Chapter 151
Connor gave her a cold look and said coldly, "Stop speculating all day long. If you have nothing to do, go travel. I have work to do and don't have time to chat with you!"
Seeing Connor about to leave, Ximena hurriedly stopped him.
"No, I must make Felix completely cut ties with Gianna. If not, she's gonna be the death of him!"
"Can you stop causing trouble for no reason? Now that Thomas has entered the company, Felix already has enough on his plate, and you are just causing trouble!"
Ximena stared at Connor fiercely and said angrily, "How is this causing trouble for no reason? Connor, are you willing to sacrifice your son's life for the Clinton Group?"
"I don't have time for this nonsense. Do whatever you want!" With that, Connor turned and left directly.
"Connor, stop right there! Come back!"
However, no matter how much Ximena shouted, Connor never looked back.
Their marriage had been strictly business, and Ximena knew that Connor had never truly liked her. After giving birth to Felix and Hannah, Connor never had any intimate relations with Ximena again.
Over the years, Ximena had caused scenes and arguments, pushing Connor further away. They now only maintained a superficial peaceful relationship.
Felix was Ximena's pride, and she would never let anyone threaten him!
If Ximena went to Felix to ask him to cut ties with Gianna, he definitely wouldn't listen to her. She had to come up with another plan.
The next morning, as soon as Gianna arrived at the company, Hayden came to see her.
After listening to Hayden, Gianna said expressionlessly, "So, you expect me to let go of the criminal who almost killed me?"
"Gianna, I know Kevin made a mistake in the heat of the moment, but if he gets caught, Faith will truly have no home. You are Faith's good friend. You wouldn't just stand by and let this happen, right?"
Gianna chuckled lightly. "Are you mistaken about something?"
"What?"
"Kevin committed a crime. It's not about whether I forgive him or not. He will definitely be punished, and not just him, but also the mastermind behind him will face legal consequences!"
Hayden's face soured at the underlying message in Gianna's words.
"Ms. Redstone, be more forgiving. Why be so ruthless?"
Gianna's smile turned cold. "It's written in the law. Oh, and from now on, you don't need to handle the fabric aspect of the company anymore. Just focus on after-sales service."
"Ms. Redstone, you're ruthless!"
Hayden left angrily, slamming the door of Gianna's office loudly.
Gianna paid no attention, continuing to focus on her work.
As it approached closing time, Felix called her.
"Grandmother Natalie invited us to dinner at Harmony Garden tonight."
Gianna looked surprised. "She knows about us being together?"
"Yes, I told her."
Not hearing a response from Gianna, Felix continued, "What's wrong? Are you not happy?"
Gianna felt a bit helpless, rubbing her temples. "Should I be happy?"
Gianna had planned to spend some time with Felix first, wait until their relationship stabilized a bit, and then make it public. She didn't expect him to be so impatient.
"If you're not into it, I'll tell her we can't make it tonight. We can go another day," said Felix.
"No need. Let's go tonight. Come pick me up after work," said Gianna.
"Okay."
After hanging up, Gianna didn't dwell on the matter too much and dove back into her work.
As soon as it was time to leave, Gianna immediately packed up and headed downstairs.
Before leaving the office, Gianna applied some lipstick.
At the elevator, she ran into Faith, who couldn't help but smile when she saw Gianna.
"A woman in love really shines differently. You look much better than before," said Faith.
Gianna blushed slightly and glared at Faith. "Come on, don't make fun of me."
Faith raised an eyebrow. "It's rare to see you blush. But what I mean is that you have reconciled with Felix. Have you misunderstood something?"
Seeing her silence, Faith couldn't help but tease her further.
"What are you thinking about that's making you blush like this?"
"Got nothing better to do than gossip?" said Gianna.
Faith quickly waved her hand. "No more talking, promise! I still have a lot of work to finish! Don't give me more tasks!"
"By the way, is Uriah still pursuing you?" asked Gianna.
Faith shook her head. "I've already clearly rejected him. He hasn't bothered me recently, so he has probably given up. And I'm currently in contact with someone else."
Gianna looked surprised. "Who?"
"It's a secret for now. If it works out, I'll introduce you to him," said Faith.
Gianna didn't press further.
When they reached the lobby, Faith said goodbye to Gianna and left.
Gianna walked to the roadside. As she opened the car door, she noticed a bouquet of flowers on the seat, her favorite sunflowers.
Gianna was surprised to see Felix's flowers.
"Thank you, but how did you know sunflowers are my favorite?"
Felix remained composed. "In the Grand View villa, you always filled the vases on the dining table and living room with sunflowers."
Gianna smiled, surprised that Felix had noticed, as she thought he never paid attention to such details.
Half an hour later, a black Maybach pulled into Harmony Garden.
A grey Rolls-Royce was already parked in the lot. After the driver stopped the car, Gianna and Felix got out.
As they entered the living room, they saw Thomas sitting on the sofa chatting with Natalie.
When he saw Gianna and Felix, his smile faded slightly, and he stood up, saying to Natalie, "Grandmother Natalie, Felix and Gianna are here. I'll take a walk in the garden for a bit. Let them chat with you."
Natalie smiled and nodded. "Alright, you go ahead."
Whether it was a misconception or not, Gianna felt that Thomas's gaze toward her held some deeper meaning.
After Thomas left, Felix led Gianna to sit opposite Natalie.
Natalie's eyes were full of smiles when she saw their intertwined hands. "Have you two really made up?"
Felix raised an eyebrow. "Could it be fake?"
Natalie looked at him sternly. "I didn't ask you. It's just that Gianna is soft-hearted. That's why she's giving you another chance. If you make Gianna sad again, I won't recognize you as my grandson either!"
Gianna couldn't help but smile, looking at Natalie. "Grandmother Natalie, he's treating me well now."
"If he mistreats you, even if you want to reconcile with him, I won't agree."
Felix's face darkened. "Grandmother Natalie, am I really your grandson?"
"As long as you treat Gianna well, that's all that matters. If you mistreat Gianna, I can cut ties with you at any time," said Natalie.
Seeing Felix's face completely darkened, Gianna reached out and poked his cheek, saying, "Felix, Grandmother Natalie is just teasing you!"
"I'm not joking."
Seeing Natalie's serious expression, Gianna couldn't help but say, "Grandmother Natalie, don't tease Felix like that!"
Felix, with his cold demeanor, found it difficult to adapt to such banter.
Natalie didn't continue the topic. "By the way, how is Thomas doing at Clinton Group lately?"
