    Chapter 101 The Little Girl From the Orphanage


    In a suburban vi.


    Reina had already been in the emergency room in the basement for more than an hour. before the door


    finally opened.


    One of the two doctors walked out and took off his mask. He said in a low voice, “She is temporarily out


    of danger. Mrs. Garcia is not in good condition. You need to be mentally prepared.”


    Darlene immediately stood up and looked behind him. “Can’t shee out now?”


    The doctor answered, “Wait until the anesthetic wears off. Let’s wait for about half an


    hour.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came down. He approached Gustave and said in a low voice,


    “Mr. Walpole, your father is here. He has something to tell you.”


    Darlene turned around and guessed that she had caused trouble for him. It was almost midnight.


    Gustave’s father shouldn’t be here at this time.


    Gustave’s expression was casual. “It’s fine. I’ll go for a while. You wait here.”


    Darlene did not say much and only nodded.


    Gustave left the basement. When he arrived in the living room, Cassius Walpole, Gustave’s father, was


    already sitting on the sofa. His expression was not good.


    Gustave walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite him. He called out lightly, “Dad.”


    Cassius was obviously suppressing his emotions. He looked upstairs and said, “You brought your mother


    here? Why haven’t you slept sote?”


    They did not talk much. They asionally spoke a few words, and the atmosphere was very awkward.


    Gustave was a little perfunctory. “Yes, I still have some things to do.”


    The servant brought the tea over. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she put down the tea and


    left immediately.


    Cassius looked around again as if he was looking for something. “You had guests?”


    He obviously knew, and Gustave did not hide it. “Mr. Gard and Mr. Connor came not long ago. They


    said that Mr. Gard’s wife was missing and they were here to look for


    her.”


    Cassius said meaningfully, “Mrs. Gard… They have been married for a long time. Now that she is


    gone, of course, they’ll look for her.”


    As he spoke, he changed the topic, “Gustave, you’re never a busybody. This is the first time the police


    havee to your house, right?”


    An impatient look finally appeared on Gustave’s face. “Dad, if you have anything to say


    to me, you can say it directly. Don’t beat around the bush.”

    Cassiusughed, “Did I? I heard that you took Mr. Gard’s wife home once before.


    There was no evidence, so I won’t say much.”


    He paused for a moment and continued, “But this time, you reported to Mr. Hayden that


    Avery came. Mr. Gard called you to apologize and said that he would give you 1.7. million dors as


    compensation. You asked for 17 million dors. Is that true?”


    Gustave took a sip of tea. “Mr. Gard wants to shut me up with the money. This is his


    sincerity. I will respectfully ept it.”


    Cassius could no longer suppress his anger, and he said coldly, “Enough. What do you


    want to do?


    “You are not short of 17 million dors. Or are you going to give it to that woman? Right


    now, it is a critical moment for the Walpole Group and the Gard Group to negotiate


    cooperation. The contract is about to bepleted.


    “If you make such a fuss and the contract is ruined, the Walpole Group will


    conservatively lose more than 170 million dors as Jorden estimated. When did you be so


    stupid?”


    Gustave tightened his grip on the teacup in his hand, his voice still calm. “If the Walpole Group loses 170


    million dors, the Gard Group’s losses will not be lower than this,


    so the contract may not be terminated.”


    Cassius‘ face darkened. He grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it with a bang.


    “This is your n? Let the Walpole Group and the Gard Group suffer heavy losses? When the share


    price falls, you just let the otherpanies that covet ourpany get what they want whileughing at


    us?


    “I will hand over the entire Walpole Group to you. There are so many executives and shareholders in the


    Walpole Group who have high hopes for you. You have disappointed


    me!”


    The teacup smashed on the table. The tea and porcin pieces were everywhere. Some small pieces hit


    Gustave’s face and scratched his face. Blood instantly appeared on his


    face.


    Gustave looked tense and he did not speak.


    Cassius stood up, his face full of anger. “You are so naive!


    “How much effort did I put into the Walpole Group so that it can prosper like today? Your grandfather and


    I worked so hard!


    “When you were young, I neglected you and your mother because of thepany, working day and


    night. Until now, you still hate me because of your mother. But do you think I want to? Do you think it is


    so easy to sustain a greatpany?”


    He pointed at Gustave, his palms trembling. “Like what you did? Huh? Treat the Walpole family’s


    business as a toy, and use it to vent your anger. If you lose 170 million. dors, he will also lose 170


    million dors. Huh?


    “What a joke. You’re a joke. When did you be so naive and stupid?”


    Gustave’s face turned cold. “Dad, you are not allowed to talk about what happened in the past or Mom. I


    know what I’m doing. I won’t let anything bad happen to the Walpole


    Group.”


    Cassius sneered and pped the sofa twice. “Okay, I am not allowed to mention it. You are. I am a


    heartless husband and father. You are a filial son, right?


    “I won’t say much to you. Don’t me me for not reminding you. If we fall out with the Gard Group and


    the contract is ruined, I won’t exin everything. The Walpole Group’s board of directors and


    shareholders will never tolerate such a selfish president. like you.”


    Darnell came out from behind and was about toe over to talk to Gustave when he


    noticed Cassius‘ expression and immediately retreated.


    Cassius said angrily, “You’d better think it through as soon as possible and return the money to Mr.


    Gard. He is already so old. He has shown his sincerity as he apologized to you in person.


    “As for Mr. Hayden, you should also take back your so–called evidence as soon as possible.”


    Because of his anger, Cassius did not want to stay any longer and directly walked out.


    When he reached the entrance, he remembered something and stopped. He turned around and said,


    “There is something else I want to tell you. The little girl from the orphanage has been found.


    “I will give you the informationter. You can look for it yourself. It’s been so long. Don’t be like a child


    and take it seriously.”


    The more he spoke, the angrier he felt. “I don’t know how you met Mrs. Gard. You only knew each


    other for a short period of time. Don’t think too much about it. As for the little girl from the orphanage, it’s


    the same. It’s been so many years. Don’t


    always…
