Chapter 42


    Chapter 42 I’m So Disappointed


    There were two possible meanings to this sentence, but either way, it was an insult to


    Benjamin.


    Upon hearing the butler’s words, Benjamin hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to withdraw his


    hand or not. After a moment of silence, he forced a smile and agreed, You’re right. The water in


    restaurants may be unclean, and we can’t see it.”


    -Harold ignored him.


    Ava mustered up the courage to approach Harold and spoke, “Grandpa Harold, my father mentioned


    that you were nning to bring your granddaughter. I have a gift prepared for her, but I’m uncertain if it


    will be to her liking.”


    She ced a set of five-figure skincare products on the table, eagerly trying to please


    Harold.


    “My granddaughter had matters to attend to and couldn’t make it,” Harold replied.


    Ava looked disappointed and said, “I was hoping to meet your granddaughter. I’m sure


    she’s as outstanding as you are.”


    “Of course, she is,” Harold said, stroking his beard. In his opinion, Chloe was the best. After all, she


    won Joseph’s heart and married him at lightning speed. She must possess


    exceptional qualities.


    The waiter knocked on the door and brought out the dishes one by one. The restaurant offered a wide


    variety of delicacies. There were wild-caught tuna, pan-seared foie gras, and even a steaming bowl of


    ck truffle beef stew.


    As Ava nced at the expensive dishes, she became aware of how much her father had spent on this


    spread, but the old man sitting across from her did not seem enticed by it.


    This made her even more anxious.


    However, upon the mention of his granddaughter, he seemed to be slightly more talkative. Ava


    decided to employ the same strategy once again.


    “Grandpa Harold, the desserts here are great. I’ll order one so that you can bring it back to your


    granddaughterter. After all, girls love sweet things.”


    “Yes, yes, my daughter loves the desserts here.” Benjamin rubbed his hands anxiously and asked, “Did


    you receive thepany information I sent to you, Mr. Harold? The plot ofnd I selected will definitely


    soar in value in the next few years. Now’s the

    perfect time to invest in it and use it as a new area to expand ourpany. It’s a risk- free opportunity


    worth considering.”


    As an investor who had taken the initiative to approach them, Harold must have faith in Artron’s


    potential. Generally speaking, the chances of sess were high. However, Benjamin’s gut feelings


    were telling him that the elderly man in front of him was not


    here to discuss business but to cause trouble.


    Harold ignored himpletely and asked, “Your daughter? Which daughter? I heard you have two.


    Why did you only bring one today?”


    “Well…” Benjamin shook his head and sighed, his face showing a hint of


    disappointment and disgust at the mention of Chloe. “The one other is unruly. Let’s don’t talk about


    her.”


    “How is she unruly?” the butler interjected. He sounded puzzled. “Girls are generally well-behaved and


    obedient.”


    At this point, Benjamin began to talk without reservation. He ranted and raved about all the bad things


    Chloe had done, “You don’t know. Not only did she try to steal Ava’s boyfriend, but also hooked up with


    an old man recently. Once she got in that Rolls- Royce, she never came back. It’s disheartening to


    have a daughter like her.”


    “Enough!” Harold mmed his hand on the table in anger and pointed fiercely at Benjamin. “Even if


    your daughter really did intrude on someone else’s family, as her father, you have no right to speak ill of


    her when others criticize her. It’s your responsibility to make sure she doesn’t turn out this way!”


    Most importantly, the man inside that Rolls-Royce was not an old man! It was his grandson!


    He felt that Benjamin was not only stupid but also blind.


    Benjamin was dumbfounded for several minutes and did not understand how their discussion had


    taken this turn.


    Ava was equally scared out of her wits. “Grandpa Harold, please don’t be angry. My dad didn’t mean it.


    He just thinks-”


    “Stop calling me that! I’m not your grandpa!” Harold had always been hot-tempered, and now he was


    too upset to pretend otherwise. He red at Benjamin and said, “I don’t think there’s any need to


    cooperate with a father as irresponsible as you.”


    The butler understood the situation and quickly went to open the door of the private

    room.


    Benjamin and Ava watched in shock as Harold left, their mindspletely nk. “Dad… Did I say


    something wrong?” Ava asked, looking at Benjamin.
