Chapter 84: Slapped in Her Face
Two hours later, William Scott’s mother and father fell asleep. He turned to look at Xenia Lewis and spoke, “You should sleep for a while too.”
Xenia Lewis shook her head and said, “I’m not tired. Besides, if I sleep, it’ll be so lonely driving alone.”
William Scott smiled and said, “It’s only a short journey. When I was in the army, I drove for a full 12 hours without stopping.”
Xenia Lewis said, “How can you compare this to your job? In any case, I’ll just chat with you. Why don’t you tell stories about your ti in the army? Otherwise, it’ll be boring. You can also give so inspiration.”
William Scott pondered for a mont as he selected so interesting incidents.
He could only talk about so trivial stuff. Those matters that involved confidential information were all forbidden.
However, the stories he shared were also not incidents that would ever happen to ordinary people. So Xenia Lewis listened with relish.
And so, ti seed to pass very quickly. In no ti, they were approaching William Scott’s grandmother’s house.
His grandmother’s house was in the mountains. His parents and his uncle’s family all wanted to bring his grandmother to the city. However, his grandmother was already used to living in the mountains and she refused to leave. In the end, the two families could only follow her wishes. After all, William Scott’s third uncle’s family stayed with her, so there was still soone to take care of his grandmother.
After entering the mountain path, the scenery on both sides of the road beca more beautiful. Xenia Lewis beca even more excited. She took out her phone and kept snapping photos.
By this ti, Janna Sands was already awake and she too beca excited. Graham Scott knew what his wife was thinking. He coughed lightly and said, “When you see my brother and the others later, don’t say so much.”
Janna Sands chuckled and said, “I’m not thinking of saying anything. Don’t worry, my son has already taught . If we want to pretend, we can’t say it out loud. We just have to let others see it. As long as Yvette shows up, it will be enough for your brother and the others to have a rude shock. Besides, Lydia Connor is from Yvette’s company. This ti, she will be so shocked that her jaw will drop.”
Xenia Lewis’ face darkened and she turned to look at William Scott. He hurriedly said, “Lydia is my uncle’s daughter-in-law. She works in your company and seems to be a manager.”
......
Xenia Lewis quickly nodded and said, “Oh, Lydia Connor. What a coincidence. I didn’t expect that your relatives would be working in my company.”
Janna Sands chuckled and said, “Yvette, if you can take care of her, then do so. If you can’t, you don’t have to force yourself.”
Graham Scott interjected swiftly, “Taking care of her? How can the managent of a big company be like a family business? That’s all about the system and rules. Countless people are watching her. If she does anything out of line, she won’t have the authority as a CEO.”
Janna Sands rolled her eyes and said, “I’m just saying.”
Xenia Lewis hurriedly said, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. Since William’s sister-in-law has beco a manager, it ans that she has the capability. It shouldn’t be difficult to promote her. I naturally need people I trust.”
Janna Sands snorted and said, “Look at Yvette. She has such high EQ. She’s not as inflexible as you.”
As they spoke, William Scott’s car had already arrived at the village. There were even colorful flags on both sides of the road. They followed the flags and soon arrived at the entrance of Grandma’s house.
In front of Grandma’s house, his uncles’ family mbers were standing at the door chatting. Grandma’s birthday was tomorrow, and not many relatives were here yet.
“Why isn’t Second Brother here yet? Didn’t he say that he would be here soon?” One of the won looked at the intersection and comnted casually.
William Scott’s third aunt was a blunt village woman. She replied, “Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry? There’s nothing much to do today.”
Another woman chuckled and said, “You have no idea. Your second sister-in-law said that William has found a girlfriend, and she’s a CEO. I’m just anxious to take a look.”
She imdiately exclaid exaggeratedly, “William is so capable. He actually found a CEO girlfriend.”
The other woman rolled her eyes at her and said, “Look at you. Don’t you know what kind of person your second sister-in-law is? She’s so prideful all the ti. Seeing that Lydia is working in a big company, she boasted that William has also found a capable girlfriend. The funniest thing is that she even said that Lydia’s boss is his girlfriend. Do you know how powerful Lydia’s boss is? She’s young, beautiful, and so capable. How can she be William’s girlfriend? It’s really hilarious.”
“I see. That’s a little too much.” The other won also seed to agree.
“Wow, a rcedes-Benz S-Class. Whose car is this?” Bernard Scott looked at the car that was slowly driving over and before he looked at the others in confusion.
The won shook their heads and said, “I don’t know. I’ve never heard of anyone buying such a car. If anyone bought such a luxury car, they would definitely say sothing to show off.”
Lydia Connor was stunned for a mont. She suddenly pointed at the car and stamred, “That… car…”
“What’s wrong with that car?” Bernard Scott asked curiously.
Lydia Connor looked even more flustered and said, “That car belongs to our company. Ordinary employees can’t use it.”
“Your company’s car? That… who borrowed your company’s car?” They asked subconsciously.
Lydia Connor grinned and said, “This car is for the managent who is in charge of business deals. Usually, only CEO Quinn can use the car.”
But their expressions imdiately changed. “No way. Could it be…”
At this mont, the car stopped. When the door opened, Janna Sands was the first to jump out.
“Janna!” One of the won imdiately exclaid. So it was just a suspicion earlier on, but now it was completely proven.
Janna Sands smiled brightly and said, “Sorry, we’re late. Why are you all at the door? It’s as if you’re welcoming us.”
William Scott chuckled in his heart. His mother was really a little dramatic. However, this kind of flamboyance made him feel that life was more realistic.
Xenia Lewis belonged to the younger generation, so she quickly opened the car door and got out.
“CEO Quinn!” Lydia Connor exclaid.
Xenia Lewis actually did not know Lydia Connor at all, but with her voice, she imdiately guessed that she was Lydia Connor. She smiled and nodded at her.
“Yvette, co, let introduce you to them. This is William’s eldest uncle and his wife…”
Xenia Lewis hurriedly greeted them one by one.
The couple had nothing much to say. They just felt that William Scott’s girlfriend was beautiful. They heard that she was a CEO. However, William Scott’s eldest aunt’s expression was quite ugly at this mont. Her mouth was agape, and she could not utter a word. She had never believed what Janna Sands said and had even mocked her. Now that the girlfriend was here, this was definitely a slap in her face.
