Chapter 184 Don’t Publicize It!
In the Huo’s House.
Early in the morning, Sharon went into the kitchen and huddled with the cooks.
When old lady came downstairs, she saw Sharon cooking breakfast herself.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
In fact, she just heard the footsteps and grabbed the thing from the cook’s hand, pretending.
Soon, a large table of rich breakfast was served on the table. Old lady was gratified and repeatedly praised, “not bad. You have been abroad for a few years, and your cooking skills have improved a lot. From now on, Bill is lucky.”
With a shy smile, she helped her sit down and said flatteringly, “grandma, please tell me what Bill likes to eat one by one so that I can learn to cook for him in the future.”
Old lady nodded. “That’s right. As the old saying goes, if you want to win a man’s heart, you should first seize his stomach. You cook well and let him think about it all the time. Aren’t you afraid that he won’t love you?”
“Grandma is right. I’ll keep it in mind,” replied Sharon humbly.
While speaking, she brought a bowl of hot porridge to old lady.
After a few bites, the phone in the living room rang.
Sharon paused for a moment and looked at the direction where the voice came from.
The housekeeper walked over and answered the phone.
“Hello, the Huo’s mansion. Who are you looking for?”
After a few seconds of silence, the keeper put down the phone and walked quickly back to old lady. With a serious look on his face, he bent over and said, “old lady…”
“Who’s on the phone?” old lady slowly blew the hot air out of her bowl.
“It is. It is…” he stammered, looking flustered.
Sharon looked up at him calmly, put down the bowl and picked up the breakfast on the table.
The keeper had been working for old lady for many years. He had always been calm and seldom behaved like this. She immediately realized that something had happened. She tilted her head to look at him and said, “I’ve never seen anything in my age before. If there’s something, just tell me. I can stand it.”
“Yes.” the keeper lowered his head and said worriedly, “Mr. Huo seems to be kidnapped!”
Old lady was stunned.
The chopsticks in Sharon’s hand fell on the table, making a crisp sound.
“What did you say? Is Bill kidnapped?” She pounded the table excitedly and shouted in panic.
As soon as she finished speaking, the spoon in old lady’s hand fell into the bowl. She squinted and staggered back to the back of the chair.
“old lady!”
“Grandma!”
The keeper and Sharon rushed over.
“BGo and call the doctor!” Sharon asked worriedly.
“I’ll do it right now!”
As he spoke, he was about to run to the backyard. The Huo had a family doctor living there.
As soon as he turned around, old lady grabbed his wrist and said, “no, thanks.”
Old lady took a few deep breaths, sat up straight and warned in a low voice, “don’t publicize it!”
“But grandma, your body…” Sharon frowned and half knelt down.
“I’m fine.” old lady calmed herself down, grabbed the keeper and asked, “hurry up. Make sure of Bill’s safety first.”
He understood what old lady meant at once. He took out his phone and dialed Bill’s number.
The phone was soon connected. The housekeeper hurriedly brought it to old lady.
“Bill, where are you?” Holding her phone, old lady’s heart beat faster.
However, it wasn’t his voice. “Haven’t I made myself clear to you? Get the money ready. Otherwise, you’ll have to bury this man’s body!”
Old lady’s breath tightened. She was sure that he had been kidnapped.
But she was the only one in charge of the Huo. She couldn’t mess around.
“I have a lot of money. But if you dare to hurt him, I’ll make you pay for it!” old lady took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
“Don’t worry. We are the people who follow the rules. When you bring the money, he will go back safely. But if you dare to call the police, don’t blame us for being rude!”
“It takes time to prepare the money. Before that, I need you to shoot a video of my grandson’s safety. Otherwise, I can’t give you the money.”
“It’s troublesome. Just wait!”
The man on the other end of the line hung up the phone. Two minutes later, a video was sent to him. Bill and Jiang were tied up.
Seeing the video, old lady was almost out of breath. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
She called again, but the person on the other end of the line refused. He only replied a message, “ask the woman from the Jian send the money in person.”
Sharon knew that they were talking about Lucy, but the Huo thought it was her.
After calming down for a while, old lady looked at Sharon awkwardly. “Sharon, are you willing to risk your life for Bill?”
She loved Sharon as her own granddaughter and didn’t want to leave her. But after all, he was her grandson. How could she not have a try when he spoke?
“Me?” She pretended not to read the message clearly.
“You are Bill’s fiancee. The kidnappers asked you to pay the ransom,” said old lady, holding her hand. “Those people are extremely vicious. If you are afraid and dare not go, grandma will understand you.”
“No,” said Sharon sniffing, and her eyes suddenly became firm. “I want to go. If I don’t go, Bill can’t live. I must save him. I’m not afraid!”
Old lady was so touched that her eyes turned red. She held her hand tighter and said, “Okay, okay. grandma didn’t see you wrong!”
After thinking for a while, she looked at the housekeeper and ordered, “prepare the money and wait for the other party to inform the place to pay the ransom!”
The keeper left at once.
Old lady squinted her eyes, lost in thought.
The Huo was not populous. In this generation, Bill was the only child. She had guessed that someone would have an idea on him, so this day finally came.
Beside her, Sharon lowered her head, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

It was getting late.
The night in A country was quiet and peaceful. When Andy and Bill arrived at the bar street, they picked a quiet bar and went in.
Each of them had a glass of cocktail and sat in front of the bar counter, listening to the singer singing soothing English love songs.
“Is there anyone here?”
A cold voice came.
Andy and Peter turned their heads and saw a Chinese man.
The man was good-looking among the Chinese. He had the same temperament and voice and didn’t seem to be the type who would take the initiative to accost others.
“May I sit down?” The man asked again.
When she saw his face clearly, she felt a little familiar.
Vivian was about to accept it, but Andy spoke first, “sorry, I want to talk to my friend alone.”
The man nodded in disappointment to show his understanding, but turned around and walked out.
Andy’s eyesight followed the man to the door, lost in thought.
She remembered that he was the man she had met in front of her grandmother and mother’s tomb.
He also came to A country.
