"So what do we do now?" Maggie asked.
"What else can we do? Daniel won't come back easily. The only option is to go to the old lady!"
***
"Elena, your Uncle Edward suddenly called and asked me to go back. What is going on?" Daniel asked.
"Dad, it's because the contract they have is invalid. Mine is the real one. Aurelis Holdings Group obviously only recognizes us, so now they're begging us to return. Otherwise, Edward won't be able to answer to Grandma!"
Daniel came to a sudden realization. "So that's it. I was wondering why Edward suddenly became so nice. Now that I think about it, all that talk about humility was completely hypocritical!"
"Dad, since they wanted to fight, we can't just go back so easily."
"Right, I understand. Don't worry, I know what to do!"
***
At the Whelan family estate.
When the old lady heard the news, she trembled with anger.
She slapped Cathy across the face.
"You... you are an absolute idiot!"
Saying that, she raised her cane, wanting to hit her again.
Maggie, eager to protect her daughter, quickly blocked Cathy. "Mom, calm down!"
When it came to her daughters-in-law, the old lady showed no mercy.
The cane struck Maggie directly.
"Ah!" Maggie screamed.
The old lady wanted to hit her again to vent her anger.
Edward quickly grabbed his mother's hand. "Mom, stop hitting her! Stop!"
Seeing this disappointing son, the old lady was so angry she wanted to beat the whole family of three.
But she was old, and after a few strikes, she was exhausted.
She pointed a trembling finger at Edward's family.
"You... you disappointing lot! After all that, the contract in Elena's hand was the real one, and I actually believed you!"
Gavin spoke up upon seeing the situation. "Sigh! Edward, you were confused! Now look, Daniel might really be angry. None of us believed their contract was real. What do we do now?"
Her older brothers, and Claire, all had to work, and Jon had a heavy workload in high school.
Now, the one who spent the most time with the parents was actually Elena.
After eating, the old lady's call came through.
Daniel glanced at the phone. "It's your grandmother. It must be about your Uncle Edward."
"Answer it, but Dad, don't agree too easily unless Grandma offers conditions in exchange."
"Okay!"
The call connected, and the old lady sounded loving. "Daniel, have you had lunch?"
"I have, Mom. Is something the matter?"
The old lady was smart and knew what Daniel was thinking.
She stopped acting.
She said directly, "Daniel, Mom was wrong yesterday. I didn't believe that the contract in Elena's hand was real. I was deceived by that good-for-nothing Edward. Now, Aurelis Holdings Group only recognizes you. You have to come back and handle this!"
"Mom, but I still want to rest at home for a few days!"
