Rembering what Mr. Thompson had said to him earlier, Henry Thompson’s brow furrowed even deeper.
"Grandpa, are you really planning to bring Charlotte and the kids back to Ashton this ti?"
"Charlotte has only been back to Druarus for a short while, and so much has already happened. I won’t ntion the past, but this ti it’s completely different."
Mr. Thompson imdiately responded to Henry Thompson, and by the end, he couldn’t help but let out a cold snort,
"And what exactly are the Ross family thinking, that they even failed to handle such a situation?"
Seeing Mr. Thompson’s current state, Henry Thompson couldn’t help but shift his gaze toward a few others nearby, signaling with his eyes for soone to help persuade Mr. Thompson to calm down.
This ti accompanying Mr. Thompson to Druarus, aside from Henry Thompson, there were also Jas Thompson and Jonathan Thompson from the Thompson family.
Noticing Henry Thompson’s gaze, Jas Thompson closed the book in his hand and set it aside.
"Perhaps it was unexpected for the Ross Family. They weren’t there and didn’t realize such a thing could happen."
Jas’s tone was cool. Despite being one of the youngest among the Thompson family mbers, his personality was very stable and calm, sotis even more rational than Henry Thompson.
Hearing Jas say this, Henry Thompson’s frown slightly relaxed.
However, before Henry Thompson could relax for long, he heard Jas speak again: "But, I want to know what the situation is like on Justin Battleson’s side."
Hearing the na Justin Battleson, Mr. Thompson’s face, which had just eased a bit, tensed up again.
"Justin Battleson, hmph! That lad is no good at anything. I really don’t know what Charlotte sees in him!"
Because of the past events between Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson, not to ntion Mr. Thompson, but everyone in the Thompson family disliked Justin Battleson.
And then, Charlotte’s three children turned out to be Justin Battleson’s, and later, Charlotte and Justin Battleson had even reunited with each other.
Previously, when the Thompson family mbers heard about Charlotte and Justin Battleson getting back together, they were infuriated.
Yet if others heard Mr. Thompson’s words, they would probably be shocked.
It’s striking that Justin Battleson, who dominates the business world of Druarus and stands at the peak, could be disparaged as worthless by Mr. Thompson.
Upon hearing Jas’s words, Henry Thompson secretly glared at him.
He wanted them to comfort Mr. Thompson’s emotions, so how could they end up stirring the pot instead?
However, Jas remained indifferent, completely ignoring Henry Thompson’s reproachful look.
Of course, being rational is one thing, but Jas in essence was truly provoking.
And at this very mont, Jonathan Thompson chid in from the side:
"When I see Justin Battleson, I’ll give him a good thrashing for failing to protect Charlotte."
Right then, Justin Battleson, who was in a morning eting, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition spreading.
Having received a call from Mr. Thompson saying that the plane would arrive in Druarus in about half an hour, Charlotte practically rushed to the airport at the fastest speed possible.
All the way there, Charlotte was sowhat uneasy, but upon truly seeing Mr. Thompson, what filled her heart was more longing.
After all, the Thompson family resides in Ashton. Even if they regularly communicated through calls or video chats, it couldn’t replace a real eting.
"Grandpa."
Charlotte pursed her lips and then walked toward Mr. Thompson, throwing herself directly into his arms.
