Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Not Planning to Come Back?
Evelyn Clayton didn’t know what to say, and the dinner was finished in silence. James Grant unexpectedly took the initiative to
say goodbye.
"Once I’m through with this busy period, I’ll come see you again." James Grant’s voice was slightly hoarse, with a subtle glint in his eyes, "By then, I’ll have everything handled so you won’t have any concerns."
His words were vague, yet the meaning was self-evident.
Evelyn Clayton’s heart pounded like a drum, holding back from responding.
James Grant left, and Iris Lockwood finally breathed a sigh of relief, complaining, "That man is so elusive day by day, always bothering you. What is he really up to?"
"Who knows." Evelyn replied somewhat perfunctorily, chatted with Iris a bit, and then went back to her room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Evelyn’s expression was dazed.
What James Grant said today meant that he would be with Lynn Yates...
This thought flashed by, and Evelyn abruptly closed her eyes.
She couldn’t dwell on it anymore.
She had vowed not to let anything about James Grant affect her again.
——
Night falls, Grant Family’s old residence.
"Son, you were really great today! Made your mom proud!"
At the dinner table, Shirley Owens was overwhelmingly excited, eagerly serving Jasper Grant dishes and soup.
Jasper Grant chuckled lightly, "Mom, you’re exaggerating. This is what I ought to do."
Harrison Grant also smiled faintly, looking pleased, "Jasper, you indeed did well this time. Those senior shareholders and employees praised you."
Jasper Grant smiled broadly, raised his glass, "Everything I know was taught by you. It’s my honor to ease Dad’s burdens."
Harrison Grant’s smile deepened, clinking glasses with his youngest son, his vanity greatly satisfied.
But thinking of James Grant, Harrison’s smile faded somewhat.
It’s a shame the eldest son is unruly...
In Harrison’s mind, it would be ideal for James to take over Atlas Group, after all, James is his eldest son, the child he had high hopes for.
As for Jasper, helping James manage the family’s business in the future would be a perfect solution.
Unfortunately, James has grown too quickly, beyond his control now.
Shirley Owens observed her husband’s expression and knew what he was thinking.
"Jasper, but you mustn’t be arrogant." Shirley took the opportunity to admonish, "Though things went well this time, you must work diligently and help ease your dad’s worries. You must not be like your brother, and anger your dad, understood?"
Jasper Grant responded warmly, smiling, "Don’t worry mom, I’ll always side with Dad. Before my brother returns, I’ll definitely assist Dad to help Atlas get through tough times."
Harrison Grant was thoroughly satisfied, but his anger towards James increased, "Don’t mention that ungrateful son again! In my opinion, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to leave Atlas to you! Do I only have one son?!"
Shirley Owens’s eyes flashed with delight.
Jasper Grant smiled gently, "Dad, don’t say that. What my brother said last time was probably out of anger. I heard he went to meet Lynn’s father shortly after leaving home, which seems to show he still values his relationship with Lynn."
Harrison Grant paused slightly, his brows furrowed, his expression seeming to waver, "When was this?"
Shirley Owens’s eyes sparkled, continuing with her son’s words, "Just a couple of days ago... sigh, I don’t know if I should tell you, but Amelia came to me earlier."
Harrison’s brows furrowed further, "What do you mean, should you tell me or not? Just speak!"
"Amelia said that when James went there, his attitude wasn’t great. His words insinuated an intention to break off the engagement." Shirley expressed concern, "Is the child serious about this?"
"What?!"
Harrison Grant’s anger abruptly reached its peak, "Does he really not plan to return to this family?!"
