Chapter 393
“What are you talking about? Make way for Callic? She’s your sister and my niece, for God’s sake. As an uncle, it’s the least I can do to take care of her, right?”
“Niece? From what I can see, I think it’s just a one-sided relationship. You treated her like your niece, but she might not feel the same way about you. Otherwise, why doesn’t she go visit him in the hospital? No “Don’t tell me she’s not free because she’s made several visits to Jeremy in the hospital. If that’s the case, why didn’t she show up to visit you, her own uncle?”
Hearing this, my father was stunned for a moment. “Didn’t she come back just two days ago?”
“This is not true! Isabella said she’s been back for a while!” With a snort, I continued, “Three days ago, I found her having dinner with Aunt Luna. Then the next day I saw her having dinner with Eric. Yesterday, I saw her again in Eric’s company. And tonight, she showed up at my house. It really pisses me off to see that person every other day!”
“You don’t like Callie?” Startled, my father asked, “Why?”
“There’s no reason for me to like someone who doesn’t like me, right?
“She does not like you? Before you got home, she was already asking about you.”
“Daddy, you are an experienced man. Can’t you tell she’s a typical two-faced person?”
“Those are some nasty words.”
“Unpleasant? I’m just stating the fact. Traitors like her are what I despise the most!”
“What did Callie say about you?”
“She told Eric I wet the bed and how the boys wanted me to be their bride when I was young. She even mentioned that I was so chubby I couldn’t even walk on my own. I just don’t understand Why does she like to spread malicious gossip about others?”
“Well, all of that is true. Although I have to admit, bed wetting is pretty embarrassing. My father didn’t care about that. “However, you really should improve your temper. Why did you argue with Eric over such trivial matters? After all, he is the chairman of the Walker Group, so you should have some respect for him.”
“Did Callie tell you about my argument with Eric? She is great!”
“No, it wasn’t Callie, so don’t accuse her,” my mom defended Callic.
“Don’t side with her! She was the only one present during my discussion with Eric. If not her, then who else?” I refuted.
“There’s still Eric, right?” My father looked at me.
“Eric? Eric told you?” Startled, I gaped at my father. I couldn’t believe Eric had deliberately come here and talked to my dad about this.
“Yes. After you left last night, Eric came over and explained the whole incident to us. All he did was ask you to work overtime, so do you really have to rip his head off? That attitude of yours really needs to change. ”
Trembling with rage, I said, “It wasn’t about the overtime!”
“So what is it?” my father questioned.
“He is a shameless and a traitor! He had promised me, but he failed to keep his promise!” Seething with rage. I
started to ramble.
“What did he promise you?”
Chapter 393
Upon hearing my father’s question, I was momentarily speechless. How could I tell my dad about things between Eric and me? All plans would fail if my father knew I was plotting against Jolene. Luckily, I managed to come up with another excuse. “He promised he would let my company take over the project, but he didn’t keep his word! Of course, I would argue with him!”
“That’s why I said that with your temper, you’re bound to lose. When it comes to business, it’s always changing! Other than official signed contracts, a promise is nothing more than a worthless piece of paper. Surely you know that? ” My father gave me a meaningful look.
