Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 51

Grandma Sue's expression turned stony. How was she supposed to wrap everything up neatly when the situation had been blown into such monstrous proportions? It would be too obviously biased if she did not try to appease Yvonne. However, she could not bring herself to throw Harvey out of the house.

Yvonne had raked in quite a tidy fortune for the Sues, but to Grandma Sue, her worth would never surpass that of Harvey's. Furthermore, only Harvey could carry on the Sue legacy.

"Brother Johann, I'm very grateful for your help with our family matter," Grandma Sue told him. "Just tell m e how much you want."

Johann's intention of making extra profit was a mere excuse. Samuel had instructed him to do this, and he merely followed orders. "Seeing that you’re an upstanding citizen, Grandma Sue, and I'm not an insensible person, I'll see you again when you have settled the matter.”

He left the office with Gareth after he finished speaking.

Silence suffocated the air of the meeting room. Harvey kneeled before his grandmother, barely breathing.

His other relatives were also silent. Yvonne was the person in charge of the development of the West City,

and the Sue family's growth depended on their cooperation with the Weakriver Real Estate. Yet Harvey dared to do something so heinous at this crucial point in time. Even if Grandma Sue was biased toward him, it was likely that she would dole out a heavy punishment for him.

"Yvonne, since he was the one who sabotaged you, you get to decide how you want to deal with him," Grandma Sue said to her.

Yvonne was not stupid. Grandma Sue would have never let her make the final call if she had truly decided to punish Harvey. Her words revealed that she did not have the guts to go through with it.

Besides, Yvonne knew that her grandmother might not execute a ridiculous request that she made.

Rather, the old woman would mark this as an unsettled score.

"I think it's better if you make the decision, Grandmother," Yvonne said. Although she harbored extreme resentment in her heart, she had no choice but to rein it in.
