Chapter 54 There’s No Way to Save the Situation
During these three days, Hellen would go to the company every morning at the United Department in the afternoon.
The renovation of the old town was much more complicated than she had expected. Some of the elders were unwilling to move away, and some of them even proposed compensation.
There were several ancestral temples in the old town. The superstitious people believed that it was the geomancy of the family. They would never allow the ancestral temple to be destroyed.
In the past three days, Hellen and Hans had listened to the executives discussing these things every day and they would give them suggestions from time to time.
They stayed together every afternoon. When they were working, Hellen found that she and Hans got along quite well. As a husband, Hans must be a jerk, but as a partner, his meticulous thinking and fast reaction made her appreciate him.
It was Friday. Hellen had woken up early. When she went downstairs to have breakfast, her stomach was churning with a wave of nausea.
She suppressed her urge to vomit. Lady Jovano looked at her worriedly and said, “Hellen, your reaction is much stronger than average. You should be careful not to be discovered when staying in the United Department with Hans this afternoon. .”
“I know, Mom. Don’t worry. I don’t feel as sick in the afternoon as I do in the morning.
Hellen said weakly, “Mom, how is brother recently?”
“He needs to rest for a few days, and his injuries are so severe.” Lady Jovano smiled. “But your brother has profited from this disaster, he has gotten to know a good girl.”
“Mom, you liked Darcy, right?” Hellen laughed.
“It’s useless even if I like her. I think there must be a spark between your brother and Darcy, but they haven’t made it clear for so long. What’s going on? Help me find out!” Lady Jovano reminded her.
Hellen nodded. “When I’m free, I’ll go visit him tonight.”
After breakfast, she set off for The Jovano Group.
When they reached the top floor, as soon as the elevator doors opened, a beautiful figure pounced in, wrapping her arms around Hellen’s neck.
“Hellen, have you missed me?”
Hellen stared in surprise. “Karlen, when did you come?”
Karlen held Hellen’s arm and walked to the office. “I’ve been here for three days. I have been playing with my best friend for a few days before I come to visit you.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Hellen frowned. “Can it be that you encountered some trouble in Hail City?”
She knew her cousin very well, the little overlord of Hail City!
Although she was a girl, she was naughty and had been beaten by her uncle many times!
“No, it’s just that I applied for Tempe University. I came to school after I received the admission certificate. Hellen, you have to take good care of me over the next four years.”
Hellen felt a slight headache. “Mike, prepare a house for Karlen. It’s closer to Tempe University.”
With Karlen by her side, Hellen’s morning wasn’t peaceful at all!
Like a hamster, Karlen picked up a pile of snacks and chewed them on the sofa in Hellen’s office.
Hellen finally couldn’t take it any longer. Putting down the pen in her hand, she said, “Karlen, can you go eat in the lounge and come back after eating?”
If it had been in the past, she would have been able to endure it. But now, when she smelled all sorts of food mixed together, Hellen felt a bit nauseous.
Karlen was about to act coquettishly when she saw her cousin giving her a sharp look. She obediently ran into the lounge with snacks in her arms.
Hellen had just finished reviewing a document when the phone by her side rang.
It was Eddie calling.
“Missy, did you miss me?”
Hellen held her phone, from which came Eddie’s tease, in one hand and flipped through the documents in the other.
“Eddie, if you have anything to say, say it. If not, I’ll hang up.”
“No, no, no, I have something important to discuss with you.”
Eddie quickened his voice. “When are you available? I’ll go to your company. We need to talk face to face about such an important matter!”
Hellen silently rolled his eyes. “Then come at 12 o’clock. I just finished lunch at 12 o’clock. I’m resting at the company for an hour or so before going to the United Department. I’ll see you then.”
“Okay.”
Eddie hung up the phone.
Not long after, Mike finished arranging Karlen’s house, bringing her to check.
Hellen was left alone in the office. She exhaled. “It’s finally quiet.”
At noon, when Mike wasn’t around, Hellen’s phone rang.
“Mrs. Jovano, an old lady on the first floor said that she was your grandma and insisted on seeing you!”
Hellen frowned. Her grandmother had passed away long ago. She hadn’t even seen her!
On second thought, Hellen thought of Granny Grant. “Invite her up.”
A few minutes later, the receptionist brought along Granny Grant and appeared in front of Hellen.
Granny Grant’s usually kind face was now filled with bitterness.
Her voice trembled slightly as she said, “Hellen, my Hellen. I have finally seen you!”
Hellen saw Granny Grant’s reaction and her heart tightened. She hurried forward to support Granny Grant. “Grandma, why did you come out by yourself again?”
What’s wrong with Hans?
How could he get an old lady with Arte’s Hymn disease to leave the house twice a month?
Granny Grant held Hellen’s hand. “Hellen, I want to ask you something. Are you divorced from Hans?”
The old lady couldn’t continue and looked at Hellen with anticipation as if she was waiting for her to deny it.
Hellen pursed her lips and then said, “Grandma, I’ll call Hans first.”
She had a bad feeling. Previously, because Granny Grant couldn’t stand too much stimulation, Hans had been hiding the divorce from her.
But now, Granny Grant had come to The Jovano Group. It was obvious that she knew Hellen is the daughter of the Jovano family.
She definitely knew that they were divorced.
But didn’t everyone in the Grant family hide it from Granny Grant? How could she know?!”
Hellen called Hans. Under Granny Grant’s gaze, her voice was calm as she said, “Hans, yes, come to The Jovano Group. Grandma is here.”
After hanging up the phone, Granny Grant looked sad and took Hellen’s hand. “Hellen, is there anything wrong with Hans? I’ll teach him a lesson for you. Divorce is a big deal. I know that Hans has let you down all these years, but…”
She knew that the first reaction to Hans and Hellen’s divorce was asking them to remarry!
There was also a remedy for the divorce, but-
“Hellen, has Hans hurt you too deeply?” Granny Grant clenched Hellen’s hand tightly.
Hellen hesitated for a moment but still told the truth.
“I forgot what happened before. I just had a car accident. After I woke up and had amnesia, Hans asked for a divorce.” Hellen looked at Granny Grant sincerely. “Grandma, I don’t think Hans and I are a good match.”
Granny Grant’s expression froze and her voice trembled slightly. “So, you’ve forgotten your love for him as well?”
“Yes.” Although this was cruel, Hellen still answered.
Granny Grant closed her eyes and started to weep.
There was no way to remedy the situation.
Perhaps this was his grandson’s retribution for what he had done to Hellen…
