To Live an Eternal Life

Chapter 19: Pressing Step by Step

The next day, early morning.

Katherine was wearing short-sleeved shorts and a ponytail, dripping with sweat. She was full of

youthful vitality.

Every day, she would come to Mingyue Lake for a morning run.

"Wow!"

Katherine stopped and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Next to her, Charlie handed her mineral water and asked with a smile, "Every day you will stop and

look at that place. Are you looking at Zique Mountain?"

"Yeah, what else can I see except for Zique Mountain?"

Katherine rolled her eyes at him and frowned, "Since a year ago, you followed me every morning. Don't

you think I don't know? You’re so stubborn that you always didn’t show up."

Charlie touched his nose awkwardly.

Before, he felt that Katherine was disgusted with him, so he could only silently follow behind to protect

her. This morning, Katherine asked him to go for a morning jog with her for the first time, which made

Charlie feel very happy.

"Speaking of which, after running for so long, why are you not short of breath? You are not bad!"

"Actually, if you try it, you will know if I am strong."

Katherine looked confused, and then understood the meaning of the words. Her face became terrible.

Charlie quickly changed the topic. He looked at Zique Mountain opposite Mingyue Lake, and asked,

"Do you want to live in a villa on the mountain?"

"In J City, which one don't want to live in Zique Mountain? Living there is a manifestation and symbol of

status. Grandma's wish is to buy a villa in Zique Mountain. Even if it is at the foot of the mountain, it’s

okay."

Katherine looked forward to living there, but then she sighed, "But the villa at the foot of the mountain

costs 20 million to 30 million. Even if we sell all of the Hunt Family's property, we can't afford it. It is said

that Zhizun Villa on the top of the mountain is worth more than one billion. The one who bought Zhizun

Villa must be the super rich!"

"Super rich?"

Charlie muttered to himself. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I have the key to that villa. If

you’re interested in it, I can take you to visit it now."

"Charlie, I haven't scolded you for a few days. You are getting more and more naughty. You even dare

to make jokes with me!"

Katherine kept rolling her eyes.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Spencer's call.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Katherine, something serious happened. Your Grandma is coming to our house. Didn't you read

message in WeChat Group? Everyone is talking about it!" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"What!"

Spencer's tone was mixed with anxiety and tension. She urged, "Come back quickly. I feel flustered."

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

Hanging up the phone, Katherine quickly checked WeChat Group.

Sure enough, there was countless messages.

"Katherine, what qualification does she have to let Grandma invite her back to the company in person?

So impolite. She is not worthy to be the offspring of the Hunt Family!"

"She’s so cocky now. Manager Watson doesn't cooperate with anyone except her. Tsk-tsk. She's really

awesome, making Manager Watson only listen to her alone!"

"Yeah, I don't know what method she used. Let Katherine teach us. I want to learn!"

"Latest news, latest news. Grandma is leaving!"

...

Seeing Katherine looking nervous, Charlie soothed, "Don't be afraid. I’m here with you."

"Is it really okay? If Grandma gets angry..."

"Trust me. But you don't have to go home. You get in the car to change clothes. Just go directly to

Chengyu Group to find Manager Watson. I will go home and wait for Grandma to come over."

Seeing Charlie's confident look, Katherine's nervousness and panic gradually went away. She did not

ask anymore.

When Charlie got home, Spencer, Axel and Isabella were all uneasy.

"Charlie, you come back alone? Where is Katherine?"

"I have my own arrangements."

Spencer shouted angrily, "Mom is coming. You are still making arrangements. Do you know what you

are doing? If you make Mom angry, Charlie, I'll not let you go!"

"Mom, don’t scolded him! Grandma has already arrived in the community." Isabella stared at the phone

and said.

In WeChat Group of the Hunt Family, it was broadcasting lively.

"There is no one to pick up Grandma at the gate of the community. How dare they!"

"They’re totally screwed up!"

"Wait to see. Grandma will definitely be furious. Katherine is asking for it. She can't wait to get out of

the Hunt Family!"

At the gate of the community.

With a cold expression on her face, Old Lady Hunt climbed up to the sixth floor with the help of her

servant. Finally, she came to the door of Katherine's house out of breath.

"Mom, you are here!"

Axel and Spencer received Old Lady Hunt with smiles.

Spencer, who was like a tiger at home, looked like a mouse in front of Old Lady Hunt.

"Grandmother."

"Isabella, when did you come back?"

"Yesterday."

Old Lady Hunt walked into the room, sat down and asked, "Where is Katherine? Why didn't I see her?"

