company, I thought it was a good idea and made up my mind. When he called again a while ago, I told him you refused to let me leave. He got upset, so I chided him for a bit. How could he say that? You’re my granddaughter, and he’s nothing compared to you. Anyway, I’ve decided to stay. No one can kick me out!”Winnie was amused. Granny’s decision was pretty hasty. If she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Abel, she would’ve done that ages ago. I can’t believe she came up with that excuse to not disturb my life.Sighing, Winnie said, “Granny, don’t let Abel’s words change your mind! My home is always your home. As long as you’re willing, I’ll take you with me even if I settle elsewhere.” …After dinner, Winnie had a good rest.She was woken up by her phone ringing the next morning.Squinting her eyes, she took her phone to discover it was Lucas.

Don’t you know how dangerous Manchernius is? How can you let her go there?”“I know!” Lucas answered. “I’ve hidden her passport and ID card. Without these, she cannot go anywhere. I managed to stop her from going to Manchernius, but I can’t stop her from finding you.”“What?” Winnie sat up. “Where is she going to find me? Does she know my current address?”“She might head to your company, Garland Group.”They were still talking on the phone when Lisanne’s call arrived.Winnie immediately said, “She’s calling me. I need to go now.”She then answered Lisanne’s call. “Lisanne, where are you? Are you at Garland
