Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 18

The old lady looked at Samuel unhappily and asked," What do you mean when you say she's not sick?"

"Yvonne is in charge of the project. She succeeded in getting Weakriver Real Estate to collaborate with us. Irrespective of what Harvey said, the decision to replace her as the person-in-charge is yours alone. Harvey is to blame for this, but it’s also your fault, don't you agree?" Samuel said calmly.

"Samuel, who do you think you are, questioning Grandma like that?" Harvey asked as though he was going berserk.

Lionel's scalp turned numb from his exceeding anger. Samuel was nothing more than a live-in son-in-law, yet he dared to criticize and question the old lady. Perhaps he was getting tired of living.

"Samuel, you're not in any place to speak. You'd better get lost from my sight, or else you can't blame me for not sparing you any courtesy," Lionel said.

"Grandma, Yvonne is the only one who can handle this collaboration, don't you think?" No matter how worked up the others were, Samuel kept calm.

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "What's the benefit in doing all of this? If you anger me, aren't you afraid that I wouldn't want to continue with the collaboration and chase you out of the Sue family?"

"That may be possible, but the losses facing the Sue family are just too great. You wouldn't do this," Samuel said.

"Are you sure you’ve gotten to me?" the old lady asked.

"Grandma, I just want you to value Yvonne, that's all. I’ll apologize if there's anything that angered you," Samuel said.

The old lady laughed. The carrot-and-stick principle seemed quite effective.

"Is this your idea? I haven’t seen you for a few days and you've already changed you much." The smile on the old lady's face was gradually replaced by gloom. Yvonne would never dare to play such tricks on her. Nor would Godfrey and Lydia do that, since they did not even dare to breathe too loudly in front of her.

Apart from Samuel, she could not think of anyone else who could come up with such an idea.

"My original intentions were simply for the sake of the Sue family," Samuel said.

Sue family?

It was difficult to say whether he was referring to the old lady's family or Yvonne's family.

"Where’s Yvonne?" the old lady asked.

Samuel's phone rang at that exact moment and he put it on loudspeaker when answering the call.

"Samuel, I just talked to Liam. He’s willing to continue the collaboration with the Sue family," Yvonne's voice came from the phone.

Both Godfrey and Lydia were dumbfounded. They had no idea when Yvonne left home.

"Grandma’s here at our home. She must be very happy to hear that news," Samuel said.
