Chapter 58 Forced Blind Date
“Grandma said that my aunt insisted on marrying into Tempe City. If aunt had listened to Grandma marrying into Hail City, you wouldn’t have suffered such humiliation now that the Thomas Family is in charge.”
Hellen couldn’t help but laugh. “Then I wouldn’t have been born.”
After the two chatted for a while, Hellen’s office door was knocked open.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
David stood outside the door. “Mrs. Jovano, the production team has come up with a new plan for the construction of the ancestral shrines. Mr. Grant invites you to listen with him.”
Hellen stood up. “I’ll come right away.”
She turned to look at Karlen and ordered, “Stay in the office and don’t run around. Do you understand?”
Seeing Karlen nod, Hellen was still slightly worried. “David, please help me keep an eye on her.”
“Okay,” David answered.
Seeing Hellen leave, Karlen shifted her gaze to David.
“You are Hans’s assistant?”
David nodded, “Yes, Miss Thomas.”
As the little overlord of Hail City, Karlen was most afraid of her father and her cousin Hellen. Since Hellen was not here, she was not afraid of anyone. She stood up and went around David.
“Then do you know a lot about Hans and my sister? Tell me!”
David’s expression was solemn. “Miss Thomas, this is Mr. Grant’s and Mrs. Jovano’s privacy…”
When Hellen arrived in the conference room, members of the joint implement mobilization groups of the Grant Group and the Jovano Group immediately got up as they saw her coming.
Hellen’s seat was right next to Hans. She walked over and sat down before turning to greet him. “Mr. Grant.”
Hans looked at her.
Hellen slightly frowned. She felt that Hans was strange and weird.
As the executors spoke, Hellen listened to their report on the program.
In the final analysis, the United Department still needed to make concessions. They also knew that the general trend was inevitable and the ancestral temple had to be relocated to another place.
“They joined forces to ask for two hundred million?” Hellen’s face was cold. “And we should build a new ancestral hall for them at the location they designated?”
This was too much. They want to build it at a scenic spot in Tempe City, which was extremely expensive.
Hellen’s face was cold. “This is the plan you came up with? How can we agree on this.”
“Mrs. Jovano, there’s no other way. If they don’t agree to move, we won’t be able to continue working. It will take a lot of money to delay the construction for a day.”
Hellen looked at the documents. “We can only agree to one of these two demands. You deal with this on your own.”
Then, she looked at everyone and said, “If anyone can solve this problem, he will get a reward of one million dollars.”
With a heavy reward, there would always be brave men. Thus, the members of the implementation group, who originally wore bitter expressions on their faces, immediately perked up.
Hans added from the side, “You can’t do it in a tough way.”
After discussing a few more plans, everyone left. Hellen stood up, intending to go back.
“Mr. Grant, then I’ll go back first.”
“Call me Hans.” Hans looked up to Hellen. “We are old acquaintances. You don’t have to address me as such a stranger.”
Hellen frowned slightly. She didn’t understand what he was thinking. “When working, it’s best to call you Mr. Grant.”
After that, she asked, “How is Granny Grant now? Did you check the surveillance video of the old house?”
Hans’s face turned clouded. He said, “Yes. And the caretaker has been changed.”
Only now did Hellen relax. “This weekend, I’ll go visit Granny Grant. I’m going back now.”
They left the conference room together.
When they walked to the door of the office, they saw David standing there with a bitter expression on his face. Karlen was tugging on his clothes and questioning him.
“And then? What happened after Hellen divorced Hans?”
When David saw Hans, he strode over as if he had seen his savior. “Mr. Grant!”
Hellen called out to Karlen, “Karlen, come here!”
David watched in horror as the young girl turned into a good girl. He lamented that she was too good at disguise.
He had planned to keep his mouth shut and not utter a word no matter what Karlen has done to him.
But Karlen always found loopholes in his answer.
“This is my cousin Karlen. I’m sorry she has caused trouble for David.” Hellen said with an indifferent smile.
Hans glanced at Karlen and saw her looking at him with disdain. When she saw him looking at her, she snorted and turned her head to the side.
“Your sister is very cute.” Hans turned around and went back to the office. “David, come in.”
David followed him to Hans’s office with a pained expression.
When they got off work in the afternoon, Hellen left the United Department with Karlen.
She drove to the hospital, while Karlen sat in the passenger seat with a lollipop in her mouth.
“I have visited Everet. Hellen, Darcy, and Everet look intimate. Are they in a relationship?”
Hellen laughed. “Not yet.”
The car arrived at the hospital and the two of them arrived at Everet’s ward.
Unexpectedly, Eddie was there as well. When he saw Hellen, he immediately came over and said politely, “Missy is here.”
Karlen called out happily, “Eddie!”
After staying in the ward for a while, Hellen saw that Darcy was not around and asked Everet, “Where’s Darcy?”
Everet looked a little embarrassed. “She’s busy at home today, so she didn’t come.”
“What is it?”
But Everet didn’t say a word.
Hellen narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Eddie.
Eddie shrugged. “Don’t look at me, I don’t know either. When I came, I saw Darcy slam the door and leave.”
Did they have a quarrel?
Hellen understood.
When he left the hospital, Eddie volunteered to stay with Everet for the night.
Hellen first sent Karlen back home, then sat in the car and called Darcy.
“Darcy, what are you doing?” Hellen asked tentatively.
Wendy’s voice was hoarse. “I’m just about to go to sleep.”
“It’s not yet nine o’clock. When did you start resting so well?” Hellen chuckled. “What’s wrong? Did my brother make you angry? I heard from Eddie that you slammed the door and left.”
Darcy’s gritting voice came from the other end of the line. “Your brother is a beast!”
Hellen’s heart jumped a few times. “What is it? Tell me.”
“My father arranged a blind date for me, but your brother asked me to go!” Darcy was very angry.
Hellen frowned deeply.
Recently, she had been visiting her brother every night, so she already knew the relationship between Everet and Darcy.
But Hellen knew his character very well. Although Everet seemed carefree on the surface, he was actually a very possessive man.
He liked Darcy. Why did he let her date someone else?
Hellen narrowed his eyes. “Then are you really going to go on a blind date tomorrow?”
“What can I do if I don’t go? You know how many blind dates my family arranged for me over the past two years. My father said that if I dare to run away halfway, he will break my legs!” Wendy’s angry voice fell.
“If he breaks my leg, I can’t help you take care of your brother.”
“Uh…”
A hint of a smile appeared on Hellen’s face. “Then what are your plans?”
“I didn’t have any plans at first, but now I do,” Darcy said with a smile, “I’ll help you take care of your brother tomorrow, and you go on a blind date instead of me. How about that?”
“No!” Hellen refused.
She had always thought that Everet and Darcy would soon become a couple.
They just needed one confession.
But now, that didn’t seem to be the case.
At Darcy’s constant request, Hellen was finally forced to agree.
But she was more curious about the reason why her brother pushed the woman he liked out.
He was like a fool.
