Lily was not really tired. She just didn't want to see Simon and Frank. That was why she told Eric that
she wanted to have a rest.
After all, Eric loved her very much. No matter what she said, he would listen to her.
When they returned to their bedroom, the two of them sat on the small sofa in the bedroom and
continued to chat. However, not long after, Eric's phone rang.
She took out her phone and found it was a call from Noble.
"Hello, brother." Eric answered the phone, but he didn't get up. Instead, he was still sitting next to Lily
on the sofa.
"All the videos on the Internet have been cleared up." "As for the newspaper… I've done as you said.
And I've also checked the source of the video. Do you want to know?"
Lily was sitting next to Eric on the left. Besides, he was answering the phone with his left ear, so she
could hear clearly what Noble said on the phone.
Eric smiled and said, "You're so fast. You've handled these things in less than two hours."
"As soon as you hung up the phone, Sherry called me and asked her to help investigate." On the other
side of the phone, Noble seemed to be in a good mood. "The result seems to be spread out from the
Qiao family's old house."
Eric slightly raised his eyebrows, and Lily next to him also had the same expression. The two of them
were almost in the same pace.
Judging from the expression on their face, they were a little surprised that the video was spread from
the Qiao family's old house.
But soon, Lily felt relieved, because Claire had lived in the old house of the Qiao family these days.
"I see." Eric replied indifferently.
"Aren't you surprised at all?" A surprised voice came from the phone.
"I have expected it before."
"Well, what are you going to do with the Gu company?"
"My father is in charge of the company's affairs for the time being. I'll deal with it after I finish
something."
After chatting with Noble for a while, Eric hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa. He turned to look
at Lily and said, "You are right."
Lily knew what he was talking about. With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, she said, "At
present, only Claire has a grudge against Frank."
"Indeed." Eric nodded.
"What should we do now?" Lily turned to look at Eric and asked in a low voice.
Eric frowned and said, "We can take our time to deal with the company's affairs. What's more, the Gu
company is just affected, not in a major crisis. I believe that there won't be any big trouble with dad in
the company. On the contrary, I'm more worried about grandpa's health. I guess I'll stay here all the
time. After all, Simon and Frank are still here. I'm afraid that grandpa will be more irritated when he
sees them."
Lily nodded. Although Wayne didn't allow Simon and Frank to enter his bedroom, he would meet them
as long as he came out. If they said something they shouldn't say or did something wrong, it would be
a big deal.
In the afternoon, two unexpected people came to the Gu family, Claire and Eden.
They didn't go to school, but specially asked for leave. It happened to be three o'clock in the afternoon
when Wayne woke up from a nap.
Knowing that the two of them had come to the Gu family's house, Lily and Eric went out of their room
and went to the living room. The two were not surprised at their arrival, but Angela, who just came out
of Wayne's room, was a little surprised.
"Aunt." Eden walked in front, followed by Claire. He greeted Angela politely.
"Aunt." Claire also greeted her, but she was not as natural as Eden. With an unnatural expression on
her face, she lowered her head, as if she was a child who had made a mistake.
"Okay." Angela nodded with a smile, "Why are you here?"
A strange expression flashed across Eden's face, "I… I brought Claire here to apologize to grandpa."
"Apologize?" Angela frowned in confusion.
"Yes." It was Claire who nodded. She took the initiative to stand out, looked up at Angela, and then
immediately lowered her head, not daring to open her eyes to look at her. Her voice was so small, "I... I
heard that grandpa was angry… He was so angry that I come here to apologize. Aunt, can you take me
to see grandpa? I want to apologize to him face to face."
Angela was confused and didn't understand why she said that. When she was about to ask more
details, Eric said, "Mom, you go to tell Grandpa first. I have something to tell them."
Hearing this, Angela looked at his son in surprise. Seeing that his son winked at her again, she didn't
ask more and went upstairs.
It was not until his mother's back disappeared at the corner of the corridor that he withdrew his sight
and looked at Claire. There was no emotion in his words. "Why did you want to post the video online at
that time?"
Claire took a look at Eric and then glanced at Lily who was standing beside him. She lowered her head
and said, "Frank has gone too far. If he didn't go to the Qiao family and hurt my sister's face, I wouldn't
have done that. And I have thought that it would be possible to get Gu family's company into trouble,
but..."
Her voice was getting lower and lower. "I couldn't stand it anymore, so I did such a thing. That night, I
saw the wound on my sister's face. I… I hate him so much."
Hearing her explanation, Eric could accept it, because from her words, at least Claire did this to
revenge on Frank for hurting her face.
When Lily heard this, she was touched. She couldn't help but take a look at Claire.
Eden sighed slightly and turned to look at Claire, but he said to Eric and Lily, "She has been feeling
uneasy since she knew that it was a big deal, but she didn't know what to do, let alone tell father and
grandfather. She just told me. I've thought about it for a long time. I think it's better to take her here to
apologize to grandpa."
"Okay." Eric nodded in agreement. In the end, Claire did nothing wrong. She just hate Frank. What he
had done was really disgusting.
After a short while, Angela appeared at the entrance of the stairs. Instead of coming down, she stood
above and said to the people downstairs, "Come up."
Hearing the voice, they looked up at the same time. She said, "Eric, bring them up. Grandpa wants to
see them."
"Okay." Eric answered. Then they went upstairs at the same time.
In the room, Wayne was sitting on the bedside, so was the family doctor Jarvis and Angela.
The four walked into the room in succession. Lily and Eric were in front of them, and Eden and Claire
were behind them.
After entering the room, Claire took a look at Wayne, who was lying on the bed, and then lowered her
head, not daring to go forward. Eden secretly touched her with his hand, hinting her to move forward.
The small movements of the two were seen by others, but no one said anything.
Claire clenched her fists and stopped. To be honest, she had been afraid of Wayne since the first time
she met him, let alone getting sick because of what she had done. She really didn't have the courage
to go forward.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little embarrassing. At last, Wayne couldn't hold his
breath and spoke first, "Didn't you say that you have something to talk to me? Why didn't you tell me
when you came here?"
Eden looked sideways at Claire, who was still lowering her head, and sighed slightly. He stepped
forward and said apologetically to Wayne, "Grandpa, Claire and I are here to apologize to you."
Then he turned to look at Claire and said in a stern tone, "Claire, apologize to grandpa now."
Claire looked up at Eden and then looked at Wayne. She was even more nervous, but she had to go
forward.
"Grandpa… I'm sorry." After apologizing in a low voice, she immediately lowered her head and dared
not look into Wayne's eyes.
Wayne was puzzled, "Apology is an apology, but you have to let me know why you are apologizing,
right?"
"Well, well, grandpa..." Claire quickly looked up at him and stammered, "Yes, I posted the video online,
so… That's why you are so angry and the Gu company suffer… Involved."
Wayne widened his eyes in surprise, "You said you uploaded this video?"
"Yes." Claire lowered her head and nodded, her hands twisting uneasily.
"Do you know how much loss you have caused to the Gu company?" Wayne suddenly raised his voice.
"I, I know." Claire's voice was a little trembling. Perhaps it was because of his reproachful tone that she
was a little unwilling. She looked up at Wayne with a little stubbornness in her eyes, and her words
became smooth. "But grandpa, do you know that I wouldn't have done that if Frank hadn't bullied me
too much. I gave this video to him before because I wanted him to know about it and agree to cancel
the engagement. Then it's over. But he still came to threaten me and hurt my sister. I was so angry that
I uploaded the video online."
Wayne was furious. It was not Claire's fault, but his disappointing grandson who forced her to this point!
