Chapter 419:

Just then, Rhys’ phone rang once more. Rhys’ brow furrowed slightly as he answered, “Grandpa.” From the other end came Nathaniel’s booming voice.

“You rascal, you called off your engagement to Miss Sanderson and then dared to propose to her not long after! You’re in your thirties, yet you still act this recklessly!”

Rhys replied with a calm raise of his eyebrow, “The girl you met in the hospital previously is the recently recognized heiress of the Sanderson family.”

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel’s demeanor instantly brightened, and his voice became filled with excitement.

“Excellent! Proposing again was the smart choice!” His tone then shifted.

“You’ve kept this hidden. I thought your interest in her was quick, without any real intent. So, are you two dating? After all this time, you must have made some progress, right? Rhys, I’m not getting any younger. You need to hurry and marry Harlee so that I can be there at your wedding…”

Nathaniel’s face lit up with joy. When he learned that Rhys had ended the engagement with the Sanderson family’s daughter, he thought Rhys had finally entered a relationship with the girl he had met in the hospital.

But then Nathaniel learned from his nurse that Rhys had proposed to the Sanderson family’s daughter not long after breaking off the engagement. With a sigh, Nathaniel figured his distant and proud grandson would live a lonely life, but it turned out that the recently returned daughter of the Sanderson family was none other than Harlee, the girl Rhys had shown interest in! They seemed a perfect match.

Rhys gave a wry smile and said, “Grandpa, maybe clean the grease from your mouth before painting your condition negatively.”

Nathaniel coughed awkwardly, scolding, “You rascal, is that how you speak to your grandfather?” He snorted.

“It was just two extra pieces of chicken.

Did the nurse really need to report every little thing to my grandson? Well, I’ll think about reducing her bonus later.”

“Okay, let’s get down to business. What’s your plan to make up for the huge losses due to the Sanderson family’s retaliation?” Nathaniel asked.

Rhys’ smile disappeared, his voice steady and cold as usual.

“Give me three months.”

“Alright, three months.”

“I expect to see the completed documents in three months!” Nathaniel’s gaze was sharp, reflecting his past as a powerful business tycoon.

After discussing business, they shifted to talking about Jose and Belinda. The truth couldn’t be hidden forever, and Nathaniel had learned about their foolish actions.

“Those two fools!” Nathaniel’s voice was filled with energy.

Rhys rubbed his temples wearily.

“They have assured me it won’t happen again, so…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t lower myself to handle them due to their foolishness.” Without realizing it, their conversation stretched beyond Nathaniel’s usual bedtime.

He was over eighty, and no matter his enduring strength, staying up late wasn’t advisable.

Rhys noticed the fatigue in Nathaniel’s voice and said, “Grandpa, I’ll handle their issues. You should get some rest.”
