Chapter 9

Autor: The Awakened
A heavy silence fell. Everyone stared at Preston in stunned disbelief.

Yet, he only became more brazen. “If that’s not possible, I can marry your granddaughter. It wouldn’t be beneath her, but…”

He looked at me. “Once we’re married, I’ll handle work. You’ll stay at home and care for my father and me.”

Grandpa froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.

After laughing to his heart’s content, he fixed George with a frosty stare.

“I must’ve been too kind to you all this time. You actually da

  • My Grandfather And His Pink Car   Chapter 10

    As despair spread across their faces, I listed the repair costs. It totaled up to as much as twenty million dollars. Only one million dollars was attributed to the Rolls-Royce, while the remainder was for the pink Rimac.“This is outright extortion!” Preston yelled, throwing caution to the wind. “It’s just a locally made car. How could it possibly cost so much?”Before I could speak, Nigel, who was still slumped on the floor nearby, answered, “You ignorant fool. This is a Rimac Nevera. Not even ten Rolls-Royces could compare to it. I was wise all my life, only to be ruined in a single moment of stupidity. How did I ever believe you…”Preston went pale as a sheet. “How is that possible…?”Everyone involved in damaging the pink car also panicked and swarmed around him.“You told us to smash it. What do we do now?”“I’m not paying for this, you jerk. You handle it yourself!”“Exactly! You pay for it!”George knelt on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably, but Grandpa did not spare him

You actually dare to imagine my granddaughter attending to you?”Before George could stammer out an explanation, Grandpa had already taken my hand and turned me toward everyone.“Listen up. From this moment on, my granddaughter is the only heir to the company.”He cast a cold look over everyone present. “As for all of you, anyone who harassed her today is hereby fired.”The crowd erupted into chaos. Voices rose in desperate pleas for mercy.Suddenly, Preston raised his chin and shouted, “How can a woman b

    Silence filled the space. The men who had been calling for female employees to be fired moments ago stood frozen. Their faces were drained of color.A low murmur spread through the crowd.“What? That old man is actually the chairman?”“Quiet! Do you have a death wish?”“B-But didn’t Mr. Creed say he was the chairman’s grandson? Why do they look like they don’t even know each other?”“Don’t tell me we got played?”Preston was utterly stunned. He stammered as he asked, “M-Mr. Wellington… w-what did you say? He’s… the chairman?”Nigel looked just as shocked. He stared at Preston in disbelief.“Didn’t you keep saying Mr. Reid was your grandfather? How is it that you don’t even recognize him?”The air seemed to freeze as they locked eyes.With a howl, George threw himself at Grandpa’s feet.“Mr. Reid, my son is just young and foolish. I was the one who lost my mind… Please don’t take it out on him!”Then, he turned and knelt before me. “Miss Reid, I truly had no idea it was you!

    Then, Nigel noticed Ernest standing off to the side. He was drenched in cold sweat.He frowned. “Ernest, as head of logistics, how could you not handle this right away or report it? Why did you let it drag on until I showed up?”Ernest desperately signaled to him with his eyes.However, Nigel waved him off impatiently. “Enough. Whatever the reason, I’ll take over from here. Mr. Creed, who hit the chairman’s car?”Preston pointed at me. There was a smug, malicious glint in his eyes. “It was her.”Upon hearing that, Nigel gave me a once-over.“Since you’re the one who did it, we’ll settle compensation through legal channels.”I stepped forward. “You haven’t even established the facts, and you’re already passing judgment just because he said so?”“Do you know who you’re speaking to, young lady?” Nigel’s tone turned icy. “Here, our word is final. If we say you did it, you did. Refuse to admit it, and we have plenty of ways to handle people like you. Consider this your lesson. You

    His words were met with a chorus of agreement from the employees.“Mr. Creed is right. It’s as expected of the chairman’s grandson! He’s looking out for the guys!”“Women like that are ruining society these days.”“Whenever I see a woman in a pink car, I honk and flash my lights on purpose. Watching them panic is pretty entertaining.”Grandpa’s expression grew increasingly grim.Ernest frantically tried to signal to the others, but it was useless.Meanwhile, George struggled to his feet and grabbed Preston’s sleeve, still trembling. “E-Enough… please, let’s go.”“What are you afraid of? I’m the chairman’s grandson. This company will be mine someday. What’s wrong with firing a few employees?”Preston shook him off and became even more arrogant, speaking as if he already considered himself the company’s heir. “I’m telling you, people like them are frauds who need to be taught a lesson…”“What’s all this commotion?”A stern voice rang out from behind the onlookers. “You’ve been

    The moment George saw Grandpa, he crumpled to the floor as if he were a puppet with its strings cut. His lips trembled uncontrollably.“M-Mr…”Off to the side, Ernest dropped the fire extinguisher with a thud.His eyes widened, and his face paled as he tried to speak, but Grandpa silenced him with a single glare.Grandpa looked at me apologetically. “Liana, I just remembered that black Rolls-Royce is actually mine. It’s been sitting in the garage so long, I forgot all about it… The color is just too ugly. No wonder I couldn’t remember it.”I chuckled helplessly and was about to speak, but Preston beat me to it.Frowning, he gave Grandpa a once-over and asked irritably, “Who in the world are you, old man?”Ernest stared at Preston in shock, as if he could not believe what he had just heard.Meanwhile, George had gone deathly pale. He was mumbling nonstop, “It’s over… We’re doomed…”Grandpa kept his face impassive.“You claimed you were the chairman’s grandson, and yet you do
