Chapter 162: A trick is a trick.
I know in my heart what he’s talking about.
“It’s not your fault, it’s mine!” I said without evasion.
“A dereliction of duty is a mistake! I was derelict in my duty in your choices and did not stop you in time before you were led astray! I have no recourse!”
I felt a little guilty and didn’t dare speak up.
“Dad, how did you get suspicious of him? And after that, how did you know I was still in the country?”
Dad said in a cloudy voice, “I contacted my friends in Newport and watched Medikit Inc covertly, and finally realized that Robert had moved Medikit Inc, but was too bitter to mess around without hearing from you.”
“Later, your classmates came to me and analyzed a lot of details. We found Lilly’s school and tried to find out more about your whereabouts from the kids. But the news we got was also of the same caliber, saying that you had gone abroad for treatment and recuperation!”
“My classmate?” I was a little confused, “Which one of my classmates?”
“Blake! He asked someone to check abroad, and although your passport name was on the exit records, there was no trace of you at all! He was the one who decided that you must still be in Newport and never left.”
“Blake again?” i whimpered in shock.
“This happened thanks to Blake, who came through big time. Then he got help to get the teacher to get it out of Lilly’s mouth that you’d be at home, in bed, recovering from your illness. We were furious when we heard that.”
My dad’s face sank, so cold that it was eerie, “Before I could find him, he showed up first, came to the house to put on a show, and even arranged this Hilda. I’ll take the ploy and let him act it out, and fearing that you’ll have an accident, I threw out the ancient street thing as bait. You, you’ll have to learn if you look at a person from now on!”
“Dad! I didn’t guard Medikit Inc and now it’s all in his hands! I was wrong! I was too willful!” I said softly with penitent downcast eyes, bowing my head for the first time in this matter.
My dad’s expression loosened and he glanced at me, “It’s no problem for him to have ambition, but it’s too beastly to use it between a husband and wife like that! I’m not old enough to let him bully my daughter with impunity!”
My eyes welled up and I felt a strong sense of security that I had a strong backing behind me.
“What do you want to do, Dad?” I looked to my dad, “But can I handle this on my own? This is a revenge I want to take on myself.”
“Then you’ll take care of things in Newport, and you won’t have to take care of things in Southend! You must remember that Southend is your home, your position! In the future, you must take care of this street!” My dad solemnly told me, “Dad will plan this street and give it to you as a starting point for you to set sail again.”
I’m really ashamed that I’m so old and I still have to have my old father plan my future path for me.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Dad! You shouldn’t work too hard, this ancient street is your wish, just think of it as the joys of old age, don’t think of me all the time. I’m not that weak!”
“No, this ancient street has a lot of business opportunities, I’ll talk to you in detail after resolving everything in front of me, Dad is getting old, you have to fulfill Dad’s wish! This plan isn’t something you just say you’ll finish, it’s a long term plan! You can do it for a lifetime and pass it on, perfecting it from generation to generation.”
“That’s not an ideal you’re trying to make into an heirloom!” I laughed at him.
“Hmmm! This Robert, he’s a rat!” My dad said with a look of contempt.
“So you said on the phone yesterday that you were going to talk to him about Sheel Pharma?” I asked, looking over at my dad with suspicion in my eyes.
My dad grunted, narrowed his eyes a bit, put down the teacup in his hand, and whispered something to me. I was so shocked that I barely dropped my jaw.
“You … dad, are you telling the truth?” I stared at my dad in disbelief and admiration.
