One Night Stand With That Beggar

The assistant nodded, “The necessary arrangements have been made. However, didn’t you say that you were going to wait until the board of directors stopped paying so much attention to it before taking action? I still remember it.”

“Very good,” Steven said.

While they were talking, someone pushed open the door and came in. It was Kesha.

“Have you eaten yet? Let me treat you to lunch.”

Steven was not very interested, “I am busy now. You can go by yourself.”

Kesha was not ignorant either. Naturally, she had noticed that Steven seemed to be a little different. In fact, she had already realized it earlier when he first took over Valiant East.

However, she chose to convince herself that he was just too busy. After all, he had just become the President and there were a lot of things going on in the company.

Therefore, she wore a new dress on this day to attract his attention. However, Steven didn’t even bother to look at her.

Kesha clenched her fists tightly. In order to marry into a rich and powerful family, she had cut off all contact with her friends from the past. If she were to fail now, she would have nothing left!

Not to mention, she would be too embarrassed to appear before Eudora if that were to happen.

Thinking of this, she changed the topic, “Steven, I understand that you are very busy recently. I will disturb you no more. I’ll go to the hospital to visit your mom!”

Steven was startled and he raised his head to look at her.

“Who are you going to visit?”

“Hm? I’m talking about your mother, of course! Don’t worry, I will take good care of her. You just need to focus on your work. Oh, by the way, when I went there yesterday, the doctor also said that her body check-up report had been released, but none of her family members had come to collect it. I will get it for you later…”

The next second, Steven reached out to pull Kesha and sat her onto his thigh.

“Baby, why are you being so nice to me?”

Kesha’s face blushed into a shade of red, “Since you’ve already called me ‘baby’, how could I not treat you nicely? We are already in the same boat. I’ve told you since the beginning that I’ll stay by your side no matter what happens. I’ll help you whenever you need me and when you don’t, I’ll step back and be your capable wife.”

Steven’s lips curved into a smile.

“What if I don’t want you anymore?”

Kesha trembled. Then, she stood up immediately and responded, “I understand. I’ll leave now then…”

After that, she walked out tearfully. Deep down, she was waiting for Steven to persuade her to stay.

It turned out that she won again this time. Steven reached out and grabbed her before she had gone one meter away.

“You are not allowed to leave.”

Kesha grinned triumphantly in secret, then she lowered her head and said obediently, “Okay! I won’t leave then.”

Steven sighed, his thoughts unknown. He stood up and said, “Let’s go to the hospital together.”

He had been busy with many things ever since Kaylene was admitted into the hospital. It had been a while since he visited her.

Now that Kesha had brought the topic up, he had to go and have a look.

Kesha nodded and they went to the hospital together.

…

Kaylene was still in a coma, just like what the doctor had said. At this moment, she was lying there quietly in the ward, completely different from the person she used to be.

Steven stood at the spot and sighed, “I used to get annoyed by her nagging, but now, I couldn’t even hear her voice anymore.”

Kesha reached out and patted his shoulder, “She will be fine! I will come over to the hospital to accompany her every day. She will recover soon for sure.”

Steven nodded. At this moment, a doctor came into the ward.

“Are you the patient’s family?”

Steven nodded, “I am the patient’s son.”

“You’re here at the right time. Her test reports have been released. Please take a look!”

Steven took it over and browsed through it slowly. Suddenly, he was stunned, “What’s this?”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The doctor glanced at it, answering, “That is a fracture.”

Steven’s expression darkened instantly. “How could that be possible? My mother was fine when she was sent to the hospital. Where did the fracture come from? Didn’t your nurs take good care of her?”

The doctor was shocked. The Granger family was not one who could be offended in Rosaville City. The doctor had specifically appointed the best nurse in the hospital to take care of the patient. He wouldn’t dare to be careless!

“President Granger, please calm down. It’s not the nurse’s fault. Look at the time on the test report. The report has been taken when the patient was admitted to the hospital. However, none of you come to collect it. The patient already had a fracture when she came to the hospital!”

Kesha also glanced at the report.

“It really was the day when she was admitted to the hospital. Did something happen to Aunt Kaylene at home that day? It was too chaotic at that time, so no one really noticed it.”

A strange thought emerged in his mind abruptly upon hearing Kesha’s words. He then told the doctor immediately, “You may leave now!”

When the doctor left, he said to Kesha, “Repeat what you have said.”

Kesha was stunned, “What?”

“Tell me what you said just now…”

Steven became a little frightening all of a sudden. Kesha was also shocked by his sudden change of tone. After a pause, she repeated, “I said, did something happen to Aunt Kaylene at home that day? It was too chaotic at that time, thus no one may have noticed it…”

Steven’s face turned livid, “Didn’t they say that both my parents had committed suicide? How could there be a fracture then?”

Kesha was also stunned, “Yes! I did remember the police saying that they tried to commit suicide. How could this happen then? Could it be…” Her eyes widened, “Could it be Amos?”

Steven grasped Kesha’s neck, “What did you say?”

Kesha was almost choked to death, so she said in a hurry.

“Think about it. Amos was the one investigating your father’s incident at that time. All their evidence indicated that your parents did make suicide! Later, your father passed away. Isn’t it quite strange when you think about it now?”

Although Steven was eager to help his father to get the property, he still genuinely wished that everyone in the family could live harmoniously.

He was completely taken aback when he heard Kesha’s words. It took a long time before he finally came to his senses.

“Amos? I don’t believe it. All the assets in the family belonged to him at that time. Why would he do that?”

Kesha was almost out of breath. Moreover, she didn’t want to see Eudora having a good life. Since she could free herself and frame Eudora, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

She simply continued to speculate.

“But, didn’t your Aunt Bethany take out another will? Perhaps, he found out about that. Perhaps, that was why he had done that.”

Steven growled in a low voice and he released his grip on Kesha’s neck.

Kesha, like a fish that was deprived of water, opened her mouth wide and gasped desperately. She coughed for a long time before coming to her senses. She huddled herself up in the corner and did not dare to approach him.

Steven stared at the ground for a long time with a piercing gaze. He looked at the report again, gritted his teeth, and warned.

“No one is allowed to say a word about this until I have figured everything out!”
