After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 979 The Father's Invitation

Norma's grandfather Williams Lampson, who heads the Lampson family, is in good health despite being 78 years old.

At the age of 70, he announced his retirement. He almost no longer held important positions in major companies under the name of the Lampson family, but he still firmly controlled the Lampson family office, and this office really controlled the various companies under the name of the Lampson family. big asset.

Therefore, Williams Lampson is actually retiring and is still the owner of their Lampson family empire.

On the surface, Williams is a very kind and kind old man, and he has always shown the image of a honest elder to the outside world, and he is kind to everyone.

But in fact, Williams is a very serious and even stern person within the family, especially his valued family descendants, his attitude is even more stern.

Norma, as his most admired granddaughter, has always played a relatively important role in their family, so Williams' requirements for her are much stricter than those of Molly's descendants.

Norma has grown up step by step under the strict control and teaching of the old man these years.

She had an instinctive awe of the old man, so when she saw that it was his call, she immediately answered it reflexively, without daring to delay at all.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Norma subconsciously sat up straight and asked the question directly.The old man doesn't like nonsense and polite words, especially when he's on the phone.

"What happened to your assistant?" The old man also asked directly.

When Norma heard that he was asking about this, her heart was a little heavy, but at the same time she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The news I got now is that he was jealous of others, and after angering them, he was killed by the other party by mistake. It was an accident."

Talking to the old man, she didn't hide anything, she told everything she knew, even if it was impolite to the deceased Hans, but the fact is the fact, she dared not hide it from the old man.

Besides, the old man called to ask Hans directly, presumably he already knew how Hans died, and he just wanted to confirm it from her.

"The next time I choose an assistant, I want to find someone who has a family and children, and has a clean private life." The old man said with some dissatisfaction.

Hans, as his granddaughter's assistant, died because of such a scandal, especially since he was still gay. This news report will definitely make many people see the jokes of their Lampson family.

Fortunately, the Lampson family is also a major financial backer in the media, so the news of Hans' accidental death can still be suppressed, and it will not be widely reported, let alone in-depth reports.

The old man is a very conservative old-fashioned person, especially on the issue of homosexuality, the old man has always been very contemptuous or even disgusted.

Therefore, after knowing that Hans was gay a few years ago, the old man was not very satisfied with Hans being Norma's assistant.

It’s just that Hans had been with Norma for several years at that time, and Norma was quite easy to use, of course it was not easy to replace, and on this point, the old man didn’t directly order her to change at that time, so Hans continued like this. Followed her until now when an accident happened.

"Yes, Grandpa, I remember."

Norma agreed immediately.If she chooses an assistant again, she will indeed choose according to what the old man said.

Williams then asked again: "What are you going to do in Los Angeles this time? When will you come back to New York?"

After Norma hesitated for a while, she didn't choose to tell the truth. After all, the Bald Eagle Medal was not available for the time being, so if she told the old man, her credit would not be much.

Only when she got the Bald Eagle Medal and sent it to the old man, would she be the most credited.

"Come over here to meet some friends, and I'll go back in the afternoon. After all, tomorrow is your birthday, so I have to go back and celebrate your birthday with you."

Hearing what Norma said, the old man's tone finally softened: "I'm not interested in celebrating my birthday now. One more birthday means I'm one year older and one step closer to the grave."

"Grandpa, don't say that. Your health is very good, and it is possible to live another 50 years."

"Okay, I'm almost 80 years old. How can I live for 50 years? If I can live for another ten years, it's God's blessing."

"Don't worry, isn't our company developing longevity medicine? I think there should be results in two or three years."

"I hope so. Well, that's it for now."

"Okay, Grandpa, goodbye."

"Ah."

……

After finishing the call with his granddaughter Norma, Williams called another granddaughter, Molly.

Williams has three sons and two daughters, and eight grandsons and three granddaughters.

