Chapter 1071
At 8 a.m., Clayton made his rounds through the main house with a heavy heart.
Today, he would have to leave this place behind.
The Hawkins family had a rule that only the head of the family could reside in the main house.
After the shareholders' meeting, he would lose Hawkins Sea-freight and his status as the head of the Hawkins family. The main house would no longer be his!
All of it would become Carl's.
Carl would become the new head of the Hawkins family and move into the main house!
If it weren't for their sudden kidnapping of his mother, he would have donated Hawkins Sea-freight today!
The empire he had worked so hard to build, he would rather give it away for free than let those scoundrels have it!
But life is full of regrets, and now he was at his wit's end, unable to change the situation, powerless to do anything!
"Sigh-"
Clayton let out a long sigh, glancing upstairs towards Elysia and Tarquin's room.
He had wanted to have a chat with Tarquin, but thinking they were still resting, he didn't want to disturb them by going up.
Seeing Elliot and Elijah come downstairs, he said to the two boys,
"Something's happened at your granddad's today, and you won't be able to stay here anymore. When your parents wake up, let them know for me.
If they don't mind, they can move to the villa in the suburbs with your grandma.
But, the suburbs are quite far from all the attractions, and it's not very convenient, so if they don't want to stay there, they don't have to worry about your grandma and me. You guys came out to have fun, and that's what's most important."
Of course, he hoped Elysia and the kids would stay with them, but he couldn't insist.
Elliot, without revealing his true identity, replied,
"My mom says that after a storm comes a rainbow, and a person won't be down on their luck forever. Grandpa Clayton, I wish you the best." Elijah frowned and said, "We're not going anywhere. We'll be here waiting for you, waiting to have lunch with you."
Clayton's eyes reddened, touched and helpless.
He didn't want to move either, but he had no choice!
He had already arranged for someone to take Pamela to the villa in the suburbs in the morning.
As for lunch...
Clayton didn't want to dampen the kids' spirits and said,
"I'll try my best to come back for lunch with you guys. If I get too tied up and can't make it, you guys make sure to eat well." "You'll definitely make it back!" Elijah said with certainty.
Charles looked at Elijah and sighed deeply.
The teacher and student had met, but before they could recognize each other, they were already facing a farewell.
The shareholders' meeting was a battlefield, and what came after could be a massacre!
Whether they could make it back alive was uncertain.
Feeling Charles's gaze, Elijah turned to look at him.
He didn't know Charles was his teacher, but he could feel there was something different in Charles's look.
"And you, you have to come back for lunch with us."
Charles smiled warmly, affectionately ruffling Elijah's hair, "Sure."
...
When Clayton and the Patel brothers arrived at the company, it was still before the meeting time.
Since the Patel brothers weren't company employees, they had to wait outside for the time being.
"Call us immediately if anything happens, we'll rush in."
"Got it!" Clayton nodded and walked into the company.
Upon seeing him, his assistant Alden hurried over, looking panicked, "Boss!"
Clayton saw his bruised face and frowned, "What happened to your face?"
Alden's lips moved slightly, "They hit me."
Clayton's face darkened, "Who?!"
Before Alden could speak, the president's office door suddenly opened, and Clayton's second and third assistants came out carrying big boxes. Seeing Clayton, they froze for a moment, their expressions panicked.
But the next second, they calmed down and said,
"Mr. Hawkins, Philip asked us to pack up your things and move them out. We weren't sure what you wanted and what you didn't, so we just put everything in the storage room. If you need anything, you can find it in storage."noveldrama
