Chapter 327: Chapter 326
But it seed like a coincidence.
Yet, he heard it again from Fatty’s mouth.
He raised an eyebrow, intrigued, “How are you going to make my company pay? Go on, let’s hear it. I’ll see if it scares , and if it does, maybe I’ll give your mom a call.”
Only then did Fatty realize what he had said.
He bluntly replied, “I’ll make your company pay by yelling downstairs, saying you abuse children. It’ll ruin your reputation.”
Edwin Blake could never be deceived by such words.
Unmoved, he said, “Have you ever attacked before? Sotis I’m not at the company, so if you cause a scene, you might not see .”
“No, if you haven’t provoked , why would I attack your company?”
Fatty’s intellect was sharp enough to catch Edwin Blake fishing for information.
“Alright, then you can leave. I won’t let you use my phone. You’ll have to find another way to contact your mom. I have no idea where your mom’s money is anyway.”
Edwin Blake walked straight to the door and tossed Fatty out.
Then he swiftly shut and locked the door.
Fatty stood outside the door in a fury, “Edwin Blake, is this how you’re treating ? I’ll definitely make you regret it.”
Saying that,
he stord downstairs, found Old Lady Blake’s number, and called Ivy River.
The mont the call connected,
Fatty’s worried voice ca through, “Mommy, where have you gone? Why didn’t you tell and my sister? You sent to Grandpa’s yesterday, and today you want at Grandma Zane’s, so where next?!”
Upon hearing this, Ivy River’s heart lted, “Fatty, Mommy is in Seaton for sothing, I’ll be back the day after tomorrow. If you want to go to Grandpa’s tomorrow, ask Edwin Blake to take you.”
“Seaton?! Why didn’t you take and Emmy with you!”
Fatty was very frustrated and shouted to Emmy, “Emmy, co here quickly. Mommy’s gone to Seaton and didn’t take us; we’ll be left behind again tomorrow!”
Emmy let go of Old Lady Blake and ran over, questioning Ivy River in her childish voice, “Mommy! Ivy River! This ti you’ve gone too far, why didn’t you take us.”
“It’s a bit urgent here. You and your brother be good at ho, okay? When you have holidays in a couple of months, I’ll take you to Grandpa’s, alright?”
Ivy River coaxed gently.
Emmy whined, “Mommy, why don’t you take leave to bring us along, don’t you know I miss you a lot.”
“You just want to take leave and go out. You’re at Grandma Zane’s, right? Hand the phone to Grandma Zane, quickly!”
Ivy River unhesitatingly exposed Emmy’s true intentions.
Emmy snorted, but still ran off, “Grandma Zane, it’s Mommy’s call. She has sothing to tell you.”
Old Lady Blake had long been waiting nearby.
But she still put on an act when she answered the phone, “What’s up? So you rember this old lady exists, huh?”
Ivy River placated her, “Grandma, I’m busy out here. I recently won an award in the Traditional dicine Competition, did you know?”
“Hmph, I didn’t know. How would I know your affairs? You’re busy, focus on your work, no need to rember .”
Old Lady Blake coldly responded.
“Hehe, Grandma, I’m leaving those two kids in your care for a couple of days. Don’t be mad, I’ll visit once I’m back.”
“Alright, if you don’t co to see when you’re back, I really will be upset.”
Old Lady Blake suddenly thought of sothing and said, “By the way, why didn’t you tell Grandma when you were bullied at the Traditional dicine Competition?”
Ivy River smiled helplessly, “Grandma, that matter was resolved long ago. Why bring it up now?”
“Such a big matter, and it was held right here in Seaton. Why didn’t you speak up earlier? If you had, Grandma wouldn’t have let it happen.”
“Next ti, next ti, I’ll definitely find you to flaunt your prowess, rest assured!”
Old Lady Blake couldn’t help but curse, “Edwin Blake is such a good-for-nothing!”
Ivy River chid in, “Grandma, please stop. You know I don’t like hearing that na.”
“Truly useless, how did I tell him before to protect you, and this is how he does it! Really deserves a good scolding!”
Done ranting, Old Lady Blake shouted angrily upstairs, “Edwin Blake, get down here!”
Upstairs, Edwin Blake sneezed involuntarily.
Who was cursing him?
But it seed like soone was calling him from downstairs.
“Grandma, I’ve got sothing here, can’t chat now. I’ll co find you after I get back.”
Old Lady Blake cut her off, “Wait a minute, why are you back in Seaton?”
“Just a small matter, ca back quickly. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a couple of days.”
“No way, you’re not one to rush like this, is it because,” Old Lady Blake paused, covering the phone, “is it because your father is sick?”
Hearing this, Ivy River let out a helpless sigh.
“Not too bad, just a minor issue, a fit of anger probably because my brother pissed him off, but no worries, I’ve checked. His health is good, no problem living for decades.”
Old Lady Blake suggested, “Maybe have your dad co to Seaton? It’s quite livable here too.”
“Grandma, can’t talk anymore, there’s sothing urgent here.”
Ivy River deftly changed the subject, and after hanging up,
she couldn’t help but lant, “Having the old man in Seaton would be like a death sentence, unless he doesn’t want his ears, otherwise today he’d hear from the old man, and tomorrow from the old lady.”
Finishing those words,
Noah Wilson curiously approached, touching her forehead, “Boss, you don’t have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?”
Ivy River rolled her eyes, “Do you have anything, if not, hurry up and leave, stop bothering in the kitchen.”
“Alright, then continue cooking, but save so of the porridge you’re making for Uncle for , I want so too.”
Noah Wilson looked at the pot of simring porridge and couldn’t help but speak.
Ivy River bluntly said, “You’re eyeing the bird’s nest, right? Never knew you liked porridge; you used to hate sweet porridge the most.”
Noah Wilson, being a southerner, had always had salty porridge.
But since following Ivy River, he’d beco a mix.
Noah Wilson’s little sche exposed, he laughed awkwardly, “Hehe, you guessed it, Boss. The bird’s nest you added looks a lot. Just let have so to supplent my nutrition.”
“What, are you malnourished?”
“Yeah, yeah, look, my face has beco gaunt from hunger.”
Ivy River glanced, unceremoniously pinching Noah Wilson’s face, “Your face doesn’t seem thinner, only that it’s grown rounder since your return two days ago.”
After saying this, Ivy River covered her ears.
As expected, Noah Wilson shouted while rushing out of the kitchen, “Grace Foster! Quick, check, is my face big?”
Ivy River chuckled and shook her head, continuing to watch the fla.
…
While driving on the road, Ivy River was calling Gale Wiles.
A car suddenly rushed out from a corner.
Seeing this, Ivy River’s pupils contracted, and she braked imdiately.
But it was too late, and the two cars collided with a “bang.”
Ivy River slamd into the steering wheel, frowning as she covered her head and got out of the car, “How are you driving!”
The other party got out, said nothing, and directly swung an iron rod.
Before Ivy River could react, soone struck her hard, causing her to blackout instantly.
