Chapter 241 I’s Dilemma
Wendy sped Autumn''s hands and expressed her anxiety. "Autumn, thing are not what you think they
are...."
"Enough Wendy, stop making up things!" Autumn let go of Wendy''s hands and expressed her
contempt, "I have learned a lot from your tricks and they are no longer going to work on me. From now
on, we are no longer family. Consider me dead and never let that get off your mind."
"Autumn..." Arthur stopped Autumn, "I don''t want to be this harsh. However... if this is the only way to
show you my pure intentions and that your grandmother and I really want to make up for everything."
"I know." Autumn nodded gently and said to Arthur, "But I can''t decide right now, not like this. I need to
think things through."
Autumn was already willing to meet Arthur and talk to him and she was trying her best to ept the
truth, but this is too much information to process all at the same time.
After Autumn left, Wendy did not hide her displeasure at Arthur. "Arthur, you already ruined my life two
decades ago. Now you are still here meddling with my business. There is no justification for you to bear
such a grudge against me!"
"Sit down and let''s talk." Arthur replied with a sarcasticugh. Since the fake mask of friendliness had
been ripped off, they might need to settle everything, once and for all.
"What on earth do you want?" Wendy was confident that her mask of good manners was necessary to
please the Zhao family to whom she was to be a part of. However she couldn''t figure out why
Arthur hated her so much.
"Wendy, my son Bowen passed away because of you. But that was all in the past now. I came here
only to remind you of the fact that Autumn is my granddaughter. If you still do something bad to her,
expect a world of pain from me." Arthur would be powerless to deal with the situation had Charles not
made it better for Autumn.
"And you think you can scare me like this?" Wendy let off a sarcasticugh. In the past, she had to
seek Arthur''s approval, in all obedience. However, as time passed, she felt it less and less necessary
to be meek and submissive in front of him, "I dare tell you that Autumn bears an inexorable bond with
me. She should treat me with care and support that befits a daughter. It is my inherent right to expect
that from her in the future."
"It seems that you are still bound to your delusion. You know well that this whole situation is to your
disadvantage." Wendy was making a fool of herself and Arthur was rubbing it in. "If in the past you
could do whatever you want to hurt Autumn, now I suggest that you think twice.... Autumn is Charles''s
wife and my granddaughter. You will get nowhere if you keep troubling Autumn. She now have the
backing of two influential families." Arthur did tell the truth and his words carried weight.
"You... You are going to stand up for Autumn then?" This agitated Wendy.
"And why not?" Arthur replied with a cold smile, "She is my granddaughter who deserves my
unwavering support and care!"
"Do not forget that I will, by all means, be hard on you if you trouble her again." Although Wendy is
Autumn''s mother, Arthur will not be considerate about it. After all.... Wendy was to me for the
untimely death of his son.
From the coffee shop, Autumn went straight to Cloud Advertising Company. She intended to work to
get her mind off theplicated situation that she is suddenly a part of. Autumn ran into I at the
entrance, busy on a call. "Listen here! It is none of your business. I have more important matters to
deal with. Do not call me unless it is a matter of life and death. Do you understand?"
I hung up the call, rolled her eyes to the ceiling and let out a silent scream. After she had let off
some steam, she saw Autumning in her direction. "Autumn, I thought you were staying home. Why
are you here?"
"Too bored to stay home and do nothing. I thought I should check on the proposal. How is that going,
by the way?" Autumn asked.
"Nearlypleted. Autumn, I am so sorry but I I have to leave and go on another blind date that my
mother set up. I really hate it. But I have to go. See youter." I looked at her watch anxiously.
"Another blind date? You just had one! How did that go?" Autumn was somewhat against such aimless
blind dates. Since Joanna''s recovery, I had been upied with her job and blind dates.
I replied, "Thanks for reminding me! From the previous one, the guy was handsome and from a
prominent family. But during our conversation, he had annoying references to his mothers. I couldn''t
stand it."
I looked at her watch again "Anyway I have to go. I will discuss with you on the proposal when I
"Ok." Autumn nodded gently. She went straight to her office and was about to check some reports
when her phone rang. It was Charles. "Arthur told me you left the coffee shop. I thought maybe you
went straight home and called there, only to learn that you weren''t. So where are you now?"
"I am at work." Autumn felt at ease listening to Charles''s voice over the phone, "I have to live up to your

expectations, so I should be working hard."
Charles smiled by himself. "My original intention was to divert you rather than to tire you."
"I am fine. You do not need to worry about me." Autumn smiled gently, "I have to get back to work,
goodbye for now."
Right after the call, Autumn tried her best to deal with the overload of tasks, however she was also
really fast when you are preupied by so many things.
"I know that you forget to eat when you work. I brought you a meal,e and eat a little." I opened
the food box with a smile and motioned for Autumn to join her.
Autumn massaged her head to refresh herself. She has not taken a good rest because of too many
annoying things to deal with.
"So, how did it go. Did you meet your Mr. Right today?" Autumn tried to stir gossip while eating.
"You are gossiping even during a meal."
I looked at Autumn, with mild jealousy: "Frankly speaking, I admire your marriage and how Charles
loves you beyond measure. I am dying to meet a good man like Charles!"
Autumn thought Aron was the one for I. On a second thought, she decided not to mention Aron
before her, and gave her reassurance "A good girl like you are bound to find your Mr. Right. You should
wait and he wille to you one day. But I think that going on such endless and useless blind dates is
not the best way to go."
"I am fully aware of the futility of blind dates!" I sighed and continued, "You are the luckiest to meet
Charles despite being forced to do so. However I am too old to be in a position to choose the best man.
I have to rely on blind dates."
"I, you...."
"I know what you want to say." I replied with a smile, "Now I must please my parents and go on blind
dates arranged by them. Anyway there is nothing for me to lose. "
"Well, as long as you are happy. Now, about the proposal. I have to discuss it with you.." I changed
the topic of their conversation "We could meet all the conditions in favor of Hoada Masahiro, though the
resulting quotation would render us least profitable. "
"Let me look over the proposal." Autumn dropped her chopsticks and dived into the proposal.
