Prev Chapter Next Chapter

“Tassach, you’re my favourite grandchild. I raised you. I have four sons and one daughter. Your dad

likes drawing. Your second uncle, though a bit business-minded, is too honest and not courageous

enough. Your third uncle only likes being a director. Although his movies aren’t bad, working in the

entertainment industry isn’t a proper career. The industry is filled with actors. This job is considered

embarrassing in ancient times. As for your fourth uncle, he likes teaching. In contrast, your aunt is a

gifted business person, but she’ll get married eventually and won’t be considered a member of our

family anymore. So I can only entrust you with Conduibh Group.”

There was a touch of the vicissitudes of life on Old Mr. Conduibh’s face. “Tassach, I’m old and I’ll pass

away eventually. Promise me that you’ll come back to inherit the family business. As for your wife, your

mom will help you find someone nice. That woman really isn’t suitable for you.”

It was also difficult for Tassach. He was raised by Old Mr. Conduibh, who was smart and wise. Old Mr.

Conduibh loved him and taught him hand in hand at the same time, so he had deeper feelings for Old

Mr. Conduibh than his parents.

“Grandpa, I respect you a lot. I can promise you everything else. It’s just that Ophelia is the only

woman I’ve ever loved. I can’t abandon her.” Tassach said sincerely, “Grandpa, you also said that I’m

your favourite grandchild, so let me do what I want and be stubborn for once.”

A haze flashed across Old Mr. Conduibh’s eyes. He said, “Fool! Tassach, you’re smart, but you can’t let

things go emotionally. Sooner or later, you’ll suffer the consequences. If you want to succeed, you can’t

be restrained by your emotions.”

“Grandpa, work is work. Personal life is personal life. I’ll take care of both,” Tassach said seriously.

“Tassach, listen to me. That woman isn’t worthy of you. Forget her and try spending some time with the

daughter of the King family.”

Tassach stood up suddenly and said, “Grandpa, if you keep saying this, I don’t think we need to talk

anymore.”

“Stop!”

Tassach stopped.

“Tassach, you’ve grown up, and you’re independent now. I don’t want to use such strong means to

force you to come back either. But I hope that you can be more mature. The Conduibh Group will be

yours in the future, so don’t be so self-willed.”

Tassach turned around and said, “Grandpa, I respect you, but I want to be the one making decisions

about my relationship.”

Old Mr. Conduibh said, “Okay, I won’t force you. It’s time for dinner.”

Tassach only said, “Grandpa, I still have some work to do. I’ll…”

“Tassach, you’ve grown up that you’re even using this excuse to beat around the bush in front of me.”

At this point of the conversation, there was nothing Tassach could say anymore.

“Grandpa, I suddenly remembered that I finished all my work. Let’s go down for dinner.”

Only then did Old Mr. Conduibh smile happily.

There were seven people at the dinner table. Mrs. Conduibh tried to matchmake Tassach and Gracie

whenever there was a chance, but Tassach only politely responded in a detached manner, letting Mrs.

Conduibh down.

Mrs. Conduibh glanced at him disapprovingly and said, “Tassach, Gracie only returned to the country

today. There are many things she doesn’t understand. You grew up here. Why don’t you give Gracie a

tour in the next few days and help her familiarize?”

Tassach took a bite of the food and replied gently, “Mom, I’m busy with work recently. The project that

we’re collaborating with Lehman Company will be starting in a few days, so I don’t have time to spend

with Miss King. Since you don’t have much to do at home mom, why don’t you show uncle, aunt, and

Miss King around? I’ll pay for the expenses.”

Mrs. Conduibh glanced at him again and said: “The Conduibh family and the King family are well-

acquainted. It’s overly polite for you to address Gracie as Miss King. You played together when you

were young. You even said that you’ll marry Gracie when you grow up. What, did you forget?”

Tassach replied casually, “Mom, I pretty much forgot everything about my childhood.”

Mrs. Conduibh placed some food in Gracie’s bowl and said, “Oh well if you forgot. But you and Gracie

are childhood sweethearts. How about this? You can show Gracie around the office tomorrow. She just

came back from abroad and isn’t particularly familiar with the situation here. Let her join in your

company so you can take care of her at work.”

“Mom, I remember that Miss King finished her master’s and PhD degrees at Yale University and

graduated with distinction. It would be a waste of talent for her to work at our company.” Tassach still

had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was really saying this for Gracie’s sake.

Gracie opened her mouth to speak. Her voice was very soft and sounded coquettish, which made it

music to the ears. “Tassach, mom and dad have always said that you are successful, so I’ve been very

curious about you. If you don’t mind, I can work at your company. I also happen to be very interested in

design.”

Tassach gazed at her.

“It’s rare for someone like Gracie who has achieved the highest level of academic mastery to not mind

working at your shabby company. Tassach, now that Gracie has spoken, don’t make up any more

excuses,” Mrs. Conduibh said with a touch of warning.

Tassach took another bite of the food and said, “Well, Miss King has spoken, and I also value talent.

But we do things according to the rules at my company, I hope Miss King wouldn’t mind showing me

your resume first.”

Gracie smiled gently and said, “Of course I don’t mind. I’ll have my resume ready tomorrow, and I’ll

personally deliver it to your company. I’ll be in your care then.”

Mrs. Conduibh said sneakily, “Tassach, Gracie grew up abroad, but she didn’t develop any bad habits.

When she arrives at your company, you should take care of her. Don’t let Gracie feel aggrieved.”

Tassach nodded and said, “Yes, mom.”
