Inside his office, Grayson was yelled at over the phone.
“Grayson, is this what you mean by an improvement? He even dared to say such brazen words to the White family. Tell me, which part of him has improved?”
The furious voice over the phone almost blew Grayson’s eardrums out.
This old man is really…
All Grayson could do was to move the phone further from his ear. By the time the bellowing had stopped, he continued, “Old Mr. Jadeson, please calm down and let me explain.”
“Are you trying to b*llshit me?”
“I’m not. But, I still need to inform you about the details of what happened. Yes, your grandson did say all those things to Mrs. White. However, it wasn’t his fault. Her son suddenly decided to take your grandson’s doctor away from him,” Grayson explained patiently.
He had no other way to pacify Jonathan as it was just too much of a mess. No one expected Alfred’s wife to appear out of nowhere; to make things worse, her son wanted to take Sebastian’s doctor away with no good reason.
Therefore, his best excuse was to blame both the mother and her son.
Just as he expected, the voice over the phone sounded less agitated.
“Why did he want to snatch Sebastian’s doctor?”
“How would I know? When her son was warded, he was diagnosed with end-stage lung cancer. Hence, surgery was no longer an option. However, my assistant happens to know TCM. So, I sent her over to treat him and that was all. I figured that he must be interested in her unique skill. That’s why he wants to take her to Anglandur with him,” Grayson analyzed.
Just as he finished, Jonathan roared again. “What’s wrong with you? Despite knowing that the doctor is responsible for my grandson, why did you send her over to treat Alfred’s son?”
“Yes, that’s where I messed up.”
Grayson admitted to his mistake without any protest.
Jonathan was speechless.
Despite feeling infuriated, his rage had mellowed compared to the time he had just called.
“All right, I understand what has happened. I’ll talk to Alfred. At the end of the day, there’s something wrong with that b*stard still. Do you understand why he said what he said?”
“What do you mean?”
“He wants to sow discord between me and Alfred so that Alfred will be displeased with us. From there, he plans to destroy the Jadesons!” Jonathan explained bluntly.
Grayson was stunned.
