Chapter 180 What Does It Have to Do With Me?
On the other end of the line, Eddie did not expect Hans and Hellen to be together. He said provocatively. “I overthink, but you can’t think it at all. The Thomas Family has not forgotten what you have done.”
Afraid that the two of them would quarrel, Hellen frowned. “Give the phone to my brother!”
After a while, Everet’s voice came from the phone. “Darcy is here too. Come back earlier!”
Hellen now understands why Everet called her. He was looking for reinforcement.
Everet loved Darcy and had to avoid her.
He wanted Hellen back as a shield.
Hans looked at Hellen, who was standing aside. Hellen’s gaze was evasive.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll be home in a moment.” Hellen agreed, then hung up the phone, feeling slightly helpless.
It had been three or four days since granny’s birthday party, and the birthday guests should have left by now, but Eddie and Darcy had not left Hail City.
Hellen knew how much Darcy loved her big brother. After being entangled with him for so long, Darcy wouldn’t let him go so quickly.
However, if Everet continued to hide like this when Darcy gave up, she would never be able to be with Everet again.
This was what Hellen feared the most.
As the car drove steadily, Hans looked at Hellen and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Hellen sighed. “Nothing. I thought of some family matters.”
Hans pursed his lips. He had heard what Everet had said earlier.
In the past two years, the news had also spread in Tempe City that Everet, from the Jovano Group, had a relationship with the young lady of the Lewis Group.
“Is it about your brother and Darcy?” Hans asked.
Hellen was a little surprised, “You even know about this?!”
Hans smiled faintly. In the dim car, his voice was calm. “There was news from Tempe City before, and the Grant family and the Jovano Group have always been competitors. I usually know about the news of the Jovano family.”
Hellen chuckled and nodded. She looked out the window and said, “It is normal that you know it.”
The car was passing by a business district.
“Look at that building,” Hans suddenly said.
Hellen followed Hans’s gaze and looked over. She saw one of the particularly eye-catching commercial buildings in the forest not far away.
The floor was extremely high, and the entire building seemed to pierce straight into the ink-colored sky as it looked down at the whole Hail City.
“This building is great. It’s been three years since I returned to Hail City. I’ve heard that there is one tall building, E-moon Building.” Hellen laughed. “I wonder which group built it? It really is quite the spendthrift.”
Hans smiled faintly and said, “The William Group built it.”
Hellen was stunned. There weren’t many people who could build such tall buildings in Hail City.
Hans looked at Hellen. “I don’t know what your brother is thinking, but if he loves Darcy, he’d better catch her as soon as possible.”
Hellen frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Xeno’s grandparents and his parents are delighted with Darcy and want to engage in a business marriage with the Lewis family.”
Hans said, “The William family has already taken a liking to her.”
Hellen couldn’t help but laugh. “The William family has taken a fancy to her. How can they force Darcy to marry him?”
“Why do you think Xeno chose to run away from home and hide in Tempe City instead?”
Hellen was silent for a moment. “The Lewis group is also a large corporation in Tempe City. They aren’t much different from the William family. If the Lewis family disagrees, then the William family won’t be able to do anything.”
Hans smiled helplessly.
“Recently, the William family has a lot of resources in their hands. In Hail City, only the Thomas Family can be on equal footing with the William family, and the Lewis family is marching into Hail City. Suppose the William family does not want the Lewis family to stay in Hail City. In that case, the early preparations for the Lewis family’s march into Hail City will be in vain.”
Hellen’s face grew solemn.
Hellen had heard some news from Darcy. The Lewis Group was very concerned about the branch company that had just been established in Hail City.
Because of the considerable investment
Moreover, the parents of the Lewis family were satisfied with Xeno.
The parents of the two families were satisfied. Only Xeno and Darcy disagreed.
Hellen thought for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh. “I understand. Thank you for your reminder.”
The car drove back to the Thomas Villa and stopped at the main entrance.
Hellen alighted from his carriage. “You should go home early as well.”
After saying that, Hellen looked at Hans and said, “I mean, you should go back to Tempe City. You can’t leave the United Department of the Weststadt District too long.”
Hans said, “I’ll go back tomorrow.”
After watching Hellen enter the Thomas Family, David looked at Hans and said, “Mr. Grant.”
“Let’s go back.” Sitting in the car, Hans took out his mobile phone and called Xeno.
“You still know how to call me!” Xeno’s voice was filled with grief and resentment. “I’m now trapped at home and unable to come out, all for the sake of attending the Thomas Family’s birthday feast. You caused me so much trouble just to see Hellen!”
Hans’s voice was indifferent, and his eyes were filled with offish. “Xeno, I need your help.”
“Are you trying to trick me again?!” Xeno cried out.
“If you do it well, I’ll ask your family to agree and let you go back to Tempe City with me tomorrow.”
“What is it?” Xeno asked excitedly.
“Make some trouble for the Levi Group and ask Eddie to leave Hail City tomorrow,” Hans said grimly.
The man on the other end was silent for a few seconds. Then, he said, “All right, I will deal with it.”
After Hellen entered the Thomas Villa, she saw Violeta smiling helplessly in the living room.
Eddie, Darcy, Karlen, and Karim sat at the table playing poker.
Hellen came forward and said, “Violeta, go back and have a rest first.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m not tired. They play “Truth or Dare”. Darcy took the risk and drank half a bottle of white wine. I’m worried.”
Darcy was full of pride, and her small face was flushed. It was evident that she was drunk.
“A pair of two!”
Karim yawned, took out three cards, and threw them on the table. “Explosion cards.”
Darcy stared at them for a while. “Is there one missing?”
Karim found another one in the pile of cards. “Here it is.”
Darcy nodded. “Okay, you play.”
Hellen held her forehead. It was obvious that Darcy and Karlen were happy, especially when Darcy had drunk too much.
Karim and Eddie were simply toying with them.
Hellen turned to look at the sofa not far from the table. Everet’s face was darkened!
Darcy had lost.
Karlen pondered for a moment and said, “Truth or Dare? Or drinking?”
Darcy said, “I can’t drink anymore. I choose Truth.”
Everet scoffed. “You know how to cherish your life!”
Hellen walked to Everet helplessly. “Everet, you care so much about her; why didn’t you go stop her from drinking?”
Everet pursed his lips. “What does she have to do with me?”
Fine, Everet was proud.
Hellen just sat down to one side. “Then I won’t interfere.”
“She’s your friend!” Everet thundered.
Hellen raised an eyebrow, “She’s also your ex-girlfriend.”
Karlen thought for a moment and said, “Darcy, have you ever had a boyfriend?”
Eddie was stunned, as were Everet and Hellen.
