Chapter 789 Felix at His Wit''s End


    Aftering out of thepany, Jack settled a private matter and went home before dinner.


    Since he was transferred back suddenly, he didn''t tell his family, so the whole family looked at him in


    surprise when he appeared in the living room.


    "Son, you''re back."


    Maria came to her son happily.


    "Yes."


    Brian replied with a smile that he didn''t expect his family to be so surprised. Then Thomas questioned


    him.


    "Why do youe back? Do you get into troubles?"


    Thomas thought so, otherwise he would not have such an attitude.


    "No, I was transferred back."


    Jack was not satisfied with his father''s questioning. His father always did not trust him, which made him


    very disappointed.


    "The head office transferred you back?"


    Thomas did not seem to believe it.


    "Yes, you can ask Brother, he transferred me back."


    Brian was impatient. He was always unreliable, but he was an honest boy and never told a lie. Even so,


    his father would ask him several times.


    “Brian transferred you back?”


    Felix opened his mouth.


    He was very surprised at Jack''s sudden appearance and his words.


    "Yes, Grandpa, you don''t believe me? I came back directly to thepany to report to Brother."


    "Brother gave me two days off and I will go back to work in two days."


    Brian exined it in detail.


    It was unusual, but he didn''t think much of it. He was good at doing what he was told, because it was


    always easier than using his head.


    With this exnation, Felix understood what was going on. He did not ask any more questions, but


    frowned and looked slightly nervous.


    Not much soon Brian, Rufus, Ste and Joshua had arrived.


    "Haven''t Luke and Megane?"


    Felix could not help asking when he did not find the two kids.


    "They are at home having ss."


    Brian gave a short answer. The kids did have sses, but the time could be changed. They did not


    want to go to the old house, so they took it as an excuse.


    Felix did not ask again, but merely sighed.


    He knew that the kids were outwardlymunicating with him, but in their hearts they still resisted and


    resented him.


    "Oh, Brian, you transferred Jack back, will you not allow him to go out again?"


    Thomas did not wait patiently but asked Brian. He wanted to determine what kind of mentality Brian


    had and what his purpose was.


    "It depends on his performance. If he get sort of scandal that could damage the Be Group’s


    reputation, he can''t stay in the head office."


    Brian answered Thomas and warned Jack again.


    The root cause of thest sudden transfer was that Jack got into a scandal with a female colleague of


    thepany, and Brian transferred him away out in anger.

    "Don''t worry, I will discipline him strictly."


    Thomas could only say that.


    "Brian, what position do you give Jack this time? What department do you n to ce him in?"


    Thomas continued to ask.


    "I haven''t decided yet. I''ll think about it at work."


    Brian didn''t tell him, because he hated nothing more than discussing business at home. Uncle Thomas


    had no pure purpose, so he did not want to say a word.


    "It doesn''t matter what position you put him in, as long as it fits his characteristics, makes him y


    better, and matches his status."


    Thomas reminded Brian not to give Jack a low position, or it was not in line with his position as a


    Be.


    "Uncle Thomas, your requirements are really not much."


    How could Brian not understand the hint of Thomas, but no matter what he said, Brian must do


    ording to his n.


    "Now, don''t talk about work. It''s so boring to talk about work."


    Ste interrupted, it was not suitable to talk about business and thepany.


    If she let them talk any more, it would have an unhappy ending. They might have not a good dinner.


    "Grandpa, when are we going to eat? I''m hungry."


    Ste asked her grandfather, but Felix was not in a good mood.


    "Ask Maria to urge the chef, so that we have a meal as soon as possible."


    He answered, but it was clear that something was bothering Felix.


    After dinner, Felix asked Brian to his study.


    "Did you call Jack back?"


    Asked Felix sharply.


    Jack coulde back, but he was wary about Brian''s purpose.


    "Yes."


    He gave a short and forceful answer.


    "What is your purpose?"


    Felix continued and was unable to control his temper. He wanted to lose his temper but he felt it was


    not necessary.


