Chapter 338: 338: The Photo Torn by a Knife
Seeing the old man coming, Bella Thompson ignited hope again, her eyes shimmering with a hint of tears.
“Dad, thank you for seeing Matthew, he’s much better now.”
“You’re making it sound like I would ignore my own grandson.”
The old man was unhappy, and instantly, Bella apologized, “Dad, I didn’t mean it like that, Matthew has been missing you too.”
“I want to eat wontons from the hundred-year-old restaurant, go and get two bowls to take away, Matthew and I will eat them later.”
Bella nods her head and goes to buy them immediately.
Bella was also hoping the old man would change his mind, allowing her to return to the Marshall Family. So, Bella cherished this opportunity to express her attentive dedication.
The bodyguards were waiting at the door, and inside the sickroom were only the old man and Matthew. The old man got straight to the point.
“Matthew, you’re still young, you have many opportunities in the future. Your capability is also lacking, you should learn more. When you recover from your illness, I’ll arrange for you to study abroad for a few years.”
Was his grandfather giving up on him?
What if he went abroad, what about his mother?
His grandfather must be intentionally pushing him away, wanting Daniel to inherit everything of the Marshall Family, not wanting him to compete with Daniel?
No matter how hard he worked, no matter what he did, his grandfather was still biased!
A surge of rage began to bubble up in Matthew’s chest, his face slightly changing, but he forced himself to stay calm, acted as if nothing was wrong, his lips curved slightly upwards, looking at his granddad.
“There are plenty of learning opportunities in our country, granddad, I don’t need to go abroad. I want to stay here and spend more time with you all, I truly cherish the happy times spent with my family.”
The old man’s deep-set eyes revealed a hint of stern sharpness, “You don’t want to go abroad? You want to stay and fight over Marshall Corporation?”
Matthew did not avoid his grandfather’s probing, but protested, “No, that’s not
The old man’s brow furrowed slightly, his heart twisted a bit.
This boy has grown up, but he’s also better at hiding his ambitions, he has this evil aura about him.
This was not a good sign, it was unfavorable for the Marshall Family.
“Matthew, have you forgotten what you once told me? There is a loss to every gain, the world is fair, thus, whatever you lack, never force it. Otherwise, you’d only hurt yourself all over. Don’t expect your father to cover for you for the rest of your life, if you recklessly waste my trust in you, the consequences will be dire. Think about it carefully.”
Matthew was seething with unhappiness, underneath the quilt, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, uncontrollably shaking.
“Granddad, if I go abroad, will you let my mom return to Beverly Hills?”
“No! Studying abroad is your best choice. After a few years, you will have a different state of mind, your thoughts will change. You can go abroad with your mother. Your quality of life won’t change abroad, there are still mansions for you to live in, there are servants and bodyguards, everything you need.” Matthew and his grandfather locked gazes in silence.
Matthew could see, his grandfather was determined to send him away. His granddad’s eyes radiated an irresistible authority.
The old man left some leeway, leaving a small opening for Matthew, “The doctor said, you’ll be discharged in two days, think carefully these two days.
Once you’ve made up your mind, you can tell me at any time.”
Matthew lips moved slightly, but he still did not express his stance.
After handling her affairs, Olivia Jenkins was unwrapping parcels.
This last parcel was very light, Olivia glanced at the address, but it didn’t ring a bell.
Inside the parcel were all photos of Olivia, all slashed with a knife..
