Chapter 1811: 436: Always high-profile, never knows to restrain!_5

"It better be," the man narrowed his handsome phoenix eyes.

Elder Si bowed even lower, "I wouldn’t dare deceive you."

The man who had been sitting there, upon hearing this, instantly teleported over and grabbed Elder Si’s neck, "If I find out you’re lying to me, consider the consequences."

Elder Si was so terrified that he turned pale and couldn’t utter a word.

Seeing this, Barton Turner immediately knelt down, "Sir, my grandfather is old and may be confused at times. If he said something wrong, please don’t hold it against him."

The man looked down at Barton Turner, "Not hold it against him, but hold it against you?"

Barton Turner kept his head lowered and dared not say a word.

A moment passed, and the man let go of Elder Si.

Thud.

Elder Si fell to the ground, gasping for air.

Barton Turner immediately went to help Elder Si up, "Grandfather, are you all right?"

"I’m fine," Elder Si said, hand on his chest.

When Barton Turner looked up again, the man had already disappeared from the air.

Sigh—

Barton Turner breathed a sigh of relief.

Elder Si also breathed a sigh of relief, "I have no idea what sort of grudge Gemma has against him."

Barton Turner narrowed his eyes, "She’s always been high-profile and lacks restraint. I thought it was only in front of ordinary people but to think she’s offended Mr. Jade too."

Was Mr. Jade someone she could afford to offend?

Barton Turner was very angry.

If it weren’t for Gemma offending Mr. Jade,

he wouldn’t have come here today to settle accounts.

Elder Si was also profoundly disappointed in Gemma.

He had thought Gemma was a talent worth cultivating.

But she turned out to be so arrogant.

Although she was capable, she still couldn’t match up to a true member of the Si Family in terms of intellect and strategy.

Picked up is just picked up.

No matter how much you nurture them, they lack the grace of a great family.

Elder Si squinted and then said, "Barton, come to the Laboratory tomorrow."

"Of course, Grandfather," upon hearing this, Barton Turner’s eyes shone with excitement.

After such a long time, grandfather was finally willing to let him into the Laboratory.

In the past, with Gemma there, he could forget about setting foot in the Laboratory.

Seeing Barton Turner like this, Elder Si sighed softly, "Remember to take precautions."

He hadn’t allowed Barton Turner into the Laboratory because the radiation inside was too intense.

Even those who practiced ancient martial arts couldn’t endure it.

Even though Gemma also carried the Si surname, she was never truly a Si Family member.

He wanted to protect Barton Turner, to let her be a happy and joyful Si Family young miss.

But Barton Turner didn’t understand his painstaking efforts.

Viola Thompson brought Sweetie to the Laboratory.

Vivian was very surprised when she saw Sweetie, "Wow! She’s so cute! Boss, is she a relative of yours?"

Without further explanation, Viola smiled and nodded, "Her name is Sweetie, a younger sister from home."

"No wonder she is so pretty!"

Sweetie looked at Vivian, "Thank you for the compliment, beautiful. Just call me Sweetie."

Being called beautiful made anyone happy, and Vivian smiled very joyfully.

Viola continued, "I have a meeting to attend in a bit, can you take care of Sweetie for me?"

Vivian nodded, "Sure."

As she said that, Vivian reached out her hand to Sweetie, "Let’s go, Sweetie."

Sweetie followed Vivian’s steps.

Viola’s phone buzzed.

It was a message from Terrence Lentz, "[Whose child is this?]"

The corners of Viola’s mouth lifted slightly, Terrence Lentz only noticed the extra child now?

His reflex arc was too long.

"[I just met her today, but it seems like she mistook someone for someone else.]"
