Chapter 164


    Susan returned to the birthday banquet suspiciously.


    “What did Carl do? Why do you look so worried?” Ben asked.


    “He didn’t do anything.” Susan looked at the bright smile of Charlie and couldn’t help but say,


    “Grandpa, it’s rare for you to be so happy. I hope that the birthday party will go smoothly.”


    “Don’t worry.” Ben nodded.


    Although Ben was fully prepared, Susan was still worried.


    However, what happened next proved that her worries were unnecessary.


    Everything went smoothly, including the gifting of the birthday gift, the performance, and the banquet.


    There was no mistake at all.


    Everyone was trying their best to tter Charlie.


    It was rare for Charlie to be in a good mood. He was happy from beginning to end.


    Finally, the birthday banquet was over.


    The guests began to leave one after another.


    Susan let out a long sigh of relief.


    It seemed that it was really just a coincidence.


    She was thinking too much.


    “Let’s go. What are you looking at?” In the corner, Yana pulled Timothy with a mocking expression.


    Timothy calmly withdrew his gaze. “Don’t talk nonsense. I wasn’t looking at anything.”


    Yana sneered. “Why are you pretending in front of me? Do you dare to say that you’re not staring at


    Susan?”


    Timothy frowned. “Watch your mouth. Don’t ruin her reputation.”


    Yana looked even more sarcastic.


    Timothy looked at Yana and couldn’t help but smile. “Yana, I heard that you were the daughter–inw


    of the Landor family chosen by Charlie in the beginning?”


    Yana narrowed his eyes. “So, you should be grateful that I gave up someone like Ben for you!”


    “Is that so?” Timothy sneered. “Then why do I remember that when Ben exposed that his scars were


    fake, you gnashed your teeth all day long and said that you regretted it, even in your dreams?”


    Yana immediately red at Timothy. “Shouldn’t I have regretted it? If I had known that your were such


    an irresponsible scumbag, I wouldn’t have married you at that time.”


    “Remember, I didn’t want to marry you back then. You were the one who insisted on marrying me,”


    Timothy said coldly.


    “Okay, Timothy. I was pregnant at that time. You don’t want to marry because you don’t want to take


    responsibility, is that right?”


    “Yana, you have to speak with conscience. If you hadn’t deceived me first…”


    The two of them began to quarrel just like that.


    The maid next to her kept ncing at her.


    Jane hurried over and grabbed Yana. “All right, all right, Yana, let’s go home. Don’t make a


    fuss here.”


    Carl looked at Timothy with a dignified face. “Timothy, I don’t want to criticize you, but Yana is pregnant.


    Can’t you give in to her?”


    Timothy and Yana nced at each other with detest, and they didn’t continue arguing.


    He was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again.


    Carl and Jane sent them to the door of their house.


    Chapter 164


    Carl pulled Yana aside and said earnestly, “Yana, I know that you are unwilling to see your sister live a


    good life. But, people have their fates. You are the favorite daughter of us. Although you are anxious


    now, everything will go smoothly in the future. As for your sister, although she is standing well now, you


    don’t know when she will fall down.”


    “Got it, got it,” Yana replied impatiently.


    Carl looked at her with a meaningful smile and did not say anything.


    After Mr. and Mrs. Miller left, Timothy frowned and asked, “What did your father tell you?”


    “It’s none of your business.” Yana sneered.


    Timothy had a strange look in his eyes.


    No one knew that he had actually learned a little lip–reading when doing charity work.


    Just now, he vaguely saw that Carl seemed to be saying that Susan would fall?


    The strangest thing was that Carl said it very firmly.


    It didn’t seem to be an angry sentence at all.


    It felt as if he knew something.


    Could it be…


    Susan would be in trouble?


    Timothy quickly shook his head and denied this guess.


    With Ben by her side, nothing could happen to Susan.


    He must be worrying for nothing.


    At night, in the Landor family.


    After sending off all the guests, only Charlie was left, surrounded by the members of the Landor family.


    Charlie seemed to be in a good mood, and a smile appeared on his face from time to time.


    Isabe took the opportunity to tug at the sleeve of Leo.


    Leo remembered what Isabe had said before and said with a smile, “Grandpa, althought my brother


    and I have split up, it’s rare for us to have such a good day today. Why don’t we stay here tonight?”


    In fact, Leo didn’t want to please Charlie at all.


    After all, he was so biased.


    Now that he had Marc in his hands, he could immediately be the second Storm Group, and there was


    no need for him to rely on others to make a living.


    But Isabe was right.


    She said that no one would dislike having more money.


    Although the family had been divided, there was still arge amount of assets under


    Charlie’s name.


    When Charlie passed away, Leo thought he and Penelope should still have more than half


    of the assets.


    But if Charlie waspletely deceived by Ben, they wouldn’t have a share of the huge sum


    of money.


    Leo deeply agreed, so he listened to Isabe’s advice and decided to stay. He wanted to build a good


    rtionship with Charlie so that he would not forget him.

    Charlie was in a good mood, so he found Leo more pleasing to the eye. He said with a smile, “Okay,


    you can stay here tonight. Ben, what do you think?”


    Ben naturally wouldn’t disappoint Charlie.


    The matter of the three of them staying overnight was settled.


    Charlie smiled even more brightly. He pulled Ben with one hand and Leo with the other and said, “The


    two of you,e with me to the study. We’ll have a good chat.”


    “Go, go, go,” Penelope said in a hurry.


    Chapter 164


    She couldn’t wait for Leo and Charlie to get closer.


    “Susan, Penelope and Isabe are guests now. Please take care of them.” Charlie nced at Penelope


    Landor and added.


    He was afraid that Penelope would make trouble, so he emphasized their identities as of the host and


    guest in advance.


    “I will,” Susan said with a smile.


    On the other hand, Penelope, who was regarded as a guest, looked a little gloomy, but she didn’t say


    anything.


    After Charlie left, Penelope stood up and looked sideways at Susan. “I’ve lived here for more than 20


    years. You don’t have to take care of me. I’ll just sleep in my old room.”


    “I’m afraid not,” said Susan calmly.


    “What do you mean?” Penelope suddenly became angry.


    “Penelope, your room is one of the best in the vi. Grandpa has asked the workers to transform your


    room into a baby’s room,” Susan told the truth.


    Some time ago, Charlie had felt that Susan was about to give birth to a baby, so he had been so


    excited that he had even prepared a baby’s room for her.


    “Susan! Don’t go too far. That’s my room. How dare you use it as a baby’s room?” Penelope didn’t think


    so. She thought that Susan deliberately made things difficult for her, so she couldn’t help screaming.


    Susan was stunned for a moment and then said, “Don’t worry, Penelope. We’ve thoroughly disinfected


    the whole ce before the renovation.”


    Penelope was so angry that she almost fainted.


    Did Susan mean that the ce she had lived in was dirty?


    She had to disinfect it thoroughly before they could use it?
