Chapter 827


    Upon hearing Howard''s words, Ronan waspletely stunned. "Howard, are you saying that the


    car ident was deliberately nned?"


    Howard nodded. "That''s what I''m thinking about, Grandpa. It seems too big of a coincidence, and


    it''s very strange. Also..."


    "Also what?"


    "ine told me that a repairman visited our house today and said that I was the one who hired


    him..."


    Instantly, Ronan''s face darkened. "Wasn''t it you?"


    "No. I was so desperate to hide everything from you. Why would I hire a repairman to repair the


    television..."


    Hearing that, Ronan jumped up from his bed. "No wonder I''ve been feeling pretty restless these few


    days. Someone is plotting against us!"


    "Grandpa, lie down."


    "I''m fine!" Ronan''s eyes darkened. "You''re right. Are you suspecting that the person who kidnapped


    ine is taking revenge on you?"


    "It could be him."


    "What''s his name?" Ronan already had a n in his mind. "I''ll ask someone to do a background


    check on him. As long as I''m alive, I''ll never let anyone harm you."


    Ronan loved Howard the most in his life, so he did not want anything to happen to him.


    Shaking his head, he spoke, "I don''t know if he''s using a real name. The only thing I know is that he


    looks exactly like me...”


    Shocked, Ronan turned pale. "What?"


    Howard uttered slowly, "Grandpa, do I have a twin? A few years ago, Maya made a slip of the


    tongue in front of me. Although she didn''t want to admit it, I remembered she said something about


    me having a twin brother."


    "Nonsense!" Ronan seemed furious. "You don''t have any siblings! You are the only descendant of


    the Perkins Family, and I have only one grandson, which is you!"


    In contrast to Ronan, who was all worked- up, Howard appeared very calm. "Grandpa, I''ve never


    seen you this agitated before."


    ring at him, Ronan could not say a word. He was so angry that his face was starting to turn red.


    Sighing, Howard stopped provoking him. "Well, if you insist that, I''ll stop asking."


    Ronan answered simply, "Bring the woman who is pregnant with your child here tomorrow. I want to


    meet her." "Why do you want to meet her? I have nothing to do with her." Howard''s attitude was


    cold.


    Ronan continued, "She is pregnant with your child. How can you say that you have nothing to do


    with her?"


    Calmly, Howard answered, "We''re not sure if it''s my child yet."


    "What? How dare she ckmail our family?"


    Howard leaned back in his chair. "She''s just a cunning woman who''s capable of doing anything. I


    can''t say for sure that this child is mine."


    "A cunning woman? Why did you date her then?"


    "I must have been blind before this," Howard uttered in a deep voice.


    Ronan waved his hand and stopped talking.


    Momentster, Howard stood up. "You should get some rest. I''ll go out and check-up on her."


    "Who?"


    "ine."


    Pursing his lips, Ronan fell silent. He called out to his grandson, who was walking towards the door.


    "Howard, I have a question for you."


    "Go ahead." "What if I don''t allow you to marry ine..."


    "Why? No way. It has to be her!" Howard interrupted Ronan. "I will not marry anyone else. She is


    the only person I want to marry."


    Staring at him, Ronan sighed. "You''re stubborn, just like your father. Alright, go see her then."


    After Howard left, Ronan leaned against the bed and fell into deep thoughts before muttering to


    himself, "Oh, ine, you can only me yourself for being a jinx..."


    As soon as she appeared, many things happened to the Perkins Family, and none of them was


    good.


    He could not let such a girl marry into the Perkins Family. She would only destroy their family.


    Howard went outside to look for ine but could not find her anywhere. Taking out his mobile


    phone, he called her. It took quite a while before she finally answered her phone, "Hello, Dr.


    Perkins?"


    "ine, where are you?"


    "I''m out to buy dinner for you and Grandpa." Smiling, she said, "Both of you haven''t had dinner yet,


    right? I''m free anyway, so I thought I''ll get you guys something to eat."


    Howard asked, "Where are you? I''ll go find you now."


    "It''s fine. I''m just somewhere nearby. I''ll be back soon. Just wait for me in the hospital."


    Helplessly, Howard said, "Hurry up then."


    "Okay."


    Hanging up the phone, ine slumped into the chair and let out a long sigh.


    After staring at the number on her phone for quite some time, she decided to call him.


    Was Vincent the one behind all that had happened?


    Was she the one who caused everything that had happened to the Perkins Family?


    If that was the case, how could she face Howard and Ronan...


    She tapped on Vincent''s number, and the dial tone rang out.


    However, he did not answer.


    The phone hung up automatically, yet he still did not pick up his phone.


    Refusing to give up, ine continued to call him.


    Still, no one answered.


    Feeling anxious, ine sent him a text. "Mr. Bradbury, I have something to tell you. Please give me


    a call if you see this message."


    Then, she waited for a reply.


    Sitting in the chair, she held her phone tightly in her hand. Restless, she stared at the screen,


    waiting for a call from Vincent.


    Gradually, time was ticking away...


    Ten minutes had passed, but she never received a call from Vincent.


    Why wasn''t he answering his phone?


    Was it because she refused to pick up his call this afternoon, so he was trying to retaliate against


    her?


    Biting her lips, she decided to call him onest time.


    As expected, he did not pick up.


    Left with no choice, she got up, put her hands in her pocket, and walked outside


    After finding a decent restaurant, she ordered a few dishes, paid double, told the owner the ward


    number, and asked them to deliver the dishes to the ward. After that, she left during the night.


    Howard waited for almost half an hour, but ine still had yet toe back.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Gradually, he began to grow impatient.


    Looking at him being all anxious, Ronan could not help groaning. "I was so desperate to see you


    get married and have children before this, but seeing you getting so nervous about a woman now, I


    don''t feel happy about it."


    Amused, Howard asked, "Why?"


    "I''m sure you''ll lose your dignity to your wife."


    Howard was speechless.


    Tired of waiting, he was about to head outside to look for her. At that moment, his phone rang. He


    thought it was a call from ine, but when he looked at the caller ID on the screen, he frowned.


    Immediately, he hung up.


    Curious, Ronan asked, "Who called?"


    "Norissa."


    "Who is Norissa?"


    "The woman who said that she was pregnant with my child..."


    Hearing that, Ronan started fidgetting. "Why did you hang up then? Seeing her calling you at this


    hour, she might need help."


    As soon as Ronan finished speaking, Howard''s phone rang again.


    Ronan urged him, "Hurry up and answer the phone now!"


    Howard did not feel like answering, but knowing Norrisa''s character, she would not give up until he


    picked up.


    Having no choice, he answered the phone expressionlessly. "What''s the matter?"


    Norissa could be heard groaning on the other side of the phone. "Howard, where are you..."
