The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 397

The media swarmed Chris like a pack of hungry wolves, snapping photos of his face.

The blinding lights made it difficult for him to keep his eyes open, but he cooperated politely, making sure they had enough material before he left.

His first stop was the Joplin residence.

Regardless of Grandma's motives for getting him out, it was only right for him to pay a visit. It wasn't like he could just throw away the position of Joplin Group's general manager.

Frankie seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. Before Chris even said anything, Frankie pointed at the inner room. "Mrs. Joplin Senior is waiting inside."

Chris was a bit surprised, but he followed Frankie. Inside, Grandma sat upright with an imposing demeanor. Beside her sat Henry, who looked dejected and sullen, while I sat with a smile on my face.

Cole wondered why I was here.

"Grandma," Chris said.

"Sit." The oppressive air around Grandma made Chris feel like he was being pushed down by a great weight.

He sat down uneasily, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to speak, "Grandma, you got me out this time…"

"The Joplin family doesn't keep people who are useless," Grandma said bluntly. Chris felt his heart stop as he silently waited for her to continue.

"There's a month and a half left until the deadline for your previous promise. Can I still trust you?" she asked.

Grandma was clearly giving him an out.

Chris quickly nodded. "Of course, you can. Don't worry, I'll definitely get the money and save Joplin Group."

Grandma glanced at him disdainfully.

I couldn't help but mock him, "Are you going to sell your sister again?"

Chris got up angrily to retort, but Grandma silenced him with a sharp glare.

"Cole is right. You were at fault this time. In fact, you should be thanking Cole. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't even be out yet," she said.

I waved it off. "Grandma, it's not that serious."
