Chapter 17

Grandmother Sue left her home! She seemed to be heading to Godfrey's house! When the news spread within the Sue family, every relative was shocked beyond words. For many years, the old lady would never visit the places her children lived in. She even said before that they could only ask her to visit their house if they were qualified to live in the Cloudridge Hill Villas. "Really?" "Is Grandma really going to Yvonne's house?" "That can’t be, right? Who was it that spread the rumor? That can’t be possible!" The WeChat group containing the Sue family’s younger generation erupted with liveliness. Everyone voiced out their disbelief. However, when a picture of an old lady getting off the car was posted to the group, it became quiet all of a sudden. They all knew that Grandma's visit was considered a huge show of respect toward Yvonne. It was all but certain that Harvey's position in the company would be affected. After learning about that, Godfrey and Lydia were so shocked that they remained speechless for a very long time. They thought it was impossible for the old lady to come over and they never expected her to actually come forward. The cooperation with Weakriver Real Estate was very important to the Sue family. Whether or not the family was able to squeeze into their status as Cloud City’s first-rate family depends on how well they grasped that opportunity. The old lady’s greatest lifetime wish was that the Sue family could live in the Cloudridge Hill villa area while she was still alive. When she heard that Yvonne was ill, she was as anxious as ants on top of a hot pan, because there would be no way to repair the situation if Liam found another partner. She, therefore, had to come and visit Yvonne in person to be at ease. The old lady was very old and climbing the stairs nearly took her life away. Godfrey and Lydia had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as they saw the old lady, they immediately hurried forward to help. "Mom, why are you here in person? You can just call if something’s the matter. We’ll go and visit you," Godfrey said. "That’s right, Mom. Just call us if something is up," Lydia echoed. The old lady was out of breath and her face paled from exhaustion. "I'm here to see Yvonne. I heard she’s sick," the old lady said. Godfrey was much taken aback by it. Yvonne was simply pretending to be sick and they would be done for if the old lady found out! He glared fiercely at Samuel because it was Samuel’s atrocious idea.   Samuel seemed nonchalant and poured the old lady a glass of water after inviting her in. Unfortunately, the old lady did not even get a chance to look at him. "Where’s Yvonne?" the old lady asked after sitting on the sofa. "She’s sick. She’s staying in the room now so she won’t infect you," Lydia said. "She’s not sick," Samuel remarked all of a sudden.  A surprising turn of events! Samuel’s words practically made Godfrey and Lydia pee their pants. They tried their best to conceal it but Samuel went and admitted it all by himself. "What nonsense are you talking about, Samuel? Yvonne is obviously sick." Lydia looked at Samuel angrily. It was none other than Samuel who suggested for Yvonne to feign her illness, yet he voluntarily admitted that she was pretending to be sick. His actions were jeopardizing them! "Mom, don't listen to Samuel's nonsense. He doesn't know anything," Godfrey uttered in a panic.
