Chapter 1091 - 566: Side Story – A Kind of Care That’s Kept Deep in the Heart 3
Alice Robinson didn’t even want to lift her eyes to look at him, she just quietly said, "Thank you." Then, she bent down to pick up the documents that had scattered on the ground after she bumped into him.Chester Robinson remained silent, simply watching her quietly.
The aura of vigilance she exuded made it evident that she desperately wanted to distance herself from him.
With a cold and handsome face, Chester moved his feet and left.
Having picked up all the documents, Alice’s face turned slightly pale.
She didn’t immediately return to her room but stood still for a few seconds.
In her peripheral vision was his elegant figure descending the stairs, and the indifference he carried seemed to chill the air around them, making the temperature in the corridor drop several degrees.
Compared to him treating her like she was invisible every time they met, the "thank you" she uttered earlier, although indifferent, was already quite polite.
Perhaps, between them, such formalities weren’t necessary at all...
He wouldn’t look her in the eye, and she didn’t need to flatter someone who was cold to her.
In a traditionally elegant and refined private room, a waiter was making tea, while Chester was holding a teacup, quietly savoring the aroma of the tea.
Sitting across from Chester were three elders—Eric Grant, Adams Herbert, and Gavin Harvey, all of whom were smiling warmly.
"Uncle Grant, please enjoy the tea."
After savoring the tea’s aroma, Chester spoke to the elders.
Eric Grant took a sip from his teacup and said, "Chester, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen you. We didn’t expect you to invite us for tea as soon as you returned to the country..."
"Uncle Grant, all of you once helped my father with great dedication. Now that my father has passed, it is only right for me to maintain the friendships you have built with the previous generation..."
Upon hearing Chester’s words, Eric Grant had an inkling of the purpose behind Chester’s invitation today. He sighed, put down his teacup, and said, "Chester, we can probably guess the reason why you invited us for tea today. But we are truly sorry, Chester, even if you personally come to persuade us, we are afraid we cannot fulfill your wishes!"
Chester smiled faintly and did not interrupt Eric Grant.
Adams Herbert immediately said, "Chester, you know we’ve served the Robinson family for decades. We are indeed tired and just want to retire early..."
Gavin Harvey added, "Admittedly, our health has deteriorated significantly over the past couple of years..."
"Health reasons? Or is it because you, Uncle Harvey, have registered a new wine brand with plans to strike out on your own?" Keith Antony, with a stern face, hit the nail on the head, revealing the truth.
Gavin Harvey and the others were momentarily stunned.
"Wha... what... Assistant Tang, don’t fabricate facts..." Adams Herbert’s incoherent response revealed their guilt.
Eric Grant struggled to remain calm, "Assistant Tang, we are speaking with Chester, it’s not your place to interject!"
Keith Antony gritted his teeth, "You all..."
Chester waved his hand, signaling Keith to step back.
Uncle Grant glared at Keith, saying, "Chester, you really should keep your bodyguard in check... He seems to lack a sense of propriety and manners."
Chester smiled, "Uncle Grant is correct, it’s indeed inappropriate to be disrespectful to elders. I will certainly instruct my bodyguard properly... However, what do you think about what Keith Antony said?"
Eric Grant, angry, responded, "What opinion? Chester, don’t be swayed by rumors about us trying to establish an independent business elsewhere. We are genuinely stepping back due to health issues..."
Chester squinted slightly, "Is that so?"
"Of course... We’ve served the Robinson family for decades. How could we possibly betray the Robinson family?"
Chester laughed softly and tossed the documents handed over by Keith onto the table in front of Eric Grant.
After reading the documents, Eric Grant and the others turned pale.
It turned out that the documents Chester handed to them contained information about their registration of a wine company with the trade bureau...
Adams Herbert, enraged, said, "Chester, how dare you investigate us?"
Chester remained calmly amused, taking a sip of tea, "I just wanted to understand why you suddenly forced Alice into such a situation, what your intentions were?"
"Intentions?" Gavin Harvey, a straightforward person, spoke outright, "Chester, I don’t have the patience that Eric Grant does, so I’ll say it bluntly... Since your father passed away, the Robinsons have been in decline. You are solely focused on being a doctor, and Alice spends her time thinking about romance. The vast Robinson estate has been languishing, and we, who have followed your father for decades, cannot bear to see a young girl in charge. That’s why we don’t want to serve the Robinsons anymore..."
