On the surface, he sounds like he is asking me a question, but there is a hint of certainty in his words.
Inside the backlit office, the sunlight shone on Tony’s back and bathed his whole body with the golden light. It was clearly a warm color, but at that moment, his expression was a little chilly.
“Would you be happy if Myra and I argued?” He pressed his thin lips while speaking in an icy cold tone.
“Why would I be happy? I’m your grandpa. Of course I’m hoping for the best for both of you!” Sebastian’s tone was particularly exaggerated, making Tony feel a little upset after thinking about what happened last night.
As he leaned against the armchair, he threw his pen aside with one hand and took out a cigarette before lighting it up. Beside him, there was an ashtray with a dozen cigarette butts which he smoked this morning.
“Don’t tell me that… you actually got into an argument with Myra last night?” Sebastian wasn’t able to hold back the tiny excitement in his voice.
Tony smiled coldly as he stuck a cigarette between his thin lips before roughly loosening his tie. As his gaze landed on the dark red tie and the light blue shirt that he specifically wore today, his mood improved a little, but his words were still filled with sarcasm. “I’m afraid that you’ll be disappointed.”
“Oh…” Obviously, Sebastian was disappointed that he couldn’t fiddle with his grandson. I can’t believe Myra is now fully in my grandson’s grasp. She doesn’t even quarrel with him after meeting her rival in love. This is so boring!
Yesterday, the girl from the Walton Family came to see him, asking about Tony’s recent address. Of course, he knew about it and seeing that the girl refused to leave without an answer, he told her right away.
Besides, he knew about his grandson’s temperament, so he was certain that he could protect Myra while also getting rid of the girl once and for all. Initially, he thought that there would be some drama, but in the end, nothing happened.
“Grandpa, is the Walton Family recently transferring their assets to… Bradfort City?”
Just when Sebastian felt a little pity, Tony’s deep voice was suddenly heard on the other side, but this time, it sounded slightly more serious.
Sebastian raised his brows and spoke in a casual tone, “You finally realize it too.”
Tony furrowed his narrow brows slightly.
Ever since he was preparing to transfer the Hartwell Group to the country and merge it with the Hart Group, he actually noticed the Walton Group taking action. However, at that time, the Walton’s Group’s finances weren’t running smoothly, so he didn’t put much thought into it. He didn’t feel that something was happening, but Shawn sent a message to him earlier that the Walton Group had applied for the Central Square project in Bradfort City, which was the city council’s final project for this year. Even though it wasn’t a huge project, not many companies would be able to apply for it because it was valued highly by the government. What is the Walton Group trying to do?
“Yesterday, Old Master Walton made a long-distance call to greet me,” Sebastian uttered casually. “Can you guess what he said?”
“He is probably asking you for a marriage,” Tony sneered.
“You are right. He said that his granddaughter is in love with you. Since the two of you have been together for so long, why don’t we move on with marriage?” Sebastian said gleefully.
“In his dreams.” Tony took a mouthful of smoke and squinted his eyes before blowing all the smoke. “The Walton Family isn’t what they seem to be and this is why I decided to split the Hartwell Group. Grandpa, you should be more careful from now on and stop answering these bullsh*t calls. If you get yourself in trouble, nobody will be able to clean your *ss.”
“Tony, does Myra know how rude you are with your words?!” Sebastian furrowed his brows instinctively.
“What does that have to do with you?” Tony asked.
Instantly, Sebastian was rendered speechless as he grunted. After a while, he couldn’t help but ask, “Your grandma wants to know when the two of you are getting married. Don’t tell me that you plan on getting married after impregnating Myra?”
For a moment, Tony was startled.
