Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 267

"Mom, what's wrong? I just went to sleep, and you fell?" Addy cried as she ran to the hospital. She groped on Grandma Eva as if she were caressing her.

"Halbert, it's my fault. I shouldn't have gone to sleep. I didn't expect that Mom would go around when I was asleep." Addy was jealous as she saw Halbert and Cathy being together.

"It's not your fault. Mom might have not slept well. Let's wait for the results and see if there is anything else wrong with her." Halbert comfort Addy as he saw her crying so sadly.

What happened a few days ago made Halbert hate Grandma Eva very much. He had told her that he would not like Addy, but she still kept pushing his buttons.

Halbert felt that Addy was also very poor. She was forced to marry him by Grandma Eva, but she couldn't get his love and be alone. Halbert wanted to compensate her with money, but she forsook everything when they divorced and didn't give him a hard time.

"But I feel so guilty. You asked me to take care of Mom, but I couldn't." Addy sobbed. She now felt at ease. As long as Mom didn't wake up, she would be safe.

"It's not your fault," said Halbert as he held Cathy's hand, which made Addy feel so uncomfortable.

"Dad, how's Grandma?" Richard quickly put down his work and rushed here as he heard the news of Grandma's fall. Although Grandma Eva was not welcome in the family, she was an elder and he had to take care of her.

"She's safe now, but she may not wake up for a while. She is too old to recover from her injuries," Halbert said to Richard.

Richard looked at his grandmother. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her face was pale and wrinkled.

"What's the matter?" Richard looked at Addy.

"It has nothing to do with Ms. Cliff. She was taking a nap and grandma was walking outside and fell," Halbert said.

Halbert had been holding Cathy's hand all the time. He wanted to explain his business to her, but he didn't have a chance. When they were back to the car, Halbert wanted to explain to her.

"No. It's all my fault. I should have believed you." Cathy covered Halbert's mouth.

Richard was envious to see their parents loved each other so much. When could he be able to be with the one he loved?

However, what happened recently annoyed him. All the evidences were unfavorable to Amy, but she seemed not to be aware of it. It made him feel strange, as if he could got the news, Amy should also know it.

Anyway, Richard had to ask Amy about it.

"Allison, what should we do? Amy is trying to save the HD Group. Our efforts may lead to no end." Sophia found Allison and told her everything she knew.

"Lead to no end? It won't be. That's fine. It will make Richard feel at loss, and he'll definitely ask Amy what's going on. But it doesn't matter, he wouldn't know anything. Let's continue our plans. Don't be too nervous, I have everything under control." Allison hated Sophia for being so timid.

"Oh, fine. I'm so worried that they can see through our plan and we'll fail." Once Sophia heard that Allison had a detailed plan, she was relieved.

"Just do what I told you. Don't miss that William guy. When you get the things done, what kind of man you can't get? A heartless man like man doesn't deserve your love." Allison gave Sophia a blank look. Sophia was such a stupid woman and she wanted to frame Amy. Without Allison, this woman would have been kicked out of the Carter family.

"I didn't miss him. I just couldn't lose face to let my friends know that my husband has a mistress." Sophia didn't like William at all, and she didn't mind if he had a mistress. What Sophia cared about most was her identity as the Ms. Sophia of the Carter family.

Sophia and Allison discussed some details before they set apart.

When Richard wanted to find Amy, he got good news that the inspector had been found. They'd been in hiding and it took his men great efforts to get them.

The two men were on their knees, trembling. When Richard entered, they both got nervous.

"Tell me who made you do it." Richard looked cold as he saw them, who had been beaten up.

"No, no one let us do it. We were careless in the inspection, so that batch of products are not qualified," said the fatter inspector.

"Careless? Well, you don't seem like having a good beat." Richard turned to the men in black.

The men in black clothes then went up to give them a hard beat, and their teeth had been knocked out.

"Tell the truth. I want to hear the truth." Richard slowly got up from his seat and walked over to the two inspectors. He looked at their swollen faces and was satisfied with the men in black.

"No one asked us to do this. We were careless. We were careless," They still refused to tell the truth.

Richard was about to give them another beat when the other man gave in.

"I'll tell! Please stop." said one of them.

"Don't. Miss Newell has been so mice to us that we can't betray her." The one who insisted on not telling the truth, sold Amy out.

"Here's the thing, Mr. Carter. We're brothers and our family is very poor. Our mother needed money to cure her illness, but we didn't have money. At that time, a good person gave us a lot of money and our money got cured. To thank that person, we did something horrible to you." They made up a story.

"Who was that person?" Richard had heard Miss Newell, but he had to make sure of it.

"Miss Newell from the Newell Group. She knew our family was in trouble and offered us a million to save our mother."
