Chapter 48 An Awkward Conversation (1/2)

Though she stayed calm and collected, Melinda began her investigation of the evil things Yulia had done.

She didn't know how to set someone up, but she would do it with real evidence to back her claims.

Back in the Gu's mansion, Nelson sat behind his desk inside the study. He looked at the company's business reports for the past two months, which made him smile with satisfaction.

Anyway, Jonas wouldn't let him down.

”Knock, knock, knock.”

There was a sudden knock on the door. Nelson took off his reading glasses, secured the company records, and stashed them in a small side drawer of his table. Then he took out a book from the nearby bookshelf.

The hardbound cover was a little yellowish, but Nelson preserved it well. He rubbed the corners of the book carefully, and then said to the person on the other side of the door in a low voice, ”Come in.”

When Yulia heard Nelson's voice, she pulled herself together and pushed the door open. Seeing that Nelson was reading a book, she asked with a pleasing smile, ”Grandpa, what are you reading?”

”Nothing interesting. Do you want something from me?”

Nelson held a handbook containing private letters from a long time ago. All these years, he had a habit of looking over the contents, but he no longer felt any impression bearing those written words.

”Grandpa, I feel much better now. I want to do something to distract myself.”

Yulia had been doing well for a long time. To get Nelson's attention, she had been pretending to be ill. She thought no one would find out, but she did not expect for Melinda to know about it. So at this point, she stopped pretending.

”Just do whatever it is that you want to do. There's no need to explain it to me. You just need to remember the rules of our family.”

The rich and powerful clans hated those people who did awful things to disgrace their bloodline. In the Gu family, there were also many rules, although both Jonas and Melinda had broken most of it.

”I know, Grandpa. But I want to start my own business.”

Yulia stated her purpose. The essential requirement for starting a business was a startup capital. She had no funds, so she came to ask help from Nelson.

When Nelson learned that Yulia wanted to develop her own business, he thought it was a good thing. If something else distracted Yulia's attention, it might be helpful to her illness.

”What are you going to do?”
