CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 281: NO PEACE EVER

Ever since knowing him, Landon Lawson had never uttered the word "sorry" to her, but today those three words came out of his mouth. It seems that this man’s heart has been completely seduced away by that seductress, Sienna Quinn. Now, she wonders if she can ever retrieve Landon Lawson’s heart.

The woman understood as her lips slowly curled upward. Since she had decided from the beginning, if ordinary methods were ineffective, then she would resort to unconventional methods now.

"Brother Stephen, you forced me into this; it’s truly not something I wanted." A sinister smile appeared on the woman’s cheek, the grim smile terrifying. If Landon Lawson saw it, he surely would wonder deeply if he truly recognized this woman.

Miles Grant had just finished a major surgery and was about to head home to rest for a few days, especially since he hadn’t left the operating table for several days.

Standing on the ground now, his whole body trembled, his legs shook, fearing if he didn’t get a good sleep, he might collapse completely.

Miles Grant dragged his weary body, using the last of his strength, finally drove back to his apartment. He could have gone back to the villa, but the thought of those chaotic things at home made Miles Grant prefer staying at the apartment. Besides, the environment here is still quite nice.

At the moment he unlocked the door with his key, Miles Grant completely relaxed, tossed the key aside, took off his shoes without caring, and rushed straight into the bedroom.

With a thump, his entire body fell onto the bed, his eyes closed immediately, and within two minutes, he entered into sleep mode, undisturbed by anyone.

Initially, when there was someone in the room it was silent, after Miles Grant returned there was a burst of noise, now Miles Grant quietly lay asleep on the bed. The room seemed empty again, and at this moment, even the drop of a pin could be heard clearly.

Miles Grant enjoyed this tranquility very much, but alas, the peace didn’t last long.

"I never loved you～"

All of sudden, the ringtone of Miles Grant’s phone rang, and being in a light sleep, the sound startled him greatly.

Miles Grant awoke suddenly upon hearing the faint sound, his relaxed nerves immediately tensed up. He instantly opened his eyes, realizing he had slightly relaxed since he was at home.

Miles Grant suddenly realized his phone was ringing, feeling a surge of irritation, he extended his slender arm to locate the source of the sound all over the bed and in his pockets.

Miles Grant, through his blurry eyes, saw the two characters on the phone screen - President Grant.

Miles Grant never considered his father to be a father or a presence bound to him by duty, often feeling commanded just like last time.

Thus, between their father-son relationship, there isn’t much depth. Although Miles Grant simply wants their relationship to resemble a father-son one more, but over the years, does he really see himself as a son?

Miles Grant laughed coldly, if possible, he truly wouldn’t want to be born into this wealthy family, rather find a place where no one recognizes him, perhaps that would be a pretty good choice.

Even a short remark reveals the nature of their relationship.

Everything he does for the Grant Family is merely a form of maintenance. Using Mr. Grant’s words, since he’s part of the Grant Family, he must shoulder this responsibility, and his task is always to maintain the Grant Family’s business, extract profits from Landon Lawson.

How ironic.

Miles Grant felt a wave of irritation in his heart, truly reluctant to answer the call, but after all, it was his father. Miles Grant’s father had always been very strict with him.

Hence, even though Miles Grant felt extremely irritable and physically exhausted, he still asked in a particularly respectful tone: "President Grant, what’s up?"

Clearly, a roar was heard from the other end: "You unfilial kid, calling your old man President Grant, can’t even utter ’Dad’."

Miles Grant only felt immense head pain, used his immediate two fingertips, squeezed his temple, trying to ease his exhausted mood, also felt particularly annoyed by this issue.

His father had been telling him this for many years, was there really not a word of gratitude? Then every time the opening was with such an excuse.

Miles Grant said blandly: "What’s up? Just tell me directly, I’m quite tired after just getting off the surgery table."

Miles Grant’s father had become furious directly, initially because of the company’s troubles, was very displeased at heart, his son reneged on not choosing the company path but chose to be a doctor, now being so tired, although he felt distressed, he also thought it serves him right.

Besides, Miles Grant always had this attitude when talking to him, although he was very dissatisfied and had said several times, but he just wouldn’t change then he had no recourse.

Miles Grant’s father planned to rebuke harshly but considering the urgency, there was no time to get fussed with his son, making him quickly return to address the issue was the top priority.

Miles Grant’s father suppressed the rage within his heart and said: "Perform surgery? All you know is surgery. The company is already at a critical state, looming bankruptcy, and you’re still performing surgery, still sleeping there."

It was the first time Miles Grant heard his father so enraged, suddenly felt somewhat awake, possibly an actual problem arose with the company otherwise his father who had always been a stable figure wouldn’t speak so hurriedly.

Upon hearing the word bankruptcy, Miles Grant instantly perked up, knowing how his father was, the company was like his life.

Miles Grant rubbed his puffy eyes, suddenly widened them, realizing the importance of today’s call.

Miles Grant curiously asked: "Bankruptcy? How could that be, isn’t the company’s operating condition quite good recently?"

Although there’s no longer support from Lawson Group, relying on the Grant Group’s own capabilities, managing should remain viable; how could a problem arise?

Miles Grant’s beautiful brows furrowed, appears that during his absence these few days, indeed some issues have emerged.

But where exactly is the problem now, Miles Grant isn’t sure, it seems he needs to find time to go home. If he can’t resolve this issue, he fears he won’t have any peace.
