Chapter 303
The war of snowballs then became increasingly intense, and Wayne, a neutral standing on the
sidelines, was hit.
Later, he was forced to take part in their fight.
Then no one cared about which side they belonged to anymore. They simply smashed the snowballs
against the first person they saw.
Henry told them to have dinner many times, but they all ignored him. Finally, they stopped ying
because they were all starving.
As they walked to the dining room, they were talking excitedly about the snowballs fight. Their faces
flushed from running andughing.
During the meal, while everyone was eating quietly, Peter suddenly said, “Oh, | heard Henry say that
Tammy likes skiing a lot. So, why not build a ski resort in the suburbs?”
Anna’s eyes widened in surprise as she heard his words.
Wayne nodded very calmly and said, “Okay, you make the call, grandpa.”
Although it snowed in this city every year, the snow would melt immediately. As a result, the snow in
the ski resort was always artificial. It was a good idea because there were no major ski resorts nearby.
Then Peter said, “No, | cannot make that decision on my own. Wayne, you should be in charge of the
investment and nning. I’m an old man and don’t have the energy to run around for investment.”
It took Anna a moment to realize Peter was pressuring Wayne to go back to the Carousel Group.
Wayne handed a piece of dessert to Anna and said, “No, Grandpa, I’ve
been extremely busy recently. So, maybe I’ll think about it sometimeter.”
Peter said impatiently, “What are you working on these days? You’re just a mid-sized corporate
treasurer! You know, it’s not as good as being a president!”
Anna felt humiliated immediately because she was the president of the medium-sizedpany Peter
was referring to. She felt awkward and even wanted to leave the table.
When Wayne noticed Anna’s embarrassed expression, he paused for a moment before saying,
“Actually, | think being treasurer is a great job since it’s stable. If | were president, someone else would
strive to rece me at any time.”
Hearing that, Peter was speechless.
They wouldn’t have had such a big fight if he hadn’t misunderstood Wayne and thought he’d done
something terrible. Although Wayne took the initiative to resign, Peter actually forced him to do so.
In fact, if Peter had reced Wayne with someone other than Richard, things might not have gone so
terrible.
Wayne and Richard had always been bitter enemies who despised each other to the guts. Therefore,
Wayne was pissed off when he found that it was Richard who reced him.
When Anna noticed Peter was silent, she said, “Grandpa, Wayne is eager toe back. But, he isn’t
ready for it right now. Can you allow him to return to yourpany after the holidays? He needs to
clean up the books at mypany right now. Just do it for my sake, please.” To lighten the mood,
Anna suggested.
Peter nodded his head and said, “Yes, you are right. As | said before, Wayne, you should finish
everything you started. Well, you cane back
after you finish your work at Anna’spany.”
Then Anna said to Peter, “Grandpa, it’s your birthday next week, right? Wayne is not only preupied
with work these days but also preparing for your birthday party.”
Peter waved his hand and said, “Thank you very much. But | don’t like big parties, and | don’t like being
in a crowded ce. You can throw a simple party.”
“No. We can’t have just a simple one. You’re turning 80 soon, aren’t you? Henry said that many people
have called recently to wish you a happy birthday. Besides, we’ve already reserved a hotel room for the
party. By then, all you have to do is be there and have fun.”
Peter finally nodded his head as Anna continued to persuade him.
After pausing for a moment, Peter asked, “Then have you guys made a guest list yet?”
Hearing that, Anna cast a nce at Wayne. She hardly knew anyone in the Wright family and didn’t
believe she could make decisions on her own. Asa result, she had to let Wayne decide on the guest
list.
Wayne raised his head and said, “Oh, no, not yet. | believe it would be better to let Henry handle this.”
Although Wayne had many rtives, he knew few of them.
“Anna, would it be okay if | invite your uncle and aunt to my party?” Peter asked.
Anna froze as she was unsure what he meant.
Peter said, “Well, | think it’s time for us to discuss your marriage again. | know you don’t have any
rtives, but aren’t your aunt and uncle close to you?”
Anna then looked at Wayne as she hoped he would say something to
save her from the embarrassing situation. She hadn’t anticipated Peter bringing up their marriage again
so soon, so she was shocked.
Wayne said, “Don’t be in such a rush, Grandpa. It’s not easy dealing with Anna’s aunt and uncle.”
“Oh, they don’t like businessmen, do they?”
Anna’s uncle Joe worked for the government his whole life. He retired awhile ago and then left for
London for another job.
In all, he’d had a very sessful career. Anna’s mother had been hurt by Frank before, so Peter
suspected that Anna’s rtives might not like the idea of her marrying a businessman.
In fact, Peter’s fears were justified. Anna had asked Selina about it and learned that she didn’t
particrly like Wayne.
Annaughed, and then attempted to change the topic by saying, “I’m not sure about that, but | believe
that they like Wayne.”
“Gee, when | was Wayne’s age, both of my kids were about to graduate from elementary school,” Peter
sighed and said.
“Your two kids?” Anna asked.
When Peter thought about the past, he froze and looked sad.
“Well, let’s not get into that right now,” he said.
Anna pinched her arm, regretting that she had asked that question so quickly.
