Hearing that his grandson was bullied by the servants, Madam Blake was furious. âHow dare they?â
Then, she let out a long sigh. âSighâ¦â Human nature! He was a silly young master. He didnât have his own family taking care of him, so people would secretly bully him. âPreston, come. Let Grandma take a look.â She immediately called out to Preston. Six years ago, after Prestonâs car accident, he was treated for a long time in the hospital. Later, when he was discharged from the hospital and returned to Blake Residence, Preston refused to live there no matter what. That was why Lianne brought Preston to live in a villa in the suburbs. She did not expect him to be bullied by the servants. Grandma.â Still acting like a fool, Preston leaned over and hugged his grandmotherâs Jeg Madam Blakeâs eyes immédiately turned red. She gently patted Prestonâs back. âGood child, itâs good that youâre back. Iâm glad. Live well at home in the future and accompany me. Iâll watch over you.â In the past, Preston refused to stay in Blake Residence no matter what. Now that he was willing to come back, she was naturally happy. Her grandson had been pampered by her ever since she was young. Even if he was stupid now, she still loved him. It was just that her heart ached for him. âGrandma, jump, jump!â Preston said.
Madam Blake didnât understand, so she looked at Lianne. Lianne explained, âPrestonâs current IQ level is equivalent to a childâs. He likes to jump, play with sand, and play mobile games.â Madam Blake touched Prestonâs head with sadly. âOkay, then jump. Iâll do whatever you want.â Preston then pulled Madam Blake. Lianne immediately stopped him. âPreston, donât pull Grandma. Grandma is old and canât jump anymore. Donât ask others to jump with you in the future, okay? Iâll call Haley over and take care of you. âLina, jump!â Preston said. âAlright, Iâll jump.â Lianne put down her bag and accompanied Preston to do the froggy jump in the living room. Preston counted. He counted from 1 to 19, then jumped straight to 30. From 30, he counted to 39, then jumped straight to 50. Then, he counted backward from 20. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a complete fool.
Preston knew that the news of his return would definitely reach Jaredâs ears immediately. Sure enough, in less than forty minutes, Jared returned to the house. âIs he staying here from now on?â Jared asked Lianne. âYes,â Lianne answered. âItâs good that heâs back. Just take good care of him and donât go looking for Annalise to treat him anymore. If he wants to play mobile games, just download it for him,â
Járed said. âOkay,â Lianne replied. Jared looked at Lianne in surprise. Clearly, he did not expect her to agree. Lianneâs heart ached as she said helplessly, âPreston was living alone in the villa. The servants bullied him when I wasnât around. Heâs been seeing Annalise for so long. Forget it, I wonât bring him to see her anymore. Iâm fine as long as Prestonâs happy.â âOkay,â Jared replied. He was relieved that Lianne could think this way. It saved him from worrying that Preston would wake up.
Preston used to work at Blake Corporation, and he was quite capable. Once he woke up, the old woman would definitely hand over the shares to him. Preston would become Blake Corporationâs largest shareholder then. âWhy are you back so early?â Madam Blake asked. It was very obvious that she was unhappy. His grandson had become a fool due to an accident. Was there still a need for Jared to be so guarded? âThereâs nothing much to do at the company today, so I came back early,â said Jared. He was busy arranging other things today. He had already asked around and made arrangements. Lucy would buy the medicine every five days. Tomorrow, she would buy the medicine again. At the pharmacy, he had bribed the person who prepared the medicine. When Lucy went over, the person who prepared the medicine would use substitutes. The substitutes looked very similar to the real thing, but the medicinal properties were completely different. In Doctor Darrenâs words, the dosage should not be too heavy. Older peopleâs immunity system was poor. It would not take long for them to die of natural causes after eating the substitute medicines. âOkay,â Madam Blake replied.
Preston ignored Jared and continued doing froggy jump on the ground. Seeing that Preston still looked like a fool and did not improve at all, Jared was relieved and said, âLucy, Preston is staying here from now on. Get the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes later. Lianne, tell the kitchen what you want to eat.â Lianne said nothing. She had had enough of Jaredâs hypocrisy. Madam Blake knew that her granddaughter felt aggrieved. Who wouldnât feel aggrieved? She said, âYou donât have to arrange these things. I wonât mistreat my grandson from a legitimate bloodline.â She was reminding Jared that even if Preston was stupid, he still had a place in her heart. âMom, youâre treating me like an outsider. What era are we in now? Thereâs no need to differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate grandsons.
Whether itâs Preston or Adam, theyâre all my children. Theyâre all your grandchildren,â Jared said.
Madam Blake did not want to bother with Jared and handed her hand to Lianne. âLina, come. Iâll bring you to the backyard to take a look at the plum blossoms. Itâs going to snow tomorrow. The plum blossoms will look even more beautiful with snow.â âOkay,â Lianne replied. Jared frowned. Madam Blake was telling Lianne to be as special as a plum blossom with snow on it. He really did not understand what Madam Blake was thinking. If Lianne was a boy, he could understand why she valued her, but she was just a girl. Could she even inherit Blake Corporation? When he was free, he had to talk to the old lady. Giving the shares to Lianne was equivalent to giving the shares to outsiders. Forget it. There was nothing to say. The old woman didnât have long to live anyway.
With this thought in mind, Jared sat down on the couch and made a call âCome over for dinner tonight.
Take it as a welcome party for Preston. Preston will be living with us in the future.â No matter what, he had to pretend that he cared. That night, Michelle, Adam, and Mia all arrived. They were all very polite to Preston and even showed great sympathy. Seeing that Preston was still stupid, they were relieved.
Adam felt that his father was really making a mountain out of a molehill by giving them strict requirements. No matter how lazy and playful he was, how could he not be better than a fool? As long as his grandmother was not stupid, she knew that she should hand Blake Corporation to him. The next day. Lucy went to buy the medicine. As usual, she bought enough for three days.
After she came back, she kept comparing them. Lucy did not know much about traditional medicine.
She made the comparisons based on pictures. After Mr. Woods gave her the prescription, she asked Jonathan to verify the medicine one by one after she bought them for the first time. She had taken photos of the medicines too. After that, every time she bought the medicines, she would compare them to the photos. As Lucy checked the traditional medicine, she muttered, âPanax notoginseng, dried gingerâ¦â After verifying everything, she frowned again. She took the Gynura segetum, then compared it with the Panax notoginseng in the photo. She muttered, âWhy is the color a little different?â
