"Well, it's not your fault." Wayne sighed and looked at Claire tenderly. "You did nothing wrong. I'm glad
that you came here to apologize."
"Thank you, grandpa." Claire bent over to express her thanks.
Seeing that Wayne was so reasonable, Eden also bent over and said, "Thank you for forgiving Claire,
grandpa."
A smile appeared on Wayne's face. "Think about it carefully. It's that bastard who should apologize. If it
weren't for him, things wouldn't have come to this point. And as an elder, I also have a certain
responsibility. I didn't discipline them well."
Seeing that he mentioned Frank again, no one answered. After all, it was the Gu family's business. Lily,
Claire and Claire naturally wouldn't interfere.
Eric and Angela, on the other hand, didn't know how to respond. They didn't want others to hear that
they were trying to sow dissension between them.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Wayne looked at Claire and continued, "Your engagement to that
bastard is invalid and you have suffered a lot. If he hadn't played tricks, you wouldn't have been
involved. Speaking of this, we have to apologize to you."
"No, no, grandpa." Claire was a little flattered. She had heard about it. At first, she couldn't figure out
why she woke up in the same bed with Frank. After hearing the truth a few days ago, she understood.
It turned out that Frank had been scheming since then.
But she was also scheming against him at that time. After hearing her mother's words, she thought that
the marriage with the eldest son of the Gu family would bring benefits to the Qiao family in business,
and she would also be valued in front of her grandfather. Therefore, she did not care about the reason
and decided to engage him verbally.
However, so many things had happened.
After chatting with Claire for a while, Wayne turned to Angela and said, "Tell the Richard to call lawyer
to come to our house tomorrow morning."
Angela looked at him subconsciously, but she didn't ask anything, but said, "I know, father."
Hearing the word "lawyer", Eric couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He looked at his grandfather
subconsciously and didn't know what he was going to do.
"And..." Wayne pursed his lips and said gloomily, "Ask Simon and Frank to stay at home tomorrow
morning. I have something to tell them."
"I'll let them know." Angela replied.
"Okay." Wayne closed his eyes and waved at them, "Get out, I'm tired."
It was known to all that Wayne was not in good health, so when he said so, everyone left the room one
after another.
When they arrived at the living room, Claire and Eden didn't intend to stay any longer after reaching the
goal of this trip, so that they said goodbye to Angela, Lily and Eric and leave.
But as soon as the two turned around, they met Frank who just came back from outside.
Frank had always hated Claire for uploaded the video on the Internet. At the sight of her, the anger
hidden in the bottom of his heart immediately erupted.
He pointed at Claire angrily, "How dare you come here? Who let you upload the video online? But now,
you have ruined the Gu family's reputation, and the Gu family is in turmoil. Are you satisfied?"
Faced with the sudden scold, Claire was obviously not able to react. She even looked at him in a daze.
However, Eden reacted. He frowned and looked at Frank, "Frank, how dare you criticize Claire? Have
you ever thought about who caused all these things? How dare you curse Claire? Do you still have a
clear estimation of yourself?"
"It's all her fault!" Frank glared at Claire, "How could this happen if she didn't post the video online..."
Slap!
A slap broke Frank's words and echoed throughout the living room.
It was Claire who slapped Frank. She gathered all her strength and slapped him so hard that he tilted
his head and even blushed.
This sudden change made everyone confused and looked at them.
Claire trembled with anger, "Frank, why do you blame me? Why don't you think about who caused all
this? If it weren't for you, would I have done that? Will grandpa be mad and sick, and will the Gu
company be implicated?"
Frank turned his head slowly and looked at Claire in disbelief. "How dare you hit me?"
Claire sneered, "You are talking nonsense here. You deserve it!"
"You, you..." Pointing at Claire, Frank was speechless.
Eden thought he was going to make a move, so he pulled Claire behind him and looked at Frank
vigilantly. "Frank, use your brain to think about who is wrong with this matter. Don't be like a mad dog
and bite others."
This was probably the worst thing he had ever said.
"Enough!" At this time, Eric came over and stood in front of Frank. He looked at him with deep eyes
and said, "Don't you think it's not a big deal? Do you want to keep making trouble? Grandpa is resting
upstairs. Do you want to disturb him?"
As soon as Frank heard the two words "grandpa", he immediately became depressed. Now the only
person he feared most in this family was only Wayne.
Therefore, he could only glare at the two.
The episode quickly passed, and Claire and Eden also left.
Looking at their receding figures, his eyes were filled with hatred.
Eric turned to look at Frank and said unhappily, "Grandpa said he had something to talk about
tomorrow and asked you all to be present."
"Grandpa is willing to see us?" Frank's eyes lit up, "What is he going to say to us?"
Eric glanced at him indifferently, "You'll know it tomorrow."
Then he turned around, walked to Lily, took her hand and left the living room.
Frank was not reconciled, but seeing that Eric didn't answer him, he turned to Angela, full of hope.
When he was about to ask, Angela took the lead.
"I don't know why. We'll know it tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
For a moment, there was only Frank left in the living room.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the second day, because of what Wayne had said yesterday, Simon
and Frank had been waiting in the living room early. At the same time, Richard, Angela as well as the
two of them, Eric and Lily also waited there.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the lawyer, who was contacted by Richard, came over. Just like last
time, when he arrived, he went directly to Wayne's room without saying anything to anyone, except for
a formal greeting.
An hour had passed, but he still didn't come down.
The living room was unusually quiet. Lily and Eric sat next to each other, hand in hand, but they didn't
say anything.
The gauze on Lily's face had been removed. According to what Harry had told her, she used the
medicine he had prescribed. The wound had scabs. Suddenly, the long wound looked somewhat
frightening.
Richard sat on the sofa, reading a newspaper in his hand, and Angela sat next to him. She was also
reading a newspaper, but what she was reading was entertainment newspaper.
Frank and Simon were surprisingly quiet. If one looked carefully, it could be seen that the two of them
were actually very nervous. This was the first time that Wayne wanted to see them these days.
It was quiet in the living room. About half an hour later, the sound of footsteps from upstairs interrupted
the silence. The lawyer in a suit and glasses came downstairs.
Seeing this, Richard put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and walked towards him. "Is Mr.
Song leaving now?"
"Yes." He nodded with a smile, "I have finished what he asked. Of course I should leave."
"Then I'll drive you home." Richard made a gesture of welcome.
"Thank you. It's not so troublesome."
Richard sent him out and came back in less than two minutes.
At this time, Wayne went downstairs with the support of Jarvis.
Seeing this, everyone stood up one after another.
"Dad." It was from Simon.
"Dad." The two voices were called by Richard and Angela at the same time.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
These two voices were called by Eric and Lily.
Walking to the sofa, Wayne glanced at Simon and Frank for two more seconds before he sat down on
the seat he often sat.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became a little serious.
"I asked you all to come here this morning because I have something to tell you." Wayne said. Then he
turned to look at Simon and said in a low voice, "Richard will be in charge of the project Simon's
prepared with the government from today on."
Hearing this, Simon widened his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief, "Dad, why? I was the one
who prepared these projects. Now I almost finished, but you asked me to hand them over to others.
Isn't this a wedding dress for others?"
Wayne looked at him coldly, "Now that things have come to this, do you think you are still suitable to
follow up these projects?"
"I..." Simon was rendered speechless.
"You just stay at home these days. Don't even go to the company!" Wayne said aggressively.
The faces of Simon and Frank darkened. They couldn't go to the company. They had almost finished
preparing the project before, but now it was handed over to someone else. How could they let it
go?
