Married the Sick Uncle – Just Waiting to Inherit His Fortune

’That President Sterling is clearly no good!’

Grace had a very poor impression of President Sterling.

He was old enough to be the girl’s father, yet he was bullying her. What’s worse, he even filmed it. Now the video had been uncovered, and the woman had gone online to expose him.

Charles Prescott said, ”Call the police.”

Grace was a bit surprised. ”But didn’t you just say...”

Charles Prescott said, ”Isn’t calling the police helping him right now? If he’s being framed, his name will be cleared. Of course, if he’s not, he should face the consequences.”

Charles Prescott wasn’t stupid. He could see that Ethan Linden was now targeting the people around him.

He must have disliked President Sterling for a long time, which was why he seized this opportunity.

If he defended President Sterling now, he might get dragged down with him later.

The most important thing right now was the company’s image.

Charles Prescott continued to instruct Grace, ”Notify the PR department. Have them handle the news online.”

Grace nodded. ”Okay.” Then she went to take care of it.

...

Nathan Fawcett and Anne Sutton had arrived home. She sat to one side while Nathan had someone prepare food for her and then brought it to her.

Anne Sutton said, ”I don’t have an appetite.”

Nathan Fawcett looked at her and said, ”Do you want me to feed you?”

He watched her with a serious expression, as if he really would feed her if she didn’t start eating.

Anne Sutton was very embarrassed and had no choice but to pick up her chopsticks.

Nathan Fawcett sat beside her, watched her, and said, ”From now on, if anything happens with the family, tell me directly. I don’t want to see you going to Charles Prescott.”

Anne Sutton said, ”I didn’t go looking for him. He just happened to be at the hospital when the incident occurred today. I hit someone, and he even went to plead my case with the hospital director. I only found out about it later. I don’t know what’s gotten into him lately!”

Ever since Ethan Linden came back, he’s been deliberately nice to her in front of him.

’And he clearly wanted to get engaged to Mia Shaw before!’

Nathan Fawcett listened to her without a word. After a moment of silence, he said, ”When something happens, why don’t you tell me?”

Before, when she first met him, she would go to him for everything.

But now...

Anne Sutton looked at Nathan Fawcett and said, ”You’re so busy, how could I bother you? Besides... when you’re not around, I have to face these things myself. You’ll have to leave eventually. I can’t rely on you too much.”

Nathan Fawcett looked at Anne Sutton and said, ”I really don’t know how you’d manage without me.”

Hearing Nathan Fawcett’s words, Anne Sutton felt a little awkward and didn’t know how to respond.

She recalled that she seemed to have said something similar to him before.

She had to admit, she really didn’t do very well without him around.

When he was present, Charles Prescott was wary of him.

He didn’t dare to be so brazen.

But if he wasn’t...

Charles Prescott wouldn’t take her seriously at all.

Anne Sutton took out her phone and scrolled through it while she ate, a convenient way to distract herself and avoid the awkwardness of facing him directly.

Ian wasn’t around right now; he was already asleep.

Anne Sutton opened her phone and happened to see the online chatter about President Sterling...

Anne Sutton said, ”Huh? Something happened to President Sterling?”

Nathan Fawcett heard her and glanced at her phone, not at all surprised by the news.

He knew about this incident before anyone else.

After reading the woman’s accusations, Anne Sutton said to Nathan Fawcett, ”He’s so disgusting! How could he do something like that! It’s true, money corrupts people. No wonder he was always helping Charles Prescott and Miles Prescott. They’re all a bunch of scumbags.”

Seeing her filled with righteous indignation, Nathan Fawcett picked up his water, took a sip, and said, ”What are your thoughts on this matter?”

Anne Sutton said, ”My thoughts? I just think that with him in trouble, no one in the company will be so determined to attack you anymore! President Sterling has been with the company for a long time, so a lot of people respect him and follow his lead in supporting Charles Prescott. With him around... it would definitely be very difficult for you to take over the company.”

Hearing Anne’s words, Nathan Fawcett said, ”Looks to me like he’s forgotten who’s really in charge.”

Nathan Fawcett hadn’t made a move recently because he wanted to see how many people in the company were his and how many belonged to Charles Prescott.

He had a pretty good grasp of it now.

President Sterling’s scandal was also a lesson for the others.

The Fawcett Group had grown better and more profitable over the years, so it was inevitable that some scum would appear within its ranks.

He was just taking this opportunity to do a proper cleanup.

His father was gone. He didn’t want to see the Fawcett Group ruined by those people too.

Anne Sutton looked at Nathan Fawcett and said, ”Did you do this?”

”...More or less,” Nathan Fawcett said. ”But he brought this on himself. I just gave him a little push in the right direction.”

Anne Sutton said, ”Charles Prescott must be very anxious right now, seeing this.”

Nathan Fawcett said, ”We’ll see how he handles it.”

After they finished eating, Nathan saw Anne to her room, where she took a shower.

After she came out, Anne Sutton lay on the bed, phone in hand, and saw that the Fawcett Group’s official social media page had posted about President Sterling.

It basically said that they had already reported it to the police, would not tolerate anyone who breaks the law, and certainly would not condone President Sterling’s behavior.

Anne Sutton said, ”This must have been Charles Prescott’s decision, right?”

Right now, Charles Prescott was in charge of all matters at the company, big and small.

Nathan Fawcett sat beside Anne Sutton, glanced at the content on her phone, and said, ”He’s clever enough.”

He cut President Sterling loose in time and didn’t drag the Fawcett Group down with him.

Anne Sutton said, ”Charles Prescott has always been very serious when it comes to work.”

It was his personal life that was a mess. He was a complete, refined scoundrel, but in terms of work, his abilities were second to none.

Nathan Fawcett looked at her. ”Are you praising him?”

Hearing Nathan Fawcett’s words, Anne Sutton faltered. ”I’m just speaking the truth. If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it next time.”

Nathan Fawcett stared at her and said, ”I know you’re telling the truth, but it’s still not pleasant to hear.”

Anne Sutton looked at Nathan Fawcett and smiled.

Nathan Fawcett asked coolly, ”What are you smiling at?”

He had to admit, he liked seeing her smile.

Her mood had been low all evening, and her dejection in his presence had soured his own mood as well.

”You sound like you’re jealous.”

”Is it possible that I am jealous?” Nathan Fawcett looked at her gently.

Anne Sutton felt a little flustered by his gaze and lowered her head.

Nathan Fawcett leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

Anne Sutton tried to pull back. Ever since Chloe Chase’s appearance, the thought that he would eventually leave her had created a distance between them; they hadn’t been this intimate since.

Now...

His action made her instinctively want to retreat, but Nathan Fawcett wrapped an arm around her waist.

His voice was deep. ”Don’t move.”
