Chapter 89 Imminent Danger
As they chatted, Hellen leaned against the sofa, waiting for dinner.
Hans, Xeno, and Charles talked about the economic situation of Jena City and Hail City, as well as some business rivals.
Hellen listened as well.
The Grant family controlled Jena City very carefully. There was nothing that could be hidden.
Hearing this, Hellen was shocked.
The Grant family and the Jovano family had been in Jena City for many years and had been confronting each other. She didn’t know how much Hans knew about the Jovano Group.
As if he had sensed her fearful gaze, Hans turned to look at her.
As their eyes met, Hellen silently turned her head and took a sip of tea from the cup on the table.
There was a knock at the door. Lady Grant was back.
After entering the house, Lady Grant saw Xeno and Charles. She appeared very enthusiastic and generous. “So it’s Xeno Chen and Charles. I was wondering why there was a car parked outside.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze descended onto Hellen, and her expression turned cold.
“Miss Jovano, you’re here to visit Granny Grant, aren’t you?” Lady Grant’s voice was cold. “Why are you sitting here chatting?”
Lady Grant’s eyes flashed slightly. Did Hellen intentionally entwine her son and wanted to infiltrate her son’s circle of friends?
Hellen’s voice was cold. “Granny Grant went to the kitchen. She told me to wait here.”
Lady Grant frowned. “Then why didn’t you…”
Hans looked up and said, “Mom, I asked Hellen to stay here. She’s our guest now.”
Not a servant.
Lady Grant wanted to speak but was interrupted by her son. She held in her anger.
After glaring at Hellen, she went upstairs.
Taylor stood up and followed her. “Hans, I will talk with mom.”
“Go ahead.”
Taylor followed her upstairs in a hurry.
When the footsteps reached the stairwell, Lady Grant’s voice could be heard faintly, “How frivolous! I think she’s still scheming against your brother!”
Hans’ heart skipped a beat and he looked up at Hellen.
Hellen, who originally had a faint smile on his face, had a cold and indifferent gaze now, and her entire aura seemed to have suddenly been separated.
After a while, Granny Grant came out of the kitchen. “I’ve checked. your favorite dishes have been prepared, as well as Hellen’s favorite steamed fish.”
After dinner, Lady Grant went downstairs.
The atmosphere at the dining table was much heavier. Lady Grant was annoyed with Hellen, but Hellen was too lazy to pay attention to her. She only focused on coaxing Granny Grant to eat more.
Xeno tried to liven up the atmosphere several times. Seeing that he couldn’t liven up anymore, Charles winked at him from time to time and then ate quietly.
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room.
Hellen did not intend to stay any longer. She stood up and bade Granny Grant farewell.
“Granny Grant, I’m going back now. I’ll come to visit you next week.” Hellen smiled.
Granny Grant was reluctant, but she saw that it was dark outside.
“Sure. Hans, send Hellen home.”
Lady Grant furrowed her brows and said, “Mom, just let the driver send her.”
Hans stood up and said, “I will.”
Granny Grant was so happy. Hellen frowned. “No need, just let David send me off.”
Hans’ tone was calm. “David has gone home from work. Call him over now?”
“What about your family’s chauffeur?”
The Grant family occupied a large area. It would take an hour to walk out and get a taxi. Hellen had no intention of showing off.
Hans raised his eyes and stared at Hellen.
To the side, Taylor suddenly said, “Hans, I’m going to have a party with my friends later. Don’t send the driver away!”
She looked like a proud young lady.
Hellen puckered her lips and her gaze descended onto Xeno.
She looked at Xeno and said, “Xeno.”
“I came in Charles’ car,” said Xeno, raising his hand.
Charles raised his eyes when he heard this. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face. “I’m sorry but there are only two seats.”
Hellen: …
She had no choice.
She stared at Hans and said, “Let’s go.”
When they walked out of the door, Xeno looked at Charles and said with a smile, “I’ve never seen Hans be despised like this. It’s strange.”
Charles glared at him.
Xeno was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Lady Grant’s livid face and her pair of eyes staring at the door as if she wanted to eat Hellen who had already disappeared.
Charles and Xeno also got up to say goodbye and left.
Hans drove Hellen out of the old house.
The evening breeze was cool. Hellen rolled down the window and looked out at the scenery outside the window.
Hans’ car drove steadily.
“Do you have time tomorrow?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Check out the land in the Weststadt District that is going to be built into an artificial lake.”
Hellen thought for a moment. “Fine. I’ll have Mike change the schedule.”
Hans frowned slightly and asked, “How’s your brother’s recovery going?”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Later, he had learned that Everet’s leg had been injured, but he should have recovered by now. How could he still place such a heavy burden on Hellen?
Hellen was enjoying the evening breeze. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Grant. He has almost recovered. When my brother gets better, I’ll let him take charge of the affairs of the Weststadt District. I hope you can cooperate happily.”
Hans: …
Hope that Everet’s legs didn’t recover so quickly.
Hans drove Hellen home and stopped the car in front of the gate.
Hellen alighted from the car. “Thank you for today.”
Hans’ dark eyes were deep. “What are you thanking me for?”
“Treat me to dinner. Also, thank you for protecting me and sending me home.”
Hans replied with a “hmm” and said, “It’s too simple.”
“What else do you want?”
“You’ll know in the future.” Hans started the car and left.
When Hellen entered his home, Everet had already gone to rest.
She stretched herself and summoned the housekeeper. “How is the family today? Is everything all right?”
Knowing that someone was secretly targeting the Jovano family, Hellen returned home every day to ask about their safety.
The housekeeper replied, “Everything is fine, but the eldest young lady of the Lewis Family came to see you in the afternoon.”
Darcy?
Hellen took out her phone and looked at it. There were indeed missed calls on her phone. Based on the time, she had left her phone in the living room when she was strolling in the garden of the Grant family’s house.
“Did she say what happened?”
Hellen was preparing to call back.
The housekeeper shook his head and said in a complicated voice, “Miss Lewis didn’t say anything, but she seemed to have had a big fight with Mr. Everet.”
“Okay, I know. You should go to bed early.”
Hellen went upstairs. Her room was on the innermost side of the second floor. When she passed Everet’s room, she saw that the light in the crack of the door was still on.
She wanted to knock on the door and talk to her brother.
But thinking that her brother was in a bad mood now, she sighed and returned to her room.
As she showered, Hellen gently stroked her slightly bulging belly.
It wouldn’t be long before the child could move.
The matter of finding her father was urgent, and Eddie had recently sent her a message every day to recommend himself.
Hellen firmly refused and satisfactorily explained the reason. But Eddie seemed to not care in the slightest, and it angered her so she didn’t reply in the end.
