Chapter 400: 400: A Elaborately Designed Scam

Baron Stuart coaxed her, “Sweetheart, eat all of this.”

Emily glanced at him, ignored him, and looked at some black dressed men at the front door instead.

Frowning, she looked at Baron Stuart, “Who are these people?”

Baron Stuart’s expression stiffened, and his line of sight lowered, “These days, you just stay quietly at home, and I’ll be back when I’m done with my work.”

He now only had time for breakfast, and in order not to let her feel sad and helpless like this anymore, he decided to tell her the reasons behind some things.

Once grandpa’s condition improves, he will no longer be threatened by anything.

“My father passed away a long time ago, and I was brought up by grandpa single-handedly. He is the person I respect the most. So, you just stay well-behaved at home, and in less than a week, he will be discharged from the hospital.”

Baron Stuart explained carefully, hoping she could understand his inner helplessness.

It was only then that Emily knew the reason why he hadn’t come back these days and hadn’t called her was because of his grandpa’s coercion.

This also explained one thing: Zachary Stuart was extremely opposed to him being with her. If this was the case, would there be a second time after the first?

“But your grandpa doesn’t like me, even if you insist—”

“He will like you.” Before she could finish, Baron Stuart interrupted her, his expression very calm.

Emily looked puzzled and stared at him in a daze, not knowing where his confident tone came from.

Why did he say that his grandpa would like her?

“Alright, finish all these and I’ll have to go to the company soon, okay?” Baron Stuart continued to coax gently.

Emily looked at him, and then at the breakfast Mrs. Noelle prepared on the dining table, and nodded, “Okay.”

After breakfast, Baron Stuart left.

Knowing the truth, Emily’s mood brightened up as well.

In less than a week, Baron Stuart would return.

These days, Baron Stuart was completely at ease, dividing his time between the company and the hospital, doing everything as Zachary Stuart wanted.

Today, after dealing with the company’s affairs and preparing to return to Stuart Manor, he decided to make a temporary visit to the hospital.

Previously, he had asked the director that grandpa’s condition would only take a week to be discharged, but now it had been a week, and the hospital informed him that it would take another week?

This made him feel a bit puzzled and confused.

Usually, Baron Stuart would go straight to Stuart Manor after work, occasionally visiting the hospital to inquire about Zachary Stuart’s condition after dinner.

At the hospital, Baron Stuart went straight to the director’s office, but no one was there.

Reaching the entrance of Zachary Stuart’s hospital room, he paused just before pushing the door open as the voices of the director and Zachary Stuart came from inside.

“Old Master Stuart, what exactly are you doing this for?” Inside the hospital room, the director adjusted the electrocardiogram machine while asking in confusion.

He really didn’t understand; Old Master Stuart had only been feeling a little chest tightness before and nothing serious. He didn’t know why he suddenly asked him to tamper with the electrocardiogram equipment and keep the real condition a secret from anyone, especially Mr. Stuart.

No one knew how spirited Zachary Stuart was at this moment.

However, the mention of this matter darkened his expression.

“What else can it be, but for our Stuart family?” Zachary Stuart sighed.

With the large family and business of the Stuarts, many women were scheming to become the young mistress of the Stuart family.
