Chapter 831 Fixing Up A Blind Date (Part One)

The reply that she had received from the other end of the phone pleased Sharon and she responded,

"Okay, fine, I am coming to meet you right now! Where are you? Please text me the address."

After?they had bid each other goodbye, Sharon quickly hung?up?the?phone. There was a huge?

smile?on her face, making it look as if she was pretty pleased with what she had just heard.

She then stood up, looked at Fred who was standing in front of her and then turned to look at Greg who

was sitting not far away, announcing, "My best friend is back in the city and I will stay with her for a few

days."

Before the father and son could say something in return, Sharon turned away to go upstairs and pack

up all her things.

Fred didn't say a word to that, but walked over and sat beside Greg on the sofa.

"I am very sorry, Father!" Greg apologized as his head lowered down.

"No, don't say that! It's not your fault at all!" Fred comforted his son and patted on his shoulder. "If your

Aunt Sharon wants to move out for some time, let her do it! I hope that when she is back her mind

would have cleared of all the negative thoughts."

"Father," Greg called Fred. Actually, he didn't care about Sharon at all. He was least bothered about

what she was going to do after this.

"Yes, what happened son?" asked Fred, still looking at his son continuously.

"I'd like to take over the XS Hospital from tomorrow onward. I really want to do something for you!"

Greg didn't expect that he would have the courage to say such a thing in front of his father.

"Greg, have?you?figured?it all out?" There was a surprise in Fred's voice. Earlier, he wanted to ask his

son to take charge of the hospital and he would always change the topic. But today, to his utter

surprise, Greg unexpectedly brought up the topic himself and expressed his desire to do so! Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes," Greg slightly nodded his head, but he kept his head lowered as he did not want to face his

father. He did not want his father to read his expressions, or understand why he was doing that.

"Good! I should step aside and let you handle the rest!" Fred smiled. He was really happy that this son

had finally taken this decision.

"Father, I will take care of the hospital and you can then leave in peace with Sharon. This way the

whole family would be able to enjoy a calm life," Greg said to his Father.

Greg's words made Fred's smile?change?into a?frown. He could understand the sadness from the

tone of Greg's voice, so he asked, "Greg, are you...missing Violet?"

"Father, I think of her all the time," Greg replied without hesitation. Violet had been the love of his life

for a very long time and he would never let her and her memories go away from his life.

Fred heaved a deep sigh and said, "It's all our fault and we are sorry for whatever we did to Violet!"

"Father," Greg suddenly called out to his father and lifted his head. Even though he was missing Violet

terribly, he said calmly, "Say nothing more. I am waiting for her to come back! I know she will return!

But before she comes, I hope that our family understands the importance of being together so that her

stay this time will be blissful."

"Okay, okay!" Fred agreed with Greg. As long as his son was fine, he could do anything for him.

In the morning, when Lawrence got up and went downstairs, he saw Lily and Bill were standing in the

living room probably waiting for him to come.

"Good morning, master," they greeted him together.

"Morning! Why are you standing here, were you waiting for me?" asked Lawrence, feeling surprised.

They seemed to be behaving a little strange today. Moreover, they were also not looking like they used

to do earlier.

"Master, Mr. Derek called this early morning and he asked if you could meet him." Lily's tone was very

amiable.

"What for?" asked Lawrence, not sure what Derek wanted to see him for.

"JS Group! It seems that Mr. Mond and your Uncle Wilson are also going to be there!" replied Lily,

politely.

Lawrence thought hard, wondering if the elders would blame him for what had happened at the party

last night.

Hearing no reply from Lawrence, Bill asked, "Master, will you drive there by yourself or you want me to

drop you there?"

"I will drive there on my own. You go ahead and handle the other tasks at home! I will go there after I

have finished my breakfast," Lawrence told Bill, as he walked towards the dining hall to have some

breakfast.

Lily was worried about him. After she saw that Bill had gone, she walked towards Lawrence and asked,

" Master, well, will they ask you about the things that happened last night?"

"I don't know, but I really don't care. It has happened and can't be changed!" Lawrence seemed very

indifferent and took a bite of the bread.

"Oh, no! Master, if Mr Derek is mad at you, you must keep silent and don't reply back. Since Sir and

Madam are also not home, no one will be there to support you," said Lily. She was worried that

Lawrence would not be able to speak up for himself in front of so many elders of the family.

"Don't worry, Lily! I still have my Uncle Wilson! I know Uncle Derek has a close relationship with the

Xiao family and I deserve to be blamed. But my uncles Wilson and Mond will certainly be by my side.

Just relax, Lily. I will be 100% fine!" Lawrence was not worried about what was going to happen at all.

"Fine!" Lily could say nothing more to that but nod her head helplessly.

After breakfast, Lawrence drove the car and rushed to JS Group. The moment he arrived at the gate,

he got off the car, threw the keys to the security guy so that he would park his car, and went inside.

When he arrived at the president's office, he saw all three of his uncles were sitting there waiting for

him to come.

Lawrence looked around and said, "This office still looks the same as when I left. It hasn't changed

much."

"You brat! Come over here and sit down!" Derek greeted him. It seemed that he was not angry at all.

Instead, he seemed very happy with something.

When he saw the pleasant smile on Derek's face, Lawrence couldn't believe his eyes. He took off his

glasses and with disbelief, asked, "Uncle Derek, aren't you going to teach me a lesson today?"

"What lesson, what are you talking about?" Derek was confused by Lawrence's question.
