The next day I didn’t go to work, but Andy sent me a message saying that there were still a lot of people standing outside the company, and because of yesterday’s photo, a lot of people were asking for more pictures of Calvin. I wanted to satisfy them. Then stop scolding me. I posted a few photos from different angles of Calvin.
That day, I received many calls from my mom, my grandma, college classmates, and even someone who wanted to make me a star.
That evening, Calvin came back. He looked tired and said that this matter was almost done. There will be no more media coverage. The enthusiasm of these fans will probably die down soon. All we can do is wait for the time to pass.
So why is Calvin upset?
After dinner, Calvin said he would urgently return to Switzerland.
“My sister’s situation has improved recently, I will visit her again.” When I heard this good news, I was very happy for him.
“I’m not at home at the moment, are you staying with grandma?” asked Calvin.
“No, I can handle it on my own!” I quickly shook my head, I didn’t want to bother grandma.
“Grandma misses you, she’ll be very happy to see you go.” Calvin touched my cheek and squinted his eyes in concern.
“Alright.” The way I feel after meeting Calvin, I seem to be getting further and further away from becoming a professional woman. It seems that I can’t stay in the Sky Group anymore. It’s impossible for me to work with Calvin in peace.
“I’m leaving tomorrow morning. Let’s leave early. I’ll take you to Grandma’s house.” Calvin hugged me. It was only then that he felt he was alive again after so many years. With her by his side, he was truly very happy.
“Yeah.” I murmured, snuggling into his arms.
In fact, I also understand in my heart that Calvin’s sudden return to Switzerland is definitely not just because he wants to see his sister. The main reason should be me.
The next morning, he drove me to Grandma’s house and took off in the private jet.
Grandma was very happy to see me, and since Ella was there, I was very happy to stay here for three days.
Three days later Calvin came back from Switzerland.
I didn’t ask him what had happened, just asked how his sister was.
It was the weekend again, and Calvin was at work that day, and I got a call from my dad back home.
“Alexia, did you do what Dad said?” asked Philip Brown angrily.
I didn’t like his tone, but I asked patiently anyway, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
“Why won’t Calvin buy my company?” Philip Brown got even angrier. “He asked a subordinate to talk to me, and what am I? did you talk to him? To be clear, I’m your father. I’m strapped for cash. He can only give me a little. Why wouldn’t he help me?”
“So, Dad, you’re just going to ask him for money? You don’t really want to sell the company?” Dad is really crazy!
“I want to sell, he’s not buying it!” Philip Brown got angry, but then his tone softened again, “Alexia, you and Calvin have a relationship, then tell him to buy Dad’s company, then I’ll have the money to pay your mother’s medical bills! You help Dad!”
“Dad, where’s your money? Where did your money go?” I really admire myself. I’m so angry that I can still talk to him calmly on the phone.
“My money…” Philip Brown says nothing, he says impatiently, “Don’t worry so much, will you help me?”
“Dad, I told you that I can’t control his business!” I said coldly.
“Then give me the money, Calvin is so nice to you, he must have given you a lot of money, please give me the money!” Philip Brown is really worried, Gloria Williams will go to court soon, he doesn’t even have money to ask a lawyer.
“Dad, I don’t have any money!” I didn’t expect Philip Brown to be so shameless. “All my money goes to my mother’s medical expenses.”
“Alexia, I know you still hate me, I was in trouble then too, so please give me Calvin’s phone number and I’ll tell him in person. Besides, you and Abby are sisters after all, you have money now, don’t forget your sister. Why don’t you introduce Abby to Calvin? Dad’s worried you’ll get upset and upset Calvin. Or you could have Abby accompany Calvin and have your sisters serve him together!” She refused, so he changed the method.
I was shocked at his insolence, “Dad, do you even know what you’re talking about?”
“What did I say? I said that I’m afraid you can’t control Calvin on your own, so I asked Abby to help you. Is that wrong?”, Philip Brown talked at me.
“Dad, you’re crazy, so don’t think about it! What is she?” I was very angry and felt like my readings had been refreshed.
