Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy
Chapter 1551

Joseph Grant's words were like a bomb that was thrown into a beautiful dream that had been calculated by the Old President. He was instantly thrown into a state of chaos, completely out of control. His face was dark and gloomy, and he could only feel the location of the heart, the pain was unbearable, he immediately grabbed for the medicine with his trembling hands, but his hands were trembling so badly that he did not even have the strength to pinch the cap of the bottle.

"Mr. president." The people who came in were his bodyguards and his trusted aides. Seeing Old President falling down from his chair and curling up on the ground while struggling in pain, he quickly found some medicine and a cup of water. He helped Old President feed him some water.

"I might not be able to attend the afternoon meeting, let Joseph Grant go." Old President gasped for breath, but his face was still deathly pale.

"Mr. President, this is an important meeting. Are you sure you won't be there?" The court official beside him asked with a surprised and even worried expression on his face.

Suddenly, he took his own phone: "My old bones are about to break down, I really don't have the energy to attend this conference, you guys can leave first, I'll make a phone call."

The group of people all had different expressions as they looked at Old President's odd expression, it was unknown if they were worried or afraid. Old President took his phone and looked through the numbers At the bottom of the number list, he saw Duke's name.

"Hello, Uncle." When the call connected, a deep male voice was heard.

"I have a heart problem. The doctor is urging me to have surgery. Can you come back and see me?" Mr. Old President's voice sounded sad and lonely.

"Is it serious?" The man's voice had an extra urgency to it.

"If I don't succeed in the operation, I might directly die on the operation table. We will never have the chance to see each other again in this life. It's good that you're my nephew. If I don't see you again before I die, I will be very moved." Old President's voice was filled with self-mockery and lament.

"Then I'll immediately request a leave of absence to return." After two seconds of silence, the man agreed to return.

"Alright, come back." On Old President's pale face, there was finally a hint of a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Old President leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. He had always liked this little nephew of his, ever since he was young, very close to him, but when he grew up, he was more and more like a stranger, unless it was absolutely necessary for him to return. Unless it was his duty to do so, he would always stand guard outside and wander around like a homeless person.

He did not expect that Old President would actually want to voluntarily forfeit and even mentioned a condition to him. Actually, although the selection for the position of Vice-President was not set yet, there were a lot of capable people, and only a fair competition would show the respect for this position.

It was just like how he had been chosen by the crowd to sit in this position.

"Duke." Joseph Grant muttered this name in a low voice, his eyebrows knitted together, and it was as if the door to his memories was opened by a ray of light. On the ski resort, they had competed against each other because of their gambling atmosphere, and at that time, they were only fourteen or fifteen years old, they were still young, they were not willing to admit defeat, and no one knew what caused this. But in the end, the two of them did not win, one of them had a broken arm, while the other had a bloody nose and face.

There was another time that left a deep impression on him. It was also at that age, on the blue ball field, that he took his sister Wendy Grant to play football, and Duke sat to the side to watch over the fracture of her arm. Since he didn't have the chance to go on stage, Joseph Grant gave him his sister, who was only six or seven years old, to look after.

After the blue ball ended, Duke's handsome hairstyle had already been cut by Wendy Grant dozens of times, and it became the funniest thing to laugh about on that day.

Afterwards, every time he came out, his sister would clamour that she wanted to follow him out, and even said that she would continue to tie Duke's hair, scaring him into hiding for a long time. Until the end, he didn't want to bother with that mischievous little girl anymore.

However, after Duke's father passed away, these beautiful memories would become hard to replace. It was as if he had become a different person, and no longer played around. He studied wholeheartedly, and it was as if he had grown up overnight.

Joseph Grant sighed. After so many years had passed, they would no longer be able to see each other again as if they had been free and unrestrained back then. It was as if there was an invisible wall between them that blocked their friendship.

Joseph Grant shook his head, he did not want to further investigate this matter. He would never agree to Old President's conditions, it was unfair and illegal.

As night fell, Penelope drove the car to the place mentioned by the Rain. It was actually an old street, and it was difficult even to replace a parking spot next to it. Penelope finally found a spot, but he was pushed into it by another car.

