Chapter 279: Don’t Pretend
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
John remained silent and maintained his composure. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be shrouded in black ink, making it impossible to see his emotions clearly.
Mrs. Grant continued to say, “He won’t be able to see you even if you’re crying. The lawyer will be here soon. Stop pretending.”
John finally reacted as he slowly lowered his eyes and hid the cold smile in his eyes.
The others mistakenly took it as his guilty conscience taking over so Mrs. Grant grew more irritated and hateful. “You’re just like your shameless mother. You were born to be abandoned. When Chris makes his will, you’ll be kicked out of Grant Group!”
Although Mrs. Grant and Chris were connected by marriage, only she fell in love with the elegant Chris after spending time together.
Mrs. Grant thought that they would have a harmonious family and live happily ever after, but later on, she realized that everything was just her wishful thinking.
Her husband gave her a family, but he loved another woman and even had a child with that woman.
Nina’s appearance ruined her family and her dream of being a good wife.
All these years of resentment had long since wiped away the love she once had, making way for the hatred toward Chris, Nina, and John.
Every time she saw John, she would think of the humiliation she had suffered back then.
Yes, it was humiliation.
She was a socialite’s daughter while Nina was just a low-class woman. What right did Nina have to compare with her?
In her subconscious mind, Nina stole her husband. Even though Chris and Nina knew each other before she came into the picture, she was his legal wife, and Nina was simply his first love.
The two most important women in John’s life were Nina and Serenity. When Mrs. Grant scolded him, John was tolerant. But now it was a different story since she was insulting his mother!
John looked up at her with his cold and terrifying pitch-black eyes as if they wanted to freeze her.
As a socialite, Mrs. Grant’s words were quite unbearable. Selena frowned and said, “Mrs. Grant, no one knows what the will is yet. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Mrs. Grant looked at her and did not say anything else as she continued to stare at the door of the emergency room again.
John and Shia were sitting on the same bench. The latter asked, “Among the three of us, who do you think will benefit the most from the shares?”
John’s handsome face was clearly defined under the lights in the corridor. It seemed to carry a faint hostility, but it also looked very calm. “He won’t be stupid.”
Shia was choked by his words and glared at John with an ugly expression. Even though John lowered his head, he could feel Shia’s anger. His thin lips curled into a provocative arc.
Shia was not capable enough. He had always wanted to make a name for himself in Grant Group with his passion, but he always needed Chris to clean up after him. Meanwhile, what else could Simon do other than drink and gamble?
That was why John was so sure that Chris would not foolishly hand over such a big company to his two disappointing sons.
It was late at night, and the hospital was quiet and cold.
John’s face was calm, but his heart was surging with excitement. His biological father was lying in the emergency room, but he was not worried about whether Chris could survive this.
Instead, he was thinking that after tonight, he would be able to look for ‘her’ and tell ‘her’ everything. Then, he would hold ‘her’ hand openly, hug ‘her’, and kiss ‘her’. He would make up for the three years that he had lost..
