Sweet Twins

Chapter 420 Kind Of Like It

The secretary was flustered. "Sir..."

"I didn't come here to drink tea. Humph!"

"Clean it up." Charles was still calm. Regardless of the trouble that Frederic made, he kept his calm. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Yes, Mr. Fu." The secretary collected the broken pieces and cleaned the room with a mop.

Seeing Charles stoic face, Frederic was no longer in the mood to argue.

"Charles, give me an explanation." His voice was laced with irritation this time.

"Secretary, two cups of tea," Charles ordered softly.

"Yes, sir." The secretary soon brought two cups of tea and put them in front of Charles.

"Mom, I remember you like it too. Here you are." Charles pushed a cup of tea in front of Angelina.

He picked up a teacup, blew on the tea gently, and took a sip. "This kind of tea is the best. Its smell and taste are both great."

Frederic swallowed hard as if swallowing down his irritation.

Honestly, after shouting for so long, his throat was dry enough to be marked as a desert.

"Yes, I also like drinking tea." After saying that, Angelina took the cup and was just about to drink tea.

"Put that down. I haven't even taken a sip yet!" Frederic yelled and grabbed the teacup from Angelina's hand.

Angelina and Charles smiled at each other.

Old people would sometimes act like children.

"Father, please." Angelina asked the secretary to bring her another cup of tea.

Since Frederic was willing to drink tea, they knew that they had gotten past his first layer of mental resistance. A reasonable parley was somewhat possible now.

"Grandpa, are you only here for tea?" Charles asked as he opened a document.

"Put your work aside first. I want to ask you if your uncle's car accident had anything to do with you."

"Yes."

"You bastard! You have only been doing business for a few years, and you have already learned all the crafty and wicked things of this circle. You fail to live up to my expectations!" Frederic's hand holding the cup began trembling.

In the past, he insisted on giving the TS Group to Charles not because of his brains, but because of his kindness. What went wrong with Charles? Why did he turn evil just after a few years?

Frederic couldn't hide his disappointment.

"What are you talking about, Charles?" Angelina asked. She knew Charles wasn't stupid. So why was he trying to irritate Frederic?

Wasn't he worried about the consequences?

"What I meant was since my uncle, Derrick, got in an accident, I couldn't just wait and watch. I had to take some action! The police arrested Hiram and asked him to tell the truth. I also want to know the truth. But as far as I know, Hiram isn't someone capable of executing such elaborate schemes. Besides, he knows that Derrick is my uncle. Why would he do something so illegal without my

permission? Anyway, he should know the consequences, right? He is not stupid. Why would he do such a thing? What do you think, Grandpa?" Charles explained.

In fact, Frederic knew everything, but Derrick's sudden car accident made him restless.

Notwithstanding how bad Derrick was, he was still his son. He feared that his son might die before him.

"Even if your uncle's car accident had nothing to do with you, what about Nancy? I don't think she is a simple person. She is a girl, and yet she was involved with you and Edward at the same time. I know her kind. Humph, she can cheat you, but not me!" Frederic shifted the topic to Nancy.

Did he like Nancy?

Actually... he liked her a little.

However, Derrick's words were convincing and held some sway.

Nancy and Edward had registered their marriage. Even if Edward stepped forward to clarify, it would only convince the general public.

Frederic was still mad at her!

"Nancy has given birth to two children for me. She is a dedicated and responsible doctor. How could she have time to set up this?" As he recalled how Frederic had struck Nancy before, Charles' anger mounted.

"Oh, you have two children? It's still uncertain whether Nadia is your daughter or not. Think about it like this. Even if she is yours, all that happened years ago. Nancy was still a student at that time. How could she be shameless enough to give birth to other people's children? Does she have no self-respect? And you still consider her a pure and untainted maiden. In my opinion, she just an unscrupulous bitch!" Frederic shouted.

"Grandpa, Nancy isn't a materialistic woman. You just don't understand her!" Charles became anxious and raised his voice.

"Understand her? Now that you are protecting her so fiercely, who would she even fear? She even framed Joseph. Am I the next target? Will she frame me next?"

"Joseph hit her. She is the victim! Can you reason with me?"

"Why didn't Joseph beat the others?"

Charles was dumbfounded. His grandfather was a righteous and reasonable man, but his grandfather today... Was a totally different man.

His grandfather was very, very unreasonable today!

"Grandpa, it doesn't matter what you say now. I'm going to be with Nancy for the rest of my life. She's the mother of my children, and the woman I love!" Charles said with determination.

"Is TS Group not as important as Nancy?" Frederic was pressing hard. He knew that Charles had sacrificed half of his life for the TS Group.

Angelina was so nervous that her palms began sweating. "Father, don't be angry."

As if materializing his anger, Frederic snorted and turned his face away, just as stubborn as his grandson!

"Charles, your grandpa is getting old. Can't you say something to make him happy?" Angela knew that Frederic's health was getting worse with each passing second, and he didn't have long to live. So Charles just needed to coax him with something like annulling his relationship with Nancy.

And after Frederic passes away, both the TS Group and Nancy would be his.

Wasn't it the best of both worlds?

But why was Charles being so stubborn? What good would it do to anger Frederic?

There was a reason why Charles was being so stubborn. That was, Nancy had suffered too many grievances over the years, and he just wanted her to be happy from now on.

As a man, if he couldn't even protect the woman he loved, what was the point of him getting the TS Group?

Charles slowly closed the file. He looked up at Frederic coldly and said, "Grandpa, even at the cost of the entire TS Group, I want Nancy. Tomorrow, I will go to register our marriage."

"How dare you!" Frederic stood up and said, "If you dare to marry Nancy, I will send her to prison. She and Edward are still a couple, aren't they? She has committed bigamy. Humph!"