In fact, there are only two of his granddaughters, Norma and Molly. As for the other granddaughter, it is somewhat different.In this regard, no matter Longguo or Meilijia, the difference is not very big.

Therefore, things are rare and precious, and granddaughters are definitely more expensive than grandsons.

Even though Molly is recognized as a marginal person in their Lampson family, she has never participated in the management of their family's company, and she has not engaged in any business activities, let alone doing business, and is recognized as a transparent person, but he This grandpa has always had this little granddaughter in his heart, but he has never forgotten her.

Even because of Molly's character, the old man has more real grandparent feelings towards her, after all, he doesn't need to be wary of her.

The phone rang for a while before being connected.

"Grandpa... hello."

Molly on the other end of the phone was visibly nervous and reserved.

"My little Jasmine, you haven't called me for two or three months, and we haven't seen each other for almost half a year."

When talking to Molly, the old man obviously changed his attitude and tone.

When Molly heard her grandfather say this, she still felt a little guilty, and immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm traveling around the world. So, I haven't been back to New York to see you. In fact, I haven't seen you for almost a year past my parents."

The old man sighed softly and said, "Then it's my birthday tomorrow, can you come back and see me?"

"Tomorrow?" Molly wanted to agree subconsciously, but soon remembered what Chen Feng told him before, after all, her life was at stake, so she still hesitated.

Seeing that Molly was silent and did not answer, the old man sighed again and said, "Do you have any important matters in Los Angeles? If there is nothing, you can come back with your sister in the afternoon."

The old man said so, and Molly couldn't refuse, so she could only agree first: "Okay, I'll go back with her."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back and live in our family manor, and I'll let the housekeeper prepare a room for you."

"Ok."

The old man chatted with her for a few more minutes before ending the call with her because of something.

After putting down the phone, Molly began to hesitate. Here she readily agreed, but in her heart she still didn't want to go back to New York.

Apart from Chen Feng's warning, there was also her instinctive rejection of New York.

Although she was born in New York and grew up in New York, she also went to college in New York. Many of her friends, including her first love, are in New York, but she doesn't have a good impression of New York.

The first is her terrible family. She seems to have been born in an old and wealthy family like Lampson, which can be called a prominent family, but she has never cared much about money and her Lampson surname, which is very similar to him Dad.On the contrary, it puts on more pressure.

Secondly, her parents divorced when she was nine years old, she followed her father, and her younger brother followed her mother.This had a great impact on her life. She was once autistic, and even suffered from depression when she was 16 years old.

Fortunately, with the enlightenment of her parents and younger brother, she walked out slowly.But she knew that it was just an appearance. Although her parents and brother loved her, it was difficult for her to get close to them.

The divorce of her parents still caused scars in her life, which made her lack of character and became inferior and unconfident.It took her a few years to slowly correct some of her personality flaws.

Then there was that bad first love that year, which also cast a haze on her life. She was attracted by the football team quarterback at school, and then she was cheated by him, and he used it as a capital to show off to her friends .

The scumbag quarterback even shared the intimate photos of the two of them with many people at will, which caused her to have a depression attack at that time, and she almost wanted to commit suicide.

Fortunately, the family took action to suppress this matter completely, and found an excuse to get the quarterback expelled from the school and sent to prison.

But she was deeply hurt.

Even though she got out of the haze of these negative things in the end, he really didn't want to go back to that sad place.

She has been traveling around the world for the past two years, isn't it a kind of escape from New York?
But she really couldn't refuse the old man's invitation all at once.

After being distressed for a while, Molly called Norma and said, "Grandpa asked me to go back to New York with you in the afternoon. I said yes, but I really don't want to go back. How about you help me?" I'll explain it to Grandpa then."

"Grandpa asked you to go back to New York?" Norma asked in surprise.

"Yeah, just now he called me, saying that he missed me, and asked me to go back to see him, celebrate his birthday with him, and chatted with me about some things in the family, I could hear it all He was about to fall asleep, but fortunately he ended the call later because he had something to do."

