Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 1401 - 1395: Joseph Lancaster’s Grandson Is a Bastard?

"Hey, hey, hurry up, business matters can’t afford any delays." Violet Zimmerman hurriedly urged, and after sending Vanessa Quinn off, she turned around and sighed."Sigh, Vanessa is such a good kid, why won’t Evander fancy her?"

Joseph Lancaster glanced at her indifferently and said slowly, "There were many outstanding women around me once, but unfortunately, none of them caught my eye!"

Violet Zimmerman...

She paused in her steps towards the sofa, "Joseph Lancaster, what do you mean?"

Facing the shouting woman, Joseph Lancaster raised his eyebrows, "I didn’t mean anything, just wanted to tell you, each flower to each eye!"

Violet Zimmerman...

Glaring at Joseph Lancaster, she complained, "You old rogue!"

After sitting down on the sofa, Violet Zimmerman sighed again, "Joseph, do you think Vanessa didn’t catch my drift or is she playing dumb?"

"Hmph!"

With a snicker, Joseph Lancaster took another sip from his teacup, "What do you think? Such a savvy woman, managing to latch onto the Lancaster Family, how could she easily let go?"

Violet Zimmerman also knew Vanessa Quinn was playing dumb; in the business world, who isn’t an old fox?

Sighing again towards the front, "Maybe we should be the ones to break off the engagement, worst case we give their company a few projects."

Joseph Lancaster set the teacup back on the low table in front of him, squinting his sharp eyes slightly, he said, "Do you think Dominic Quinn and his daughter would be satisfied with just a few minor projects?"

As soon as he asked, without waiting for Violet Zimmerman to speak, Joseph Lancaster snorted and continued, "If our Lancaster Family proposes this, I fear that Dominic Quinn would make exorbitant demands!"

"What then? Should we just keep dragging it on?" Violet Zimmerman frowned, turning to Joseph Lancaster, who leisurely poured himself some tea.

"What do we do? Isn’t your son’s good buddy currently dealing with their company? As long as our Lancaster Family doesn’t intervene, pressing the Quinn Family with no escape, they’ll eventually back down when they realize the difficulties!"

"Sigh, it looks like that’s the only option." Violet Zimmerman sighed again, turning back to gaze ahead, worried, "Thinking about it, I blame myself for being too impulsive, if it weren’t for you, Daxton’s legacy might have been occupied by Daemon Lancaster long ago!"

For years, Joseph Lancaster seldom saw Violet Zimmerman in such a melancholy state, he shook his head with a smile, and as he put down the teapot, he comforted, "You shouldn’t blame yourself anymore, there are more important matters at hand."

"What’s more important than this?"

Violet Zimmerman once again doubtfully turned to Joseph Lancaster, whose movement to drink tea paused, looking at her with a meaningful gaze, he said, "That rebellious son’s child is about to be born, do you want the Lancaster Family’s successor to carry the label of illegitimacy as soon as they’re born?"

"I don’t care! Anyway, I won’t acknowledge it!" Violet stubbornly declared, Joseph Lancaster sighed helplessly while sipping his tea, after putting down the teacup, he advised, "Alright, don’t be stubborn anymore, the children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, the fact you’ve troubled that child so much and nothing happened shows there’s a bond with our Lancaster Family."

"It’s all Nathan Moore’s fault, ruining my plans! Otherwise, the bastard would have long been gone!" Violet Zimmerman gritted her teeth, Joseph Lancaster casually responded with an "Hmm?" Clearly, it was just a nasal sound, but Violet suddenly shivered.

When she looked over after recovering, she saw Joseph Lancaster staring at her with an implicit smile; clearly smiling, yet it felt creepy.

"Bastard?" Joseph Lancaster retorted, and then without waiting for Violet Zimmerman to speak, he continued, "Is my grandson a bastard?"
