Chapter 889
Jeremiah, who had been lacking confidence, was suddenly filled with it after hearing her words.
His mother was right.
In the Capital, so many companies wanted to work with the Gonzales family, yet they had specifically chosen the Somersets.
Among all the competitors, the Somerset family wasn’t particularly outstanding, but Stuart had still chosen to partner with them.
That was enough to show how much Stuart approved of him!
Perhaps Stuart had already decided on him as a son-in-law but was just too reserved to bring it up himself.
With that, Old Mrs. Somerset looked at Jeremiah. “So, all we have to do now is wait at home for Stuart to come to us p>
Jeremiah nodded. “You’re right, Mom p>
Old Mrs. Somerset added another instruction, “When Stuart comes to apologize, don’t you dare give him an easy time! That old Gonzales witch had the audacity to have me thrown out today. I’m going to make Stuart squirm p>
The thought of being ejected from the Gonzales Manor made Old Mrs. Somerset’s blood boil. She had never been so insulted.
Keira was going to pay for this!
Just then, Dragon walked in from outside.
Seeing her grandson, half of Old Mrs. Somerset’s anger vanished. She smiled and beckoned him over, her expression turning warm and affectionate. “Dragon, come here p>
“Hmph!” Instead of running to her as he usually did, Dragon shot her a disgruntled snort.
It was as if the person standing before him wasn’t his grandmother, but his enemy.
“What’s all this about? Who’s upset our little prince?” Old Mrs. Somerset walked over and took Dragon’s hand. “Tell Grandma who made our little master angry, and I’ll get revenge for you p>
“It was you!” Dragon shoved her hard. At eleven, he was already quite strong, and Old Mrs. Somerset, caught off guard, stumbled and fell to the floor, her tailbone aching from the impact.
But she wasn’t angry in the slightest. She just kept smiling. “How did Grandma upset you, Dragon? Tell me, don’t bottle it up p>
Dragon stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at her. “Tell me, are you trying to find a new wife for my dad? I’m telling you, I won’t allow it! I don’t want a stepmom! And I don’t want a new little brother or sister. If you get me a stepmom, I’ll kill myself! I’ll make sure the Somerset family has no heir p>
Dragon had always been the center of attention, coddled and spoiled. He couldn’t tolerate the idea of having a stepmother, let alone a stepmother who might give birth to a sibling to compete with him for the family fortune.
Everything the Somerset family owned had to be his and his alone. No one else was allowed to touch it.
Old Mrs. Somerset sighed in relief. “Is that what you’re so angry about? Don’t worry, Dragon. Grandma promises you, even if I find a stepmom for you, I won’t let her have any children p>
“You will always be Grandma’s precious grandson p>
“Really?” A flicker of suspicion crossed Dragon’s face.
“Of course, it’s true. Grandma can swear on it.” Old Mrs. Somerset raised three
fingers and began to make a solemn oath.
Only then did Dragon smile. “Grandma, you have to keep your word p>
“Silly boy, when have I ever broken a promise to you?” She hugged him tightly. “My precious grandson! You are the direct heir of the Somerset
family. Of course I have to protect your interests. How could I let
anyone else take what’s yours? Rest assured, as long as im Fm breathing
you will always be the heir to the Somerset family p>
Dragon was appeased by her words.
“Mr. Somerset! Mr. Somerset, something terrible has happened p>
Jeremiah’s secretary, Leonie, rushed in from the doorway.
“What is it?” Jeremiah turned to look at her.
Leonie was panting heavily. “Gon… Gonzales Holdings… they p>
“Did Stuart go to the company to find Jeremiah?” Old Mrs. Somerset asked immediately.
What else could it be at a time like this? He was obviously coming to apologize.