Seeing that, Penelope was immediately angered, she was clearly backing his car up and entering the warehouse, why was there still someone who could impolitely come over to snatch his seat? Therefore, she immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car, wanting to replace the other party to argue with her.

The two people who walked out of the carriage were two men and two women, both of them quite young. Penelope asked angrily: "I saw this parking space first, you guys can't be so unreasonable."

"Auntie, what do you mean? You saw it right first, but let's stop here. Who told you to be so unskilled?" A girl beside him raised her chin arrogantly as she mocked him.

Penelope was speechless. Indeed, her driving skills were not good enough so he could not get into the car in time, but that was not the reason why they were fighting for the car.

"Auntie, you're not young anymore, what are you letting us do? We're in a hurry. "A young boy who was smoking said as he blew smoke at Penelope. Sorry, it's not my fault that your family didn't educate you well. This seat is mine, you should look for another place. "Penelope was not an unreasonable person to begin with, but he did not expect the other party to be so rude, he did not want to give up to them. "Then what do you want? If you have the guts to hit our car and knock it away, then we have nothing to say. "The young man shrugged, looking as if you couldn't do anything to me. Penelope was immediately furious, this group of little bastards, was they trying to pick on her?

Just as one of the girls reached out to push Penelope away angrily, she was caught by a big hand and flung off. She staggered and almost fell down.

"What are you doing?" The young people immediately straightened their necks and looked at the nosy middle-aged man with their eyes. "You want to fight, right? We are not afraid. "

Penelope was also angry and helpless, he never thought that there would be someone to help her, she was just about to thank him, but when he saw that Rain had appeared in time, the grievances in her hear were immediately comforted.

"What's going on?" Rain had also just arrived, he did not know the situation, and upon seeing Penelope arguing with a few young men, which caused him to blush, he frowned.

Penelope immediately told his what had happened.

"Old woman, we just stole your car, what's the matter? You two are old enough to be our parents, so what can you do about it?" The girl beside him, who had been shaken off by Rain, angrily shouted. "Move your car and give it back to her." Originally, he wanted Penelope to stop at the car park to the side. Hearing the girl's arrogant words, Rain's face instantly changed, and he said to them in a gloomy voice.

"I won't move, what did you do to me?" The two young men immediately became overbearing and stared at Rain. They took a step forward as if they wanted to fight with him.

Penelope had originally wanted to fight with them, but when he suddenly saw the Rain being dragged in, she immediately pulled on his sleeves and said softly: "Forget it, I'll look for another spot to park and give it to them."

"No." Rain did not budge an inch as he stared coldly at the two men. Suddenly, he lifted one of them up, like a little chicken, effortlessly. He might even throw the other party several meters away.

"Ah, let me down. Do you want to kill someone? Let me go." The man was so scared that his face turned green and he started to scream.

"We can't move the car." Rain asked him calmly.

"Move, move the car." The man was incoherent and nearly peed his pants.

Rain's aura changed, giving people the feeling that he was not someone to be trifled with, these youngsters could only brazenly say what was on their minds, acting tough, but if they really were to meet face to face, they would be more afraid than anyone else.

When the rest saw the dark expression on Rain's face, they were extremely frightened. They quickly got on the car and the car quickly escaped.

"Stop the car, I'll look after it for you." Rain said to Penelope calmly.

Penelope simply could not believe that this matter could be resolved so easily.

Before, she had always believed that there was reason to travel the world. But now, she also believed that having a fist could solve everything.

Penelope parked the car, and when she got out, she want to laugh, but when she saw that the Rain's expression did not change, it was not good for her to laugh out loud. After all, he was fighting for his.

Rain was also a bit embarrassed. After he walked a few steps in silence, he lightly coughed, as if he was trying to explain something. "It's not that violent."

Penelope was startled, but he was no longer able to hold back from smiling. He nodded and said, "I know, they are the ones who are unreasonable." Rain thought he had scared her, but when he heard her laugh, he rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly and laughed dryly.

"Thank you for helping me. If it wasn't for you, I would probably have swallowed my anger." Although Penelope was an executive in the office, she would not abuse her power. If he could not handle the matter from a moment ago, she could only take a step back.

"It's nothing." Rain did not dare take credit.
