"Cheryl, is this what you told me about your rtionship
with David that could be further developed?" Tim spoke in
an indifferent, yet majestic tone as he put down his coffee
cup.
"Grandpa, David and I are fond of each other, but Danielle
Darling has been pestering him. I have no chance to get
close to him. Please trust me this time."
Cheryl tried her best to defend herself, fearing that she
would be a worthless person in her grandfather’s
eyes. If she lost her status in the Locke family, her family’s
status would also decline in the Locke family.
Seeing that Tim hadn’t said anything, Cheryl couldn’t figure
out what he was thinking. Just as she was about to say
something to defend herself further, Tim replied
emotionlessly, "Yes."
----
When Cheryl was about to feel relieved, something
annoying happened in the next second.
“Grandpa, you don’t really believe her nonsense, do you? If
David really has feelings for her, knowing his character, do
you think Cheryl needs to flirt with him? He would have
made a move long ago. She’s really bringing shame to our
family’s reputation."
“Nina, are you just jealous because you can’t have David?
Don’t tell me you have a crush on him too, and you can’t
bear to see us having a good rtionship."
Cheryl was so angry that she wanted to give Nina two tight
ps. Why was she everywhere? No wonder Grandpa
didn’t like her. She talked without using her brain.
Nina sneered, "I know my ce. Mr. Charrington is not
someone I can control."
Cheryl wondered what Nina meant by that statement.
Cheryl realized that Nina was implying that she didn’t know
her ce.
----
Cheryl thought, "You were the one who provoked me first,
‘so don’t me me."
"Nina, you are insulting the entire
Locke family! Although our Locke
family is nokas powerful as the
Charrington family, it is the second~
most powerful family in Soufield
How ￠an you say that the childfen of
our,kocke family are not worthy of
t harrington family? Don’t you
think you are turning against our
family by saying things like that?
----
"Grandpa, you,heard it with your own
ears. She daréd to look down on our
family in front of you. I can’t imagine
what shesays behind your back! @n
the surface, she is mocking mesBut
actually, she is mocking the whole
faraily, as if we’re not even worthy of
being servants to the Chartington
family."
----
Cheryl put on a sincere look and nced at Nina
disappointingly.
Tim frowned. When he was young, he and Logan were
business rivals. They had since fought for half their lives.
Logan had nurtured David into a business prodigy while
none of Tim’s children could hold a candle to David.
This was also something that Tim had been thinking about
all these years and had notpletely let go of. Now that it
was brought up, it touched a nerve. Tim had to be
more powerful than the Charrington family and find a
suitable heir before he died.
Nina listened to Cheryl’s words. She was tantly
listorting the facts and ming her. Cheryl wanted to
instigate her grandfather to punish Nina and not let her get
her way.
----
‘Grandpa, I have been wronged. You are the wisest person
in our family. You have just heard what Cheryl said. She
has twisted the facts. I just don’t want her to go after David
as he has a fiancée. That would damage the reputation you
have worked so hard to build for our family.
"I think Cheryl has always dreamed of marrying into the
Charrington family. In her heart, she despises our family.
That’s why she said what was on her mind in a moment of
desperation!”
----
Nina’s words came out of her mouth
like a maching gun. Previously, no
matter what Cheryl said, Nina had
been indifférént. Since her return —
this timezshe talked back to Chey?
Cheryl Aad really underestimat Sd
Nina.Furthermore, she heard-that
Nina was also nning to jain the
Lecke Group recently. Cheryl
wondered if Nina was nning to
step on her to climb up the
corporatedder. In Cheryl’s opinion,
Nina wasn’t worthy.
