Chapter 344: Chapter 344: The Baby is Really Amazing!

James Thompson’s gaze swept deeply across the verdant fingers tapping lightly on his thigh.

"So there’s really a prize for guessing correctly?" he asked hoarsely.

"Mm-hmm, I’m not lying to you," Julia Land assured with a beaming smile.

James Thompson raised an eyebrow, "You don’t want to inherit the Bell Group because, firstly, with Madame Bell’s character, if you really did inherit shares of the Bell Group, she would probably always persuade you to let Maxwell Bell manage it."

"Secondly, the shareholders of the Bell Group aren’t like those of the former Moore Group. They won’t allow you to make sweeping reforms in the company and take control of the decision-making."

"Thirdly, back then you didn’t want to invest energy in dealing with Madame Bell, nor did you want to take over the Bell Group."

He chuckled and pulled Julia Land into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, "In a word, you find it ’troublesome’."

If it’s considered a bother, why unnecessarily get involved?

Just like when Cody Thompson died, and James Thompson found out that the old man hadn’t left him any inheritance at all.

Thinking of this, he chuckled lightly. To be honest, he wasn’t angry, he just thought the old man was foolish.

If the old man had any awareness under the spring below, he would probably deeply regret his decisions regarding the inheritance allocation.

Whether in history or in modern management, attempting to support young children to manage a group would only result in the power being divided or falling into the hands of others.

The currently declining Thompson Group was merely a minor branch office to him.

The couple lightly touched on this topic then moved on to discuss their son’s education.

For them, investing energy in their son and daughter is now the most important thing.

Julia Land thought about the education of Alice Thompson and her head started to hurt.

Tonight, Alice Thompson even sneakily put the celery he dislikes eating back onto the plate.

The little child even bragged, "Baby finished eating! Baby is so great! Baby is so brave!"

Julia Land really wants to sigh now.

Who gave him the courage to trick them like that?

The Thompson Family’s old house.

After returning from the banquet and bathing, Bella Quarter went straight to the study to make a video call.

It wasn’t long before the video connected, and an old person with completely white hair appeared on the screen.

Bella Quarter sat up straight and called out, "Grandmother."

Maya Chant put on her reading glasses, her gaze sharp as she looked at Bella Quarter, her voice aged and serious, "Bella, I’ve told you before, you’re married to William now, and you should call me Grandma just like he does."

Bella Quarter looked down and admitted her mistake, "I’m sorry, Grandma, I understand."

Maya took a long look at her, then sighed, "You’ve been managing the Thompson Group for a while now, how are things going?"

Bella Quarter found managing the Thompson Group quite challenging with many problems within the group.

However, she couldn’t tell Grandma that and could only say, "It’s going alright, Grandma, I’ve transferred Assistant Hunter out."

Maya nodded, "You did the right thing moving him out."

Bella Quarter told Maya about what happened at the Bell family banquet that evening, "Madame Bell has given the Bell Group’s shares to Maxwell Bell and his son."

Upon hearing this news, Maya laughed heartily. After her laughter subsided and after a few coughs to catch her breath, she said, "Good, very good, Julia Land didn’t get any benefits at all, just like James Thompson who also didn’t get anything from the Thompson Family!"

Bella Quarter lowered her eyelids, her thoughts actually diverged from Grandmother’s.

She felt, perhaps to the legendary Director Land, the Bell Group might be inconsequential.

In Julia Land’s hands, the Dale Group, which now holds an international status within the top fifty.

Maya Chant’s smile faded as she brought up another topic, "You and William need to conceive an heir soon, what does he think?"

Bella Quarter was a bit flustered by the question, laughing as she replied, "Grandma, we just got married, and William doesn’t want to have children so young, and I have to manage the Thompson Group now. I really don’t have the energy."

Maya frowned, "Bella, even if you’re busy with your plans, you still need to make time to care for William, understand?"

Bella Quarter forced a smile, "Grandma, I understand what you mean."

Maya nodded slightly satisfied, "Good, you should rest early. Contact me if you need anything."

After ending the video call, Bella Quarter’s mood was complex.

She left the study and returned to the bedroom, to find that William Thompson had already come home.

Bella Quarter checked the time; it was rare for William to come home before midnight.

Just as she approached, William stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace, laughing, "Sister Bella, the body wash you use smells so nice."

Bella Quarter gave him a sidelong glance, "You reek of makeup powder, why did you come back so early tonight?"

William laughed lightly, "I missed the banquet with you tonight, so I came back early to keep you company."

Bella Quarter’s feelings for William were complex. Whenever she was scolded by Grandmother for not doing well in her studies as a child, it was William who would console her.

There was still a bit of romantic feeling between them.

But William was too fickle, too amorous.

Bella Quarter shyly lowered her head, revealing a section of her fair neck.

William’s fingers lingered on her neck as he tightened his embrace around her waist, "Sister Bella, I’ll go take a shower first."

The night was very quiet in the old Thompson Family home.

Moonlight from outside the window added a soft glow to the master bedroom.

William made love to her twice before preparing to sleep, holding Bella Quarter.

Bella Quarter felt uncomfortably sticky and frowned, pulling away the arm around her waist with a hoarse voice, "I’ll go take a shower first."

William didn’t even open his eyes, simply grunting in acknowledgment.

Bella Quarter quietly got out of bed, took a robe, and entered the bathroom.

After the shower, Bella Quarter felt much more comfortable.

She tiptoed back to the bedroom and saw that William was already fast asleep; she quietly lay back down on the bed.

Bella Quarter was now having trouble falling asleep.

Grandmother had told her when she was young

that it was James Thompson and Julia Land who caused the death of her father and mother, and also caused the bankruptcy of Quarter Group.

She was supposed to be the spoiled and cherished daughter of the Quarter Family.

In these few months since Bella Quarter returned to the country, she had never seen James Thompson or Julia Land appear at any event.

To them, she was too insignificant.

Could she really take her revenge?

Bella Quarter gently turned on her side, staring at William’s profile.

She remembered the smell of women’s perfume on the clothes William wore back today.

Bella Quarter frowned, forcing herself to close her eyes and go to sleep.
