Chapter 35 A Feast at Swan Goose Gate

“Since you have already said so much, I won’t beat around the bush with you. You should know what kind of role Ryan is playing in Monor family right now.”

Amanda’s unhurried manner was like a completely different person from before. Elena frowned slightly, “Mom, what do you mean by this? I have never participated in business matters. So I don’t really understand. If you have something to say, just tell me.”

Elena did not like such roundabout words. Moreover, this matter was related to Ryan, so she didn’t dare to make a decision directly.

“Elena, I believe that you are a smart woman. You must know what I meant to say. Our Monor family is facing a difficult situation right now, so we must find someone to bear the responsibility. I believe that you can understand what I am saying.”

“I’m sorry, I said that I don’t know anything about business. I really can’t do anything about this.” Elena still pretended not to understand.

Amanda was very angry and immediately stood up and pointed at Elena in front of her. “You … You don’t know how to appreciate favors.”

“What is mother talking about? I do not understand business matters at all. So it’s useless for you to tell me this. Besides, I don’t work in Monor family, so I don’t know anything about the company.”

Elena also stood up and slightly lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

It seemed that today’s meal was probably a feast at Swan Goose gate!

The people of Monor family had all sided with Roman. Now that Monor family was in trouble, it was obvious that they wanted to push Ryan out as a scapegoat.

“What is wrong? Are you guys arguing?” Charles, who came down from the stairs, heard their voices and couldn’t help but ask.

Amanda saw her husband came down and supported him to sit down. “There are still some people who do not know how to appreciate favors.”

“Elena, don’t lower yourself to your mother’s level.” Charles’s tone was flat, completely different from the elites who had fought on the business world for a long time.

“I’m sorry, Dad. It’s my first time here and I have made Mom angry.”

Elena couldn’t help but apologize. She knew that it was disadvantage to Ryan now. Although she was angry, she couldn’t break the rules.

Charles came in front of Elena. “Did you eat this apple? Don’t you think this apple is very sweet?”

“The apple from overseas is indeed very sweet.” Elena answered truthfully.

Charles picked up the apple on the table and placed it in front of Elena. However, just as Elena wanted to catch it, the apple was thrown to the ground by Charles.

“Sorry, this apple is too big. It is not easy to hold it.”

Elena looked at the apple on the ground that was covered in dust and could not help frowning. What was this man trying to do?

“Elena, I know you are a smart person. Although this apple tastes sweeter and more delicious than the ones in the country, since it fell on the ground, it can only be a useless apple.”

After saying that, Charles turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Elena was still looking at the apple on the ground.

Charles was hinting that this apple was Ryan. No matter how bright and beautiful he was before, he was still a trash now and could not go to the elegant hall.

She never thought that Ryan’s parents would be such a person. Was Ryan not their child?

Elena picked up the apple and walked straight to the kitchen. She turned on the faucet and put the apple under the faucet to wash it. After a while, the entire apple looked brand new.

Elena then put the apple in front of Charles.

“Dad, this apple is very precious. If you don’t eat it when it falls on the ground, it will be a waste. If you wash it, the abandoned apple can also be eaten.”

A trace of shock appeared on Charles’s face. He never thought that this little girl would be so eloquent.

“If it’s a strained with dirty stuff, it can be washed clean. What if this apple is broken?” Charles asked again.

“If it is broken, then it will be even easier. We can just cut off the tumor of the apple and leave only the good ones.”

Elena put the washed mouth in front of her mouth and bit it. Charles stood where he was and his eyes had some intriguing look.

After a while, Charles laughed loudly, “I didn’t expect you to be so smart. Today I prepared some dishes that you like to eat. Quickly come and eat.”

After sitting down, Charles looked at the maid who had just brought the dishes over, “Go and ask the young master to come down and eat.”
