Chapter 310

Chapter 310:
“It’s a shame…” Napier shook his head.
Charles frowned. “Why would that be a bad thing? Isn’t loyalty a good thing?”
Napier gave Charles a long, deep look without responding.
“I see one of your better traits now,” Napier said, changing the subject.
“Sincerity.”
Charles blinked. Was that a compliment, or a way of calling him naive? Charles had always been the blunt type, quick to speak and even quicker to lose his temper.
But lately, he’d started learning to be more cunning.
The thought made him grin in satisfaction.
“Tomorrow morning at seven, the investor reps will be arriving. Figure out how you’re going to manage things before then,” Napier said before turning to head to his room.
“Wait, Grandpa. So, did I pass your test or not?” Charles called after him.
Napier didn’t reply. But if he hadn’t passed… would they still be having this conversation?
Millie woke up just in time.
Her head felt heavy from lack of sleep, but she dragged herself to the bathroom and washed up.
After getting dressed in a hurry, she poured herself a cup of coffee and then headed out to pick Ari up from the Children’s Home. While waiting at a red light, Millie glanced down at her phone.
It was already 7:30 a.m. She opened the group chat and scrolled through the messages.
The others were probably still asleep. The last message came from Charles from the night before: “Handled my grandpa.”
Stay tuned
She wondered if that 7 a.m. meeting he mentioned was still in progress. He had relayed his conversation with his grandfather the previous night.
Millie realized that setting the meeting for 7 in the morning was probably Napier’s way of giving Charles a chance to figure things out overnight.
It was also a way to deliver results just before the investors officially started their day.
As she pondered this, a new message from Charles popped up. “Sorted.” She hadn’t even typed a reply when another followed. “But… I didn’t get to use that reason we prepared.”
Millie’s brow furrowed. What was going on?
She sent Charles a message, asking if they could talk on the phone.
He called her instantly.
Millie put in her Bluetooth earbuds before accepting the call.
“Charles, what’s going on?” she asked, genuinely confused. This content belongs to ⓝovelFind.net
Had the investors rejected their plan? Did Charles have to come up with something else to convince them?
What could he have said?
