Chapter 361: Don’t Push Me
The screen shows three missed calls and an unread text message.
I don’t know who made the call, and I didn’t read the text but it showed a number and something.
“Alva, pick up the phone, don’t make me…….”
I can’t see the rest of it.
You have to unlock it to see it.
But Alva didn’t want to see the rest of it.
After she unlocked it, she deleted the text message and blacklisted the number.
She said, listen to Jackson.
She does what she says she will.
All right, Alva, put the phone away and get to work.
She was busy and didn’t have that much energy to think about anything else.
Candice called Alva twice and when Alva didn’t pick up she sent Alva a text.
She’s gonna put her on the phone.
Threats, intimidation.
She just wants her to answer the phone.
But instead of Alva’s call, she waited for Jackson’s.
“Candice, stop calling Alva. She won’t take your calls.”
Candice’s face changed.
“She’s smart enough to know who to turn to.”
“She’s not smart, she should be. I’m her husband. I’m her support.”
Candice had a smile on her face, but it was all sarcasm.
“Jackson, how much do you like Alva?”
Do not care about what you like?
“Not like, love.”
“Just like Candice loved her uncle.”
Candice’s face sank.
“Candice,” Jackson continued, “you’re an elder I respect. I’m asking you, don’t push me.”
This time his tone was stronger than usual.
How can Candice not hear that.
She was completely cold.
The corners of his mouth also drew a cold smile.
“Jackson, I won’t make you, but you’ll regret it.”
“You’re definitely going to regret what you said to me today.”
“I don’t regret it.”
Candice hollered and hung up.
She had thought she was going to get Alva to promise to marry Jackson on Uriah day anyway.
But after hearing Jackson’s words, she decided not to do it.
She’s gonna make Jackson regret it.
Show him how stupid he is!
Jackson hung up the phone and dialed another number.
“How’s the house search going?”
“Just found a set, would you like to come and have a look?”
“Good.” said Hermione.
Washington.
Heyday Group building, conference room.
Serious atmosphere, mobile phone whine vibration sound.
Everyone in the conference room looked towards the sound.
Sit in front of the person in the first place.
Then, after a second, look away.
Uriah picked up the phone and saw the names bouncing across the screen. His eyes twitched and he turned the phone off vibrate to silent.
Then, looking down at all the heads bowed, “Go on.”
An hour later, the meeting was over, and Uriah returned to the executive room.
He picked up his phone, clicked on the missed call, and dialed it.
After three beeps, the phone went through.
Uriah looked up at the vista out the French window. “Grandpa.”
“Since we’re back in Washington, let’s come back for dinner tonight.”
“HMM.”
Night covers the light of day, and the city lights up.
Uriah came out of the Heyday Group, got in the car, and “went to the Irwin Family.”
“Ok, Boss Irwin.”
Half an hour later, the car drove through the carved iron gate and stopped outside the intricately carved gate.
The driver opened the door and Uriah got out and walked in.
The servant saw him and bent down, “Sir.”
“HMM.”
Uriah went into the living room.
The speaker in the drawing-room suddenly looked over.
Flora, Candice, Bella.
Zack.
With one look, Zack looked away and picked up his cup of coffee.
Flora quickly pulls back and picks up her phone to check the time.
Candice looked at Uriah for a few seconds before she looked away.
Bella looked straight at Uriah without blinking.
Uriah, if Pops hadn’t called you today, you wouldn’t be here.
Without looking at Bella, Uriah walked over and stopped in front of Zack. “Grandpa.”
Zack put down his glass and looked at him. “HMM.”
The old man could see neither good nor bad, but his face was serious.
Uriah sat down.
Just not in the same position as before.
In the old days, Uriah would have sat next to Bella.
But tonight, Uriah sits next to Flora.
Candice and Bella sat opposite.
Zack sat at the top.
As soon as I sat in this position, I could see that it was wrong.
Bella’s face changed.
Candice gave a sneer.
Flora was stunned.
Isn’t Uriah supposed to sit with Bella?
Why are you sitting with her?
Flora looks at Bella, who is still looking pale and sees that the two are
Wrong.
There seems to be a conflict.
What’s going on here?
Aren’t you getting married soon?
Flora, confused but silent, looks to Candice, then to Zack, and picks up her coffee.
The atmosphere is not good.
The servant came with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Uriah.
Stood up and finally spoke.
“How are the wedding preparations going?”
