CHAPTER 136
He scanned the people around him, his gaze icy and indifferent. The lively chatter of those nearby fell silent, and even Solara in front of him was taken aback. What was up with this guy? His sudden cold stare was downright creepy. Ms. Hutton, standing beside him, was also pondering the situation. Thomas turned to her and said something, prompting Poppy to nod before strutting away in her high heels. Just moments ago, people had been curious about the new woman suddenly appearing next to Thomas, but before they could ask, she was already gone."I swear, if my grandfather's condition worsens, I'll make sure you pay for it. I'll have you skinned alive and thrown in prison, where you'll spend the rest of your life," Robison spat, his words dripping with venom. Thomas looked at him, unfazed by the threat.Meanwhile, Solara felt a headache coming on. She was stuck dealing with her son-in-law's nonsense and cursed under her breath, wishing he wouldn't drag her down with him. With a smile, T
CHAPTER 135
Thomas received a phone call from his mother-in-law. "Where are you?" Her tone was filled with frustration, likely because of the incident from the night before. "I'm at home. Ava has already left for work." "My dad's condition suddenly worsened for no apparent reason. You need to get to the hospital right away." The implication was clear: Solara was ready to blame him for whatever had happened while he was supposed to be taking care of her father. "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill my dad? I don't care what you're doing, just get to the hospital now!" Listening to her harsh words, Thomas kept silent, his expression cold, but she hung up before he could respond. The old man seemed fine when he left yesterday. What could have possibly gone wrong? Thomas needed to check in with his informant and get the scoop on what was happening. He also called for someone to pick him up. Going to the hospital would likely mean facing a lot of anger, so it was better to take his time.
CHAPTER 134
"Mom, that's not right. We shouldn't be thinking like this. Besides, Grandpa's health is serious," Ava said firmly, unwilling to let this conversation linger. Even though her grandfather was getting older, that didn't give anyone the right to discuss his affairs so casually. Her mother looked at her, shaking her head in frustration. It was clear she was disappointed. She pointed a finger at Ava, her voice rising. "Are you really going to be this naive? Just look at how clueless you still are, choosing Thomas over us when we had a falling out. Now, with your grandfather's substantial inheritance on the line, you can't just let us miss out on it!" Ava hated hearing this. She had been swayed by such thoughts before, questioning her choice of Thomas, but not anymore. Money was essential in this world, but it wasn't everything. "Mom, stop overthinking it. Grandpa is considering giving us something, and it's not insignificant. What more do you want? The fact that he's even thinking of u
CHAPTER 133
"Can you even speak? If you can't, just shut up.You should know your place. You being allowed in this room is a privilege for you." Zach was siding with Robison; they were practically two peas in a pod. "Don't act all high and mighty just because you have a different last name. I'm still his granddaughter, and I have my grandfather's blood running through me. I won't let anyone take away my share."Just then, the door swung open, and several pairs of eyes turned toward it. The atmosphere shifted, becoming tense, as another person entered the room- Ava. Ava had been discussing matters with Jason at the office when she received a phone call about thedistribution of her grandfather's inheritance. Those four words sent a chill down her spine.On her way over, she had called Thomas to check if her grandfather's condition had worsened. Thomas assured her that he was eating well and sleeping soundly, and there were no issues.As Ava stepped into the house, her heart raced with confusion. S
CHAPTER 132
Thomas had been in the hospital room for a while when someone knocked on the door. He recognized the person he had arranged to meet. They stepped into a secure corridor, and the man said that Iris had also been called away by a phone call and left in a car. Thomas instructed him to keep an eye on things at the hospital, but his mind was racing with other thoughts. He pondered that no matter how foolish Iris might be, she wouldn't be thinking about inheritance at a time like this, especially since the doctors had assured them that the grandpa was no longer in danger."Have you noticed anything strange at thehospital lately? Did Iris come by here before? She seemed a bit off then too, didn't she?" The man nodded, recalling the last time he had seen Iris. He remembered that she had come with someone else, and they both appeared quite normal."Last time, she seemed to be with a doctor and a lawyer. They stayed for about half an hour and everything seemed fine. I don't know why she was so
CHAPTER 131
Thomas wasn't very good at takingcare of patients; he mostly relied on the nurses for that. The old man had just taken his medication and was still asleep, lying there quietly. Thomas found this whole situation rather dull. It seemed pointless to be pushed around for such an easy task. He couldn't help but wonder how the old man would feel if he knew that none of his grandchildren, whom he cared for were willing totake care of him. As he was lost in thought, he heard some commotion outside. He didn't want to pay too much attention, but the argument was too loud to ignore. Then he heard some familiar names being shouted. Curiosity piqued, he opened the door and saw that it was indeed familiar faces- Iris and Urielwere arguing in the hallway."I don't know what makes you think you're so important, acting like you're the backbone of the family. You're just a loser!”Besides, this isn't even your business; it's all Robison’s responsibility!" Iris was known for her sharp tongue and loud
