Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 375

Everyone was stunned.

Adeline stood up in a hurry. "Dad? Dad, what's wrong?"

"What... What's going on?" Timothy was frightened. After regaining her mind, she suddenly jumped on Charles and cried, "Honey, what's wrong? Wake up!"

She finally managed to live a good life. If the old man died now, wouldn't she have to live a hard life again?

That must not happen, the old man can't die!

"What are you fools doing here? Hurry up and call an ambulance!" Timothy shouted madly at the crowd, "It’s you who treat the meal today, if something happens to my husband, I will never let you off!"

Adeline couldn't care about her dirty words at this time. She hurriedly said to Jessica, "Jessica, call 120! What if something happens to your grandfather?"

Grandpa Smith who had always been calm was a little flustered at this time.

"It will be okay. He just fainted, you don't have to be too nervous," Jessica looked around and said gently.

Edward and Grandpa Smith looked at each other and seemed to have figured out something. "Jessica, are you sure your grandpa's okay?"

"It’s just some sleeping pills," Jessica said.

Adeline was stunned. "Why did you do that to your grandfather?"

"It’s nothing. Grandpa hasn't had a good rest recently and he won't take medicine, so I help him," Jessica said softly.

Timothy stopped crying, stood up and rushed to Jessica. "You bitch, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill my husband and harm me?"

She stretched out her hand and wanted to slap Jessica on the face.

Jessica dodged and clapped her hands twice. Four strong men pushed the door in and grabbed Timothy without expression.

"Let go of me! You let go of me!" Timothy desperately struggled. "Bah, little bitch, when my husband wakes up, he will never let you off!"

Jessica took off a chair cover, rolled it and shoved it into her mouth casually.

"As you can see, grandpa is fascinated by this woman. Who knows she might hold back the Lewis and the Smith family. If we let her continue staying, she will only bring disaster."

Jessica used to disguise her feelings in front of them because she was afraid that they didn't like her true self. But after this, she knew that in the face of benefits, it was just trivial matter, whether they like her or not.

Edward and Grandpa Smith looked at each other, and they whispered a few words.

"A waiter drugged the wine, and we all fainted. When we woke up, we found that Miss Lewis was missing. Maybe she was taken away by some enemy," Grandpa Smith coughed and said slowly.

Jessica smiled. "You can enjoy your time celebrating. I'll find the robber."

With that, she turned and walked out. Several men followed her while taking Timothy.

"Jessica, what robber? Why didn't I see it? Jessica, you...... "Adeline didn't know what these people were talking about. She wanted to chase after Jessica.

Edward took her to sit down. "If you don't want to see your stepmother again in the future, don't ask again."

Adeline glanced at her unconscious old father, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

God knows how much that godforsaken bitch humiliated her back then. She wished she never came back!

…

After dinner, James was going to send Angela back to the Bamboo Estate first before returning to the company.

But as soon as he got out of the restaurant, he noticed someone was following them. He turned his head and looked behind him with a slight frown. "I saw someone I know, go to the car first and I'll be there right away."

This restaurant required membership, people who came here were basically from the same circle. It was normal to meet some familiar faces.

Angela nodded, took the car key and left.

James looked back and found that the person who followed him had reached a corner and was waiting for him to go there. He loosened his necktie and walked over without expression.

He was followed by a man in his forties. He was plump and handsome, but his temperament was feminine.

James had not seen this man several times, but he had strong impression of the latter - this man is his grandmother’s lover.

"Why are you following me?" James's eyes were cold.

Noah Foster smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He was not embarrassed when James dodged. "If you really want to know what’s exactly going on, you have to ask your grandmother. She only asked me to call you over, but she didn't say what it was for."

James seldom expressed his emotions, but he didn't conceal his disgust at all in front of Noah.

"I have nothing to say to her. Don't follow me anymore," he said coldly and wanted to leave.

Noah was not anxious. "James, think about it, your grandmother has never been a person who gives up easily. If you don't talk to her, I'm afraid she will have to ask Miss Chante to talk about it next time."

James stopped, jerked his tie, turned around and glared at him with cold eyes.

"She's right in the car ahead. Let's go." Noah smiled and gave a welcome gesture.

James followed him and got into a Rolls Royce.

A woman was sitting at the backseat. She was wearing exquisite makeup and fashionable clothes, looking young. She looked like she was only in her fifties. However, from the lines on her neck, it could be seen that she was already not young.

"I’ve not seen you for more than ten years, you look more and more like your grandpa." Ela Reynolds put down her cell phone, smiled and wanted to hold his hand.

James dodged and straightaway cut to the point, “What do you want?"

He rarely hated a person, but his own grandmother was one of them.

"No matter how, I’m still your grandmother, is this how you treat your elders?" Ela snorted. "Your mother despised me and always accused me for not educating my son well. Has she done well?"

James said frigidly, "You slept my grandfather for money and sold my father to the Harvey family in the end. Have you remembered you’re an elder when you decided to abandon your responsibility?"

Noah sighed. "James, you can't say that."

"Your grandmother really liked your grandpa back then, so she would rather get drugged and be despised just to be with him. It's like Miss Chante likes you and she insists to marry you. It’s all because of love."

"As for divorcing your grandfather afterwards, it was also because..."

James couldn't bear to hear Noah saying that Angela was same as his grandmother and he directly interrupted, "Shut up! What are you? When's your turn talking here?"

Noah's face froze, he was a little embarrassed and angry.

"James, he’s your elder too." Before you hit the dog, look at the master. James obviously didn't take her seriously!

James pouted and said sarcastically, "Anyone could claim that they’re elders having eaten few years more rice than me these days."

He was obviously criticizing Noah.

Noah pulled down his face. "It’s fine being reckless when you’re young, but as an elder, I have to advise you not to be too egocentric, otherwise you won't be far from death."
