Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 390

In the room, Wendy grabbed Patriarch Gale’s sleeve and looked aggrieved.

“Grandpa, you saw it. The aunts don’t like me at all. They look down on me.”

“How could that be? We are a family. No one will look down on you.”

Patriarch Gale patted her hand gently. Every time he saw the wound on her arm, he felt sorry for her.

Wendy had only been back for a month. But several accidents had happened to her in such a short period of time.

Could it be that someone in this family really wanted to harm her?

“Wendy, what exactly happened today?”

He only heard that she was almost hit by a car.

Neither Patriarch Gale nor Milo knew the details of the accident.

“I don’t know what exactly happened. I was walking on the street with Mom and Aunt Kate when a car behind us suddenly came rushing at me.”

“Yes, Patriarch Gale. Thank god that Wendy noticed the car. Otherwise she might have been…”

Kate’s face was filled with fear, as if she did not dare to recall the accident.

“Did you see who was in the car?” Patriarch Gale immediately asked.

Wendy shook her head and murmured, “I was scared to death. There was no time for me to take notice of the driver.”

“That’s right, Patriarch Gale. Wendy almost died there.”

Kate hurriedly said, “It's a terrible thing to recall. How could one bear it?”

Tears oozed out at the corners of her eyes when Wendy heard this.

“Grandpa, do you not believe me? But I … I am your granddaughter!”

“Of course I believe you!” Patriarch Gale hurriedly explained, “I just want to know exactly what happened.”

“Also, where did this happen? I will send someone to investigate it. We will definitely find out who is behind this.”

“We shouldn’t!” Wendy immediately grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously, “Grandpa, if … if you find out that it was really someone in this family who did this, then how could we live together under the same roof?”

“But … truth could dispel your doubts. If it’s not someone from this family, wouldn’t that be better?”

Now, she was worried that an investigation would hurt everyone’s feeling.

Wasn’t she worried that she would hurt people’s feelings when she accused someone in this family of hurting her?

What she said was more straightforward and offensive.

“Grandpa, please don’t. I’m really scared!”

Wendy glanced at Kate, who secretly gave her a hint.

Wendy grabbed her grandpa’s sleeve again and softened her tone.

“Actually, Grandpa, I know that everyone looks down on me because I didn’t grow up in this family.”

“Not to mention that everyone in this family is a big shot with high status, while I am nothing.”

“You are Harley’s daughter and my only biological granddaughter. You are not nothing.”

Patriarch Gale’ heart ached, especially when he thought of his son who had passed away.

“Each one of them holds shares of the Gale family. But I don’t have anything in my hands.”

Wendy bit her lips and her eyes were filled with tears.

“Even though I am my father’s daughter, who in this family is willing to admit my status?”

Patriarch Gale looked at her quietly.

Kate was a bit anxious and gave Wendy another hint.

Wendy might have appeared a bit anxious. Kate wondered if it would strike Patriarch Gale as inappropriate.

Right now, they were facing the Master of the Gale family.

Patriarch Gale had already stepped down from the business now. But he was a big shot back then. There was no doubt about that.

Although he looked amiable now, they should still be careful.

Legends like him had all fought their way to their positions. They had been through a lot.
