Be saw Dax and her mother in the living room watching television. They were both too immersed to realize she had joined them.

Trying to hide her worry about Tristan and William Sinir, she adjusted her expression and joined them.

"Mother, Dax, what are you watching?" Be’s question surprised Natalie and Dax. They both turned to see her.

"Ooo... Mommy... You finally came. Why did you take so long?" Dax asked. His worry clearly showed in his gaze.

"I heard someone you know ising. Who?" Natalie asked curiously. After Dax mentioned that Be had stopped to talk to someone, she became curious about the person’s identity.

She was suspicious that the person must be someone her daughter was afraid of. That’s why she urged Dax to leave in a hurry.

Be didn’t answer them in a rush; she sat beside her son and yed with his silk-like hair.

"Baby, sorry to keep you waiting. Are you watching the news?" Be tried to distract his interest and stop him from asking her about what happened outside.

"Hmm, the business news," Dax answered while focusing on the television screen. Be smiled, sessfully stopping her son from asking further.

However, when Be saw her mother’s sharp gaze, she couldn’t help but silently sigh deeply. It seemed she couldn’t avoid it. She needed to exin.

"Who is the person you met outside?" Natalie repeated her question.

"Uhm. Oh, the person. Yeah. He’s my old friend. He coincidentally visited this hospital too," Be answered slightly awkwardly while crossing her fingers; she felt wrong lying to her mother.

Be’s words confused Natalie even more, "But why did you ask Dax toe here first and not wait for you? You could introduce your son to your business partner, I’m sure?"

"Yes, mommy. What Grandma said is true. I also wanted to know your friend. Why did you force me to leave that ce?" Dax suddenly chimed in, looking up at his mother with a cute, curious gaze.

Be, "..."

She was now puzzled about whether to tell them about William Sinir or spare them from trouble and keep it to herself.

After Be saw her mother and son in return, she finally responded.

"That person is my business rival. I don’t want him to see Dax’s face. It would be troublesome if he tried to harm me and Dax..." This was the reason she could think of.

Natalie, who heard that, was shocked.

"Be, you did a good job, my dear. Dax’s safety is your priority, no... no... our priority..." Natalie said while stroking Dax’s back. She was worried someone might hurt her grandson.

"Yes, Mom," Be said helplessly. Even though she lied about that person, she didn’t lie that Tristan’s parents might hurt Dax.

"This is why I didn’t want you guys to move to this ce..." Natalie continued. She knew how her daughter hid Dax’s identity, especially from Tristan’s family.

Natalie was even more worried if her husband, Lucas, or brother-inw knew about Dax. They could use this to achieve their foolish n.

"It’s fine, Mom. Tristan has arranged everything. No one will harm us here," Be didn’t want to dwell on the matter for too long, especially with Dax around.

She noticed that her son seemed to have thought something to ask, so she quickly changed the subject to her mother’s uing surgery to divert his attention.

"Has Dr. Angie finished examining you, Mom?" Be asked.

"Yes, we had a long conversation this morning. They are going to perform the surgery tomorrow at ten in the morning. I have to stay overnight at the hospital for some tests. And ording to Angie, I can onlye back to this ce after they allow me to leave," Natalie exined.

"Grandma, can we still visit you while you’re there?" Dax asked, showing his curiosity about his grandmother’s surgery.

"Sure. Little Dax, you cane to see me anytime you want," Natalie said, smiling at her adorable grandson before turning back to Be. "What about your aunt Emma? Did she manage toe here?"

Be nodded before answering, "Yes. Sam arranged for Aunty Emma to fly here this afternoon."

"Aren’t your father and uncle suspicious about it?" Natalie asked worriedly.

"They are, but Sam has a way to get Auntie out of there. Besides, have you forgotten that my cousin Liam attends college in this city?" Be smiled when she saw her mother’s eyes widen.

"Ah, you’re right; how could I forget about Liam? So, she made an excuse about wanting to visit Liam?"

"Yes. They can’t stop her because Aunty has officially resigned from thepany."

"What?" Natalie was shocked to hear that. She was aware that her sister-inw had a vital position in thepany. Why did she suddenly resign!? "Why did your aunt do that? Did they fire her?"

"Mom, of course not. How could they fire Aunty Emma!? They don’t have a chance to do that even if they wanted to."

"Then why did your Auntie suddenly quit thepany?"

"Aunty Emma is only leaving thepany temporarily. She will return when I take over thepany." Be paused as a cold smile slowly appeared on her lips before continuing her words, "She will rece my first uncle as the CEO of Donovan Group..."

Be gave some information about her next n after cleaning up her greedy uncles and father from thepany; she would rebuild Donovan Group with a professional team.

"That’s good. It would be a pity for your aunt if she were fired. She has tried her best to help thepany so far. Your uncle is the one who made thepany in trouble like it is today, on the verge of bankruptcy..."

"I know, mother. That’s why I will help my Aunt Emma."

"You did a good job, my darling." Natalie smiled happily, praising her daughter. "When will your aunt arrive?"

"Maybe in the afternoon. I hope she can arrive before you go into your treatment room."

Natalie nodded happily; at least she could meet Emma before her surgery.

Just before Natalie wanted to return to her room to rest, she suddenly remembered Tristan. "Be... has my son-inw arrived at his destination!?"

"My husband—" Be’s sentence stopped when Tristan entered the room to answer Natalie’s question.

"I’m not going anywhere, Mother. I will stay here with Be and Dax. We will stay here and wait for your surgery," Tristan calmly said.

His sudden presence shocked everyone.
