"You don’t need to consult with me any further, if you want to go and expand into Druarus, go ahead. Anyway, most of the work arrangements on our side are almost done, and it would be great if you can tap into the overseas market."
Mr. Thompson took a breath, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and slowly took a sip. There was a hint of contemplation in his voice.
"Charlotte, she..." Upon hearing Mr. Thompson’s question, a subtle smile faded from Henry Thompson’s face, and his eyes were filled with thought.
"What happened?" Mr. Thompson, clever as he was, immediately caught the change in Henry’s demeanor and sensed that something was amiss.
"Charlotte got into some trouble, she was almost attacked with a knife. If it weren’t for Henry, the consequences could have been unthinkable."
After considering for quite some time, Henry Thompson decided to tell Mr. Thompson about the incident in full.
Because even if he didn’t say anything, Mr. Thompson would probably have someone investigate later anyway.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Thompson’s tea cup slammed heavily onto the table, his cloudy eyes instantly lighting up with a trace of rage.
"How could such a thing happen? Where were Charlotte’s bodyguards? What on earth were they doing?"
"Grandfather, please calm down. Charlotte is safe. And I have added a few more bodyguards for her. Don’t worry, the man who tried to harm her is already in jail."
Hurriedly, Henry spoke out, fearing that Mr. Thompson would immediately get on a plane from Ashton.
His health hadn’t been robust recently, and the stress was a lot to handle.
"No, I have to go see Charlotte. Something this big happened and you only tell me now. You rascal, Charlotte is your sister. If something were to happen to her, you’d have hell to pay."
After saying this, Mr. Thompson abruptly ended the call, giving Henry no time to react.
On the other end of the phone, Henry stared at the black screen, utterly taken aback.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson was already instructing the butler to pack his suitcase.
He also instructed his assistant to postpone the important meetings he was expected to attend.
"Grandfather, what’s all the rush this early in the morning?"
Joshua Thompson just returned from his morning workout and found it odd to see Jason Thompson rushing about.
Jason Thompson had a stern expression on his face, instructing the butler to pack more stuff into his suitcase. He then looked over at Joshua and spoke slowly,
"That damn Henry, Charlotte almost got hurt in Druarus and he didn’t inform me right away."
"What? Charlotte got hurt?" Joshua Thompson was taken aback, raising his voice in surprise.
"What happened? What’s wrong with Charlotte?" Jake Thompson rushed out of his room, with James Thompson following behind. Looking at their disheveled appearances, they must have rushed out without getting ready upon hearing the commotion.
"I just returned from the company, Grandfather, why did you cancel the executive meeting? What happened?"
Felix Thompson returned from the company, and found it perplexing to see such commotion upon returning home.
"Yeah, Grandfather, why are you packing so early in the morning? Did something happen to big brother?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Jonathan Thompson followed Felix, the two of them were handling company matters, as Henry was expanding the market in Druarus. By right, they should be busy.
But their grandfather suddenly postponed the meetings, and even pushed back several tasks.
Jason Thompson gave everyone a deep look, deciding not to hide anything now that everyone was back.
