Chapter 218: Don''t Call Her Aunt


    York was susceptible to ttery. When he heard Estelle’s words, his expression softened


    immediately. “Your Mom is right. I’m your uncle. How could you be so impolite to me?”


    “Uncle York, I know I was wrong,” Estelle said as she pointed at the sandwiches on the table. “You


    haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I remember that you suffer from hypoglycemia, and so do I. Let’s


    have breakfast first and then talk about other things.”


    After ncing at Melody with hatred in his eyes, York walked quickly to the dining room, sat down,


    and then began to eat the sandwiches.


    Estelle then raised her eyebrows and looked at Melody, who was crying. “Auntie Melody,e and


    have breakfast.”


    “Don’t call her aunt!” York snapped. “This dirty bitch doesn’t deserve to be my wife.”


    Estelle was secretly pleased to see such a scene and thought, ‘It’s easy to act. I can also do it.’


    She continued to pretend to be gentle and considerate, saying, “Uncle York, Auntie Melody has


    been with you for so many years. She also made contributions to our family...”


    “Don’t try to persuade me. You know nothing!” York eximed. “Since she married me, I have been


    providing support for her and Gretchen! What contribution has she made? She hasn’t even given


    birth to a child for me!”


    Estelle pondered silently, ‘York isn’t as naive as I initially assumed. I have sessfully shattered his


    trust in Melody and created a dispute between them. In York’s perception, Melody has crossed a


    boundary, and he won’t easily believe her anymore. This oue works in my favor.’


    ‘York is ipetent but pompous, while Melody is selfish and vicious. Neither of them is a good


    person, and they are a perfect match.’


    “Uncle York, I heard that there are some problems with thepany now. Is that true?” Estelle


    suddenly inquired.


    Upon hearing this, York’s anger surged. “It’s all because of Cristofer!” he eximed furiously. “He


    unexpectedly pulled out his investment from thepany without any exnation, causing a vital


    project to be halted. I’ve already invested millions of dors in it, and now thepany faces cash


    flow issues. I need to apply for a loan from the bank to tide over this crisis.”


    Suddenly, York became wary and asked, “Why are you inquiring about thepany’s affairs?”


    “I want to work in thepany,” Estelle replied.


    Upon hearing Estelle’s response, York sneered and replied, “Don’t think that I’m unaware of your


    true intentions. You want to regain control of thepany and assume leadership, don’t you?”


    Estelle maintained her fa?ade and continued, “Uncle York, whether or not I can take charge of the


    company isn’t my primary concern. However, thepany represents the culmination of my father’s


    lifelong efforts. I don’t wish to witness its downfall. If it goes bankrupt, thefortable life we


    currently enjoy will vanish.”


    York said stubbornly and reluctantly, “I will hire a professional manager to help me manage the


    company. I’ll offer him a high sry.”


    “But can he help you solve the cash flow problem?”


    York was speechless.


    Even if he hired apetent professional manager to manage thepany, the project would still


    be in suspension if the cash flow problem couldn’t be solved.


    “Uncle York,” Estelle said, “I can help you solve the problem.”


    York then looked at her suspiciously and asked, “You mean your boyfriend will invest money in our


    company?”


    “He does have the ability to do that. But I don’t want him to get involved in this matter. After all, the


    Hudson Group is our family’s business. Once he invests money in thepany, arge proportion


    of the shares will belong to him. Uncle York, that’s not what you want, right?”


    York took her words with a pinch of salt and asked, “What do you want to do then?”


    “I’m going to join the board of directors and be responsible for all the projects in the future,” Estelle


    quickly offered, “In other words, Uncle York, letting me help you with thepany affairs is better


    than hiring a professional manager at a high sry. I will deal with everything for you for free. And


    you just need to enjoy your life and wait for the dividend.”


    “You will do it for free? Then what do you want?” York asked with his eyes full of wariness, still not


    believing her.


    “Of course, I won’t help you for nothing. I have a requirement,” Estelle hastily stated. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Hearing this, York looked at her with a sneer as if he had seen through Estelle’s intention, “I knew


    you wouldn’t be so kind as to help me. What do you want? The shares of thepany?”


    “No, I just want to move back here with my mother.”


    York’s eyes widened in surprise at once, and he asked in disbelief, “That’s it?”


    “That’s all. My mother has resided in this ce for numerous decades, and she has be


    ustomed to living here. My only wish is for her to experience a joyful andfortable life.


    Moreover, this house holds great significance for her as it is filled with memories of both her and my


    father.”


    York took a big bite of the sandwiches and chewed it as he said, “Estelle, as you know, your mother


    is weak. If I hadn’t taken over thepany after your father passed away, it would have gone


    bankrupt long ago.”


    Upon hearing his words, Estelle wanted to roll her eyes and sneer, but she restrained herself from


    doing that.


    With a smile, she nodded in agreement, mirroring his sentiment.


    “That’s why I believe I deserve ownership of thepany. It is rightfully mine now, and I won’t allow


    anyone to snatch it away from me!” York asserted.


    “As I mentioned earlier, my sole intention is to assist in resolving thepany’s issues. If its


    progress continues to improve, it will bring happiness to my father in heaven,” Estelle expressed.


    York began to believe her.


    He thought, ‘Estelle’s father loved and spoiled her so much before. And the two of them were in a


    good rtionship. It is understandable that she wants to protect thepany founded by her


    father.’


    “You really don’t want the money?” York asked.


    Estelle chuckled and said, “Uncle York, as you know, my boyfriend is wealthy. I don’tck money at


    all.”


    Thetter sentencepletely dispelled York’s doubt.


    After contemting momentarily, York nodded and stated, “Very well, you may work in thepany.


    However, you must address the cash flow issue as a priority. If you can sessfully resolve this


    problem, I will grant you a position on the board of directors. Otherwise, I will not allow you to stay in


    thepany.”


    “Okay.”


    “And,” York asked suspiciously, “Who is your boyfriend?”


    “He doesn’t want others to know his identity,” Estelle smiled.
