After the kidnapping that year, Leonardo had been against Michael for a long time.
At that time, he hadn't figured out anything unusual about the kidnapping. He just felt that Michael was also responsible for it.
Since then, there had been a gap between them.
Since Leonardo was sent abroad by Michael and lived with Violet's family, he had made a clean break with Michael.
After Leonardo returned, he built his own villa and founded Tip Top Media Company. At the meanwhile, the conflict between him and Michael had also deepened day by day.
"Yes." When Leonardo sized Michael up, Michael was also looking at him.
They didn't seem to be father and son, but strangers.
Leonardo's gaze finally landed on Michael's eyes. He asked in an indifferent voice, "Why are you there?"
"I just want to see where you live." Michael's tone was as cold as Leonardo's.
In the early years, Michael had also tried to ease the relationship with Leonardo. However, they had barely spoken with each other in the recent years.
"Really? How can you suddenly care about me so much?" Leonardo looked at him with a faint smile.
What Michael disliked the most was such an expression on Leonardo's face, which made it impossible for him to read Leonardo’s mind.
Michael frowned slightly. "Since you're back, go and see your grandfather."
"Alright, we’ll have lunch together." Leonardo stood up and went to the Emerson's where Charlie was living.
After Charlie was discharged from the hospital, Leonardo seldom came to visit him.
The main reason was that Leonardo had been very busy. For another, he was reluctant to return to the Emerson's.
Leonardo stood at the door of Charlie's room and paused for a moment before pushing open the door and entering.
When the servant, who took care of Charlie, saw Leonardo, he whispered to Charlie, "Mr. Charlie, Leonardo is here to see you."
Charlie sat in a wheelchair with a thin blanket covering his laps. He stared blankly out of the window. No one knew what he was looking at.
He didn't react to what the servant said.
The servant glanced at Leonardo, nodded slightly, and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Emerson."
"Leave us alone."
After the servant left, Leonardo walked to Charlie and squatted down in front of him. "Grandpa, I'm Leonardo. How are you?"
His voice caught Charlie's attention.
Charlie turned his head to look at Leonardo. There was no light in his eyes. He just stared at Leonardo and unconsciously murmured something.
Leonardo pursed his lips and frowned, looking puzzled. He said in a serious tone, "Grandpa, what exactly are you trying to tell me?"
What Charlie had told him during the Spring Festival indicated that there was more to be known about the kidnapping case back then.
However, what Charlie wanted to say must be much severer than the little secrets behind a kidnapping case.
Why were Michael and those men so fearful?
What kind of role did Violet play in the kidnapping case many years ago and in the accident that had happened to Charlie now?
In the end, Leonardo failed to get any reaction from Charlie.
Leonardo sat with Charlie for a while before leaving.
The servant stood guard at the door. At the sight of Leonardo, he called respectfully, "Mr. Emerson."
"Grandpa is always in such a state?" Leonardo stopped and asked coldly.
