Chapter 100 I Had a Nightmare
Melvin tried to struggle.
Brock put his leg on Melvin's neck directly and pressed his face to the ground hard with his knees until Melvin grimaced in pain.
Melvin waved his hands frantically like a clown.
After enjoying Melvin's embarrassment for a few seconds, Kendrick said slowly, "Melvin, don't forget that you are a hit-and-run suspect. You show up so ostentatiously. Do you think the surveillance cameras were only decorations?"
Kendrick leaned forward slightly with mocking eyes. "Or do you want Grandpa to accompany you as a guest in a legal program on TV?"
Melvin came back secretly.
He didn't tell anyone.
Hearing this, Melvin panicked and hurriedly said, "Damn you. Don't ever try to frighten me. Do you believe that I'll kick you out of the board?"
Kendrick smiled faintly. "Let's wait and see."
He instructed Brock, "Drag him away."
Brock took off his jacket and covered Melvin's face, dragging him away ruthlessly.
Natalie watched them leave.
"Stop looking at them. Let's go," Kendrick said softly.
Natalie came back to her senses and asked apprehensively, "He won't go to Grandpa and tell on us, will he?"
Kendrick was calm. "I hope he will do that."
He wanted to take this opportunity to test Seth's attitude.
Seth was partial to Melvin in the past few times, but he might reweigh everything after what happened lately.
Natalie looked at his calm face and fell into deep thought.
"Do you want to see Grandpa's attitude this time?"
Kendrick looked up at her.
Natalie knew she had guessed it right.
She wheeled him forward and said, "Grandpa has been harsh on you. Maybe he has a high expectation for you, or perhaps..."
Natalie couldn't figure out Seth's attitude toward Kendrick.
Seth was a great man, and it was not easy to guess his mind.
"He is defensive against me. He's afraid that I will weaken his authority." Kendrick said, "But he relies on me. I didn't fail any of the projects handed over to me."
Seth knew well that Kendrick was the best successor he could find.
However, old men always wanted to show their authority and prove that they still had the say from time to time.
"I respect him so that he can't find faults in me, and he can't manipulate me either." Kendrick chuckled. "He can do nothing about me, so he has been struggling inside and hesitating between choices and resignation. Of course, it might be the last joy in his life."
Natalie was stunned. "Are you a psychologist?"
She said inwardly, "Does your grandfather know that you are so scheming?"
Kendrick stopped smiling.
Brock came over and whispered in Kendrick's ear habitually.
Kendrick said: "Just tell us directly."
There was nothing that Natalie couldn't hear.
"I've hung him in the underground garage and will put him down in two hours. The surveillance video here has been deleted in time. It won't have any impact."
Kendrick nodded and said, "Drive us back first."
...
Natalie hardly slept all night.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when they got home. Natalie was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.
Kendrick was not sleepy.
He worked in the study and asked Nigel to come and report on work.
Nigel hastily drove over.
Just when he arrived at the gate to the villa, he received a message on his phone.
"Go upstairs quietly."
Nigel quickly pressed his lips and began to walk on tiptoe from the gate of the villa.
After he changed the shoes, he went upstairs carefully, not daring to make any noise.
He was afraid that he would lose his legs if he made a sound.
Nigel pushed open the door quietly with his fingers and said in a subdued voice.
"Boss, I'm here."
Kendrick looked up at him and motioned for him to close the door and speak normally. "Let's get started."
After Nigel reported on the daily work, he took out a stack of documents and said, "This is the personal file and school report cards of Reuben's youngest daughter Hanna. She was exempted from the entrance exam a year ago as a special talent in art. She skipped classes many times, but she managed to pass the exams by bribing the teachers. Apart from that, she bullied her classmates at school. She has entered a student-exchange program and will study abroad in her sophomore year."
