Betrayed and Dumped She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 537

The Garfield family?

George’s mind spun with questions. Why would the Garfields want to see him? Sure, the younger folks from both families got along well enough, but he and Charlie had always kept things pretty formal.

Still puzzled, George had the Garfields shown into the living room.

Charlie sat in the center of the room with Richie. Both of them were silent, waiting patiently for George to arrive.

Not long after, George entered, leaning on Frank’s arm for support.

“Mr. Duncan,” Charlie called out, getting up quickly to greet him. Richie stood too and nodded. “Hello.”

George waved them off. “No need to stand on ceremony. Grab a seat.”

The housekeeper arrived with his favorite tea, the kind he always drank.

Charlie started off with a few polite words, asking about recent events with the Duncan family and checking in on George’s health. George smiled, made some small talk, and then set his cup down.

He looked at them with a grin. “Come on, we’re hardly strangers. Whatever you want to say, just say it.”

With the gifts they brought and the fact that Charlie had brought his son along, George could guess they had come with a request.

Charlie smiled, a bit sheepish. “I knew I couldn’t hide anything from you.”

He glanced at Richie, then said, “This is my son, Richie. He’s been working with me at Garfield Corporation. The kid’s got a real head for business. Ever since he took on more responsibility, our numbers have only gone up. Of course, he can’t quite compare to Stephen, but next to other heirs, he’s quite impressive.”

George gave Richie an approving look. “I’ve heard all about Richie, even in my retirement. Like father, like son, as they say. And he’s not just smart, he’s got the looks too. A very promising young man.”

Charlie’s heart skipped a beat. With praise like that, he thought, this just might work.
