Chapter 42
After coming out of her father’s building, Sherly Swiss was on the way to get her car.
On both sides of the path, the bright street lamps lit up the whole courtyard. People who didn’t know would even think that this was not a residential area, but a beautiful and quiet park.
The sound of small bells ringing came from ahead. Curious, she looked up and saw a snow-white pet dog scurrying into the grass. Although she hadn’t seen her master yet, Sherly Swiss had already guessed something.
Sure enough, not long after, a middle-aged couple in pajamas came over.
The man had dashing eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked loyal and honest, only a few years younger than his father. This man was Emper Swiss, the ruler of the three branches of the Swiss Group. The woman who walked side by side with him was dignified and elegant. She was obviously the daughter of a rich family. She was Emper Swiss’s first wife, Nita.
Sherly Swiss sneered in her heart.
This couple was the most inconspicuous couple in the Swiss family. She never competed for anything, nor tried to get close to anyone. they were still unable to give birth to a child that belonged to the Swiss family. Seeing that they were too old and had no hope to have children, they asked the related people to adopt a little daughter and named her Sally.
Compared with other children of the Swiss Group, Sally was still young and was still a student. The couple sent their daughter abroad for her future development. In order to relieve their loneliness, the old couple kept a pet dog at home.
“Third uncle, third aunt.” Sherly smiled and walked over.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Emper Swiss nodded. Not only was Nita dignified and generous, but her voice also contained a hint of elegance.
“It’s Sherly. Why did you come back so late? I mentioned you at dinner. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you so much.”
“I’m too busy to go back.” Like others, she made the same reason.
This couple could not be her enemies, nor could their leader do anything to her. There was no need to cotton up to them and pretend the so-called family harmony. So she said, ” I have something else to do, so I’ll go back first. You take a walk.”
“Okay, drive slowly.”
She didn’t forget to remind him.
It was not until Sherly Swiss’s figure disappeared under the orange street lamp that Emper opened his mouth slowly.
“Ashley didn’t come back from the dinner party. Now she comes back and goes straight to elder brother’s house. Is there anything going to happen?”
“You must be thinking too much. If Sally had come back, she would have visited us first.”
“I understand.” Emper Swiss nodded, staring at the quiet scenery in the distance with his suspicious eyes. “Ever since my father was declared to be hospitalized, my brother’s behavior has become more and more unpredictable. Nita, haven’t you noticed it? It’s very difficult for us to see our mother in usual times, and we have to get his consent, and we have to be in his presence.”
“Emper, you have never thought of competing with him for the throne of the Swiss family. Just let him do whatever he likes. He won’t kill us all, will he? After all, you are brothers and have no resentment against us. Don’t worry too much.”
Emper Swiss nodded and said nothing more.
The two old couples were about to take their dogs for a walk, but they saw 35 servants coming from the direction of the South floor of the Swiss family. They looked flustered and hurried, as if something serious had happened.
The servants saw the two of them and nodded politely.
Looking at the backs of the servants who left in a hurry, Emper’s eyebrows naturally deepened.
That direction was where her mother lived. There must be something bad happening since they gathered together in the middle of the night.
“Nita, let’s go and have a look.”
“Okay.”
To everyone’s surprise, the periphery of the building where old Madam lived was guarded by well-trained bodyguards. Without the permission of Jack, no one was allowed to disturb old Madam’s cultivation.
Emper Swiss knew that he couldn’t break through by force, so he had to wait quietly outside with Nita.
After a while, people came over.
The man in the lead, with a cold expression and a unique temperament, was his elder brother, Jack.
“Brother.” Emper Swiss greeted first.
Jack nodded and glanced sharply at Emper Swiss.
“Emper, why don’t you have a rest in the middle of the night? Why are you here?”
Emper Swiss smiled and said, “brother, I’m taking a walk with Nita. I saw the servants passing by the garden in a hurry. I’m afraid that mother is not in good health, so I come to see what’s going on.”
“Okay.” Jack Swiss didn’t ask more. He turned to look at her and asked, “how’s Nita recently?”
“Thank you for your concern,. It’s okay. We take a walk with Augustus tonight to help digestion.” The smile on Nita’s face was warm, and she was a standard lady from a rich and powerful family. “By the way, how is mom? Why do so many people look flustered?”
Jack Swiss stood straight and cast a glance at the gate of the building .
“Mother is fine. Maybe it’s because of the family feast tonight that she suddenly caught a cold. Send more people to serve her. She should be better.”
“Oh, then what exactly caused it? And…”
Emper Swiss wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by him.
“Emper, sister-in-law. It’s getting late. You should go back and have a rest. I’m also mother’s son, and I did this for her sake. Do you think I would hurt my mother?”
Emper Swiss and Nita frowned.
“Brother, are you serious?” It was Emper Swiss who first regained his composure. He said jokingly to him, and then turned his head to take the hand of his mother and said, “since my mother is fine, why don’t we go back? We’ll visit her another day when my brother is free.”
“Okay.” Nita nodded in agreement.
They left together. Standing alone in the big garden outside the villa, Jack cast a glance at the door.
In a trance, he seemed to see himself, who had been young when he was a child, playing and catching with several brothers in the garden.
A beautiful woman walked out from the door.
