Chapter 161
Mrs. Andrew has issued a final ultimatum, and Anna Stuat only has three months left. Naturally, she has to cure Philip Andrew’s leg within these three months. However, it was not convenient to tell Dr. Turner this.
“Improving the prescription will help Philip Andrew’s leg recover as soon as possible. Once his leg is restored, I can leave with peace of mind,” she said. The last sentence didn’t sound like she was speaking to Dr. Turner, but rather murmuring to herself.
Although Dr. Turner didn’t understand where she had to go with peace of mind, he took her words to heart.
He repeated her original words to Nicola Bery when he contacted her – “I can leave with peace of mind” – but he didn’t understand their meaning.
“President Andrew,” he hesitated and looked at Philip Andrew. “Maybe Miss Stuat didn’t mean it in that way?”
He still wanted to offer some words of comfort, but suddenly Philip Andrew raised his head and asked a seemingly unrelated question, “How’s the situation with the Stuat family lately?”
Nicola Bery had actually not been keeping up with the situation on the Stuat family’s side for a while. But there wasn’t much to keep up with.
“After the development project at Dongcheng Villa came to a halt, the Stuat Group’s financial situation deteriorated rapidly. Several partners terminated their collaborations with them one after another, and banks began urging them to repay their loans. Their stocks have probably plummeted by now,” he explained.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Philip Andrew’s hand tightened.
“Go talk to the bank and see if the Stuat Group’s loan can be temporarily delayed. Also, pass on some information to An’s partners, telling them not to be so ruthless, and not to do it in my name,” he instructed.
At first, Nicola Bery didn’t understand.
Wasn’t the purpose of handing over the Dongsheng Villa project to the Stuat family to destroy the Stuat Group’s?
“Why are we stopping now, almost at the point of success?” Nicola Bery asked, until he turned his head and met Philip Andrew’s gaze, suddenly understanding something.
“Is it because… of Miss Stuat?” As Philip Andrew’s right-hand man, he was the most familiar with the business dealings between Anna Stuat and Philip Andrew, and therefore the first to connect the dots.
It was because the threat from the Stuat family had been eliminated, achieving their goal, that Anna Stuat wanted to quickly heal Philip Andrew’s leg, so that he could regain his freedom.
But that wasn’t the only reason.
As Nicola Bery thought about it, his expression darkened slightly – if Anna Stuat was only interested in regaining her freedom, that would be one thing, but considering how close she was getting with Sadin Andrew lately, if…
He didn’t dare to think any further, discreetly glancing at Philip Andrew before clearing his throat. “I’ll take care of it immediately.”
Old Lady Andrew was frustrated after being challenged by her usually obedient grandson in the hospital, and her discomfort only grew as she thought about it afterwards.
In the middle of the day, she called for Anglo Andrew and Madame Li to come back to the mansion and scolded them severely before dinner. Anglo Andrew had accompanied her to the hospital, and he could guess roughly why she was in a bad mood. He felt somewhat satisfied upon hearing her scold Madame Li for having always shown partiality to her own grandson.
However, Madame Andrew was completely unaware of what had happened. After being scolded and criticized for a while, she felt terrible and couldn’t eat much at dinner.
On the way back, she couldn’t help but vent her anger on Anglo Andrew. “What’s wrong with your mother? I’ve always worked hard for the Andrew family these years, giving birth to children for you and taking care of the household. I may not have made any remarkable achievements, but where have I gone wrong to deserve such criticism?”
Because of the issue with his mistress and illegitimate child that had been kept outside, Anglo Andrew and Madame Li had been at odds for a long time. Finally, due to the significance of this favored son in the family’s history, Madame Li had to swallow her pride and reconcile with him.
Anglo Andrew has recently become more honest, but he still feels somewhat powerless in front of Madame Andrew.
Then she accompanied him with a smile and said, “Don’t be angry, it’s not about you.”
To tell the truth, it wasn’t right for the old lady to criticize them. Just now, she had wept about the car accident involving Philip Andrew’s parents.
Anglo Andrew didn’t dare to mention this matter, so he could only nervously accept Madame Li’s scolding.
“It’s not about you,” Anglo Andrew said. “We just came back from the hospital, and she was upset about that little troublemaker Philip Andrew.”
As soon as she heard Philip Andrew’s name, Madame Li’s eyes lit up.
Compared to Anglo Andrew, she was more eager for Philip Andrew to fall from grace as soon as possible.

Because Philip Andrew and Sadin Andrew were the only two grandsons of the old lady in public. Unfortunately, Philip Andrew had the longer name and because his father had a lot of power and many shares in the company, Philip Andrew became the only heir to the future of the Andrew Group. Second Lady Andrew has always felt very aggrieved.
They were both grandsons of the Andrew family, so why could Philip Andrew take over the Andrew Group in the future, but not her son?
“Why did you go to the hospital? Did something happen to Philip Andrew?”
“Yes, something happened.”
Anglo Andrew roughly explained that Philip Andrew experienced an earthquake at the hotel and emphasized the argument that happened between him and the old lady in the hospital to Second Lady Andrew.
After hearing it, Second Lady Andrew’s eyes lit up and she couldn’t help but tap Anglo Andrew’s elbow with her hand. “Do you think the old lady will reject him because of this? What about the shares…”
“It’s not that easy. The old lady’s mind has already gone to the extreme. Even if that little rascal insists on marrying that illegitimate daughter, the old lady won’t give up on him that easily.”
“Then why are you so happy? It’s not like it’s of any use.”
“You can’t say that. At least we already know this little brat’s weakness, right? But it’s still not good to take action now, and it’s hard to explain to the old lady’s side.”
“We can only grind slowly in this matter. It’s just a pity for Sadin Andrew. They have the same status, but he’s still being suppressed by him.”
Second Lady Andrew was a little disappointed but quickly had an idea and calculated it in her mind.
