Chapter 39
Veronica looked at her and then looked at Daryl and said, "yes brother-in-law." After the commotion, everyone is back to normal what they need to do. "Sister sits down, the food is ready. It's waiting for you." Rachel calls Erica and guides her to the kitchen.
"Is it?" Erica looked at the table that have lots of dishes, and her tone was a double meaning on it. If no one pays attention to it, no one will notice that she said double meaning in her words.
"Erica, how long have you been to your grandfather's house?" Daryl put vegetables on her plate and asked curiously. Erica looked at her father and said, "it's been a long time since I was there."
After she got married, She didn't go there again, and she didn't know what happened to her grandfather after that. She remembers that her grandfather's health was getting worse after her mother's death. If it wasn't for the family and her grandfather, maybe they have been a rampant family!
"That long? Why don't you go and visit him? Your mother still has the 30% of the share of the company in your grandfather, don't you want it?" Daryl's eyes flashed while looking at her. "Dad, why are you asking about this?" Erica asked, pretending she was puzzled.
"Erica, you see the latest news right. Li is in trouble. If you don't help dad, the company that your mother has worked so hard is going to be gone and will change its owners!" Daryl said with sadness and anger in his eyes.
Erica looked at Daryl,
"Can you let me borrow your share and your mom's share? When the company is okay, I'll give it back to you..." Daryl's said. "Sister, don't you always want to do something in front of dad? Now is the time. If you help dad and the company, he will thank you very much," Rachel said after seeing that Erica is having a hesitation.
"Sister, just listen to father. Our father will give it back to you." Rachel added, "No, the grandfather said that I can't give it to you..." erica is still full of hesitation. Daryl's expression suddenly become mad, and his tone became heavier. "Do you listen to your grandfather or your own father?"
"Kate, get the document in the office bring it here," Daryl said Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly and go to the office to get the document. Erica's mouth was slightly full, she looked at her father, the transfer of the share have been written, her father was really prepared.
"Dad, you don't only want my share, you even want mother's share too?" Erica held up her chin and asked in agony as if she didn't care what would happen next. After hearing what Erica said, Daryl's mood change. "Yes!" His voice become sweeter, and he looked is as a father that begging.
"Of course, the grandfather said that if I get married and live a good life with Lloyd and have a baby, he will give me my mother's share," Erica said with a sad tone. Daryl listened and moved on to what he heard.
"When did your grandfather said that?" Rachel's eyes were red, and the old man said that erica need to have a child from Lloyd. She looked at Erica,
"When I get married, but I was so angry that time I didn't want to go back to visit him," Erica said. "What do you think erica? Daryl asked her with doubt. "I don't know. Should I pretend to be pregnant to cheat grandfather?" Erica said setting a trap for her father.
"Why not!" Daryl said with excitement in his tone. "That's right sister. You'd better pretend to be pregnant. Do you really want to have children with Lloyd?" Rachel asked with a serious tone. Erica looked at Rachel then Daryl, "but what if Lloyd knows about it?" Erica acted like she was worried about the idea. After hearing that Erica still worrying she needs to help, "you just to pretend to be pregnant, and leave the rest to us! Right, dad?" Rachel said.
"Really it's up to you?" Erica glanced at her and nodded. "What are you talking about?" Mrs. Li also came down with the contract on her hand. "Good, good come and sit here Kate and have dinner. Let's not worry about the share for a moment. Let's have dinner first." Daryl said with a smile on his face.
Kate looked at them with suspicion, she saw Erica eating and frowned and walked over to the other side of the dining table. Rachel looked at Erica and asked, "sister, have you eaten enough?" At this time the door was open and a dozen men came in, tightly surrounded the whole house,
And the main man came after the men in black all the door. Everyone looked tense while looking at the guy who is standing at the door. They looked surprised, but one of them didn't forget to put the food in her mouth, even everyone is in gaze looking at the guy who just entered the house.
"Son-in-law, are you here to pick up Erica?" Daryl asked while he was in a cold sweat. he quickly stood up to greet him. "Sit down, sit down, Erica was having diner with us! Come and join us too."
"No!" Lloyd said coldly and don't even look at him. And then he looked at Erica, his tone was soft once he spoke. "Erica, let's go home." Erica looked at Lloyd and said, "but I'm not full yet." Erica gives Lloyd a sad puppy eye.
"Let us go home, whatever you want to eat, you can have it at home," Lloyd said with a little tone of danger. Erica immediately stood up and walked with a pout on her face. Once Erica get up on the chair, Lloyd immediately reached her and hugged her into his arms. He finally looked at Daryl, "we won't disturb you." Then they turn and left.
The men in black follow them, everyone at the dining table finally loosened. "Daryl, did you just going to let them go like that?" Kate asked unwillingly. "DOn't worry, Erica has promised me the share. She is also willing to help me take the 30% that is in her grandfather's hands. Let's take this share first and then Li will completely belong to us once again." Daryl was excited about it.
Kate looked at Daryl and said, "did she agree with it and without anything to say." Looking at Daryl with doubt in her eyes. She knows that it will not that easy to talk about it to Erica. "What else does she want? It's her job to help me as her father?" Daryl said with pride in his voice.
