Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1087 - 563: Extra Story: She and He, Already Gone Separate Ways (Part 2)

"Mm.""Then I won’t disturb you... Doctor Robinson, thank you for your hard work."

After the dean left, Chester Robinson intended to return to his office, but Director Turner intercepted him in the corridor.

Chester didn’t pause his steps due to Director Turner’s presence, but Director Turner hurriedly approached, quietly calling out, "Mr. Robinson..."

Chester said flatly, "Let’s talk in my office!"

"Okay."

"Alice, the first batch of Sally’s wine cellar will be launched in these two days. As per tradition, the Robinsons will hold a press conference to announce it. What do you think about scheduling this event soon?"

In the office of Sally Vineyard, Uncle Grant was reporting to Alice Robinson.

Alice, with her hair tied and dressed in a white office outfit, appeared much more mature than her usual graceful girl-like attire.

"Okay, Uncle Grant, you make the arrangements."

"Alright, I’ll handle it now."

"Wait..."

"Is there anything else, Alice?" Uncle Grant turned back.

Alice shook her head with a smile, "I just feel very guilty... You’re getting on in years, yet I still have to trouble you with everything, Uncle Grant."

Uncle Grant sighed, "Ever since your father passed away, I’ve felt guilty for not being able to help you and your brother in the struggle over the inheritance. Fortunately, Chester, despite his lack of interest in the Robinson’s winery business, managed to preserve this asset... As an old friend and former subordinate of your father, serving the Robinsons all my life is my duty, but I’m getting old and can’t always be there to help you, so, in the future, you will need to rely more on yourself!"

"Don’t worry, Uncle Grant, I’ll definitely work hard... I plan to officially take over all of Robinson’s winery matters after this year."

"But Alice..."

"Hm?"

Uncle Grant looked a bit troubled, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to assist you until the end of the year..."

Alice was taken aback, "Why?"

Uncle Grant said, "You know my health isn’t good, I have diabetes. The doctor has advised me to be hospitalized several times, but I refused. However, the latest time, the doctor said if I don’t get hospitalized, my condition might worsen... I’ve already decided to retire after this month, after Sally holds the new product launch."

Alice stood up in surprise, "Uncle Grant..."

Uncle Grant waved his hand and said, "Alice, I know what you want to say, but after being busy with work all these years, I’m truly tired, and I hope you will fulfill this wish of mine."

Seeing the weary look on Uncle Grant’s aged face, the words Alice wanted to say all got stuck in her throat.

Uncle Grant apologetically said, "Alice, after observing these days, I’ve come to realize that you taking over the Robinson’s business is the right choice... You’re very talented in business and diligent. I believe that under your leadership, the Robinson’s business will surely thrive."

Alice sighed deeply, "Health is the most important thing, and indeed I shouldn’t trouble you anymore, Uncle Grant..." Alice nodded and resolutely said to him, "Rest assured, I will work hard."

Uncle Grant smiled lovingly, "Even if I can’t help the Robinsons anymore, I will always have the best wishes for the Robinson family in my heart."

"Thank you, Uncle Grant... In appreciation of your contributions to the Robinsons over the years, I will certainly ensure you have enough savings for retirement."

"Thank you..."

"It’s what you deserve."

"Well, Alice, I’ll go handle the press conference matters now..."

"Mm, alright."

After Uncle Grant left, Alice bit her lip and sat worriedly in the chair.

She sighed, leaned back in the chair, and stared blankly at the ceiling of the office.

The ringing of the phone broke the silence in the room. Picking it up, Alice placed it next to her ear and answered, "Hello..."

"Are you done with your work?"

"Not yet, I still have a few winery reports to review today."

"You sound very tired?"

Alice immediately sat up straight, "It’s fine... just starting with management, it’s always a bit tough."

"Have you encountered any unsolvable problems?"

"Not at the moment... Under my management, the winery is still relatively calm."

Claud Laurence finally chuckled softly.

Alice was dissatisfied, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

"You say nothing... I heard you laugh."

"Do you really want me to say it?"

"Mm."

"I’m afraid my investment might not do well."

"Hey, you don’t believe in my abilities that much?"

Claud just laughed again, "Alright, alright, I believe in you... But if you ever face a problem you can’t solve, make sure to tell me, okay?"

"Mm."

"I’ll come to pick you up at six."

Alice glanced at her wristwatch, "Okay, I should be done by six."

"See you later."

"See you later."

After sending Charlotte Yule back to Yule’s Mansion, it was already 8 PM.

Keith Antony looked at Chester Robinson, who was in the back seat with his eyes closed, not daring to disturb him but having to ask, "Boss, should I take you to the hotel or home?"

Ever since he had taken Alice to T City without permission and nearly gotten fired, Keith no longer dared to guess his boss’s thoughts casually.

He had thought the boss had feelings for Miss Alice, but he hadn’t expected to hurt her like that.

Since then, he didn’t dare to act on his own.

"Home," Chester said nonchalantly without opening his eyes.

"Yes."

Keith turned the car around, driving towards the ancient Robinson mansion.

They arrived at the Robinson mansion at 9 PM.

The car’s headlights lit the road ahead. Suddenly, as the car turned towards the gate of the Robinson mansion, Keith slowed the car down.

"What’s wrong?" Chester asked.

"Sir..." Keith hesitated.

Chester slowly opened his eyes, the scene in front of the windshield reflecting in his deep, dark pupils.
