Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 62

Riley’s palm was gently clenched into a fist under the blanket, “Euan, I had said that we are just colleagues, he is just my leader.”

A tint of cold aura was shown on Euan's face, “If that’s the case, it seems that it has nothing to do with you no matter how I treat him.”

He would do what he had said. He would do something cruel if he wanted to do it to William, “Leave him alone. I’ve come back as you wished. Shouldn’t you let him go since you have achieved your goal?”

Thinking of her cuddled in William’s arms, Euan wanted him to be gone forever!

“Huh!” He hummed coldly to show his disdain and anger.

Since retreating was not the way, then maybe she should change her way to deal with it, “If you want to do it, then do it. You don’t have to threaten me with this anymore.”

Euan hated that Riley could easily make him angry with such a simple and careless attitude.

A monotonous ringtone rang from the phone, breaking the awkward atmosphere between them. Only Euan still used such old fashioned mobile phone ringtone.

Euan frowned. He took his phone and went to the balcony in the ward. Then he answered.

He was holding the mobile phone with some strength with his long fingers. From Riley’s angle of view, she could see the handsome side view of his face and heard his piercing cold voice.

“Speak.”

Riley trembled when he said that.

“What about the Watsons?”

Watsons? Was the Watsons he mentioned just now her family?

Riley tried to pay more attention to listen clearly, but Euan moved to the edge of the balcony and pulled up the glass door with his long arm.

The voices were completely cut off by the transparent glass door.

Euan did not move a bit. Even his gesture of holding the phone did not change. The fingers on his other hand were tapping on the balcony fence rhythmically.

Riley felt suspicious. Euan mentioned the Watson family. Had anything happened to the Watson family? Was it about their business? Or was it about other matters?

The Watson’s business condition had been bad. Freya and Lauren had directly asked for money, not just once or twice. Was there a greater problem now?

After cracking her head about the matter for some time, Euan was back after finishing the call.

Riley pretended that she did not hear anything, and Euan did not mention anything either, “We’ll rest here today and go back to JD city tomorrow.”

Those were the last words that Euan had said to her in the next two hours because Euan had left after that and a female nurse was guarding in the ward.

Both of them stared at each other. Riley could just take out her phone and scroll it.

When she tapped and opened her WeChat, Riley sent a crying emoji to Sarah.

“My dear, you are online at last! Why can’t I get through when I call you? I saw that you were sent to the AIDS village by the hospital. Damn, have your superior in the hospital lost his mind!”

Well…

From the words, Riley could imagine Sarah’s exaggerating and fierce gestures when she said that.

“It might be because there’s no signal in the mountain village. I’m now in some other place, and I’ll be back to JD city tomorrow.”

“Great! That is good news! It’s good that you have left that place! My God, I was scared to death!”

“There’s another bad news. I was unfortunately injured while performing a treatment. I’m lying in the hospital now, needing some care. Remember to bring me some chicken bone soup and turtle soup that your mom made.”

“Fuck! Where are you now? I’ll go and meet you now. Is your injury serious? Is anyone accompanying you?”

Riley chuckled, “Yes…but…”

“But what? What do you mean?”

“It’s Euan…”

That end of the call was silent for some time, and Sarah was obviously calmer and not as exaggerating as before. She was obedient again, “Hmm, I’ll bring you the soup later. You should rest. Take care.”

That lass! She definitely couldn’t be her backup in critical moments.

What was more unfortunate was that the call from the George’s mansion came in about an hour later!

Seeing that the call was from the George’s mansion, Riley almost threw her phone away. The call from the mansion would be either from Anika or Jakub. Both of them were people who she did not dare to provoke.

After calming down and taking a few deep breaths, she answered the call, “Hello…”

Riley grasped on the blanket nervously as she quietly waited for the person from the other side to speak. Finally, a voice came in after she waited for a while.

“It’s me.”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Jakub’s firm voice was heard. Riley almost fell off the bed. She used all her might to hold the phone still. Her palm was drenched with sweat.

“Dad…Is there anything you want to talk to me about?”

Riley lowered her voice subconsciously. That was the first time she received a phone call from her father-in-law since she and Euan got married. The nervousness and pressure that she was experiencing at that moment were obvious.

At that moment, Jakub was in the study in the George’s mansion. The stratagem and profundity that he had accumulated from his business life all these years could be seen in his unpredictable eyes. Hendrix was like a kid standing in front of his work desk made from Phoebe Zhennan wood.

There was not just a difference in age between Hendrix and Jakub.

“Did Hendrix do anything recently?”

Huh?

Jakub called her just to speak about Hendrix? Riley was in a dilemma. Should she tell Jakub as Hendrix’s sister-in-law?

Thinking about it, she felt that she should not tell him. If what Hendrix had done was known by Jakub, he would be beaten even if Jakub loved him most.

Riley said with a gentle chuckle, “Dad, Hendrix had just returned to this country. We had not met frequently. I’m not very sure about his life.”

Hendrix, who was standing at a corner was silently thanking his sister-in-law. ‘Riley, you’re the best sister-in-law!’

Hendrix took a deep breath. He felt like he had escaped death.

However, Jakub was not someone who would easily be deceived, “You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the George’s family. You’ll be managing the whole George family in the future. Hiding and tolerating the mistakes are not good for you or anyone in our George’s family.”

“Dad…I know what you mean, but …I’m not sure about what happened. Why don’t you ask Hendrix personally?”

Breathe, breathe, breathe. Relax.
