Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 778

Early morning on the next day, Edward and Felicity walked downstairs. The two elders were already enjoying breakfast with their two great-grandchildren.

The atmosphere was pretty good. The old man looked at the cute little great-grandson, and his eyes were filled with a doting and loving look, seeing him as a mini version of Edward, which made the old man place great expectations on him, who was still so young. He believed that this child would become the successor to the Hughes Family, so he repeatedly reminded his grandson to properly cultivate him.

Looking at Arya's bright and clear pair of big eyes, the two elders had both sighed.

More than twenty years ago, a little angel had appeared in Hughes Family, and although it wasn't the Hughes Family's bloodline, that little girl, who was sensible and obedient, still brought the two of them a lot of memories.

That person was Jane Hughes. Perhaps it was because Hughes Family had always got a boy, but Jane's arrival satisfied the two elders' determination to have no granddaughters, so the two elders wholeheartedly doted on Jane and treated her like their granddaughter. When she was young, the old man had already transferred 5% of the the company's shares to her name. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was a pity that a girl who had looked like an angel when she was young was used by others to frame their most proud grandson when she had grown up. That was why the two elders suddenly changed their attitude towards Jane.

Now, Arya had once again mended the disappointment the two elders felt towards their granddaughter. They all believed that Arya would definitely not be the second Jane Hughes, although she was so cute and innocent that brought them so much joy.

They only hoped that she would continue to enjoy life without any worries in the future, and not be harmed.

"Daddy, Mummy!" The two kids looked at the two people walking toward the staircase at the same time, their faces full of happiness.

The old lady looked at the old man, who immediately said to Edward, "Come over and sit down, I have something to ask you!"

Edward's heart trembled, it seems like grandfather knows what happened in the company.

Edward sat down, took the cup of warm water offered by the butler, and looked at his grandfather.

Although the lord master was almost eighty years old, his sensitivity towards the company hadn't diminished at all.

With a grave expression, he asked, "Is there something wrong with the company?"

"There is indeed a problem, but grandfather, don't worry, I have the ability to deal with it!" He knew that his Grandfather's recent physical condition wasn't too good, the doctors had to come personally to check on him every other day, and he also didn't want to burden Grandfather with this matter. When he found out Grandfather's matter, he was so anxious that he went to the hospital.

Felicity sat quietly at the side. Upon hearing the old man's question, her heart tightened.

She forgot to ask last night. She thought that since the two elders were still alive, Edward's uncle should be afraid of the two elders. Why didn't Edward take the initiative to ask for their help?

But now, when Felicity heard what Edward said, she seemed to have understood something. Maybe Edward did not want the two elders to know that he was fighting with his uncle at all.

The lord master's dignified and sharp gaze stared fixedly at his grandson's calm expression through his gold-rimmed reading glasses.

"What happened? Tell me about it! "The old man was still very worried about him.

Edward said in a low voice: "It's just a customer being poached. This is a very normal thing in the market. Grandfather, do not worry."

"Don't hide anything from me!" When the old man heard him speak with such a calm tone, he finally calmed down a little. Actually, he could also call his old officials at the company and ask them about it, but the old man didn't want to get involved with the management of the company anymore. He wanted his grandson to tell him the truth, and he believed that his grandson wouldn't lie to him.

"Grandfather, you can be at peace. I can handle the company's matters." Edward said with concern.

"Alright, you deal with it carefully. If you really need my help, you don't have to be courteous to grandpa!" The old master was finally relieved.

The grandpa and grandson conversation had finished breakfast. The old lady and the housekeeper, old Garry, continued to send the children to school.

Edward also reminded Felicity to take care of herself. Felicity was bored to death at home, so she wanted to eat lunch with her godmother, and Edward agreed. However, once she went out, she had to go with four bodyguards.

After Edward arrived at the company, there were a few important meetings that were about to take place, the atmosphere immediately became tense and busy.

When he returned to his office for a nap after the first meeting, his assistant knocked on the door and entered, "Mr. Hughes, you have a courier!"

Edward squinted and asked coldly: "What courier?"

"I'm not sure. It's something like a document!" The assistant replied nervously, not daring to even breathe.

"Give it here!" Edward rarely received courier. It was not sent to him directly, but went to his assistant and was passed along to him by his assistant, Larry.

The assistant quickly placed the express delivery on the table. Edward stared at it for a few seconds, then took it over and ripped the package.

Suddenly, a few photographs fell.

Edward's expression froze, and quickly picked up the photo. He saw that the person in the photo, was his biological father, and also a woman ... It was the woman called Anna that his grandmother had asked him to investigate.

Edward was shocked. Looking at the time when the photos were taken, his expression became even more rigid and his handsome face became gloomy and unsightly.

He quickly looked through all the pictures, and time when the photos were taken was different. He wanted to check if someone had treated him at that time, but there were no traces of treatment. Could it be that after his father and his mother had married, his father had been in contact with this woman?

How could this be?

Had Dad been having an affair all the time?

Edward's already tense mind, after seeing these pictures, was in an even greater turmoil.

He had always thought that even if his father didn't love his mother, he was definitely a responsible and moral person in the Hughes family. But now, these photos had made him suspect them seriously.

The two people in the photo seemed to have been secretly photographed by someone. It was precise because they were secretly photographed, they appeared to be especially intimate when they were together.

Edward clenched his big palm into a fist and punched the table fiercely. There was no doubt that this was something his uncle had shown him on purpose, to distract him.
