Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 10

"I do not know how to either. But the Old Madam said that the Young Master knows how to open it." Miss Woods shook her head, looking troubled.

I kept the box and thanked Miss Woods before leaving.

Miss Wood's voice spoke out behind me. "Young Madam, you do not look too good. You must take care o f your health. Before Old Madam passed away, she had always spoken about you and wanted you and Young Master to have a child soon. The Grant family's bloodline is in your hands now."

At the mention of children, I could not help but stop in my tracks. I raised my hand to wave at Miss Woods and left without looking back.

Grandma had three sons. The eldest son, Eastin, had a daughter. The second son, Sam, had chosen to not have any children with his wife. The third son was Theo's father, Nord. He passed away with Theo's mother in an airplane accident when Theo was three years old.

Although the Grant family had a big family business, they had very few family members. Grandma had always hoped that Theo could start a family soon and continue on the bloodline.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't this the former Young Madam of the Grant family? What did I say back then? Without the Old Madam's support, you will not be able to be arrogant for much longer. Did my words come true so quickly?" Just as I was thinking, a gloating voice came from the front.

Without even looking, it was obvious that this person was Eastin's wife, Janna Long.

It was natural that there were many disputes among wealthy families. Although Eastin was the eldest son, he had never been put in an important position by his mother. Furthermore, he had given birth to a daughter. Thus, his mother had handed the entire Grant family over to Theo instead. His wife was unwilling to accept this, so she hated Theo.

She, however, never dared to act rashly in front of Theo.

I came from a poor family and was given an important position by Grandmother. I had become a thorn in her side. Whenever she had the chance, she would mock me. I had long gotten used to it.

Suppressing the sadness in my heart, I raised my head and politely greeted her and Shea Marie who was behind her, "Hello, Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt!"

"Why are you so useless? You were kicked out of the family just like that. Sigh!" Second Aunt sighed.

Second Aunt did not have any children and was holding shares in the Grant Corporation. She was not friendly to me, nor was she targeting me.

"Theo is an ingrate. You can tell from his attitude toward the old lady. It is a waste that the old lady kept thinking about him before she died," Janna said with disdain.

"Alright, that is enough." Shea glared at her before turning to me. "Grandmother has already been buried. You should go back earlier! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the old mansion to look for us."
