Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 484

Victoria's expression turned cold, and a tinge of hesitation flashed across her eyes.

Should I let Lionel in to meet Dad? They have way too many grudges against each other. Perhaps they'll make peace if they can have a good chat. Dad doesn't have much time left. He's always thinking about everything that happened seven years ago. If I let Lionel meet with him to settle the past grudges, he'll feel more at ease.

At that thought, she shut her eyes tight and said stiffly, “Let him head upstairs to meet Dad.”

The butler uttered an acknowledgment and left the living room in a hurry.

A moment later, Lionel followed him in.

Victoria stood up from the couch and strode toward the stairs.

Noticing that Lionel remained rooted to the ground, the butler immediately gave him a nudge on his elbow and said in a low voice, “Ms. Saunders is gesturing for you to follow her upstairs. What are you waiting for?”

Only then did realization dawn upon Lionel, and he quickly followed behind.

When they reached the second floor, Victoria abruptly paused in her tracks and said placidly, “I hope you can accommodate my father no matter what he says. He only has three days left.”

Lionel pursed his lips and muttered with difficulty, “Okay.”

In the bedroom, Vincent sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard. He was holding onto his chest as he panted heavily.

At the sight of that, Victoria hurried over to help him lie down on the bed.

However, Vincent reached out and forcefully pried open her hands.

“I'm fine. I feel much better after Bailey gave me an injection. Go to the kitchen and get them to whip up a few more dishes. Let's ask Mr. Gezmond to stay for a meal together.”

Victoria furrowed her brows at his request.

She knew very well Vincent was trying to send her away.

“I'm afraid Mr. Gezmond won't be interested in our humble fare, so let's not make a fool of ourselves. Let me cut some fruits for you while you guys chat.”

“Vicky.” Vincent was evidently a little displeased, and the stir-up of emotions led to him start coughing incessantly.

A sense of resignation filled Victoria's heart. “All right, all right. I'll head to the kitchen right away, okay?”

After watching her leave the room, Vincent uttered in a slightly shaky voice, “Close the door and take a seat on the couch.”

Lionel slammed the door shut, but instead of walking to the couch for a seat, he went to the bedside and questioned bluntly, “Why did you deal with the Gezmond family seven years ago?”

Stunned, Vincent said softly, “There's no reason. I did it because I coveted the Gezmond family's company.”

“Really?” Lionel broke into a self-deprecating laugh. “I used to think you coveted our company too. But when you transferred all the shares of Saunders Group to me, I realized you weren't greedy for fame and fortune. You must have had other reasons for dealing with the Gezmond family back then.”

“No. There aren't any other reasons. I merely wanted to acquire and absorb the Gezmond family's power. You don't have to overthink it.”

Lionel stared at Vincent coldly. “Do you really not want to reveal the truth? I'm afraid your daughter won't be able to live in peace if I can't get things off my chest. Perhaps we will even live in hatred for the rest of our lives.”

“No.” Vincent struggled to sit upright. He grabbed Lionel's arm, and said anxiously, “She's pregnant now. You two will have a happy family, so you better treat her well. Otherwise, I'll haunt you even in death.”

Lionel let out a light chuckle, but there was no warmth in his expression or his gaze.