    "I want to train him. I will quit when he can stand on his own."


    Brian did not hide the fact. He did not tell the truth to Thomas, but he had to tell his grandp. He wanted


    to show his grandpa how determined he was.


    "You..."


    "Grandpa, this is as far as I can go. I did my best not to leave the Be Group behind."


    Brian did not give his grandpa a chance to speak, he did so with a clear conscience.


    For the Be Group, for his grandpa, he felt sorry for Winnie. Now he had topensate Winnie and


    could not wait any longer.


    After that, Brian left the study directly.


    Sitting alone in his study, Felix knew he had lost any chance. All his wishes came to an end and he


    could no longer control Brian.


    But he did not concede, he would never regress to ept Winnie. He was at his wit''s end, but he could


    still be silent.


    He would just wait in silence waiting for a turning point.


    Ste and Joshua were on their way home.


    "Is there something wrong with dad being so glum all the time?"


    Joshua asked Ste. He noticed nothing else but his father-inw''s mood.


    He knew the reason his father-inw was unhappy, but he could not ask directly, or Ste would resist.


    "Well...... It should be about Isobel. If he goes on like this, he''ll make himself very ill."


    Ste had also noticed her father''s mood. He was always depressed.


    "When you get old, some things really can''t be put off. Ste, you still can’t let it go?"


    Joshua knew that the problem was in Ste and Brian, as long as they were not resentful, his father-in-


    "I... Even if I let it go, it won''t help. Brian has to let go, and it matters."


    Ste did not know how to answer the question, so she pushed the problem to Brian.


    "Ste, we are talking about you. Don''t worry about whether Brian can ept it or not. You are an elder


    sister, and you should set an example."


    Ste wanted to avoid the issue, but Joshua let her face the problem.


    If Ste epted, Brian would gradually let it go. And Winnie could solve the problem of Brian, Ste


    did not have to worry about it.


    "I... s......"


    She could only sign.


    "Well, it''s hard for me to forget the past, after all my mother died. But I feel sorry for dad now. To tell the


    truth, honey, I don''t know what to do now."


    Ste spoke out her mood. She really did not know what to do now.


    "Ste, Mom''s dead, which means you don''t have a chance. But Dad''s still alive, but he''s getting older."


    “Think about it, what did you and Brian do for him? Have you considered how he managed to survive


    all these years and why he remained single for so many years?"


    “He has done everything for you and Brian, but you have never taken his ce.”


    Joshua tried to persuade Ste. He did not want his father-inw to be negative, Ste to be worried.


    When a family had a problem, they should find a way to solve it, so that they could eat and chat


    happily.


    In the reunion dinner just now, each had their own worries.


    Joshua continued seeing that Ste was silent.


    "You should know that Dad has not only wronged you and Brian, but also Isobel. He has been making it


    up for you so many years. Do you think he does not have to make it up for Isobel?"


    "What did Isobel do wrong to be hated by you?"


    Joshua forced Ste to think more, don''t just think about herself and Brian. Everyone was a victim.


    "Don''t be angry at my words. In fact, you and Brian are selfish. You only think about how difficult it is for


    yourself. You never consider your father, let alone Isobel."


    Joshua could not help speaking out.


    Ste was surprised by such a word.


    Was she selfish? Hadn’t she thought about how other people felt?


    She asked herself, but the answer was yes.


    Over the years, she and Brian had stressed how miserable they were, how hard they were, and how


    painful they were. But they did not think about their father''s difficulty, did not stand in their father''s point


    of view to see the whole thing.


    They hated Isobel, so it was more impossible to stand in her position.


    By being asked, Ste realized that his father and Isobel had a hard time.


    At this thought, she felt better and admitted that she and Brian were selfish. But who could understand


    her mother?


    "Honey, I''m scared. I''m afraid I won''t have the chance to honor my father. I''m afraid I''ll regret it."


    This was one of Ste''s recent thoughts. She was suddenly frightened when she learned her father


    was ill. It was also at that moment that she realized that her father was old and would leave them one


    day.
