Rebirth: Revenge of the abandoned heirress-Chapter 53: Cunning Grand daughter

"Grandfather?"

That was totally unexpected.

Silence.

He just coldly stared at her with his steady eyes, as if expecting an explanation. The clock continued to tick in the background, but he showed no signs of movement. Was he using some kind of psychological trick on her—the same one he used to scare his employees into obedience?

If he was, it sure was working!

She found her heart beating faster.

Hmm... thinking about it, she should try this trick sometimes. She could learn a lot from her grandfather.

"Grandfather, how long are we going to have this stare competition?"

His face twitched in anger. He struggled to maintain a serious, scary face.

Is this all she had to say? Is this all after almost giving him a heart attack?!

"You think it's a joke?"

"No, obviously not. I just came back after witnessing a brutal massacre. It is obviously not a—"

"Do you think I care for a bloody massacre?"

That was a strange thing to say.

Jazmine was befuddled.

Who wouldn't care for a bloody massacre?

Dominic Tang had already inquired about the incident from his secretary. But being as old as he was, he had witnessed countless massacres during power struggles between notable families.

All he needed to know was that his granddaughter wasn't affected.

The rest didn't matter to him.

So his cunning granddaughter couldn't use that excuse to escape.

"Don't you dare act so clueless. I received a call from your secretary. She told me everything. You were knocked unconscious and had to stay two nights in the hospital."

Damn Emily Carrol!

I'll make sure to cut your wages in half!

"You can't fire Emily Carrol. You might be the President, but I'm the Chairman. Her position was decided by me. I entrusted you to her, and she'll stay to keep you in line."

"I never said I was going to fire her."

Why must she be blamed?

"Your face tells everything."

"Grandfather, I know you're worried. But I'm alright. If it was something serious, informing you would be the first thing I would do."

Jazmine Harrison put the utmost sincerity in her words.

Her grandfather's love for her was more genuine than anything else in the world.

He was the only family she had left after her mother's death.

In her last life, he was the one who had supported her until her final breath.

She felt guilty for not giving him a call.

She should have paid more attention to him.

After all, he was her only family.

"Who said I was worried? I was merely upset about who would look after the company in your absence."

"..."

Screw everything she had just thought in her mind.

Her grandfather finally smiled, loosening his serious face after pissing her off.

"Stupid Little Jazz. You scared me to death."

"Don't call me that in my office at least."

The last thing she wanted was for her employees to hear her being called Little Pear.

"When I heard the news, I instantly flew here and went straight to the hospital. But I couldn't find you. I thought you must have gone back to your apartment to rest, but you weren't there either. Knowing the lazy you, this office was the last place I had planned to check, but considering your past—that I always found you in the most unexpected places—I drove here. And here you are."

"Grandfather?"

Jazmine Harrison's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How can't you call me lazy?! I've been working tirelessly these past weeks. Even after getting out of the hospital, I went straight to work despite the doctors telling me to rest. You are the Chairman—I sent every file to you to sign before finalizing it. You've seen how many changes I've made in the corporation. How can you call me lazy?"

She felt emotional.

She had been waiting to be praised for her hard work.

But she was called lazy?!

How unfair!

Her grandfather's face turned dead serious again.

Oops.

"The doctors asked you to rest, and you still came to the office?"

Her grandfather had tricked her into revealing the truth.

And she was tricked... once again.

"G-Grandfather, it wasn't that—"

"You are coming with me to my farmhouse right now."

His tone was unrelenting.

He walked to the glass panes and called his secretary to book two tickets to his farmhouse.

No, she had to stop this.

There was a lot going on here.

She couldn't leave it all in the middle.

Especially now that David Anderson was about to make his next move.

"Grandfather!"

"No negotiations."

"But Grandfather, the hospital said that I must go for a check-up for the next two days. If I leave, how will I have those check-ups?"

She quickly came up with an excuse.

The doctors had indeed told her to come for a check-up.

But she had never planned to go.

Not until that crazy doctor was still in the hospital.

Her grandfather glanced at her suspiciously.

"They also said if I didn't come for the check-ups immediately after I felt something bad, it could be quite serious."

She lied shamelessly.

Dominic Tang relented.

His granddaughter was clever with words.

"Fine, you can stay here. But I will not let you do any work. And you must stay in your apartment. If you do anything against that, I'll immediately drag you to my farmhouse and won't let you go for a week."

"Okay."

She agreed like an obedient child.

...But he wouldn't be here, right?

How would he know she had gone to work?

Besides, she didn't need to go to the office for work.

She could just call her secretary to bring her the files.

She could just ask—

"And I'll be staying with you to ensure you follow the doctor's guidance."
