Chapter 243 Never Drop Halfway
âHmph, you think I donât care about you or your mother?â
Alondra hurriedly apologized, âWe never think that way.â
âItâs fine if you do,â Edward said. âI know your mom. She went there only to humiliate herself. She has li
ved for so long and is still so dumb. She needs a lesson.â
Alondraâs expression froze on her face. She looked at Edward, not knowing why he said
this.
âBut you are a good child. I will not let Hendry send you abroad.â
He only had three children.
His eldest son died young, which was devastating for him. And Aryan had alienated himself from Edwar
d, and they rarely saw each other. His daughter, the only one that stayed, was quite sweet, and she ha
d been by his side all these years.
So, Edward naturally didnât want Hendry to send her away.
But he had no other choice. His company had encountered many problems recently, and he felt more a
nd more helpless. He had to ask Hendry for help.
Hendry helped him, but Alondra and Cindy must be sent abroad in return.
At that time, Edward had no choice but to accept his request. When the companyâs crisis
Edward kind of wanted to go back on his word.
was over,
Of course, he did not dare to do so, but he could give Alondra some help without breaking his word.
âI have an assistant called Darcy Pitt. I will give you his contact information later. He
will help you with a lot of things.â
Edward was happy today, so he drank a lot of wine. After he said this, he stood up to
return to his room.
Cindy hurriedly helped him back to his room to rest.
Alondra was left alone. She quietly sat at the table for a long time.
It was not until midnight that she received a friend request from Darcy.
Alondra had been staring at her phone
the entire time. She had almost burned a hole in her phone with her gaze. When her phone finally recei
ved a message, she could not help
but heave a sigh of relief.
In the past, she thought that Edward was invincible.
But after what happened today, she learned that no one was invincible. Edward was old. Although he lo
oked strong on the outside, he had a soft heart.
His children were his weakness and had become his only weakness.
Once she saw Edwardâs weakness, the
high and mighty father of hers suddenly became no longer scary.
Once she knew a manâs weakness, she could use him, no matter who he was.
Alondraâs eyes became unfathomable. She picked up her phone and began to talk to
Darcy.
Late at night.
Kaylah quietly put the package back into the kitchen. Then, she tiptoed back to her
room. However, she saw a person at the door and was startled.
âZion! Why arenât you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you waiting at my door?â
Zion did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, âWhere did you go?â
âL⦠I didnât go anywhere. I only went to the company.â
Kaylah felt guilty and dared not look up at Zion.
Zion let out a snort of laughter.
âStill lying? I just asked Aryan. You didnât go to the company!â
âI didnât go to the ZiKay Group. I went to Andy.â
âSo you went to Andyâs familyâs company?â
Kaylah nodded.
Zionâs expression suddenly changed as he shouted, âYouâre still lying!â
Kaylah shuddered and was frightened.
Seeing her like this, Zion was a little worried and unconsciously softened his voice.
âIâve asked Roger. He said that you were taking food to a friend until his wound completely healed.
âIs this friend Hendry?â
