Chapter6
In the suburban cemetery,
Lionel took a bunch of white roses and went to see his mother.
The photo on the tombstone was a little yellowed, and the woman was smiling. She was not yet thirty years old, which should have been the best years for a woman.
His mother's life was ruined by the Johnson Family , and after leaving this world, she did not even enter the Johnson Family cemetery.
Lionel stayed in the cemetery for an afternoon and left at dusk.
Arlen waited outside the cemetery for a long time, and only came forward with his mobile phone when Lionel came out: " Mr Michelson , Steward called many times and asked you to have dinner tonight."
"Address." Lionel 's voice was cold.
"At the International Hotel." Arlen has been with Lionel for many years, and knows Lionel 's style. He can predict Lionel's next problem, so he has already understood everything clearly.
"No, let Steward hold the dinner at the Johnson Family , I can consider it."
...
People from the Johnson Family have been waiting at the door for a long time, and Nydia stood at the end of the crowd.
The Johnson Family 's manor is majestic, like a prison. The darkness of human nature hidden under the glamor makes people feel suffocated.
The original appointment was at eight o'clock, but Lionel 's car arrived late at ten o'clock.
After waiting in the wind for two hours, many people in the Johnson Family complained.
Steward personally opened the car door for
Lionel : "Please come in." Nydia looked at the tall figure in the night. If she had known that this man would come earlier, she should have found an excuse to get out.
Lionel is nearly 1.9 meters tall, standing there like an unattainable god, while the others are just mortals, and they are not in the same world as him.
This is the first time Lionel has returned to the Johnson Family since he left the Johnson Family at the age of fourteen .
When he was brought back to the Johnson Family by his mother when he was a child, everyone scolded him for being an illegitimate child. The younger generations who were no younger than two years younger than him also made him learn to crawl and bark like a dog and let him live in a doghouse.
There was even a time when Steward was on a business trip, and the Johnson Family didn't give him food for a week. They would rather throw away the leftovers or feed them to the dogs than give him a bite.
At that time, fortunately, he met a little girl.
The little girl sent him meals for a week in a row, and she would arrange the dishes into some words, which were simple words of encouragement.
Although he had never seen the girl's appearance, Lionel knew that she must be a beautiful girl.
And he also put the only relic left by his mother in a clean lunch box and gave it to her.
This time he came back, in addition to sweeping his mother's grave and the Johnson Family's arrogance for so many years, he also wanted to find this girl.
Pulling back his thoughts, Lionel saw the woman who was staring at him outside the crowd.
Nydia had an ordinary face, but her eyes were very beautiful.
"Niece-in-law, come here." Lionel waved his hand.
In an instant, everyone looked at Nydia .
Nydia had to bite the bullet and walked to Lionel 's side. She called out lightly: " Uncle ."
Lionel waved his hand, and Arlen next to him immediately brought something up. It was in a precious box, like a scroll.
"A gift for my niece's wife."
Steward was stunned. This was the original painting of Master Zhang that was bought by a mysterious person for 200 million dollars at the last auction. He didn't try to steal it from the owner at that time.
Who would have thought that this painting was bought by
Lionel ? Steward quickly asked his son to take it: "Why don't you thank your uncle for the wedding gift for you!"
Alfred took it, but Arlen didn't give it to him: " Mr Johnson said that this is for Miss Michelson ."
Nydia didn't move. She knew that the things inside were very valuable, and she also knew what
Lionel meant. It was something that happened last night, and he wanted to solve it with money.
" Nydia , why don't you take it?" Steward urged.
If it was really that painting, he would find a way to get it from
Nydia later. With so many people staring at her, Nydia had no choice at all. Anyway, Lionel must have given her a lot, so she took it generously: "Thank you , uncle Lionel ."
Lionel nodded slightly, and then was surrounded and walked in.
The Johnson Family had already prepared a grand dinner, waiting for Lionel to come.
" Lionel, you haven't been home for a long time, I've asked someone to clean up the room, it's more comfortable to live at home."
Lionel paused and looked at the doghouse over there.
The doghouse now is different from what it was more than ten years ago. Rather than calling it a doghouse, it's actually a house for the dog. It's not small, and it's no problem for one person to sleep there.
He once lived there for half a month.
Lionel opened his thin lips slightly, and his pupils were full of ice: "I think the doghouse over there seems to be good, don't you think so, brother?"
In an instant, Steward broke out in a cold sweat. When Lionel was in his teens, he had someone drive Lionel there to sleep.
What does
Lionel mean? "Yes... yes, I think it's good too."
"Since you think it's good, why don't you sleep there tonight?"
Steward's face changed. He is the head of the Johnson Family . If he sleeps in the doghouse, it will be a joke if this matter gets out. However, before he opened his mouth,
Alfred on the side had already scolded him.
"Why? If you like it, why don't you go to bed? Who do you think you are to make my dad sleep in a doghouse?"
Alfred was already uncomfortable because of the engagement today, and now Lionel is humiliating him. Alfred couldn't stand it.
Alfred hadn't taken over the Johnson Family company yet, and didn't know the current situation of the Johnson Family . He didn't know why his father was so scared of him, just an
uncle . He wasn't afraid of Lionel !
"Shut up!" Steward scolded.
