Chapter 454 Lucky to Love the Right One

For Linda, having saved Emily from committing suicide was not a big deal. It was something that she

had needed to do. But for Emily, it had changed her entire life. Emily would be grateful for what Linda

had done forever.

It was a hot summer day, they played a few more rounds of mahjong before lunchtime came.

Charles might be very busy the whole day. He couldn't even come back home for dinner.

Linda didn't want to interrupt him, so she just sent a message to Charles, but Charles hadn't texted her

back, yet. Linda didn't think anything of it. She just thought that he might be extremely occupied

because of work.

After dinner, Linda finally received Charles's reply.

It wrote, "Honey, have you had dinner already? The company has been keeping me busy today, so I

can't be back for dinner, but I'll be home before nine o'clock tonight."

Charles was working a lot lately, so Linda was worried about his health. She responded back with a

message, "Is there a lot of work to do in the company? Please take care of your health!"

"Yes. I'll talk to you after I come back home. Something happened in the company, " Charles wrote.

Linda immediately became worried as soon as she read Charles's message. She guessed that it had to

be something serious. Otherwise, Charles wouldn't have been so busy these days.

Linda immediately stopped texting back so as not to interrupt him anymore.

At night, Linda had been reading a comic book in the living room when Charles returned home. Charles

frowned as he saw Linda reading late at night. He immediately stopped her and said, "Linda, it's late.

Stop reading the book. It's not good for your eyes."

Linda put down the book and said with a smile, "It's better to read books than to watch TV. Also, I

started reading this comic book during the day, so I wanted to finish it in the evening. Anyway, I was

trying to amuse myself while I waited for you."

Charles was with Paul when he went inside the house. Charles took off his suit and handed it to Paul.

Then, Paul put it neatly aside.

Linda had been together with Charles for so long. She could easily notice any subtle changes

happening to him. When she noticed the weary look on his face and the black rims under his eyes,

Linda felt so worried.

"Honey, what have you been busy with these days? Why do you look so tired?" Linda got two glasses

of water and brought them to Paul and Charles before she sat next to them.

"Honey, I haven't told you the story about my uncle, my father's younger brother, have I?" said Charles.

"Your uncle?"

Linda searched the memory in her mind. Charles didn't tell her anything about his uncle, but she

seemed to have heard a little about him. Linda then remembered that Bun had once told her some

rumours about Charles's uncle.

"Well, yes. My uncle is coming back, and we have to fight against him when he arrives. The fight would

only have one outcome. Either the domestic Mu's Group would purchase the branch abroad, or the

Mu's Group abroad would swallow up our company here, " said Charles with a serious face.

"Is your uncle called George Mu?" asked Linda.

Charles was a little bit surprised, so he asked, "How did you know his name?"

Linda said with a smile, "I've heard about him a long time ago. Bun had mentioned some rumours

about your uncle in our chats."

Charles casually glanced at Linda and said, "Bun must have told you that both of my father and my

uncle fell in love with my mother when they were young. They both had pursued my mother. Am I

right?"

Linda chuckled and admitted, "Yes, that's the gossip she told me then. To be frank, Bun had told the

story in quite an interesting way that my curiosity was aroused."

"Well, truth be told, the whole story was a really big farce at the time. It was a confusing and

complicated story. Indeed, it was my uncle who had fallen in love with my mother first. But, of course, I

can't judge whether he loved my mother or the power of my mother's family. However, I'm sure that my

mother didn't love my uncle at all. My mother fell in love with my father at first sight, "

Charles said and smiled peacefully. His mother, Violet Xing, had told him that.

"If that was the case, your uncle could have done nothing about it. Sequence doesn't mean anything in

the matter of love. Even though your uncle loved your mother first, she had no obligations to marry him,

" said Linda.

"I agree. But my uncle hasn't accepted it even until now. He is still so angry with my father. In his eyes, NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

he insists that my father had stolen his woman."

"But I don't think your uncle really loved your mother that much. People always want what they can't

get. He just couldn't admit his defeat!"

Linda said as she shook her head.

She thought that it was the weakness of the human nature to always admire things they couldn't have,

ignorant of whether they really wanted it or not.

"Young Master and My Lady, please be careful. I feel that Mr. George deliberately chose this crucial

period when you are going to have your babies. He may want to take this opportunity to catch you off

guard and to take over the executive rights to the Mu's Group in China, " Paul reminded them.

Charles let out a cold hum and said, "He wants to take the executive rights from me? What a joke!

Since he is so ambitious, I won't need to have any mercy on my uncle anymore. I won't give him the

branch abroad, either. I will take over it as well."

Charles's grandfather actually had intended to hand over the whole Mu's Group, all the companies in

China and abroad, to Charles's father, James Mu.

Because his grandfather thought that James was more composed and decisive in work, he wanted

James to manage the whole group. Considering the sustainable development of the Mu's Group,

Charles's grandfather chose James to be the son who would take over the company. As for George,

Charles's grandfather thought he was quite cruel in making business decisions. Sometimes, George

even used some unscrupulous divisive tactics to achieve his goals, and Charles's grandfather didn't

want George to continue his wrong deeds.

He didn't want his son to commit crimes for the sake of the Mu's Group's development.

After thorough deliberation, Charles's grandfather was determined to hand over the whole Mu's Group

to James.

George got furious when he found out about his father's decision. He couldn't accept it. He was also a

son of the Mu clan, so why would his brother get the whole Mu's Group while he would get nothing of

it? That was also one of the reasons why George hated James so much. He stirred up so much trouble

after that.

Actually, it was also a traditional rule of the Mu clan that only the oldest son could inherit the whole

Mu's Group. But James sympathised with George and asked his father to give the branch company

abroad to George to let him have a try in managing it. James would only take over the company in

China.

However, unexpectedly, after George had attained the right of the branch company abroad, he didn't

come back anymore. He had been staying there for more than twenty years.

"But he is your uncle after all. You should have a close relationship with each other. How could your

relationship turned out this sour? Even if he couldn't get your mother, he shouldn't have blamed

everything on your father. Your mother wasn't his girlfriend before she got together with your father, "

Linda asked confusedly.

They were family members. Linda couldn't understand why their relationship became so bad.

Charles looked at Linda with a complicated look in his eyes. He touched Linda's head and said, "Things

are not always simple in a big family like ours. Money and power can change a person. My uncle is a

person who loves power very much. Even without the issue with my mother, he would still fight against

my father and I for the assets of the Mu clan. It's inevitable, unless both my father and I are dead."

Linda's face stiffened with gloom after she heard Charles's words. Things were so complicated in such

wealthy families.

Love between family members might be the least important thing in families like theirs. Linda suddenly

felt so lucky that she was truly in love with Charles. She loved Charles's true self, not the power and

background of his family or the marriage contract between them.
