Chapter 212 House

"Bianca's been watching me closely lately, and the company just lost a major project, so I’m pretty busy. Let’s talk about it when I’m free."

Lydia nodded. “Okay, I’ll tell her that.”

Malcolm looked at Lydia with a complicated expression. “Lydia, you must help me keep the secret.”

Lydia smiled innocently, “Don’t worry, Dad. I know what to do!”

After Meryl discarded the flowers Malcolm sent, he sent bouquets for three days straight.

The entire company became aware of it within days due to its excessive and prominent nature.

Rumors were outrageous, with some claiming Meryl was favored by a particular boss pursuing her eagerly and others alleging a married man desired her as his mistress.

Meryl ignored these rumors, but Malcolm’s behavior successfully forced Meryl to contact him.

Malcolm, fresh from losing two collaborations, angrily threw cups in the office when he received the call.

Nothing had been going well lately. Malcolm was so upset that he had no appetite.

“Malcolm, you’re pretty old, right? Why do you do those gross things? Aren’t young guys supposed to send flowers?”

Malcolm was aware that his recent contract losses were tied to Chandler, who was attempting to exert pressure on him.

“Meryl, my dear daughter, if you ask Chandler to stop targeting my group, I promise that I will not send flowers to you starting tomorrow.”

Meryl sneered, “Your dear daughter? I have disowned you, so stop harassing me. If you send me flowers again, I’ll have to tell the tax bureau you’re avoiding tax payment.”

Malcolm panicked. “Don’t! By the way, Lydia and I have agreed that she will take you to handle the transfer since she’s free on Friday. The old manor can be transferred to you.”

“I’ve told you. I don’t want it anymore, and I’ve severed ties with the Stone family, so don’t contact me anymore!” Meryl said, prepared to hang up the phone.

Malcolm hurriedly said, “Meryl, don’t do this. Even if you are mad at me, don’t refuse the money. I know I was wrong. Do take back the manor! This Friday! It’s settled!”

Meryl was cruel. “Who made the agreement with you? Galaxy Holdings Group will hold its annual party on Friday, and the entire group will go to Griffore. I’m not in Kingsdom! I’m not available!”

Meryl’s attitude towards Malcolm was cold and ruthless.

Malcolm, though bitter, recognized Meryl’s anger as the cause of her coldness.

He aimed to win her favor through benefits, yet Meryl was so arrogant that she disdained the property offered.

Malcolm just couldn’t understand why there were people refusing money!

If Meryl accepted the manor, it signaled forgiveness. Malcolm could then discuss group affairs with her, pleading for Chandler’s mercy.

But Meryl refused, which made Malcolm feel troubled.

And he couldn’t make any requests.

Though there was no evidence of recent collaboration losses by Celestial Ventures Group being linked to Chandler, who else but Chandler would target them now?

After hanging up the phone, Meryl stood in the corridor and sighed.

In the trash can next to her were the lilies that had just been thrown away.

The janitor arrived just in time to clean the garbage, finding it pitiful to see a large batch of lilies discarded.

“You’ve been throwing away flowers for three days in a row. My house is full of flower arrangements. Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?”

The janitor picked up the flowers from the trash can again.

Meryl said casually, “Not my boyfriend. My biological father.”

The janitor was even more surprised. “Your father is quite a weirdo. Why would he send flowers to his daughter’s workplace?”

Meryl said in a mocking tone, “He’s strange, and he can’t see very well.”

The janitor sighed, “Does he have an eye disease?”

Meryl replied, “He’s blind.”

“Well…poor guy.”
