86. The Olsens Don’t Get Dishonored Twice!
“Heidi, you framed Lilian. I know you framed her so she can’t be able to return to the brand. Aren’t you shameless?” Aiden met her at the door, raining down insults.
“Lilian’s case is spread all over the internet.” Beatrice strode forward and stood in front of her. “I know what strategy you’re using. In order to gain the public’s sympathy, you framed your own cousin and portrayed her as the brand’s villain.”
“You are not going to get away with this easily, Heidi,” Harold threatened. ” If you don’t reveal your true intentions to the public and have Lilian released from police custody, I am going to take strict actions and you can only dream about joining AG Group as its CEO.”
Being surrounded by her uncle’s family, they looked as if they’d beat her up. Heidi was quick to grasp the situation. Her uncle was no less a criminal.
Was he accusing her of the same kind of crimes he’d committed in the past?
If she could remember correctly, he used this strategy to overthrow her father. That was why he thought she was using the same strategy.
“It is not given yet if StriveStyle Co. will achieve its success or not. Why do you seem wary, Uncle?”
Knowing that StriveStyle Co. was gradually getting back on its feet, her uncle’s family must be greatly disturbed.
If the brand achieved its success in a short timeframe, then Harold would have to keep his promise and let Heidi join the AG Group.
Understanding the underlying meaning behind Heidi’s words, Harold’s eyes turned red with fury. “You ungrateful child-”
He raised his hand to slap her, and Grandpa Jeffery quickly stepped in between them.
“Harold, are you out of your mind!?” He scolded. “When was the last time a child was hit in this household? Will you not stop with your craziness until I take action?”
“Dad, I needed to teach her a lesson.”
“Maybe you should teach your own children a lesson!” Grandpa Jeffrey pushed him out of the way, pulling Heidi behind him. “Now, all of you, get out! I don’t want to see you around my quarters any time soon. Harold and his family, don’t show your face until you admit that you’re in the wrong and apologize to me.”
“Apologize for what, Grandpa?” Aiden looked flabbergasted. “What crime did we commit that we need to apologize?”
“I said, get out!”
After chasing Harold’s family out, Grandpa Jeffrey faced Heidi, his expression not looking good.
“Now I am back to you, Silly Girl. Tell me where you spent the night.”
Under Grandpa Jeffrey’s scrutinizing gaze and the fact that he wasn’t in a good mood, Heidi dared not to make up stories.
Grandpa Jeffrey would instantly understand that she was lying, and she’d be in great trouble.
“Grandpa, I- I was seeing a client last night then met Grandpa Winston. I spent the night at the Harrisons.”
“You!” Stunned and speechless, Grandpa Jeffrey couldn’t react for some seconds.
Regina looked at her husband, then she stepped forward with both hands on her waist. “So it’s true. You were at the engagement, weren’t you? Heidi, tell me you aren’t part of the reason why that engagement got canceled.”
“Mum, why would I-”
“The news has spread all over the city about Lucas Harrison’s engagement and how it ended up in jeopardy. Everyone knows that it was his old man who stormed the engagement. You were part of it, weren’t you?”
“Why won’t you quit being stubborn?” Caleb looked helpless, then he warned, “We gave you only one chance, Heidi. No matter what happens, we won’t allow you to return to that family. Even if you can’t stop loving Lucas Harrison.”
Heidi felt attacked from all sides. ” Come on, Guys. Am I so petty as to destroy someone’s engagement?”
“If that person is Lucas Harrison, of course,” Regina answered. “I don’t want to believe that you are over him already.”
“Didn’t you spend so many years conjuring up all kinds of dreams about him in your head? Did that love suddenly evaporate?”
“Heidi, look at me.” Grandpa Jeffery made her face him by holding her shoulders. “Even if that boy comes here one day and begs me on his knees, know that I will never agree to your reunion. Put this at the back of your mind, the Olsens don’t get dishonored twice!”
