Cherry blinked. âOkay!â
When Elder Mrs. Hunt heard this, she was stunned. âWait, what did you say?â
Could it be thatâ¦
âGrandfather Sponsor is Grandfather!â
Cherryâs words stunned Elder Mrs. Hunt even more. âHuh?â
Cherry explained word for word, âGrandpa is the Grandfather Sponsor, thatâs why he gave me so many gifts! Great Grandma, canât I accept everything Grandpa gives me as a gift in the future?â
The little girl looked up with a very serious expression. Her face was identical to Peteâs, but it was full of cunning and intelligence. She tilted her head. âIs that so?â
Elder Mrs. Huntâs heart gave a flip.
She wasnât belittling Ian on purpose. Rather, Cherry had never been as close to her as she was with Ian. Even when she spoke to her internet followers, she did so with great affection. And the way she talked to her Grandfatherly Sponsor was even sweeter.
She was his biological great-grandmother-how could she not compare herself to a fake grandfather?
In her panic, she had said those things on purpose to tell her that Ian didnât support her because he wanted Cherry to love her more. However, she hadnât expected to be slapped in the face!
She immediately said awkwardly, ââ¦Of course not. Ian is your grandfather and your last name is Smith. You can take whatever he gives you.â
âYes!â
Uncover new worlds at g alnov els ;com Cherry looked at her happily. âGreat Grandma, Grandpa is number 1 in my rankings. I think heâs right. Although my last name is Smith, I am also a member of the Hunts. Therefore, can you reach number 1 in my ranking too? It doesnât matter if you canât reach it, No. 2 is fine too!â
Elderly Mrs. Hunt: â!â
She immediately said, âOf course! Iâll rush to reach the #1 spot when I get back!â
With that, Elder Mrs. Hunt got up and left in a pitiful state.
After leaving the villa, Fanny couldnât help but smile. âLook at you. You always say you want to hand over the company to Miss Smith, but you canât just stand by and worry. Actually, Cherry and Nora are in a much better state than we imagined.â
Elder Mrs. Hunt sighed. âThe most important thing is that Nora was brought up in that pitiful state of family. I hear she didnât even go to school. When I think of this, I canât help but worry. Especially with Cherry. Look, compared to Pete, Cherry is much worse off. He doesnât even learn properly and play every day. Sheâs just like the brat Chesty. When she grows up, sheâll be useless too. Pete grew up next to Justin, so heâs different.â
At the mention of Justin, Elder Mrs. Hunt became a little wistful. âIf Justin were here, he could still correct Cherry and Xanderâs habits. But now that heâs gone, what can Nora do for the children? Will she make the children sleep every day?â
Fanny sighed quietly.
No matter how unwilling Elder Mrs. Hunt was, she kept saying, âActually, Nora is very smart. Although she seems lazy, she became a medical genius. If she were more diligent, she would not be much inferior to Justin.â
Fanny nodded. âMiss Smith is really smart. Look how sheâs handled the companyâs affairs this time. She is very beautiful. Besides, after Miss Smith took over the company, everything in the company continued to run smoothly. There were no accidents.â
Elderly Mrs. Hunt nodded again.
Then she said, âOkay, Iâm the one whoâs overthinking it. I keep thinking he canât do it, but heâs actually very capable. With the Smithsâ support, he wonât need any advice from an old lady in the future. All I can do is get her up every day to exercise and sleep less. Look at her â she sleeps so much that her body will collapse! When a person stays in bed for a long time, her bones become soft. Tomorrow weâll wake her up for physical exercises.â
Fanny nodded. âAll right. Mrs. Hunt, you are stubborn but soft-hearted. You are clearly concerned about Miss Smithâs health but find many reasons to hide it.â
Elder Mrs. Hunt did not speak and followed Fanny forward. âI cannot interfere in her affairs. All I can do is to correct her daily life, Heavens!â
Fanny repeated, âYou have done the right thing. Miss Smith is really pitiful. She had no mother from a very young age and grew up in that kind of a family. Iâve heard she often stayed cooped up at home when she was young. I guess she just slept because she had nothing to do. After all, sleeping is the best way to kill time. Ian is a father after all. He definitely canât say that his daughter is lazy, so no one criticized her after her return. Maybe he doesnât know that this state is really too decadent.â
Elder Mrs. Hunt nodded again.
Fanny continued, âFortunately, he met you. Now he treats her as his biological granddaughter. I donât think he cares as much for Miss Brenda as he does for Miss Smith.â
The old lady was even more pleased. âShe doesnât have a mother and the elders in the family canât interfere. Therefore, there are some things that only I can tell herâ¦â
As the two chatted, they suddenly bumped into a tall woman in a white robe approaching. It was clear she was heading for Justinâs villa.
Elderly Mrs. Hunt stopped in her tracks. âIsnât this Lily, the one who works with Nora?â
Lily stood still and nodded with a smile. âHello, Mrs. Hunt!â
Elder Mrs. Hunt frowned. âWhy are you here?â
Lily explained, âI came to see how the boss is doing.â
Elder Mrs. Hunt instantly felt she had found a close friend. âYes, go have a quick look around. She doesnât seem to have enough energy â let me tell you, itâs definitely because she sleeps ten hours a day! This is for realâ¦â
He had slept too much, causing his health to deteriorate. Before he could finish, Lily nodded. âYes, youâre right! I donât know whatâs wrong with the Chief lately. She sleeps ten hours a day. This is really bad for her health!â
Elder Mrs. Hunt said, âThen she should train more. She sleeps too muchâ¦â
Before she could say the word âtoo muchâ, Lily interrupted her indignantly. âYes, youâre right. He sleeps too little.â
Elderly Mrs. Hunt â????â
