Lily was not really tired. She just didn't want to see Simon and Frank. That was why she told Eric that she wanted to have a rest.
After all, Eric loved her very much. No matter what she said, he would listen to her.
When they returned to their bedroom, the two of them sat on the small sofa in the bedroom and continued to chat. However, not long after, Eric's phone rang.
She took out her phone and found it was a call from Noble.
"Hello, brother." Eric answered the phone, but he didn't get up. Instead, he was still sitting next to Lily on the sofa.
"All the videos on the Internet have been cleared up." "As for the newspaper… I've done as you said. And I've also checked the source of the video. Do you want to know?"
Lily was sitting next to Eric on the left. Besides, he was answering the phone with his left ear, so she could hear clearly what Noble said on the phone.
Eric smiled and said, "You're so fast. You've handled these things in less than two hours."
"As soon as you hung up the phone, Sherry called me and asked her to help investigate." On the other side of the phone, Noble seemed to be in a good mood. "The result seems to be spread out from the Qiao family's old house."
Eric slightly raised his eyebrows, and Lily next to him also had the same expression. The two of them were almost in the same pace.
Judging from the expression on their face, they were a little surprised that the video was spread from the Qiao family's old house.
But soon, Lily felt relieved, because Claire had lived in the old house of the Qiao family these days.
"I see." Eric replied indifferently.
"Aren't you surprised at all?" A surprised voice came from the phone.
"I have expected it before."
"Well, what are you going to do with the Gu company?"
"My father is in charge of the company's affairs for the time being. I'll deal with it after I finish something."
After chatting with Noble for a while, Eric hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa. He turned to look at Lily and said, "You are right."
Lily knew what he was talking about. With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, she said, "At present, only Claire has a grudge against Frank."
"Indeed." Eric nodded.
"What should we do now?" Lily turned to look at Eric and asked in a low voice.
Eric frowned and said, "We can take our time to deal with the company's affairs. What's more, the Gu company is just affected, not in a major crisis. I believe that there won't be any big trouble with dad in the company. On the contrary, I'm more worried about grandpa's health. I guess I'll stay here all the time. After all, Simon and Frank are still here. I'm afraid that grandpa will be more irritated when he sees them."
Lily nodded. Although Wayne didn't allow Simon and Frank to enter his bedroom, he would meet them as long as he came out. If they said something they shouldn't say or did something wrong, it would be a big deal.
In the afternoon, two unexpected people came to the Gu family, Claire and Eden.
They didn't go to school, but specially asked for leave. It happened to be three o'clock in the afternoon when Wayne woke up from a nap.
Knowing that the two of them had come to the Gu family's house, Lily and Eric went out of their room and went to the living room. The two were not surprised at their arrival, but Angela, who just came out of Wayne's room, was a little surprised.
"Aunt." Eden walked in front, followed by Claire. He greeted Angela politely.
"Aunt." Claire also greeted her, but she was not as natural as Eden. With an unnatural expression on her face, she lowered her head, as if she was a child who had made a mistake.
"Okay." Angela nodded with a smile, "Why are you here?"
A strange expression flashed across Eden's face, "I… I brought Claire here to apologize to grandpa."
After entering the room, Claire took a look at Wayne, who was lying on the bed, and then lowered her head, not daring to go forward. Eden secretly touched her with his hand, hinting her to move forward.
The small movements of the two were seen by others, but no one said anything.
Claire clenched her fists and stopped. To be honest, she had been afraid of Wayne since the first time she met him, let alone getting sick because of what she had done. She really didn't have the courage to go forward.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little embarrassing. At last, Wayne couldn't hold his breath and spoke first, "Didn't you say that you have something to talk to me? Why didn't you tell me when you came here?"
Eden looked sideways at Claire, who was still lowering her head, and sighed slightly. He stepped forward and said apologetically to Wayne, "Grandpa, Claire and I are here to apologize to you."
Then he turned to look at Claire and said in a stern tone, "Claire, apologize to grandpa now."
Claire looked up at Eden and then looked at Wayne. She was even more nervous, but she had to go forward.
"Grandpa… I'm sorry." After apologizing in a low voice, she immediately lowered her head and dared not look into Wayne's eyes.
Wayne was puzzled, "Apology is an apology, but you have to let me know why you are apologizing, right?"
"Well, well, grandpa..." Claire quickly looked up at him and stammered, "Yes, I posted the video online, so… That's why you are so angry and the Gu company suffer… Involved."
Wayne widened his eyes in surprise, "You said you uploaded this video?"
"Yes." Claire lowered her head and nodded, her hands twisting uneasily.
"Do you know how much loss you have caused to the Gu company?" Wayne suddenly raised his voice.
"I, I know." Claire's voice was a little trembling. Perhaps it was because of his reproachful tone that she was a little unwilling. She looked up at Wayne with a little stubbornness in her eyes, and her words became smooth. "But grandpa, do you know that I wouldn't have done that if Frank hadn't bullied me too much. I gave this video to him before because I wanted him to know about it and agree to cancel the engagement. Then it's over. But he still came to threaten me and hurt my sister. I was so angry that I uploaded the video online."
Wayne was furious. It was not Claire's fault, but his disappointing grandson who forced her to this point!
