists, "Since grandpa is here, of course I need to go back home. Besides, if I am not mistaken, I should inherit the mansion."
When hearing that, Frank looked pale. He glared at Stefan and sneered, "Come on, it just a mansion. It's okay, Stefan. Tell me. Do you have anything else you want? After all, you are a cripple. I should suffice all your needs."
When seeing they arguing, Emmeline felt so sorry for Stefan. She was wondering that perhaps Stefan wouldn't be easily humiliated if he could stand up again.
She glared at Frank with disdain shown in her eyes, which rendered Frank a bit stunned.
Emmeline simply ignored him and then pushed Stefan into the elevator.
When the door was closing, Emmeline raised her head and happened to see that Frank was smiling weirdly.
Emmeline felt even more sorry for Stefan when seeing his emotionless face. She patted his shoulder gently, "Don't worry. You will definitely stand up one day!"
Stefan was a bit surprised and then he seemed to feel better, 'Come on, you are about to face a challenge now. But you still care about me?'
The dinner was soon finished under the dignity of Edison.
After dinner, Emmeline pushed Stefan out for a walk. When they just reached the door, Edison looked at her, "Anayah, come over to my study." Then he grabbed her hand.
Emmeline was a bit stunned. Before she could utter, Stefan hurried to say, "Grandpa, can't you wait for a few more days? She still needs time to get herself familiar to the new environment." After saying that,
he grabbed her hand.
When seeing that Stefan cared about her so much, Edison felt pain in his heart, 'Boy, don't you know that your wife is actually a fake one?'
Of course, Edison would do his best to investigate the whole thing. If it was the Campbell Family's idea to make her the substitute of Anayah, he would definitely eliminate Nicholas.
"Stefan, don't worry. I just want to have a talk to Anayah. I won't put her in pickle." Edison turned around to go upstairs. Emmeline patted Stefan's hand and said, "I am okay. I will be back soon."
Before Stefan could stop her, Emmeline had already followed Edison upstairs.
While Frank, who was sitting on the couch, couldn't help smiling mockingly.
Frank was about to get up to go upstairs, but Stefan suddenly stopped him.
"Frank, would you please take me out for a walk if you can?"
Frank paused and turned around with a smile, "Okay, I am glad to."
They went beside the magnolia tree again. As it was April, the night was a bit chilling.
"I still remembered you made your wheelchair lose control under the tree last time and you made yourself on the ground. Because of that, grandpa was really mad at me. Stefan, I didn't expect that you would be so scheming. You made grandpa the witness and he even gave me a final warning, claiming that I would lose the heirship of the president of the Byrne Group if I dared to hurt you again. He really said so! But I don't think there will be anyone else who could be qualified enough to inherit the group!"
"Stefan, you are just a cripple. Even if grandpa wanted to make you the inheritor, you would never be qualified enough!" Frank laughed out crazily.
But Stefan still remained emotionless. He just casually looked at the window of the study on the second floor.
"Oh, really? You'd better seize everything you have now. It hurt when you fall from the top!" Stefan said casually.
"What do you mean?" Frank walked over to grab him on the collar.
Stefan grabbed his wrist hard, which rendered Frank so painful that he felt like his wrist being broken. He looked at Stefan with horror.
Under the dusk, Stefan looked cold as usual. He just grabbed his wrist hard and then tightened his grip. He stared at Frank, "What if I tell grandpa that my wife is a fake one? Do you think he will still make you the inheritor of the president?"
"Then, grandpa will definitely banish you and destroy the Campbell Family! Besides, he will make your real girlfriend marry me again! Oh, perhaps now he has already known the truth that you conspired with the Campbell Family to make another girl the substitute of Anayah. And it was you who sent the fake Anayah to the island! You can imagine how mad grandpa would be!"
After saying that, he threw away Frank's hand.
As hard as the grip was, Frank felt like his wrist being numb. When hearing that, he felt like being shocked by a bolt from the blue.
He even happened to bump into the tree because of Stefan's push.
"What did you say? Impossible! How did you know that? Grandpa will never know that! Stefan, I know you are so embarrassed that you are totally pissed off because Anayah didn't even marry you! What a
pitiful cripple! You actually married a fake one! Just live with her for the rest of your life! You don't deserve to marry Anayah!"
Frank lowered his head to check his own wrist, which went pale because of the hard grip of Stefan. When he was about to walk over to kick the wheelchair upside down, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the study on the second floor.
Stefan hurried to roll his wheelchair towards the mansion. He went into the elevator and reached the door of the study. Then he knocked the door.
Frank was standing still in the yard. Then he took out his phone to dial a number.
Ten minutes ago, Emmeline followed Edison into the study, the decoration of which was aristocratic. The furniture inside was made of camphorwood. All shelves were filled with books.
As soon as she walked in, she felt a bit suffocated. Edison rested himself on the chair and looked at her, who stood in the middle of the study. She looked really pure just like the blue sky.
Edison was wondering who this pure girl was?
Though Emmeline managed to stay calm, she was actually overwhelmed with panic. She frowned and said, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
Edison looked at her and then took a piece of file on the desk, "Anayah, I didn't offer you any gift when you married Stefan. Here are the 5% shares of the Byrne Group. You can sign on it and get it. Just make it a wedding gift for you."
Edison cut straight into the topic. Emmeline looked the file with her eyes wide opened. Then she raised her head to look at this benign-looking old man, feeling guilty.
She was wondering if she should tell him that she was not Anayah, but her sister.
She didn't want to lie to him. After all, she chose to marry Stefan just to make it a return for the Campbell Family.
"Well…grandpa, I can't. I don't want any shares!"
Of course she wouldn't take the shares. Perhaps she would leave soon.
Edison stared at her, "Why not? It belongs to you! Every girl who marries the boy of my family would be given the shares of the Byrne Group. And you are no exception!"
Emmeline raised her head to look at him. While Edison still nodded with a smile, "Just sign your name! Live a happy life with Stefan. He lost his legs and I have nothing else for him. Offering him a peaceful life is all I could do." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
When hearing that, Emmeline looked at him and then shifted her gaze outside the window, looking sad.