"Grandma, Katherine is not at home." Charlie walked out of the room.

Ewan shouted, "Charlie, get into the room. You have no rights to speak here. Let Katherine come out

quickly. Grandma is here. She dares to put on airs?"

Charlie ignored him and poured a cup of tea for Old Lady Hunt.

Then, staring at Old Lady Hunt, he said word by word, "Grandma, Ewan is your eldest grandson, and

Katherine is also your granddaughter. I don't know what Ewan told you, but you removed Katherine's

position for no reason. You’ve gone a bit too far. Now that you’re facing the consequences of

terminating the cooperation. Who do you think is to blame?"

"Asshole. Who do you think you are? You dare to question Grandma? Who gave you the guts?" Ewan

pointed to Charlie's nose and scolded.

Lewis also said coldly, "It's not your turn to be cocky here. Let Katherine come out quickly."

Charlie didn't move.

Spencer was in a panic, but Katherine was really not at home. She didn't know how Charlie arranged it,

so she didn't know what to say.

"Interesting."

Suddenly, a sneer appeared on the face of Old Lady Hunt, "You're so sure I'll come here in person?

You’re not afraid that I will give up this project in a fit of anger."

"Grandma, you wouldn't do this. The project of Chengyu Group is profitable enough to allow the Hunt

Family to rank into the first-class family. At that time, you can buy a villa in Zique Mountain. Grandma,

am I right?"

Charlie looked at Old Lady Hunt with a smile. But Old Lady Hunt's face darkened.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. The atmosphere became particularly tense.

In the end, Old Lady Hunt snorted and said coldly, "Today, you make me impressive. Axel and

Katherine dare not disrespect me. You planned all this, didn’t you?"

"Yes."

"The purpose is only to restore Katherine's position as the person in charge? Or is it to get back at me

or at the Hunt Family?"

Charlie's eyes turned to Ewan.

"Why do you stare at me?"

"Grandma, I think your eldest grandson has something to with the rumors from the outside. Katherine

can continue to be the person in charge. But it is difficult to clear the rumors."

Old Lady Hunt frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Charlie's face became intense. His voice increased a bit, "I want Ewan to personally admit that it's him

who spread the rumors to slander Katherine. At the same time, Grandma should stand up and speak

for Katherine, and remove Ewan's position as deputy general manager as punishment. Although this

can't make everyone outside shut up, it can at least suppress a part of it!"

"Fuck off!"

Ewan's face was grim. He was roaring in his heart. This trash actually proposed to remove his position

as deputy general manager. How dare he!

"Grandma, you should be very clear about which is more important. Of course, I won't go too far. Ewan

will be removed from his post and cannot be restored within a year. As for what’s your plan after a year,

I don’t care."

At this moment, Charlie's eyes became sharp, as if he was different from before.

"Just one year. I buy a year of time and an opportunity for Katherine to show her abilities. I believe

Katherine can make the Hunt Family become stronger!"

"Grandma, please agree."

There was deathly silence in the room.

Everyone was shocked. Axel and his wife had mixed feelings. Spencer, who disliked Charlie, found that

Charlie was still not bad at this moment.

"Are you insane? You trash. You dare to threaten Grandma? You deserve to die!"

Ewan screamed, then leaned over and said, "Grandma, you know I..."

"Shut up!"

"What?"

"Just do what Charlie said!"

Boom!

Suddenly, Ewan was dumbfounded.

Lewis felt something was serious. He almost knelt down to intercede, "Mom, Ewan is your eldest

grandson. How can you help an outsider? Mom, think twice!"

"I have decided. Which one dares to talk nonsense, just get out of the Hunt Family!"

The final word.

Ewan's face was pale. Axel and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, secretly admiring Charlie. He won.

In WeChat Group, after this message appeared, no one spoke.

Everyone knew that there would be a huge change in the Hunt Family.

In the coming year, Katherine would be the most powerful person in the Hunt Family apart from Old

Lady Hunt. The relatives of Katherine who had previously targeted Katherine's family started to feel

anxious.

Some people had even begun to prepare some gifts to apologize.

"Thanks, Grandma!"

Charlie took out his mobile phone and called Katherine, "Hey, Katherine, Grandma is here. How is it

going?"

"Grandma, I'm in Chengyu Group. I have already contacted Manager Watson. The cooperation can

continue. The project is still the Hunt Family's!"

Old Lady Hunt took a deep breath and stood up with the crutch.

When she reached the door, she stopped but did not look back. Her voice was cold, "I don't like this

feeling very much. This is the first and will be the last time!"

"Thank you, Grandma."
