    Chapter 109 He’s in a Good Mood


    “Yes, I know.” “I’m quite fond of Jessica as she’s smart, thoughtful and considerate toward you. You


    should tter her a little more. Trust me, girls love it when you do that.”


    “I understand, Aunt Lara.”


    “Is your dad asleep? Pass the phone to him.” “Okay.” Ben quickly handed the phone over to Evan, as if


    he was trying to drop a hot potato that burnt his fingers into someone else’s hands. Aunt Lara had


    always been a greedy and ambitious woman-the Roberts were only able to achieve their current status


    because of her efforts. Although his father was the one who temporarily managed the Roberts Company,


    thergest shareholder was still Aunt Lara-she was a good leader to her workers while being both kind


    and strict to the entire family. However, she was never satisfied by what she had-even after Edward had


    obediently bowed to her. She always looked for more, especially a higher status in society. If she ever


    learned of how Ben had ruined her n, he couldn’t imagine how much she’d lecture him. More


    importantly, he had no idea on how he would be able to continue living his rich and luxurious life.


    Edward had stepped out of the bathroom with a sour expression just as Lara ended her phone call.


    “What is it?” she asked, walking toward the man and reaching out to cling onto his neck. Her body was


    soft and flexible as it curled up against his body like a snake.


    He leaned over and kissed her on the lips before he said, “I just received a call from Maria, who told me


    that Ss brought the little brat over again today.” “Cam’s son?”


    “Yeah, I wonder what the old man is thinking, bing so close to an outsider. Doesn’t he have many


    great-grandsons? He’s never been close to any one of them.” Lara narrowed her eyes as she answered,


    “Do you think that the old man knows something? Otherwise, why would he have researched the little


    brat’s origins? Could that kid have some sort of rtionship with Ss? Could it be his son?”


    Edward asked, “How could that be possible? Ss did not have any woman around him for years, so


    how could he have a son?”


    She lowered her head and remained silent for a while before suddenly raising her head and saying, “I


    heard that Cam has returned from Mastar and Ss used to head there on business trips all the time a


    few years ago! If they had known each other from then, it would be possible for them to have had a child


    together.”


    After moments of pondering in silence, Edward asked, “If that’s Ss’s child, wouldn’t he already know


    about it?” “Perhaps he’s only putting on a show for us. It isn’t entirely impossible for him not to be aware


    of it either. Regardless, we have to investigate this-we can’t keep the kid around if he’s truly Ss’s son!”


    A hint of cruelty flickered across Lara’s gaze.


    He seemed to have gotten used to seeing Lara in that way as he simply leaned forward in a teasing


    manner. Then, he nted kisses from her eyebrows before moving down her face as he said, “Alright,


    stop worrying about this. It’s not as if you


    don’t have money for your daily needs. Why do you need so much money?” Lara started to pant a little


    as her voice came in between breaths. “I told you… I want to reim what’s yours… Don’t stop me from


    doing it.” “I don’t care about anything else-as long as I have you with me.” At the Nn Group the next


    day, Ss was in an especially ted mood. Even when his secretary made a mistake with the quotation,


    he simply reminded her to be more careful the next time before forgiving her for the errors. All of the


    workers had discussed it amongst themselves. “What’s up with our president?” “I don’t know, but he’s in


    an exceptionally good mood and even smiled at me earlier.” “It’s so rare to see an iceberg melting.”


    Xavier was the first to realize this as he leaned over with joy and asked, “Do you have some good news


    to share, President Nn?” “No.” Ss tried his best to remain calm and cool, but he couldn’t stop his


    lips from curling upward-even slightly. Xavier pouted his lips in disbelief. President Nn was clearly


    happy, but he no longer seemed to favor Xavier since he refused to share the good news with him. Right


    then, three soft knocks came from the door of the president’s office.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
