Chapter 62

Riley’s palm was gently clenched into a fist under the blanket, “Euan, I had said that we are just colleagues, he is just my leader.”

A tint of cold aura was shown on Euan's face, “If that’s the case, it seems that it has nothing to do with you no matter how I treat him.”

He would do what he had said. He would do something cruel if he wanted to do it to William, “Leave him alone. I’ve come back as you wished.

Shouldn’t you let him go since you have achieved your goal?”

Thinking of her cuddled in William’s arms, Euan wanted him to be gone forever!

“Huh!” He hummed coldly to show his disdain and anger.

Since retreating was not the way, then maybe she should change her way to deal with it, “If you want to do it, then do it. You don’t have to threaten me with this anymore.”

Euan hated that Riley could easily make him angry with such a simple and careless attitude.

A monotonous ringtone rang from the phone, breaking the awkward atmosphere between them. Only Euan still used such old fashioned mobile phone ringtone.

Euan frowned. He took his phone and went to the balcony in the ward. Then he answered.

He was holding the mobile phone with some strength with his long fingers. From Riley’s angle of view, she could see the handsome side view of his face and heard his piercing cold voice.

“Speak.”

Riley trembled when he said that.

“What about the Watsons?”

Watsons? Was the Watsons he mentioned just now her family?

Riley tried to pay more attention to listen clearly, but Euan moved to the edge of the balcony and pulled up the glass door with his long arm.

The voices were completely cut off by the transparent glass door.

Euan did not move a bit. Even his gesture of holding the phone did not change. The fingers on his other hand were tapping on the balcony fence rhythmically.

Riley felt suspicious. Euan mentioned the Watson family. Had anything happened to the Watson family? Was it about their business? Or was it about other matters?

The Watson’s business condition had been bad. Freya and Lauren had directly asked for money, not just once or twice. Was there a greater problem now?

After cracking her head about the matter for some time, Euan was back after finishing the call.

Riley pretended that she did not hear anything, and Euan did not mention anything either, “We’ll rest here today and go back to JD city tomorrow.”

Those were the last words that Euan had said to her in the next two hours because Euan had left after that and a female nurse was guarding in the ward.

Both of them stared at each other. Riley could just take out her phone and scroll it.

When she tapped and opened her WeChat, Riley sent a crying emoji to Sarah.

“My dear, you are online at last! Why can’t I get through when I call you? I saw that you were sent to the AIDS village by the hospital. Damn, have your superior in the hospital lost his mind!”

Well...

From the words, Riley could imagine Sarah’s exaggerating and fierce gestures when she said that.

“It might be because there’s no signal in the mountain village. I’m now in some other place, and I’ll be back to JD city tomorrow.”

“Great! That is good news! It’s good that you have left that place! My God, I was scared to death!”

“There’s another bad news. I was unfortunately injured while performing a treatment. I’m lying in the hospital now, needing some care. Remember to bring me some chicken bone soup and turtle soup that your mom made.”

“Fuck! Where are you now? I’ll go and meet you now. Is your injury serious? Is anyone accompanying you?”

Riley chuckled, “Yes...but...”

“But what? What do you mean?”

“It’s Euan...”

That end of the call was silent for some time, and Sarah was obviously calmer and not as exaggerating as before. She was obedient again, “Hmm, I’ll bring you the soup later. You should rest. Take care.”

That lass! She definitely couldn’t be her backup in critical moments.

What was more unfortunate was that the call from the George’s mansion came in about an hour later!

Seeing that the call was from the George’s mansion, Riley almost threw her phone away. The call from the mansion would be either from Anika or Jakub. Both of them were people who she did not dare to provoke.

After calming down and taking a few deep breaths, she answered the call, “Hello...”

Riley grasped on the blanket nervously as she quietly waited for the person from the other side to speak. Finally, a voice came in after she waited for a while.

“It’s me.”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Jakub’s firm voice was heard. Riley almost fell off the bed. She used all her might to hold the phone still. Her palm was drenched with sweat.

“Dad...Is there anything you want to talk to me about?”

Riley lowered her voice subconsciously. That was the first time she received a phone call from her father-in-law since she and Euan got married. The nervousness and pressure that she was experiencing at that moment were obvious.

At that moment, Jakub was in the study in the George’s mansion. The stratagem and profundity that he had accumulated from his business life all these years could be seen in his unpredictable eyes. Hendrix was like a kid standing in front of his work desk made from Phoebe Zhennan wood.

There was not just a difference in age between Hendrix and Jakub.

“Did Hendrix do anything recently?”

Huh?

Jakub called her just to speak about Hendrix? Riley was in a dilemma. Should she tell Jakub as Hendrix’s sister-in-law?

Thinking about it, she felt that she should not tell him. If what Hendrix had done was known by Jakub, he would be beaten even if Jakub loved him most.

Riley said with a gentle chuckle, “Dad, Hendrix had just returned to this country. We had not met frequently. I’m not very sure about his life.”

Hendrix, who was standing at a corner was silently thanking his sister-in-law. “Riley, you’re the best sister-in-law!’

Hendrix took a deep breath. He felt like he had escaped death.

However, Jakub was not someone who would easily be deceived, “You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the George’s family. You’ll be managing the whole George family in the future. Hiding and tolerating the mistakes are not good for you or anyone in our George’s family.”

