Chapter 286 His Identity Can No Longer Be Hidden
Alexander didn't mind this and laughed. "Savannah, come here quickly. Look what I've prepared for you. This is the sandwich you loved the most when you were a kid. Your brothers are tough and have their own careers. Now that we've found you, they're too happy to even think about competing with you. That would be so petty."
"I can vouch for that. Mr. Vanderbilt is telling the truth," Terry chimed in at the right moment. "Mr. Vanderbilt woke up insisting on seeing you. If the doctors hadn't stopped him, he would have pulled out his IV himself."
Alexander nodded. "Lorenzo wishes I would give the company to you. When he was a kid, he loved carrying you around everywhere. And Pentti, he's still saving money for you by acting."
"Grandpa," Adeline said, handing Alexander a cup of warm water. "We can talk about these things later. Right now, the most important thing is your health. It's time for your medicine."
With Adeline feeding him the medicine, Alexander was much more willing than before.
Moreover, Adeline was so attentive that she even prepared some candy to go with the medicine.
In addition, Adeline personally made lunch.
One portion was for Alexander, and another for Charles.
Alexander never thought he would one day find Charles from the Livingston family so annoying.
After all, he used to praise him to everyone and genuinely thought Charles was impressive.
But now, he thought he was an eyesore! "Have you been here all this time? What about your company?"
Charles took off his Bluetooth headset, maintaining his polite demeanor. "The company has a bunch of capable managers. It can run without me. Don't worry, Grandpa."
He didn't even call him Mr. Vanderbilt anymore; he started calling him Grandpa!
Alexander looked at him and heavily placed a chess piece on the board. "Who was it that said his health wasn't good and that he would ruin a girl's future, and that not choosing Savannah was for her own good?"
"She's been feeding me a lot lately." Charles, dressed impeccably in a suit, smiled and lightly pinched a chess piece. "I've recovered now."
Alexander's eyes widened. Charles was definitely showing off!
Adeline walked in with a stethoscope and saw this scene.
She remembered that the two of them used to look quite harmonious when playing chess.
But now, Adeline glanced at Charles as if to say, "Did you make Grandpa angry?"
Charles chuckled and shook his head, still wearing his gold-rimmed glasses.
This interaction looked to Alexander like they were secretly showing off their affection.
He sighed deeply. 'Oh well, as long as Savannah likes him.'
Alexander placed a chess piece down with authority. "When we return to Zelphoria, I'll hand over the Vanderbilt Group to Savannah. I don't want to hear anyone saying that our Savannah isn't good enough for you. After all, you did reject our Vanderbilt family once."
This was a reminder that the Livingston family should also be prepared.
Charles's relaxed demeanor turned serious. "Rest assured, no matter the circumstances, I will protect her. I have never been lenient with those who gossip."
Alexander was somewhat satisfied. "And your grandfather..."
"My grandfather has already met her and has always spoken highly of her. He said that even at a young age, her medical skills are extraordinary and that she is destined for great things," Charles said truthfully.
Nicholas had always been inquiring about her.
Charles was just afraid she would get scared off.
Alexander laughed heartily. "Your grandfather sure knows how to judge people. When we get back to Zelphoria, I want to have a drink with him!"
"He would be very happy," Charles said with a faint smile.
Always scheming, he was now focused on pleasing Alexander, not noticing that Adeline slightly raised her eyebrows upon hearing his words.
