NovelEnglishChapter 136 After walking a bit farther, Felix finally asked, “Is there skind of misunderstanding between you guys and the Hawkins?" Stewart and Charlene exchanged glances, with Charlene replying, "No." Because it wasn't just a misunderstanding.
Felix, however, took her words the wrong way, thinking she meant there was truly no beef with the Hawkins family, "That's good to hear." He was quite optimistic about PrimeStar and said earnestly, "Given how much Thorne values Ms. Hawkins, the Hawkins family is set for a meteoric rise. You don't want to mess with the likes of the Hendersons or Thorne. So, even if you're not cozying up to the Hawkins, it's best not to cross them.” Hearing this, Charlene couldn't help but chuckle at the irony.
The idea that she'd be advised to make nice with her husband's mistress, to not cross the woman he's taken a fancy to, seemed to be a situation unique to her in the whole wide world.
Stewart couldn't stand the conversation either.
"We at PrimeStar aren't afraid of Thorne," he declared.
Thanks to certain connections, their company had always enjoyed government protection.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThorne had been unable to influence PrimeStar for stime, and with the projects they were currently spearheading, Stewart was confident they'd soon secure substantial government support.
By next year, their company's market presence was expected to soar, making Thorne even less of a threat to PrimeStar.
So, when he said they weren't afraid, he wasn't just blowing smoke.
This was the confidence Charlene had fought hard to secure for herself! Helena's birthday was on a Saturday.
Whether Thorne showed up for the old lady's birthday was now irrelevant to Charlene.
But Jasmine was a must-show.
To prevent Jasmine from sneaking off to see Vesta, making her impossible to find on the day, Charlene took the initiative to call Jasmine on Thursday morning.
This was her first call to Jasmine since returning from Country Goldland on her own birthday.
Jasmine was having breakfast.
Thorne was there too.
Seeing the call from Charlene made Jasmine genuinely happy.
She quickly set down her utensils and answered, "Mom!" "Yeah." Charlene could tell she was eating, so she made small talk, "Having breakfast?" "Yeah! Have you eaten, Mom?" "I have." Charlene quickly got to the point, "I called to remind you that Saturday is your grandmother's birthday.
So, don't go wandering off; you need to cwithto your grandmother's house to celebrate, okay?" 08:53 apter 36 dasmine hadn't expected Charlene's call to be about this.
She hadn't gotten to hang out with Ms. Hawkins the previous weekend and had been hoping to make up for it his week.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing Charlene's instructions now made her a bit reluctant.
But she couldn't just ignore what Charlene said.
Charlene could easily pick up on her reluctance.
She knew exactly what Jasmine was thinking.
Tightly gripping her phone, Charlene asked, "Is your dad there?"
"Dad? Yeah, he's here." Jasmine, while speaking, glanced at Thorne sitting across from her and asked Kerand Charlene, "Do you want to talk to Dad?" "Yes, pass him the phone. I need to discuss something with him.” Okay." Jasmine handed the phone to Thorne, who was in the middle of breakfast, "Dad, Mom wants to talk to you." Thorne paused his meal to take the call, "What's up?” he asked.
"The day after tomorrow is my Q grandma's birthday. I hope you can tell Minnie to spend the day withNO at the Ross family's place, and she's not allowed to run off for the whole day." Thorne responded, "Okay." Then he asked, “Anything else?" "I'll cpick her up Friday night to take her to the Ross family's." "Alright." With his agreement, Charlene felt a bit relieved and after a second of silence, she said, “Thanks.” Thorne replied, "Nothing." She hadn't asked if he was free on Saturday when she handed him the invitation previously, and it was the ssituation this taround.
Besides, since he had given her the auctioned item to pass on as his gift to her grandmax it implied she was to represent him in delivering the present.
