Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love By Aurora Summers Chapter 42

Chapter 42 I’m So Disappointed

There were two possible meanings to this sentence, but either way, it was an insult to

Benjamin.

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Benjamin hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to withdraw his hand or not. After a moment of silence, he forced a smile and agreed, You’re right. The water in restaurants may be unclean, and we can’t see it.”

-Harold ignored him.

Ava mustered up the courage to approach Harold and spoke, “Grandpa Harold, my father mentioned that you were planning to bring your granddaughter. I have a gift prepared for her, but I’m uncertain if it will be to her liking.”

She placed a set of five-figure skincare products on the table, eagerly trying to please

Harold.

“My granddaughter had matters to attend to and couldn’t make it,” Harold replied.

Ava looked disappointed and said, “I was hoping to meet your granddaughter. I’m sure

she’s as outstanding as you are.”

“Of course, she is,” Harold said, stroking his beard. In his opinion, Chloe was the best. After all, she won Joseph’s heart and married him at lightning speed. She must possess

exceptional qualities.

The waiter knocked on the door and brought out the dishes one by one. The restaurant offered a wide variety of delicacies. There were wild-caught tuna, pan-seared foie gras, and even a steaming bowl of black truffle beef stew.

As Ava glanced at the expensive dishes, she became aware of how much her father had spent on this spread, but the old man sitting across from her did not seem enticed by it.

This made her even more anxious.

However, upon the mention of his granddaughter, he seemed to become slightly more talkative. Ava decided to employ the same strategy once again.

“Grandpa Harold, the desserts here are great. I’ll order one so that you can bring it back to your granddaughter later. After all, girls love sweet things.”

“Yes, yes, my daughter loves the desserts here.” Benjamin rubbed his hands anxiously and asked, “Did you receive the company information I sent to you, Mr. Harold? The plot of land I selected will definitely soar in value in the next few years. Now’s the

perfect time to invest in it and use it as a new area to expand our company. It’s a risk- free opportunity worth considering.”

As an investor who had taken the initiative to approach them, Harold must have faith in Artron’s potential. Generally speaking, the chances of success were high. However, Benjamin’s gut feelings were telling him that the elderly man in front of him was not

here to discuss business but to cause trouble.

Harold ignored him completely and asked, “Your daughter? Which daughter? I heard you have two. Why did you only bring one today?”

“Well…” Benjamin shook his head and sighed, his face showing a hint of

disappointment and disgust at the mention of Chloe. “The one other is unruly. Let’s don’t talk about her.”

“How is she unruly?” the butler interjected. He sounded puzzled. “Girls are generally well-behaved and obedient.”

At this point, Benjamin began to talk without reservation. He ranted and raved about all the bad things Chloe had done, “You don’t know. Not only did she try to steal Ava’s boyfriend, but also hooked up with an old man recently. Once she got in that Rolls- Royce, she never came back. It’s disheartening to have a daughter like her.”

“Enough!” Harold slammed his hand on the table in anger and pointed fiercely at Benjamin. “Even if your daughter really did intrude on someone else’s family, as her father, you have no right to speak ill of her when others criticize her. It’s your responsibility to make sure she doesn’t turn out this way!”

Most importantly, the man inside that Rolls-Royce was not an old man! It was his grandson!

He felt that Benjamin was not only stupid but also blind.

Benjamin was dumbfounded for several minutes and did not understand how their discussion had taken this turn.

Ava was equally scared out of her wits. “Grandpa Harold, please don’t be angry. My dad didn’t mean it. He just thinks-”

“Stop calling me that! I’m not your grandpa!” Harold had always been hot-tempered, and now he was too upset to pretend otherwise. He glared at Benjamin and said, “I don’t think there’s any need to cooperate with a father as irresponsible as you.”

The butler understood the situation and quickly went to open the door of the private

room.

Benjamin and Ava watched in shock as Harold left, their minds completely blank. “Dad… Did I say something wrong?” Ava asked, looking at Benjamin.
