Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Three days later, when the appraisal results appeared in front of everyone, most of the people at the scene and not at the scene were disappointed.

Under the flashing lights of the camera, Terence’s face was as calm as ever, as if he had already expected this result. On the other hand, Clark smiled and waved to everyone with great care, thanking the media friends for giving the Gibson family peace.

Clark laughed like this because it was not only the Gibson family that could finally successfully get rid of the rumors, but most importantly, Terence’s mother did not bring him shame, because Terence had the pure and proper bloodline of the Gibson family.

After all, there were few people in the Gibson family. What else could make him happier than this?

The press conference was finally over and there were no more rumors about the Gibson Family.

When Terence returned to his office, he did not forget to remind Clark, “Dad, I hope you can keep your promise.”

Clark was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and agreed, “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word. When I get home in the afternoon, I’ll go to the ancestral hall to pay respects to your mother and apologize.”

“Thank you,” Terence said.

Clark was happy in his heart. Even when Terence blamed him, he smiled. “If you had come with me to do a test earlier, wouldn’t you have been fine? You wouldn’t have gone until the city was filled with rumors.”

“I have reminded Dad to believe in my mother.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Yes, Ann is a good woman. I know,” Clark said in hindsight.

Terence did not say anything more and turned to leave Clark’s office.

Gill, who was more nervous than anyone else, came to the company early and waited. Now that she knew the result, she was also very happy. The big stone in her heart finally fell.

After watching Terence walk out, she walked to Clark with a smile. She pinched his shoulder and said, “You should be relieved now, right? I told you Ann is not such a scheming person.”

“Yes, I am glad.” Clark nodded.

“Now, the Gibson family can finally calm down. You don’t have to doubt that Terence is someone else’s child, let alone doubt about the child in Esther’s belly.” Gill said with a gratified expression, “In another year, our Gibson family will have two more members. It will be very lively.”

“That’s right, we don’t have to be laughed at anymore. Our Gibson family is prosperous.” Clark smiled. “Think about it, I’ve been quite sorry for the little guy in Esther’s belly recently. When he is born, I must give him a big gift.”

“Being able to gain the favor of you is already the best gift for the little fellow,” Gill said.

“I love all my descendants.”

“Then what about Terence? Should you transfer him back to the top floor and cultivate him as the future heir of the Gibson Family like James?” Gill said.

The expression on Clark’s face froze slightly, and then he sighed faintly.

Seeing his sudden change in expression, Gill also restrained her smile and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Haven’t you already figured out Terence’s bloodline? Shouldn’t you…”

Clark wanted to pat her on the shoulder with his palm. He shook his head and sighed, “In fact, I can see that Terence is smarter than James. He is more principled and bolder when doing things, but…”

“But what?” Gill became more and more nervous.

Clark paused for a moment before continuing, “It’s a pity that Terence’s health can’t compare to James’s.”

A chill ran through her heart. Gill was extremely disappointed. She shook her head and said, “So this is what you have been worried about!”

It was no wonder that he had not thought of calling his youngest son home to help manage the company for so many years.

“The doctor said that it is not sure how many years he can live. How can I dare to hand such a big company to him? If it were you, would you dare?” Clark saw that her face was pale and quickly raised his hand to support her arm. “You don’t have to be nervous. I know what you are thinking. Don’t worry. Even if I don’t hand over the company to Terence, I won’t give him less money.”

“But this is not fair.” Gill said, “We can’t deprive him of his right of inheritance just because he is not in good health. This is too unfair to him. Besides, he has been in good health for the past few years. He is completely qualified to work in the company. Besides, he is James’s elder brother, but as an elder, he is suppressed by the younger generation. Where do you want him to put his dignity?”

Clark was silent.

Gill continued to say, “In terms of seniority, the company should be inherited by Terence. Even if it is not based on seniority, you should give them a fair chance to compete.”

“Looks like you really want Terence to take over the company.” After she said so much, Clark glanced at her unhappily.

“I…!” Gill was speechless. She finally realized that she seemed to have provoked Clark. She lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, I’m just defending Terence.”

Clark turned around, raised his palm, and waved it to indicate that she could go back.

…

Some were happy while others were worried. Clark and Gill were happy, while Amanda and her family were depressed.

Anne picked up the controller and turned off the TV. She said angrily, “As I said, don’t be happy too early before the results are out. You even said that there is no blood tie at all.”

At this time, she was jealous and hateful. She hated Esther’s good life. Not only was she pregnant, but she was also pregnant with the pure blood of the Gibson family. When Esther’s child was born, she would be in the same generation as James. If she gave birth to a son, Esther would be even more proud.

She did not expect Esther to have such a good life. On the other hand, the child in her belly was not related to the Gibson family by blood, and her relationship with Gibson James was getting worse.

Sarah curled her lips with a guilty conscience. “Who knew it would be like this? I didn’t expect it either.”

Amanda said angrily, “In my opinion, Terence deliberately fooled us to play with him. He deliberately pretended to be unwilling to do the appraisal, so that we could mistakenly think that he had nothing to do with the Gibson family. Now, he suddenly agreed to do it. Not only did he ruthlessly sweep our face, but he also made us suffer here.”

“I didn’t expect Uncle Terence to be such a scheming person,” Sarah said angrily.

Anne sneered, “I think it was probably instigated by Esther.”

“I think so too.” Sarah nodded. Seeing Amanda and Anne’s depressed faces, Sarah turned to comfort them, “But it doesn’t matter. Whether or not Esther can give birth to a healthy child is uncertain. What’s the use of giving birth to a deformed child? We don’t have to worry. Isn’t Amanda pregnant with a son? Moreover, your baby would be born before hers. No matter what, we have the advantage. Am I right?”
