The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Chapter 397 : Coming to the door to ask for a statement



Lindsey then didn’t expect her to call her, and flinched back for a second and smiled. “I wonder what the purpose of Dr. Hailie’s call to me is?”

On this end, Hailie’s expression was grave, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. “Surprised?”

“Not too surprised, I thought we’d run out of things to say to each other a long time ago.” Lindsey couldn’t hear the tone of her voice, just smiled lightly and waited for her to continue.

Hailie pursed her lips; she couldn’t say anything to remind her, only to provoke her. “I’ve never denied my purpose, and your luck is almost at an end.”

Lindsey heard this, the heart of the committee is not comfortable, the tone of voice can not help but pull up a little. “Really, according to you, you have come prepared this time.”

“Yes, so you’d better not have any accidents, or what awaits you is to be replaced by me.” Hailie coldly snorted and hung up the phone sharply.

Lindsey held the phone, unconsciously hooked her lips lightly smiled away, but her eyes were treacherously icy cold.

After dealing with some matters of the fund, Lindsey recalled Hailie’s phone call and always had a bad feeling, so she went to the office without informing Bruce.

The special elevator was being serviced, so she took the regular elevator with other employees, but she didn’t expect to run into Burton.

However, she was standing relatively close to the inside, and Burton was on the phone and did not notice her presence.

There weren’t too many people in the elevator, and his voice was surprisingly loud on the phone, so it was impossible not to listen.

“Just do what I told you to do, grind it out, can you be a man about it?” Burton, who had been smiling and laughing at first, suddenly became angry and foul-mouthed: “Get out, and do as I say.”

Lindsey lowered her head, her bright eyes looked at her toes, and her heart grew a little wary.

Just then, Burton spoke again, but the content became very lewd. “Can’t you get a girl from last night? Find you some fresh ones some other day, and remember to get my business done, what kind of chicks are there.”

The elevator was filled with sideways glances, and several girls scattered, tacitly keeping their distance from him.

Lindsey raised an eyebrow, saw him hang up the phone, followed by backing up, back against the elevator wall.

When the elevator reached the twelfth floor, almost all the people inside were out, Lindsey leaned against the elevator wall with her hands on her chest, looking at Burton with a good deal of dignity, smiling and greeting. “Burton’s got a lively life.”

“…” Burton was instantly struck by lightning and looked at her in a daze. “When did you get in?”

“Whenever you came in, I came in.” Lindsey hooked up the corners of her lips, a cold smile faintly surfaced on her lips. “I remember Old Mr. Grant hates it when the family messes around, so it seems you don’t know about this.”

“I’m not messing around!” Burton was so anxious that he rushed out as soon as the elevator stopped.

The woman was unaware of the time she got into the elevator, how did he not know. The phone call just now, apparently she heard it all, in case …

The more Burton thought about it, the more scared he was, and immediately after rushing into the fire escape to Anthony Johnson called again, urging him to change the plan.

And not to mention Lindsey, that is, Cary, Carl, they really want to check up, his plan is tight, there are also a bunch of holes. This kind of suffering he has eaten many times, determined not to make a similar mistake again.

Lindsey didn’t care what he was up to and went straight to Bruce’s office when he got to the top floor and told him about Hailie’s phone call to himself.

“Why do I get the impression that her call was not a provocation, but a reminder?” Bruce analyzed it carefully, and his face gradually became ugly. “Could it be that it’s about Kayden and she’s not comfortable saying so, so she’s using it to put you on guard?”

Lindsey leaned into him and thought back over every word she had said, and gradually felt that it was not a provocation, but a reminder.

A reminder that someone was out to get her. But what about the reason?

Love for the house? That’s too much bullshit.

Bruce thought of that reason, too, but found it equally unbelievable. “I think this is either related to Kayden or to Sangu, she has worked with Sangu many times before, and this time when Sangu goes to Newport, she will definitely look for her.”

“This I also thought of, but it doesn’t hold water.” Lindsey frowned, unconsciously picking at her nails. “Think about it, she is now in Newport, taking care of Kayden’s living and treatment with Rodolfo, isn’t this trip of the third aunt just the right time, why should she remind me.”

“Why bother with why she has to remind, it’s never a bad thing if we’re careful.” Bruce leaned over and kissed her cheek and smiled, “Go back, Grandpa is bored at home by himself.”

Lindsey nodded and got up to wait for him to finish cleaning up and go downstairs together.

When we arrived home lunch was just about ready, Lindsey went to check on Big Boy and Little Boy before washing her hands and eating.

“Old Mr. Gregor is moving over in a few days, Bruce see if you need any help.” During the meal, Old Mr. Grant talked about it, his eyes narrowed with joy. “It’s a lot easier for me when he’s here.”

Lindsey and Bruce looked at each other with a smile and put the matter to rest.

