While Sarah was hesitating outside, the bodyguards had already caught up.
"Sixth Miss, what’s wrong?"
"I’m going to buy a cup of milk tea inside, you wait for here."
Sarah took a deep breath and strode into the milk tea shop.
"Give a pearl milk tea, with extra pearls! Do you have chocolate chips and coconut jelly? Add more of those too, and I also want a milk cap!"
"Uh... our shop doesn’t sell pearl milk tea like that."
"Well, now it does! I am the sixth lady of the Grant Family, my pearl milk tea has to be different from others. Just do as I say, money is not an issue."
The Grant family’s high-profile style, Sarah carries on her brother’s legacy.
However, despite revealing her identity, she still didn’t manage to catch Henry Willow’s attention.
Sarah had no choice but to step forward and poke the clerk who was happily chatting with Henry Willow: "Didn’t you hear my instructions clearly?"
"Miss Grant, my colleague is already making your milk tea."
"I want two cups, are you trying to slack off? Believe it or not, I’ll complain about you?"
Finally squeezing out the clerk who was reluctant to leave, Sarah glanced at Henry Willow as if she just noticed him.
"What a coincidence, Henry Willow! Didn’t expect to see you here drinking milk tea?"
Only after being called out, Henry Willow glanced at Sarah, smiling slyly, "Indeed, what a coincidence!"
"I’m not specifically here to find you. I was shopping in the mall opposite, happened to be thirsty, so I ca in to buy a cup of milk tea." Sarah pointed to the bodyguards outside holding large bags, "See that, those are what I just bought."
"You’ve probably maxed out several of Young Master Grant’s shopping cards again, haven’t you?" Henry Willow teased.
"I’m spending my brother’s money, why are you worried about it?" Sarah rolled her eyes at him, "Anyway, our Grant Family has plenty of money! Besides, this ti my brother insisted on compensating . You know, before he went to Europe to participate in an auction, spent over a billion to bid on a ring, to propose to my future sister-in-law!"
"That woman hasn’t even entered the house yet and can make my brother think about her so much, she’s definitely no pushover. Once she’s in, she’ll surely take away my favoritism, leaving , the little sister-in-law, suffering injustices. The money I spent today isn’t even a fraction of her engagent ring."
Henry Willow glanced at the huge sapphire ring on Sarah’s right hand: "That engagent ring you ntioned is now on your hand."
"Because my brother’s proposal didn’t succeed, in anger, he gave the ring to . Before my future sister-in-law enters the door, I have to reclaim what she didn’t want. This is no different from an unloved little sister wearing her sister’s unwanted clothes, you see how aggrieved I am!"
Upon hearing this, Henry Willow smiled without saying anything.
She got the ring, and she demanded compensation, yet she can still portray herself as an unlovable, neglected cabbage.
"Hey, by the way. How did you know the ring my brother wanted to propose with is the one I’m wearing?" Sarah found it odd.
"Uh... because I saw the news last ti about Young Master Grant spending a fortune on that ring at the auction."
Actually, the truth is, Henry Willow also attended that auction.
Auctions allow anonymous bids, and at that ti, Henry Willow attended in a wheelchair, inconvenient to show himself.
Thus, Finn Grant didn’t know that the buyer who drove the price of the sapphire ring up five tis was Henry Willow.
But you couldn’t bla Henry Willow; it was Conrad Sterling, who was the mastermind.
Conrad Sterling probably guessed Finn Grant wanted to bid on the ring to give to Anna Thornton, so he sent Henry Willow to challenge him.
It would be best if Finn Grant couldn’t get the ring, but if he insisted, let him spend more unnecessary money.
It was evident how large a strategy President Sterling deployed to get Anna.
The key is, not only did Young Master Grant spend unnecessary money, but the ring couldn’t even be given away. First, use a diversion to lure him to Europe, then swiftly secure a marriage license with Anna to solidify the relationship.
Conrad Sterling’s series of moves made even Henry Willow, this veteran, have to bow down.
Anyway, he has completely abandoned the idea of pursuing Anna Thornton. Even if given ten tis more guts, he wouldn’t dare compete with Young Master Sterling for a woman.
"By the way, Henry Willow, I see your injuries seem to have healed. My brother, really! It’s the modern era now; it’s perfectly normal for n and won to break up if they don’t get along. We’re all adults now, no one is necessarily responsible for anyone else. I’m not afraid of playing, so why did he have to send soone to teach you a lesson?"
Sarah put on an attitude as if she had understood, not caring about anything anymore.
After going through such a big circle, Sarah’s eyes finally landed on Pop, and she casually asked, "By the way, who’s this little baby? Haven’t seen them before. I haven’t heard of any of your relatives having such a small child."
"What do you think?" Henry Willow asked in return.
"It’s not your child, right?... Could this be the real reason you broke up with ?"
Sarah’s eyes cautiously fixed on Henry Willow, nervously awaiting the man’s answer.
Finally, when the other party gave a small nod, Sarah’s pretended calmness couldn’t hold anymore.
Just at that ti, the pearl milk tea she ordered was ready.
Sarah took it and splashed the whole cup in Henry Willow’s face: "You bastard! So you had a child before being with ?"
"I thought you were just a playboy, but I didn’t expect you’d make the third party?"
"Damn Henry Willow, I hate you! I’ll never want to see you again!"
"..."
After Sarah ran away crying, Henry Willow wiped his face expressionlessly.
Seeing the milk tea shop girl he flirted with earlier approach with a cup of milk tea, Henry Willow asked proactively: "You’re not planning to splash..."
Bingo! Got it right!
Before the words were finished, Henry Willow’s face welcod a second cup of milk tea.
"Didn’t you say earlier that this is just your friend’s child? How did it beco yours? You really are a liar, a bastard!"
Little Pop was eating chicken wings with gusto, shocked and bewildered by this sudden scene where the veteran took a tumble.
Henry Willow sighed and cleaned himself first.
Then, he asked Pop: "Sweetheart, now do you believe what uncle said? Pretty girls all have bad tempers, right?"
Pop nodded, nodded.
"But you still like Uncle Henry Willow, don’t you?"
Pop nodded, nodded.
"Indeed, Sweetheart is the sweetest. You’re a pretty exception. That’s enough for today; uncle will definitely bring you for fried chicken next ti."
Henry Willow put down the half-eaten fried chicken Pop had, wiped her greasy little hands and the crumbs-stained little mouth.
Making sure there were no traces left that Young Master Sterling could use against him, he took the child back.
Back at the hospital, he heard that Conrad Sterling’s ward had a relative visiting.
Henry Willow thought it was Anna Thornton, and poked his head in, only to see Marilyn Ford instead.
