Rebirth to take revenge-Chapter 168: Surveillance Footage

Claire’s face showed a hint of difficulty as she said, "Grandma, are you joking? How old is Leander now? Besides, even if there is another generation, it should be Josh’s child who inherits the family business."

Claire deliberately mentioned Leander’s name to remind the old lady of the Greg family. Even if Leander inherited the family business, it should be the Miller Group, not the Greg family’s business.

Although the old lady of the Greg family was elderly, she could still grasp the meaning behind Claire’s words. Her face remained unchanged as she raised her bony hand and said, "Your brother’s personality is such that he may never get married in this lifetime. I don’t expect him to carry on the Greg family line. That’s why I must keep this child. In the future, our Greg family will rely on him to uphold our reputation."

Upon hearing the old lady’s words, Claire’s face darkened slightly. Fortunately, Alex did not come along today. If he had heard this, he would have made a scene.

Thinking of this, Claire couldn’t help but take a deep breath. "Grandma, you can’t do this! Leander is your grandson, but he is also Alex’s child. This is not something the two of us can decide."

Upon hearing Claire’s words, the old lady’s eyes flickered.

" Claire, Grandma didn’t think this through. But don’t worry, I will never mistreat this child. He will be the child that Grandma loves the most."

Upon hearing this, Claire’s heart slightly relaxed. However, Leander was still young, and who knew what the future held? Just then, Josh suddenly spoke from behind.

"Grandmother is right. The matter of the heir should be arranged in advance. Otherwise, if something were to happen to me, wouldn’t the Greg family be left without an owner?"

Claire turned around in surprise, not knowing when Josh had appeared. It seemed that he had been listening attentively to their conversation.

"What are you talking about, child?" The old lady snorted and scolded Josh.

Josh sneered and pursed his lips. "I’m just telling the truth. The people living in the Greg family now are not just those with the Greg surname. Who knows if someone might have ulterior motives? It’s better to be safe than sorry, right?"

Hearing Josh’s insinuations, Claire’s mood became complicated. She knew that he was referring to her mother, Miss Sophia.

"Alright, stop talking," the old lady frowned and spoke up. Seeing the exhaustion on her face, Claire didn’t want to upset her any further.

"Josh, you’re so outstanding. There must be many people pursuing you. Finding a suitable person to marry shouldn’t be difficult. Don’t worry about these things."

Upon hearing Claire’s words, Josh’s eyes flickered with an indescribable expression. He uncomfortably turned his head to the side and looked at Leander, his gaze falling on the smartwatch on the child’s wrist.

"Kid, how’s your research going with the watch?"

Upon hearing this, Leander immediately turned his body and hid the watch behind him.

"This is Leander’s treasure, Uncle. You can’t take it away."

Josh narrowed his eyes when he saw this. "I was just asking."

Seeing that he didn’t believe him, Josh took out his own watch. "I have this watch too. I’m not interested in yours." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"I just wanted to ask about your progress."

Leander clenched the watch tightly in his hand, not letting Josh see it. He shook his head and said, "I’m not telling you."

Leander’s attitude angered Josh. "How can you talk to your elders like that?"

Josh reached out to take the watch from Leander, but the boy dodged it skillfully.

"The functions in here are simple for me, but I won’t tell you."

Leander provocatively looked at Josh and muttered, "Uncle, you can’t even figure out something so simple, can you?"

Josh’s face turned cold, but he suppressed his anger and softened his voice, saying, "Well, that’s why Uncle wants to learn from you."

Upon hearing this, Leander nodded seriously and said, "I can teach you. But my mom told me that learning something requires paying tuition."

Saying this, Leander reached out his small hand and looked at Josh expectantly.

This look made Josh feel familiar. He glanced at Claire.

"What kind of mother, what kind of child." Claire couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Leander, and helplessly said, "Leander, stop messing around. This is your uncle, not someone to ask for tuition fees."

Leander tilted his head and reluctantly nodded, saying, "Okay, for the sake of my mother’s face, I’ll teach my uncle for free."

Josh’s face darkened even more at these words. Did this kid think he had no money?

Josh gritted his teeth, feeling resentful. "No need, just tell me what you want," he said. "Don’t worry, Uncle won’t treat you unfairly."

"Okay, it’s settled then," Leander agreed with a smile.

Josh’s face softened a bit at this, but Leander’s next words made his face freeze.

"Uncle, when you bought the watch, Dad said there was only one in the world. But since you can get a second one, you must know the person who made it, right? If so, can you ask them to make two more for my parents?"

Leander blinked his big watery eyes, and his words almost made Josh explode.

"You..."

Could this kid think that the watch was a dime a dozen and could be requested so easily?

But he guessed right.

The founder of this watch was none other than the Greg Group. However, the materials used to make the watch were very rare, and after searching the world, there was only a small amount available.

After making the second watch, there wasn’t much material left. If they made two more, they would run out completely. However, if they didn’t agree to it, even if they made the watch, it would be useless.

"Leander, stop it!" Claire said coldly.

Josh took a deep breath and swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth. "Fine, I agree," he said. "But you have to teach me first."

Upon seeing this, Leander’s mouth curled into a sly smile. He turned to his mother and said, "Mom, Leander is very well-behaved. Don’t be so nervous!"

Then, he moved over and sat beside Josh. He extended a little finger and said, "Uncle, let’s pinky promise. If we lie, we’ll be like little dogs."

Josh’s mouth twitched, and after a while, he extended his finger and hooked it with Leander’s, saying, "Pinky promise."

Claire sighed helplessly. Josh, on the other hand, looked at Leander and suddenly felt that he didn’t seem like a five-year-old child at all. If he treated him like a child, he would either be tricked or annoyed to death. This kid had so many tricks up his sleeve.

Josh thought to himself that he had to make sure that Leander taught him the watch-making skills properly this time. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble he might cause in the future!

After reaching home Claire decided to give Alex a phone call to check up on him.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally dialed his number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Claire gritted her teeth and threw the phone on the sofa.

"What’s wrong? I called your dad, but no one answered," Claire said anxiously. Leander sat on the other side of the sofa and said, "Dad... should be in a meeting. At this time, he definitely can’t be distracted. Mom, don’t worry." His voice was gentle yet reassuring.

Hearing this, Claire’s originally tense heart relaxed slightly.

"Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Leander asked curiously. Hearing his voice, Claire looked up at him and asked, "Leander, do you think I should go to your dad’s company?"

Leander blinked a few times and asked, "Mommy, are you going to pick up Dad from work?"

Claire bit her lip and continued, "I am a doctor, after all. Since there is a problem with the medicine, maybe I can help."

Leander shook his head seriously and said, "Mommy can’t help. I think Mommy just can’t see Dad and is anxious."

After speaking, Leander jumped off the sofa, walked to Claire’s side with his short legs, and pulled her sleeve, looking up at her and saying, "Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll let you see Daddy right away."

Claire was taken aback but didn’t take Leander’s words to heart. She just smiled with relief, thinking that he was only trying to comfort her.

However, what Leander did next surprised Claire greatly. He pressed a few buttons on his smartwatch, and soon, the conference room where Alex was located was projected onto the wall in the living room.

"This is the surveillance footage from Daddy’s company. As long as I pull this up, Mommy can see Daddy," Leander explained.

Claire widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at the wall. In the footage, Alex was sitting at the head of the table, dressed neatly and looking serious. Several elite executives sat around him, all with serious expressions.
