Chapter 1129: 010 Cheng Cheng has arrived (Boss Li)

After signing, Simon Carrington arranged the paperwork, and Henry Carrington came home that evening.

Seeing Henry Carrington return so abruptly, Shane Auclair and Heidi Carrington could hardly believe it. Henry glanced at his wife and daughter and, knowing Stella Carrington must have left, still asked, "Did Stella let her dad take her away?"

"Yes, wasn’t it you who told me to do so?" Shane nodded her head, mainly relieved that Henry was back home, "How come you’re back today? Didn’t Simon say I should come at ten tomorrow?"

"He’s more ruthless than we thought. He stripped me of my real power in the company. I’m no longer the General Manager of the branch office." Henry walked to the couch in the living room and sat down, speaking in a somewhat dejected tone.

With the Carrington Family’s stock dividends, they could still get by, but his wife and daughter would have to cut back on expenses. He felt he had let them down.

"What? He stripped you of your powers, and you’re no longer the General Manager of the company? Then what did he assign you to do?" Shane couldn’t believe it; they were all family members, and Simon had been so ruthless this time.

"If I’m not the General Manager, does it matter what I do? What do you think I can do now except resign voluntarily? And our annual dividends will be ten million less from now on. I’m sorry, my wife, but it looks like we will have to live more frugally from now on."

Henry now deeply regretted his greed for that hundred million, which caused his wife and daughter to live such a humbled life. As a father and husband, he really let them down.

"Don’t say that. You’ve really tried your best for our family." Shane suddenly hugged Henry’s arm. When she married him, she truly loved him, and it was only later that she found out he was the Young Master of the Carrington family. She had lived the life of a wealthy wife for many years, and now, as long as she had her family, she didn’t care much about losing their former lifestyle.

The couple embraced and comforted each other. Shane knew that Henry was a man with a lot of pride, and if he couldn’t be the General Manager, then he would certainly resign. To be a mere staff at Carrington would be worse than death to him.

Simon Carrington had really gone too far this time.

Seeing her parents like this, Heidi suddenly felt a surge of resentment toward her uncle. Was their family going to lose their former glory because of him?

If so, then she would no longer like her uncle.

When Simon Carrington returned home, it was already midnight. Violet Carrington and Stella Carrington had gone to bed long ago. He had booked a ticket back to M Country for the following night, hoping to give Stella one more day to decide whether she wanted to go back with him or not.

In the end, Stella would rather live with her aunt than return to a home that included Daisy Willow and Elena Duncan.

Simon finally understood. He didn’t want to talk too much about the adult issues with Stella right now. He thought, as time passed and Stella grew up, she would surely understand one day.

Now, with Violet by her side taking care of her and Daisy Willow around, he and Daisy were a bit more at ease.

In the evening, though Stella was reluctant, Violet still took her to the airport to see Simon off. When Simon left, Stella’s eyes were still watery.

Violet, who had been watching all along, only spoke to Stella after knowing Simon couldn’t see them anymore, "If you miss dad so much, why not go with him? As far as I know, your stepmother should be quite nice. Liam has accepted her, hasn’t he?"

"Liam is still a kid, he’s easily deceived, Aunt Violet." Stella said indifferently. That brat Liam Carrington was such a dummy; she truly didn’t want to be his sister.

"Is that so? Everyone says that the kid is pretty smart." Violet didn’t agree. Liam Carrington seemed like a fortunate person, and he wasn’t nice to just anyone; Daisy Willow was an exception.

This woman was able to make Liam Carrington call her ’mom’, which showed that she was either very capable or indeed a good person.

Violet had a feeling Daisy Willow belonged to the latter category; otherwise, both Simon and Liam Carrington wouldn’t have been charmed by this woman.

"..." Stella didn’t want to talk.

Violet said no more. After all, they would live together in the future, and how long that would be, she couldn’t say.
