Chapter 224 The Dispute Between the Levi Family
Eddie’s lackadaisical and sloppy behavior enraged Mr. Levi.
He hurriedly crossed the sofa and pointed at Eddie’s face.
“I don’t care what nonsense you are spouting, but you can’t marry Hellen!”
“Why do you hate Hellen so much?” Eddie’s face turned cold. “I’m telling you that I like her and I intend to marry her. If she agrees to marry me, no one can control me!”
“If you marry her, the Levi Family will lose face!” Mr. Levi roared. “Now everyone in Tempe City knows that she was Hans” woman. What’s your business?”
“So you’re afraid of Hans?”
“It’s not a matter of who I’m afraid of! She’s pregnant with Hans” child. Why did you marry her? To raise his child?”
Hans” child?
Eddie’s pupils shrank. How did they know that?
“Who said she’s pregnant with Hans” child?”
Mr. Levi was furious. “When you were in Jena City the last time, they announced it publicly in Duke Wilson’s office!”
Eddie’s expression suddenly changed!NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Hans announced it?”
“Yeah, everyone heard it. Everyone in Tempe City knows that Hans and Hellen will remarry sooner or later!”
Off to the side, Mrs. Levi said, “I will never accept such a woman into the Levi family. I advise you not to do anything that will make your father and me angry. If Hellen and Hans reconcile, we will both offend the two families!”
Eddie’s face darkened. “Since I made you so angry, you shouldn’t have handed over the Levi Group to me!”
Mr. Levi slammed the table anxiously. “Do you think we really want to hand over the Levi Group to you? If your brother hadn’t passed away…”
At this point, Mr. and Mrs. Levi looked sad at the same time.
Eddie looked at their sad expressions and fixed his eyes on a photo frame not far away.
In the photo, Mrs. Levi was sitting on an exquisite high-back chair in a court dress.
Mr. Levi stood behind Mrs. Levi.
Eddie’s younger brother, who had died many years ago, stood in front of them.
Mrs. Levi had once said that this was the most beautiful family picture, but Eddie was not in it.
Eddie’s expression froze. “If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have returned.”
Mr. Levi roared, “If you don’t want to come back, then don”t. Who do you think you are? You have grown up and forgotten us!”
When Eddie heard these things when he was young, his heart ached, but now he felt that it was noisy.
He covered his ears with one hand and pretended to dig it.
“Then I’ll leave first.”
Mr. Levi roared behind him. “Don’t come back! Also, if you dare to find Hellen again, I won’t just talk to you!”
Eddie was in a bad mood as he drove out of the house.
At this moment, he thought that only one person could make him feel better.
Eddie called Hellen.
“Hellen, where are you?”
“I just arrived home. What’s the matter?”
“I’ll go to your house.”
After a few seconds of silence, Hellen said alertly.
“Eddie, what are you planning now?”
Eddie’s hand that was holding his phone stiffened.
His eyes dimmed, but his laughter became lighter. “I miss you.”
Hellen chuckled, “Alright, say those words to your female friends.”
Eddie hung up the phone and parked the car on the streets of Tempe City.
He rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.
As night fell, the pedestrians on the road became hurried, and everyone had their own home.
Eddie leaned against the back of the chair and lazily looked at the lights of the houses in the distance.
How nice it would be if there was a future through the window that resembled the future between him and Hellen.
…
A few days later, on the weekend.
Hellen called Luz.
“Luz, before the live broadcast today, send a notice saying that this is the last live broadcast of this year.”
Hellen is sitting on the sofa, holding a candy.
Luz answered worriedly, “Hellen, are you feeling well?”
Hellen laughed. “Yes. In half a month, Everet will be engaged. I’ll probably be busy soon.”
“Alright, I’ll be there earlier today,” Luz said.
Hellen hung up the phone and looked at the table full of desserts and candies.
She tasted a few of them one by one and said to Joanna, “This fruit juice flavored sugar is too sweet as well as this chocolate. Don’t put sugar in the gift, okay?”
Joanna frowned and said, “The sugar must be added. This is the custom in Tempe City.”
Hellen shrugged. “Then have a taste. I’ve tasted more than ten types of them.”
Joanna smiled gently. “I’m afraid that I’ll get fat if I eat too much candy.”
Hellen was gently licking the sticky candy stuck to her finger when she heard this and her eyes immediately widened in grief and indignation.
“So do I!”
“You can slowly lose weight after giving birth. It’s good to eat more now,” Joanna said with a smile.
Hellen angrily tasted seven or eight types of candy.
After picking out the gift, Hellen lay on the sofa and sent a message to Darcy.
Hellen texted, “For your wedding gift, I am nearly bored of the sweet. Will you compensate me?”
Darcy quickly replied, “Hellen, I’m choosing the engagement clothes, can you pick one for me?”
Before Hellen could reply, Darcy sent her more than a dozen pictures on WhatsApp.
She gritted her teeth.
The whole world seemed to be immersed in happiness. Recently, even Everet had been very busy. He swore that he would finish all the affairs of the Jovano Group in advance, so as not to delay his engagement.
After helping Darcy pick out her dress, Hellen was filled with resentment.
Her phone rang again and Hellen picked it up angrily.
“Tell me, what do you want to ask again?”
After a few seconds of silence, a low chuckle sounded from the other end.
Hellen stroked the back of the sofa, slowly sat up straight, and looked at the caller ID on her phone.
Hans was stunned.
Hellen asked in a low voice, “Hans, is everything fine in the Weststadt District?”
“No, I should care about the baby as the baby’s father”
Hellen’s face turned red, and her voice turned fierce.
“You’re just in the name!”
Hans was silent for a few seconds again.
“As the baby’s father in name, let me care about the baby.”
Hellen lost his spirit. She knew that she couldn’t argue.
She decided to give up and leaned back on the sofa lazily. “The baby is fine, but the baby may have eaten too much candy recently.”
Hans chuckled.
Hans” smile flashed across Hellen’s mind. She patted her face gently, shook her head, and shook the scene out of her mind.
“What about the United Department?” Hellen asked about the official business.
“Not bad. But Mr. Thompson was not very pleased. He said that after he decided to settle down in Tempe City, you became lazy.”
Hellen said rather guiltily, “Recently, I have had to prepare the wedding stuff. I’ve been a bit busy.”
Hans said in agreement.
An ancient voice rang out from the other end, “Was it Hellen calling?”
It was Granny Grant.
