Jane stood outside the door and snorted before handing the keys to Patrick. She didn’t want to be so harsh, but Mike’s actions and his entitled attitude made her furious. Although Mike had been good to her in the past, helping her send Beatrice abroad, their relationship had always been strictly professional. Now, because of a child, he had done something she couldn’t accept.
Patrick understood this and didn’t scold her for it. The door opened quickly and they saw Mike sitting on the ground with sweat on his forehead and eyes downcast as he stared at Jane with cold eyes from below.
Mike was indignant that he had to bow down to a younger person like Jane; if this matter were leaked out, it would not only ruin his reputation but also destroy the good atmosphere that the Pansy family had built up over many years.
“Grandpa, are you okay?” Patrick rushed forward to help Mike stand up since he was stuck between them.
Mike spent the entire night shouting inside the door, but the soundproofing was so good that none of the servants heard him.
As a result, he sat in the corner of the door all night without falling asleep.
At this point, Mike was already exhausted, unwilling to lift his eyes, and just shook his head.
Patrick looked worried and had someone fetch a doctor.
“No need for a doctor,” Mike stopped him. “I know my own body.”
Then, he looked coldly at Jane and said, “Are you satisfied with what you see?”
“You treated me the same way, didn’t you?” Jane responded indifferently.
Mike fell silent, sighed, and recognized that both he and Jane were stubborn individuals who naturally disliked being controlled.
Thinking of the unborn child, Mike felt a wave of regret.
However, this completely deepened the conflict between the two.
“You’re already tired. Go back and rest,” Patrick tried to mediate and helped Mike back to bed.
Seeing Jane still standing at the door, Patrick approached her, coaxing, “You’re still ill, and your complexion worsens after this trip. Go back and rest.”
He carefully supported Jane, afraid that her body would become even weaker.
But due to Mike’s incident, Jane refused to look directly at Patrick and simply nodded before preparing to return to the bedroom.
“Wait.”
Just then, Mike’s voice reached their ears.
Patrick turned around, worried that the two might erupt into an argument.
He turned and met Mike’s helpless gaze.
“Take me abroad.”
As soon as these words were spoken, both Jane and Patrick’s pupils shrank.
Mike had unexpectedly suggested this, which was completely unlike his previous style.
“Really?” Patrick looked at Jane beside him, who remained silent.
Initially, Jane was unwilling to go along with this plan, but since Mike had brought it up himself, she didn’t feel right opposing it any further.
Mike knew well that he was getting old and that there were some things he couldn’t keep up with the thoughts of the younger generation.
Just like this incident, his stubbornness had led to the current outcome.
With old age, his mind wasn’t as sharp as before, and now his relationship with Jane had deteriorated. He didn’t know how many more conflicts would arise in the future.
Jane knew this reasoning very well. Beatrice could be sent abroad, but Mike was different from Beatrice.
After all, Mike had been in the business world for many years, with connections and status. His sudden departure would have an impact on the Pansy family.
Even though Mike had done what he had, she still had to carefully consider the matter from a perspective of interests.
“Yes,” Mike nodded, while Jane remained silent.
Since it was Mike’s own request, Patrick had no reason to object.
With this, Jane had no reason to refuse either.
She had already made Mike experience what she had gone through in the past. If he wanted to go abroad now, she didn’t care anymore.
Jane pursed her lips and left the room.
Patrick accompanied Jane and didn’t forget to book the plane tickets online.
However, with Mike leaving, the domestic company’s industry would have to be reorganized.
Although Patrick had been managing the company for these years, Mike still held a certain amount of shares, and many important matters still required his guidance.
Now that he was aging and about to embark on retired life abroad, they needed to carefully consider what should be done with these industries.
Patrick looked at the company matters on his phone and then glanced at Jane by his side.
“What’s wrong?” Jane noticed that Patrick had something on his mind, so she approached him and glanced at the documents on his phone.
On the screen, it prominently displayed the industries under Mike’s name, and upon seeing this, Jane’s long eyelashes trembled slightly.
“What is this?”
She looked through the files on the phone, and it was clearly a transfer of industry agreement.
“Since Grandpa is going abroad, the domestic industries will need to be reorganized.”
Jane nodded, somewhat indifferent. “Then what are you hesitating about? You’re his grandson, just transfer them to your name.”
“What would I do with these industries?” Patrick smiled. “These industries are the result of Mike’s hard work over the years. While they may not be comparable to a wealthy nation, they still generate an annual profit of over a hundred billion.”
As soon as he said that, Jane widened her eyes.
A hundred billion, that was not a small amount.
“So, what are you suggesting?”
“I’ve thought it through. Grandpa’s actions are unforgivable. Since he is going abroad, as compensation, all these industries will be transferred under your name.”
“Mine?”
Jane swallowed hard. This profit could rival Star Entertainment’s income over ten years.
“Yes, I’ll have the documents printed out later, and you just need to sign on them.”
Jane stood still in disbelief. “But does Mike agree to this?”
“He has enough retirement funds, and naturally, the industries will be transferred to my name. As for me transferring them to you, he won’t object.”
As soon as Patrick said that, his brow furrowed again.
“What’s wrong?”
After these days of recuperation, Jane’s complexion had regained some rosy color.
“It’s just that we should first visit the shareholders in the industries. But with me around, they won’t give you a hard time.”
Patrick smiled as he caressed Jane’s head, then went to print out the documents.
Soon, Mike signed the transfer agreement, and the documents were transferred to Jane’s room. Jane was amazed yet hesitant, but in the end, she signed her own name on them.
