Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 129: Reprimand

The Sterling family.

Ethan Sterling arrived at the door with a sullen face, only to see Heath Sterling returning in a loud sports car.

This sound inexplicably made him even more furious, and he couldn’t help but scold: "From now on, don’t drive such a car home!"

Heath stood there nonchalantly, cluelessly asked: "Dad, what’s wrong?"

"Get inside!" Ethan gestured for Heath to enter the house.

Heath thought he was in trouble again, talking to himself as he walked: "I haven’t done anything wrong these past few days..."

After entering the house, Heath’s mom had just returned from playing mahjong with friends, lying on the sofa watching TV.

"Lainey." Ethan sat down beside her, his voice deep.

Heath’s mom was stunned, thinking he had encountered another problem at the company, quickly sat up and asked: "Is someone trying to take our family’s shares again?"

Heath lazily sat down, peeled an orange to watch the drama, realizing his dad wasn’t angry because of him.

"Yes." Ethan clenched his fist.

"Who is it? I’ll give them a beating!" Heath jokingly prepared to get up.

"Sit down!" But Ethan got angry, "Shut up, this has nothing to do with you."

Heath’s mom was shocked by Ethan’s sudden state, he rarely got angry, proving this was serious.

"What’s going on? Just tell me."

Ethan frowned at Heath’s mom, "Did you offend someone you shouldn’t recently?"

Heath’s mom racked her brains, thinking for a long time, "No..."

Hearing this, Heath suddenly swallowed the piece of orange he had put in his mouth without chewing, stared blankly at Heath’s mom, furrowing his brow.

Upon seeing Heath’s reaction, Heath’s mom had a realization!

"You mean Moira Young?" Heath’s mom’s shocked look convinced Ethan it was true.

"I don’t know who it is, but because of this, Julian Sinclair wants me to give up 20% of my shares."

"Julian Sinclair?" Heath fiercely threw the remaining half of the orange into the trash, his gaze sharp, "Who is he to demand our family’s shares?"

Heath’s mom panicked, "Heath is right, who does he think he is?"

Ethan was truly so angry, he couldn’t catch his breath, pointing at Heath’s mom he scolded: "Don’t you know Julian Sinclair’s status? Not just 20%, even 100% of the shares is just a flick of his finger!"

Heath’s mom was scared out of her wits, slumped back on the sofa.

She couldn’t believe... never expected...

"You mean... Moira Young is Julian Sinclair’s woman, so Julian Sinclair is stepping in for Moira Young?" Heath’s mom confirmed again, filled with fear and unease.

"Nonsense!" Heath stopped Heath’s mom, furrowing his brow to defend Moira Young, "Julian Sinclair is just Moira Young’s Uncle, how can she mysteriously become his woman?"

Ethan increasingly felt things weren’t as simple as he thought, clearly it was Lainey’s fault, why is Heath so agitated?

"Dad, Julian Sinclair wants us to give up shares, tell him I disagree." Heath stood casually, hands in pockets.

"This isn’t about whether you agree or not, it’s about whether he’ll let us go." Ethan squinted at Heath, "What’s your relationship with that Moira Young?"

Heath raised an eyebrow, stubbornly said: "She’s my girlfriend."

"Nonsense!" Heath’s mom and Ethan simultaneously scolded.

"Absurd!" Ethan slammed the table, angrily pointing at Heath’s nose, "She is Julian Sinclair’s woman, do you think you can afford to offend!"

Ethan then looked puzzled at Heath’s mom, "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"How many things between you mother and son are unknown to me?"

"You... you..." Ethan’s face turned red, suddenly couldn’t catch his breath, trembling hand clutching his chest, legs weakened collapsing to the ground!

"Dad—!"

"Ethan!"

They hurriedly lifted Ethan up, fortunately, he managed to gradually ease his fury.

Heath’s mom was close to tears, "Don’t get angry, catch your breath first."

"Dad, it’s just 20% of the shares? Give it to him, your health is more important!" Heath inadvertently poked Ethan’s sore spot.

"Our family’s shares have been split so poorly, even though others have very little, we only have 39% left..."

"If we give him 20% more, the Sterling Group would have to change its surname to Sinclair..."

Ethan struggled to speak, continuously coughing, clearly still having difficulty breathing.

Heath calculated for a long time to finally understand, "What if we just don’t give it?"

Ethan helplessly glanced at Heath’s mom, suddenly seeming to age several years, "Julian Sinclair is certain we wouldn’t give it, he just wants to find trouble for your mom under this pretext."

"Lainey, now tell me honestly what happened?"

Heath couldn’t help his mom this time, last time she directed and brought trouble for herself indeed.

"I... I just invited that girl out for a meeting, and she stole my wallet, that’s all..." Heath’s mom’s gaze evading.

"You still won’t tell the truth? Would Julian Sinclair’s woman even look at your wallet?" Ethan violently coughed blood.

"Ethan..." Heath’s mom was truly frightened, "Quick! Heath, take your dad to the hospital!"

Heath was extremely anxious, his dad’s health was already poor due to overworking, and now this... He was shocked and almost stumbled as he ran out.

Now the room was left with only Heath’s mom and Ethan.

"Ethan... I’ll go apologize personally, just hopefully give them anything but our shares, I’m willing to lose face..." Heath’s mom drew tissues to wipe blood from Ethan’s lips, her hands trembling.

"How can you willingly deliver yourself? Julian Sinclair is rumored to be ruthless in his dealings, he—" Ethan was interrupted by Heath’s mom.

"Those are just rumors..."

"Rumors aren’t created from nothing!" Ethan coughed heavily, appearing very uncomfortable, Heath’s mom repeatedly patting his back hoping to relieve him.

"Our ancestors lived in this city, have seen all kinds of people, but Julian Sinclair who emerged in recent years is truly frightening..."

"Cough cough... why offend anyone but get involved with his woman..."

Heath’s mom now regretted deeply, "Previously that girl moved into Heath’s small apartment, they’ve lived together... Over two years ago Heath broke his leg because of that girl, she clearly carries bad luck, how can I watch her harm Heath again?"

"Now it’s useless saying this, we must find a way to solve the problem." Ethan finished talking just as Heath rushed in. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Heath’s eyes were red, carrying Ethan into the car, "Dad, just don’t think of anything now, let’s go to the hospital first."

Ethan wasn’t sure if there was a nervous issue, his head tilted and couldn’t straighten, Heath’s mom affectionately comforting him.

"Julian Sinclair only gave me a day, I must give him an answer by tomorrow afternoon." Ethan’s eyes reflected his age, he values the Sterling Group greatly, but Lainey is his wife.

"I’ll go find him tomorrow afternoon." Heath suddenly said solemnly.
