Chapter 191 One Day He Will Regret It
“I told you before if a man can be easily seduced by another woman … just let him go.” Esther pretended to be indifferent and shrugged.
She also wanted to be ignorant and insensible like Ms. Amanda and stayed in the ward to see what tricks LLIA would play.
However, to figure out the doubts in her heart, she chose to check out from the hospital.
“You’re bold!” Ross praised Esther, then he looked at her bandaged hand and asked with concern, “How is your hand?”
“Just a small injury. Doesn’t matter.” Esther nonchalantly retracted her palm.
“You are lucky to only hurt your palm. Don’t be so stupid next time,” Ross said in fear.
“I will pay attention next time.” Esther took a sip of the juice and stared at him. “Dr. Ross, it’s getting late, so I won’t beat around the bush with you. I believe you have already figured out what I’m coming for. I hope you can tell me the truth.”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“What truth?” Ross was still considering whether to tell her or not.
“Why did Master Gibson send Terence from headquarters to Proley, and don’t let him return to City R, and didn’t allow you to come with him.” Esther paused and continued, “Mrs. Gibson told me that it was because of the piece of land on the Fairy Mountain today. What does she mean? Why does it have connections with the piece of land on Fairy Mountain?”
She asked so straightforwardly that it was difficult for Ross to play dumb.
“It’s a long story,” Ross said, “I’m not sure if I’m allowed to tell you the truth. Terence may kill me for it.”
“If you don’t want Terence to stay in Proley forever, then tell me.” What Esther said sounded weird to Ross. After all, Terence was not his brother and whether he stayed in Proley or not didn’t matter to him.
But Esther said that because she believed that Ross treated Terence as a friend.
After hesitation, Ross finally said, “It has to start with Master Gibson and Terence’s mother, and Mr. Russell, whom you met last time in Randall City.”
“Mr. Russell from the Anetly Group?” Esther was surprised. “Why does it have connections with him?”
“I’m sure you can imagine how beautiful their mother was just by looking at the appearances of Terence and Julie. Heroes like beauties since ancient times. Back then, Master Gibson and Mr. Russell both spent a lot of effort pursuing Terence’s mother, and his mother finally married Master Gibson. I won’t say much about their marriage life. In short, Master Gibson has held a grudge for Master Gibson because of it. It happened a long time ago. Until recently, Terence especially went to Randall City to take down the land of the Fairy Mountain. Not only did he participate in a party in the Anetly’s, but also successfully took the land. The most shocking thing was that Mr. Russell seemed to have a very good impression on Terence and said nice words about you two everywhere…”
“Wait a moment.” Esther interrupted him. She rubbed her swollen head with one hand and raised her other hand to stop him. “Let me think about it first. You mean … Mr. Russell liked Terence’s mother and pursued her before?”
“That’s right.”
“No wonder the last time I met Mr. Russell, I felt that his temperament was so unpredictable. I see…”
In the beginning, Mr. Russell was full of hostility toward them, and then he said some weird words, and then he became so nice as if Terence was his son.
No wonder…
Although she had never seen Terence’s sister Julie, she could imagine how beautiful their mother was. It explained why Master Gibson could not forget her after so many years.
“But … what does it to do with Terence being sent here?”
“This is the key.” Ross smiled. “Because Master Gibson gave the land to the Gibson Group and was being so nice to Terence, Master Gibson began to doubt Terence was Mr. Russell’s son.”
“No way…” Esther was completely shocked.
“I know. It’s ridiculous.” Ross shook his head and said, “Because of a piece of land and Mr. Russell’s good attitude, Master Gibson began to suspect his son whom he has been raised for more than thirty years, and stubbornly thought himself was right. What is worse, Terence was as stubborn as his father, so he refused to do the paternity test that Master Gibson demanded.”
“Why? Wouldn’t it be clear after the test?”
“Yes, but Terence has his own thoughts. He thinks that if he accepts this paternity test, it is undoubtedly an insult to his dead mother.”
Esther was silent and felt related to Terence.
Yes, if he accepted the paternity test arranged by Master Gibson, it would be an insult to his mother, and he was such a proud person.
“But if he doesn’t accept it, he won’t be able to return to the headquarters. Doesn’t he care about it?” Esther asked.
It was a good opportunity for him to compete for power in the headquarters. His mother’s dignity was important, but his future was also very important.
If Amanda seized power one day, his mother’s spirit tablet would be cleared out of the Gibson’s, let alone the dignity.
“I told him the similar words, but he didn’t listen,” Ross said.
Esther paused for a moment and said, “Terence seems to not care about his future in the Gibson Group, but why did he listen to Master Gibson and come to Proley if he doesn’t want the Gibson Group?”
“Who told you that Terence doesn’t want the Gibson Group?” Ross raised his eyebrows.
“I guessed. Am I right?”
“You guessed wrong. He wants the Gibson Group more than anyone else and he will try his best to get it.” Ross said seriously, “Although he is being silly right now, one day he will regret it.”
“I agree with you.” Esther nodded.
“It’s just the beginning of the whole thing. Family love comes first. He will become different when he feels the coldness between people one day, at which he will change.”