Old Mr. Gregor is really fast, but this is good, Old man Zack is not often here, when Old Mr. Gregor came over, Old Mr. Grant also have a companion to talk.

It was the weekend and the Aidans had never visited since Old Mr. Grant moved here. Charlotte called early Saturday morning to tell Lindsey to get ready and to watch out for Kaley.

Lindsey understood, talked to Bruce, and took the older and younger children downstairs.

Kaley has been here before, and she has been in Newport all this time, so I didn’t expect her to come along for the ride.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

In fact, there was nothing to prepare, just asking the maid to prepare some more fruits and dishes for lunch.

The weather was nice, and after the rain, the temperature had dropped significantly. At almost ten o’clock, Charlotte and her children arrived first, followed by Aidan and his wife.

Lindsey and Charlotte stayed in the children’s room with the kids while Bruce and Aidan, Old Mr. Grant, and Mack all went upstairs to talk about things.

The activity room was improvised at Old Mr. Grant’s request, but it was still very comfortable.

Charlotte’s son was already walking and calling his parents.

Putting the children on the bed in the activity room, Charlotte was just about to say that Kaley seemed well prepared for this visit when she heard her voice from the door.

“It’s coming fast.” Charlotte snorted softly and lowered her voice to remind Lindsey. “Equity.”

Lindsey snapped out of it and patted her gratefully on the shoulder, calling for help from the nanny to carry Big Boy and Little Boy to the living room.

“Charlotte’s here, too.” Kaley gave Lindsey an impish glance as she entered and casually sat down on the couch. “The Grant family is changing the head of the family, how dare you hide it from me, Lindsey, you are good!”

Lindsey pretended not to understand, the expression on her face was light, and she couldn’t see the slightest bit of joy or anger. “Third Aunt, what are you talking about? I can’t understand.”

“Hum …” Kaley raised her chin, disdainfully let out a cold hum from her nose. “Why pretend, something as big as the transfer of equity, you don’t know, that’s really a ghost.”

“Sanguine.” Charlotte interjected, the same expression on her face could not see the slightest break. “Where did you hear the news, how come I don’t know.”

I don’t know, treating Bruce as more dear than his own brother, actually have the face to say that they don’t know. Her own son, silly yes, but she is not silly!

Kaley’s side eyes, happy and angry sweep Charlotte, painted red lips slowly pulled a mocking arc. “Charlotte, how to say we are also a family, you so help outsiders to speak, are not afraid that one day be sold, no place to cry!

“Since Third Aunt has called me an outsider, this matter no longer seems to be necessary to discuss.” Lindsey promptly patted Charlotte’s shoulder and laughed: “Sister, I mulled over, in this family we are all outsiders.”

Charlotte could not help but laugh, when really no longer speak.

And Kaley heard Lindsey’s insinuation of sarcasm, the fire in her heart like a hot air balloon, constantly expanding.

Laura saw Kaley coming, and the smile on her face was obviously a bit perfunctory. “Kaley’s here too, why don’t we see Burton.”

“He’s on his way, he’ll be here soon.” Kaley got up and walked demurely to Old Mr. Grant’s side, offering to take his arm. “Dad, last time I told you to stay here for a few days, why don’t you want to go back?”

Old Mr. Grant waved away her hand, his old face tensed up. “I can stay wherever I like, I don’t need to report to you.”

“I’m just saying, I didn’t mean anything by it, you’re not angry.” Kaley bowed his head, swept his toes with a fierce gaze, followed Old Mr. Grant, and sat down on the sofa obediently.

Old Mr. Grant’s heart is very unhappy, he has not cared about family affairs for many years, I did not expect that the old are old, son and daughter-in-law are very quiet, but the daughter is not honest.

Bruce gave Lindsey’s shareholding, he knew early on, and did not feel there was anything wrong. After all, the entire Grant Group’s money is in the hands of his partner, he did not also live a solid life?

Everyone sat down one by one, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly became depressing.

The big treasure and the little treasure probably sensed something, originally lying obediently in the stroller, suddenly and suddenly cried.

“Grandpa, I’ll take them aside.” Lindsey got up, smiled apologetically at Old Mr. Grant, and pushed Big Boy and Little Boy to the children’s activity room.

Seeing this, Charlotte excused her son from having company and followed.

Once they left, Kaley couldn’t help but grimace.

She knows everything about those things by pretending to be confused.

A few moments later, Burton arrived sweating, greeted Old Mr. Grant when he entered the door, and then sat weakly next to Bruce.

Old Mr. Grant glanced at him nonchalantly and spoke blandly: “Kaley, you said you had something important to say in front of the whole family, now that everyone is here, go ahead.”

Kaley cleared his throat, and the expression on his face became unmistakably sad. “I heard that the family business has fallen into the hands of others, is this true?”