When Norma heard this, she couldn't help but feel a bit of a taste in her heart.

Although the old man also took the initiative to call her this time, he was mainly talking about business affairs, and he didn't take the initiative to invite her to the birthday party.

Comparing the two sides, the old man is obviously closer to Molly.

"He even took the initiative to call you and asked you to go back to celebrate his birthday with him. If you don't go back, isn't it disrespectful to him?"

"But I really don't want to go back. Besides, didn't Chen Feng warn me before? Tell me to stay in the hotel room for the next two days and not go out, otherwise my life will be in danger."

The speaker didn't mean the listener, and when Molly said this, Norma's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of Hans' unexpected death, she felt a shuddering feeling in her heart from her tailbone to the sky.

"Or just say that I fell ill suddenly. To be more specific, you can say that my anemia is cured. I do have a little anemia and I can't go back to New York for the time being. Norma, what do you think?"

But Norma didn't answer her, and suddenly said in a serious tone: "Tell me the current hotel address and room number, and I'll go find you right away." Molly asked suspiciously: "Why did you come to see me? Is there something you can't talk over the phone?"

Norma said with a heavy tone, "Hans is dead."

"Hans? Your assistant?" Molly's eyes widened. Hans has been with Norma for more than ten years. Almost every time Norma appears, Molly can see him. He is the closest to Norma. A faithful dog.

Such a person Molly had known for more than ten years, even though she was not very familiar with them and had not communicated much, she had met many times, and she was still shocked and a little unbelievable by his sudden death.

After all, Hans was only in his forties, so his sudden death should have been an accident.

Norma answered her question with a sad tone: "Yes."

"How did he die?" Molly was so surprised and curious.

Norma didn't hide anything, she told the truth.

After hearing what happened, Molly was also speechless and silent for a while.

Norma continued: "You just said that the old man invited you back to New York to celebrate his birthday with him. Under normal circumstances, without Chen Feng's warning, it would be very difficult for you to refuse, and you will definitely attend, right?"

After Molly was stunned for a moment, she finally understood. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.If there was no warning from Chen Feng, and the old man took the initiative to call her to go back, it would be really hard for her to refuse, and she would never think of any excuses not to go back.

Therefore, if she really agreed to go back, she might encounter the danger Chen Feng mentioned before.

"I came here by our company's business jet this time. Assuming you want to travel with me this time, you must take this plane with me. So, you think that Chen Feng predicted that you were in danger before, is the source of this danger just On this plane?"

Hearing Norma's words, Molly also felt shuddering.

It's not uncommon for the rich and famous to crash in planes in Meritga, it's so normal.

But Molly certainly didn't want to be one of them, and neither did Norma.

"This...it shouldn't be possible, right? Your company's business jet should have no problem with safety. Business jets are always about safety." Molly still tried to think on the bright side.

Norma said calmly: "The plane crash is not only caused by the plane itself, but also by man-made, weather, birds and other reasons."

"...Well, you have successfully given me one more reason not to go back to New York. I am afraid of death."

"I'm also afraid of death. Tell me the hotel address and room number right away, and I'll go find you right away."

"You want to find Feng Chen, right? He might not be in the hotel right now."

"Anyway, I'll go over and meet you first."

"..."

After more than half an hour, Norma successfully arrived at Molly's hotel room.

As soon as Norma came in, before she sat down, she said to Molly: "Call Feng Chen now and ask him to come here."

Molly said helplessly: "He must be with Linna right now, and it's definitely useless for me to let him come over."

Norma said, "You tell him that you are not feeling well, dizzy and nauseated, do you think he will come to see you?"

Molly: "...Okay. But what did you call him here for?"

The corner of Norma's mouth twitched, and said, "Isn't he foreseeing your danger? Then let him be our danger detector to ensure our personal safety."