“Dad...I know what you mean, but ...I’m not sure about what happened. Why don’t you ask Hendrix personally?”

Breathe, breathe, breathe. Relax.

Jakub looked at Hendrix. His stare was fierce, and he continued asking, “Tell me the truth, don’t make me repeat the question!”

Riley clenched on her teeth, so did Hendrix.

Confrontation, silence, and the tense atmosphere surrounded them.

Riley was in a tensed condition. Would Hendrix be beaten to death if she told him?

Hendrix’s act could be taken as a misdeed to her, his sister-in-law.

Damn, these really made her upset.

“Dad, I was not calm enough and caused what happened at the party. It had nothing to do with Riley.”

“Did I ask you to speak?”

Riley was dumbfounded. The father and son were undergoing a confrontation, and he was asking her to be the third party? It was the way the George family deal with things.

So, it was about the party...

It seemed that the Old Master of the George family had known about the matter. Of course, there were many people present that day, and the business circle was so small that news spread fast.

“Dad, I accidentally fell into the swimming pool that day. Hendrix was just trying to save me. Don’t be angry or blame him.”

“I am teaching my son a lesson. You are not qualified to give me advice.”

The word made Riley feel embarrassed. Yes, who was she to give him advice?

“It seems that it was Hendrix’s fault. Okay.”

Just as Jakub was putting down the phone after he finished his words, the word he was saying to Hendrix was heard. He was cruel and resolute as if he was not a father but an enemy.

“Kneel!”

That shocked Riley, and she dropped the phone she was holding. It fell to the ground from the bed with a bang.

What would Jakub do to Hendrix? Would he kill him, punish him or shoot him?

Just as Riley was thinking about the way that the boss of a gang would treat his men who had betrayed him, a tall figure stood in front of her bed. She stared at her phone, it stopped beside the black shining shoes. She looked up and saw Euan’s cold face.

“Are you a ghost? Don’t you sound when you walk? It’s scary!”

“It is because you are guilty.”

Knowing that it was useless speaking to him since Riley’s drip was empty, so she wanted to get down and pick up her phone. Unexpectedly, Euan kicked her phone to a two-meter distance away with just a light kick.

Riley was annoyed!

“Euan, what’s wrong with you? Why are you throwing your anger on a phone? Pick it up!”

She might be too bold, asking Euan to pick up the phone for her. The moment she finished her sentence, she bit on her lips. Shit, she must have lost her mind.

Euan sat on the sofa. He did not explain why he left suddenly just now. He just glanced at his Patek Philippe watch on his wrist and said, “We’ll leave in an hour and go back to JD city tonight.”

Riley was speechless.

The plan was always changing, and he always planned according to his mood and time.

“Whatever!”

Riley laid down, annoyed. She was injured both on her body and soul. She was even frightened. She just felt like throwing her anger on someone.

“Didn’t you hear me? He’ll leave in an hour.”

“I’m not deaf. I hear you.”

“Get up then, if you hear me.”

Riley was speechless again. Didn’t he just say they would leave in an hour?

Riley was dragged up by Euan and was carried away directly by him too, of course.

Naturally, after taking her away, the phone was sent over by the nurse.

Riley didn’t expect that they would have dinner before departing...

Sitting on the dining table face to face with Euan, Riley held onto her chopstick and ate slowly as she silently glanced at Euan.

Euan was eating the food and drinking the soup elegantly. He seemed to be eating slowly and was not in rush.

“Euan, why are we going back so suddenly? What happened?”

Riley was feeling uneasy. Euan had mentioned the Watson family in his call, and Jakub had asked what Hendrix had done. It was all like a prelude before a disaster.

Unexpectedly, Euan brushed Riley off coldly, “Do not talk while eating.”

It was all bullshit about not speaking while eating. He used to force her to answer his questions and taught her lessons on the dining table, which made her speechless!

Ah! Why did she have to always think about all of that?

After dinner, Euan picked her up and took her to the helicopter. The helicopter took them to JD city along with her worries and doubts.

They arrived at JD city at about eight at night. Riley thought Euan would send her to the hospital, but unexpectedly the black Rolls Royce went directly to the YJ villa.

Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant Chapter 61 Flying in the Sky with Him Mistaken Identity Chapter 73: Empire State Building Shouldn't Have Kissed You Chapter 51: Epilogue Riley sighed silently. She was back again!

Euan was definitely someone who did things instead of saying. He carried her to the bedroom on the second floor and ordered her to lay down.

“Do you think I have a better choice other than lying down?”

Euan ignored her. After a while, Dr. Rose, the private doctor of the George’s family came and carefully examined Riley. Dr. Rose was a general practitioner in a well-known general hospital in the United States. She was expertise in both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine and had excellent medical skills.

“How is her condition?”

Dr. Rose nodded, “The injury on her arm needs a good rest, but... there’s something that I don’t know if I should say.”

Riley and Euan frowned. Euan glanced at Riley then said, “Please say.”

“No! Dr. Rose, I’m also a doctor. Everyone has some small problem with their body. I’ll pay attention to it in the future! Dr. Rose, thank you very much.

It’s very late now. I’ll ask the driver to send you home.”

Euan glared at her coldly and continued asking, “Say it. Tell the truth.”

What was she trying to hide? He, Euan must know about it!