“What is she, then what are you!” Philip Brown immediately scolded and cursed violently, “Alexia, I’ll make it clear today. You are not my daughter at all. I put up with raising you for 20 years. Now I want you to pay me back. You’re rejecting me? You’re so inconsiderate! For more than 20 years! Even if you raise a dog, it knows how to be grateful. You’re not as good as a dog!
“!” I couldn’t hear it anymore, so I smashed the phone.
I covered my face and couldn’t help but cry again.
That’s what Dad had said, that I wasn’t as good as a dog!
I was shaking with anger and didn’t know how long I had been crying until Calvin picked me up and I was surprised to see him again.
“Why are you crying?” Calvin sat down on the couch, gently wiped away my tears and asked quietly.
I choked and repeated what Philip Brown had just said. My mood calmed for the moment. I’m not as angry as I was just now, but my heart is full of disappointment and disillusionment with family.
Calvin frowned when he heard this. He paused and said, “Do you know that your father is a gambler? He borrowed money from the underworld. The reason he was so eager to sell the company was because he had to pay the money back.”
I looked at Calvin in amazement, “Really?”
Calvin nodded, “Really.”
I don’t know how to describe my feelings anymore. My father used to go gambling. He used to hate gambling so much, how dare he even borrow money now?
“The lawyer told me today that the divorce proceedings are finalized.” My voice was a little dry.
“So if you need me, just say so!” Calvin hugged me tightly and patted gently on the back.
“I need to call my mom.”
I called directly, but on the phone, when I told my mother about Philip Brown’s gambling, my mother was silent for a while, then she sighed and said, “Alexia, I already knew!”
“Mom!” I gritted my teeth.
“Your father has Gloria Williams become addicted to gambling. You often go to Las Vegas, to gamble.” Mom’s tone was calm, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
“Mom, Dad called me today and said that raising me for 20 years is not so good.” I didn’t want to tell my mother, but I felt really uncomfortable. . . .
Florence Brown was silent for a long time before she sighed, “Alexia, in the future you won’t have a father!”
For several days I was absent-minded, depressed and uncomfortable. I didn’t go to work either, but either stayed at home or went to the hospital to accompany my mother.
After a week, our affairs faded completely because there was no follow-up.
On Friday night, I was caught by Calvin, who was in a good mood. After three hundred rounds of fighting, he finally let me go.
At that moment my cell phone rang and someone was looking for me.
It’s Eva Jones, my counselor in high school, but we didn’t get in touch, so why is she coming to see me now?
“There’s a party on Saturday night, come with me!” Eva Jones quickly sent a message.
I haven’t contacted her since graduation, especially Eva jones and Abby Williams have a good relationship, so I declined without thinking about it.
“I’m sorry, I have plans tomorrow, I can’t come, have fun you guys!” I typed these words.
“Don’t cancel, everyone wants to see you, let’s have fun together, tomorrow’s no good, how about we switch the next night?” Eva Jones sent a voice message.
Now I couldn’t refuse. Everyone agreed with my arrangement.
All I could do was agree, “Fine, I’m free on Sunday night.”
“Then it’s a deal! I’ll change the time and let everyone know, and I’ll text you after I book the room!” Eva Jones sounded very excited.
“Who are you talking to?” Calvin came out of the bathroom when he heard the words “book the room” and he beamed.
“The high school classmates are going to gather, and I want to be there!” I made no bones about it.
“Are you going?” Calvin sat down, his stocky body relaxing.
“Well, if I don’t go, they won’t meet!” I shrugged.
“Well, I have a reception on Sunday night, and I’ll arrange for someone to take you there.” Calvin hugged me.
The weekend flew by. On Sunday evening, I hurried to the meeting place and found that the dining room was full of people. I counted them. There were probably more than 20 people, all former classmates from high school.
I’m very aware that a lot of girls are looking at me with jealous eyes, but they’re all classmates from high school and there’s no intersection, so I don’t care what these people think of me.
After I sat down, I saw that Eva Jones kept looking at her phone. She seemed to be talking to someone. It was already seven o’clock, but dinner was postponed. Is someone else coming?
“Alexia, look who’s here!” I was distracted, and the woman next to me suddenly pulled me away and instructed me to look at the door.
The door opened, and a beautiful and elegant woman in a white dress came in. As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted everyone in the room.
It turned out to be Abby Williams.
