Once Crystal answered the phone, an elevated voice came from the other side of the phone instantly. “Crystal, didn’t I tell you to pick Mr. Larson up? What are you doing? Why is Mr. Larson standing alone outside right now and blocked by the guards? Do you even know how to get things done?”
The storm of abuse had got Crystal’s eyes watering.
Since she was a kid, she had always been grandpa’s favorite, which meant she had never been scolded by him.
But this time, she got scolded right after the call was connected and it almost got her crying.
“Shut up! Stop with all the nonsense! Go to the entrance and fetch Mr. Larson in, right now! And remember, entertain him well,” Mr. Harrison reprimanded and hung up the phone.
Crystal was confused. She never knew that her Grandpa, the one who loved her the most, would scold her like this for an outsider. Not even once in her dream!
Some of the kids nearby had also heard the conversation and Annie snapped, “What’s the matter with this dude? Talking behind your back to your grandpa? How disgusting! Urgh, I hate backstabber! What’s the big deal if we didn’t pick him up?
Besides, didn’t Lucas give him money for the taxi? Is he trying to set his feet on my brother’s car? That car is worth about two million! Did he think that we would let him ride it? How dare he backstab you for trivial things like this? Is he even a man?”
With the same expression, Lucas flung out, “Urgh, bastard, how cunning! He looked so friendly when I saw him just now.
