Chapter 267 - Impressed...
"You are really something Ms. Jean. I have never expected it would be you" Elder Summers said in his gentle and surprised tone. He is really admired by her capabilities…and god knows how much he is amazed by her
"Thank a lot Sir, your words meant a lot to me." Jean said, she is really pleased with his reaction. After all this is a huge step towards her mission.
Elder Summer scrutinized her face, her words are genuine and there was no hint of arrogance or superiority etched on her face. She is truly modest and sincere…
"You are CEO who is ruthless in her business but you are also a generous doctor who selflessly funded a hefty amount to charity. There are two opposite personalities in you. I am just amazed" he smiled at his thought, she will be a perfect mistress for his family
"Sir, business is harsh and cruel world. In order to maintain the authority I have to be ruthless. But helping the people who are in need is something that makes me feel content and full" Jean said casually.
"Being a doctor is my passion and doing business is my career. I just have to change my attitude depending on the situation" Jean looked at Scott's grandmother who is in turn staring at her with huge smile. She nodded her head to continue.
'So my wife is also okay with her. No wonder that she accepted her, even I am impressed by her straight and sincere approach' he thought.
"Moreover I have help sir, I am not alone. I have good friends who look after me, I am lucky to have them. Without them my life would have crumbled into pieces long ago"
Jean repeated the same words she used in her first meeting. But her voice is sad and at the same time she sounded happy. He could sense that she had a bad past and her life was not that simple.
When he listened it few days back, it didn't matter him much. But now, he understood about whom she is talking and he also understood how important Scott and others are to her. She is indirectly pleading him not to separate them. She might be in a deep love with him..
She has gone through a lot but she stood up with strong and unwavering faith, he couldn't help but admire her even more. But what has she gone through, that her heart is wounded?
He thought of asking her about her family but held his tongue back. According to his Intel they would be announcing their relationship the next day, so why to hurry up and show his approval before handed…
"What about Grace organizations Ms. Jean. Is it really founded by you, how do you operate it" He asked her, it has been helping many needy people who needed medical help.
Jean nodded her head confirming his guess. "Yes sir, I started it before two years. Though I don't get involved directly my special team look after it. Half of my income as CEO will be transferred to it and all the money I get whenever I attend any surgery will also be funded to Grace" Jean said, she doesn't like to show off but for Scott she is ready to do anything.
Elder Summers understood her feelings of modesty and he couldn't help but agree to the fact that she is unique.
They talked for some more time and wrapped up when it was almost late night. At last he concluded to accept her and allow his grandson to marry her.
But what will happen when he will get to know that she is Grey and moreover a daughter of his mortal enemy Jonathan Grey.
.....
Scott sighed in relief after noticing the beaming smile on her face. Every thing went well and they could reveal their relationship to the elders now…
But he couldn't help but worry about the consequences when Jean will announce her surname. Scott's hand skimmed on her fingers before he left to his room. Elder Summers chuckled, he could see how desperate Scott is and he couldn't stop but hope for great grandchildren soon.
Meanwhile
The villa Sianna and her parents are allocated with, is in mess.
Enraged by what she is informed, Sianna started slamming the objects on to the floor. How can Elder Summers accept Jean…
Is that means she longer has his support….
What is so special about her, even her family is not in support of her. She is not a real heir and she only holds ten percent of shares in Grey corporations. How will she benefit the family…
Even Sianna's father is out of his senses, Shawn Summers visited him few days back with a file that contain the proofs of his misdeeds that breached the contract between them. After Seline's engagement, in matter of days there will be a huge downfall in value of the shares
"Sianna darling, do whatever you need to do but trap him to marry you before his sisters marriage." her father bellowed.
Sianna nodded her head with determination. "I already have my plan in progress. Don't worry" she smirked devilishly.
But little she knew that she is one of the pawn in Scott's hands…
