Chapter 41: I Will Pay You Ten Times Your Salary

Levi rubbed his eyes with a drunk look and looked at the woman who walked into the hall. The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, “Is she a fairy?” Hearing his words, the people looked over and were stunned. Some of them were so surprised that the wine glasses in their hands fell to the ground. And many people couldn’t help but gasp. Estelle said softly, “Sir, you are wrong. Mr. Grantham’s daughter’s family name is not Grantham.” Someone retorted at once, “Who are you? Don’t talk nonsense. How is it possible that Mr. Grantham’s daughter doesn’t have the same family name as him?” Estelle frowned slightly, took a look at the man who was speaking, and recognized him. The man was called Mike. He was a vice manager of the Hudson Group, and Estelle’s father thought highly of him before. Estelle smiled and said, “Uncle Mike, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.” Hearing that, the man was stunned and asked, “Who are you?” “Uncle Mike, you used to be ambitious when you were young. But you couldn’t find a job because of your educational background. My father gave you a chance to work in the Hudson Group and promoted you to vice manager of the company. Do you still remember that? It seems that you are in a higher position and very successful now.” Mike asked in disbelief, “You are... the daughter of Mr. Hudson?” “Yes, I’m Estelle Hudson, the owner of this villa,” Estelle smiled gently. She slowly walked up to the wall in high heels, touched it, and said, “What a pity! My mother designed and decorated the villa for a long time back then, and our villa used to be very elegant. Unfortunately, everything in the villa has been changed, and the villa looks so vulgar now.” The people at the party didn’t expect that there would be such an episode at Melody’s birthday party and looked at each other with confusion. Almost everyone in the business world in Hadale knew that York was in charge of the Hudson family after the car accident. Still, no one knew the whereabouts of Estelle and Aurora after Estelle’s father, George died.

Some people guessed that Estelle and Aurora had gone abroad, and some others guessed that they were still in Hadale but didn’t have the nerve to show their faces because of what the Hudson family had done to the Hans family. They all thought that it was George who plotted to kill Cristofer’ parents. Estelle’s sudden show up surprised everyone present at the party. And all of a sudden, the hall fell into silence. At the stairway, Gretchen looked in the direction of the crowd in confusion and saw that a woman in a dark blue floral dress seemed to be talking with York. She could only see the woman’s back and didn’t know who she was. “Cristofer,” Gretchen called Cristofer’ name. When she turned her head and was about to ask him what was going on, she found that Cristofer was fixing his eyes on that woman. She followed his gaze and saw that the woman wore the same high-heeled shoes she had just worn earlier. When she looked at the diamonds on the shoes, she seemed to realize something and raised her head in shock, thinking, Could this woman be... While Gretchen was thinking, the woman slowly turned around, and she saw the woman’s face. Estelle! It’s really her! Isn’t she taking care of her mother in the hospital? Why did she suddenly come here? And she even dressed up. Gretchen then looked at Cristofer again. At this moment, Cristofer’s eyes were still fixed on Estelle, and he was completely amazed by her. “Cristofer?” “...” “Cristofer!” “...” “Cristofer!” Gretchen raised her voice and pulled Cristofer’ sleeve hard. It was not until then that Cristofer realized that Gretchen was calling his name. He reluctantly shifted his gaze from Estelle to Gretchen and asked, “What’s the matter?” Seeing him like this, Gretchen was furious, but she didn’t dare to lose her temper in front of

Cristofer. With a fake smile, she asked softly, “Miss Hudson is so beautiful today, isn’t she?” Cristofer pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Gretchen then pulled his arm, turned him around, and let him stand with his back to Estelle. Then she said, “Cristofer, today is my mother’s birthday party. What is she doing here? Is she here to make a scene?” Not far away, Melody and York were standing together and staring at Estelle with hostility and resentment in their eyes. They had been in the limelight at the birthday party, but at this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Estelle. Therefore, they were very unhappy. Melody wondered, What is she doing here? Is she here to mess up my birthday party? She was displeased about Estelle’s appearance but still pretended to be very happy. “Hi, Estelle. Nice to meet you. We haven’t seen each other before, and you may not know me. I’m your Uncle York’s wife. You can call me Auntie...” “Mrs. Grantham,” Estelle interrupted her. “This is the Hudson’s House, not the Grantham’s House. How could you hold your birthday party at this house without the permission of my mother and me? You’ve gone too far.” Melody, who didn’t expect that Estelle would embarrass her in front of so many people, looked awkward, and her face darkened. Then she said, “Estelle, we are a family. Since your father died, your Uncle has been managing the company and supporting the family.” Before she finished her words, Estelle sneered and said sarcastically, “Oh, I really should be grateful to him.” Then she turned to York and said, “By the way, Uncle York, since I’m back, please return the company to me. I’m my Dad’s only daughter and also his only heiress. So his heritage, including the house, cash, stocks, and company shares, all belong to me. So please give them back to me. And from today, I’ll be in charge of the family.” York said with a darkened face, “Estelle, how could you talk to me in such an impolite way? Didn’t your mother tell you that you should be respectful when talking to the elders?”

“My mother taught me to respect the elders. She also told me to guard everything belonging to me. Uncle York, you’ve worked hard in the company for six years. I will pay you ten times your yearly salary as your wages in the past six years. Besides, I hope you’re clear that the Hudson Group belongs to the Hudson family, not the Grantham family.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
