Chapter 249: Chapter 249

"I want you gone." Grace pounded on the nightstand, her entire body shaking with rage.

"Mum, don’t get riled up; just cool it."

"Get out! Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I want you two to leave now!" Grace screamed with all her might.

Worried that this would only worsen her condition, Attlee started to get up, pulling Yolanda with him. "Alright, you rest up; we’ll come see you in a few days."

"Get out!" Grace was so angry that she was nearly voiceless, her body shaking violently. After they left, she realized her face was wet.

She laughed bitterly at herself. She never imagined she’d end up so alone in her old age. Blood ties didn’t mean squat.

She slowly took out a phone from underneath her pillow, checked her recent call records, and dialed Rosemary, just wanting to hear the young girl’s voice. "Granny, what’s wrong?" Rosemary could tell something was off from her voice: "Are you feeling down?"

"Not really; I just miss you. What are you up to?"

Rosemary paused what she was doing, glanced at the massager on her table, and said gently, "Nothing much, just some work-related stuff."

"Don’t work too hard; remember to rest. By the way, when’s my surgery?" She was getting anxious.

"In three days."

"Three days, huh?" Touching her chest, Grace repeated the date, unsure if she could make it. These past few days, Attlee had enraged her to the point where her heart was constantly hurting and she was having difficulty breathing.

Mistaking her concern for the success rate of the surgery, Rosemary smiled gently and said, "Don’t worry, Granny. As long as the surgery is successful, you’ll be much stronger. Just focus on recuperating; I promise you’ll live to be a hundred."

Grace laughed, saying, "Why would I want to live that long? I’d be content just to see you get married."

"Granny, don’t say that; we’ll get through the tough times." Rosemary had saved her life countless times when she was hanging by a thread. "It’s just a minor operation; you rest easy. When you wake up, everything will be better."

"Okay, I trust you; I’ll rest easy." Grace said with a laugh, showing great trust in Rosemary’s medical skills. "By the way, when I get out of the hospital, I want to move to that house in the suburbs." She no longer wanted to see Attlee and the others.

"Alright, I’ll have it cleaned up."

"After I’ve recovered a bit, arrange a meeting with your parents. I want to talk to them face-to-face."

"Sure, no problem."

"You carry on; I need to rest."

"Okay, bye, Granny."

After hanging up, Rosemary looked at Jack and said, "Check if Attlee went to the hospital today."

"Did something happen to the old lady?"

"No." Rosemary just thought her voice sounded a bit down and wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with Attlee. "Also, have Caden check on her to see if she’s feeling unwell."

"Alright." After completing the task, Jack reported back, "Boss, Attlee did go to the hospital today with Olga and Yolanda. I guess they were there to visit a patient!"

"What did Caden say?"

"He said the old lady’s mood has been a bit up and down, but there’s nothing majorly wrong with her. Probably pissed off by those three numbskulls."

"Do we still have those miniature surveillance devices we used before?"

"Boss, are you planning to install surveillance in the hospital room?" Jack immediately caught on, saying, "We should have done this ages ago."

"I’m on it!"

After a while, Jack found the last miniature surveillance device. It was developed by Rosemary a long time ago and looked like a grain of rice, so it’s virtually invisible no matter where they stuck it.

"Boss, this is the last one. Here you go."

"I’m headed to the hospital tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled here."

"You got it."

Meanwhile, Olga, waiting in the hallway, saw Attlee and Yolanda coming out of the room and couldn’t help but ask, "What happened? You’re out already? What did the old lady say? How much is she giving us?"

"Drop it." Attlee looked like he had lost all his mojo.

"So, the old hag still won’t cough up a dime, huh?" Olga asked, then noticed a wound on his forehead: "What happened to your head?"

"Mom, you wouldn’t believe it. Grandma threw a massive fit and hit Dad in the head. Even when we were on our knees begging, she still wouldn’t change her will."

"That old bag!" Olga cursed in her mind, "I’ll go talk to her."

"Don’t." Attlee grabbed her hand and was about to say something when his phone rang.

"Hello? What? The Collins family again? Why do they keep targeting us?"

After hanging up, Attlee couldn’t figure out why the Collins family kept coming at them. The Harris family wasn’t even a threat to the Collins! Why were they so hell-bent on messing with them?

"What happened?" Olga couldn’t help asking, "What did the Collins do this time?"

"Ever since the Collins sent us a warning, almost all of our material suppliers have refused to work with us. We haven’t had new stock in ages!"

"Though we still have some inventory and some old orders in production, a bunch of manufacturers called today saying they won’t work with us anymore and to stop production. It took us a while to find out that it’s the Collins pulling the strings."

"Also, many of the malls that our brick-and-mortar stores are located in are forcing us out, even offering compensation for breaking the lease. And for our leases that are about to expire, they’re not planning on renewing unless we’re willing to pay ten times the rent."

"Ten times? Why don’t they just rob us?" Olga couldn’t believe it.

"Also, all our loyal customers are gone."

"And our employees. The word is that if they go to any of the Collins’ subsidiaries, they get double the salary and even double the vacation days. Now a lot of them are suddenly quitting."

"Could it be because of what happened last time?" Olga suddenly remembered how they had blocked Kenneth and Louisa at the Dawn Restaurant, and Louisa didn’t look happy. Could that be why the Collins have intensified their attacks on the Harris family?

"Now we’re under multiple pressures, and we heard that there’s an insider leaking our secrets," Attlee said, anxious and at a loss. "Now our capital chain is broken again, and if we don’t fix it, the Harris family is really going to go belly up."
