Chapter 198

Ch. 198 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

Scarlet didn't pay attention to the interlude just now and ordered the meat on the table.

Freya put a piece of roasted tenderloin into the ginger soup bowl and said, "Have a try."

Sara took a bite of the steaming barbecue, and her happy eyes narrowed. "It's delicious!"

Freya immediately became proud. "That's right, I am a barbecue expert!"

Scarlet said, "... That's enough, isn't it? You're just being roasted. Sara gave you a little color, but you're really going to open the dye shop?"

"..." Freya pouted and said, "You're really annoying."

After a barbecue, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Scarlet wanted to take Sara to go shopping, but she didn't want to go back too late. After saying goodbye to the two people, she waited for Dominik to pick her up.

After returning to the Reminisland, Hank was already at home.

Sara put down her schoolbag and greeted him. "Nice to meet you, uncle."

Today, the old man, who had a meal alone, was in a bad mood again. He looked at Sara and said, "Come here."

"Oh." Sara nodded and walked over obediently. Hank grabbed her wrist and looked at it. The bruise was still there, but it was much better and the color had faded.

Hank rubbed his fingers against his skin for a while before asking, "Does it hurt?"

Sara shook her head. "It's no longer painful."

Hank narrowed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long while, he answered with a hum and asked, "Did you go out for dinner with your classmates today?"

Sara: "Mm, let's go eat the barbecue."

Hank held her hand as if he was playing with some precious porcelain. He said in a gentle voice, "Have you made a lot of friends?"

Sara did not have many friends before.

However, the current Neighborhoods Freya and Alex are already a lot of people. Thus, she nodded and said in a gentle voice. "That's right. They've made a lot of friends. They're all very good."

After a pause, she thought of the old man's stubborn character and added, "But uncle is still the best."

Hank sneered and asked her to sit down on the sofa, "Don't you have anything to tell uncle about Mamond?"

Sara immediately said, "There are some! There are a lot of them!"

She told Hank the story of Kenzie stealing her prescription without knowing the medicinal effects of it. The beautiful deer's eyes were full of bright light, like the rising sun. Even if the light was not so dazzling, no one would deny that it would eventually be the most dazzling existence between heaven and earth.

Finally, Sara concluded, "I was very angry at the beginning, but when they were speechless after being asked by me at the restaurant on the top of the mountain, I felt that they were so stupid. They studied western medicine, and they didn't study the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine in advance. How could they be so easily knocked out?"

Hank looked at her quietly. After she finished speaking, he reached out and touched her head. "Well, Sara is very good. At that time, did you ever think about it? If they answered and accused you of stealing the prescription, what should you do?"

Sara said a little embarrassedly in a low voice, "Then, then call uncle..."

Hank smiled and kissed her cheek as a reward. "You're a good girl. So remember, no matter what you did, I'm behind you. You don't need to be afraid of anyone."

Sara blushed a little. "But it feels like he's bullying others with his power."

Hank said joyfully, "That's because you're a good girl. If Uncle is willing to give you power, others won't be able to do so even if they want to."

When Hank said these things, he would always give Sara the feeling that she cherished. However, her heart had only been beating rapidly for a few seconds when she remembered what she heard outside the study that day. Her blood suddenly turned cold and she pursed her lips.

"What's wrong?" Hank sensed that something was wrong with Sara. "What's wrong with you?"

Sara shook her head and said, "No, I just suddenly remembered something... Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it." Hank raised his hand and touched her cheek. "Want some sweets? Aunt Dovlin made almond."

"Hmm," Sara said. "I want to eat."

After eating almond tofu, Sara went upstairs to take a bath. She wanted to go to the room to read books for a while. Hank said, "Come to the study."

Sara was taken aback. "Aren't you going to disturb your work?"

She was not sure what Hank's position was, but she knew that he was very busy. The study rooms of such people were all important places, and even Aunt Dovlin could not go in easily.

"No." Hank grabbed Sara's wrist with one hand. "If you're tired, come back and sleep. I might be late today."

"Oh," Sara said.

Hank had been dealing with the documents. Sara carefully read more than ten pages of the medical book. She rubbed her eyes and tears welled up in them. She put the book away and said in a low voice, "Uncle, I'm going back to sleep."

Hank hummed in agreement and tapped himself on the cheek. "Kiss me before you leave."

Sara was already very familiar with this kind of thing. She kissed him gently on the cheek and left with her book in her arms.

Hank lowered his eyelashes and looked at the document in his hand.

It was an industrial investigation report, which clearly stated the development of Martin Pharma.

18 years ago, the Martin Pharma also experienced a bankruptcy crisis. At that time, the notice of bankruptcy in the court was going to be issued, but Yen got the sponsorship of some mysterious man. He got a large sum of money to turn back the crisis and saved the Martin Pharma.

This matter had been passed for a long time.

The mysterious investor at that time did not leave too much information. Even his men spent some twists and turns to find some news.

The mysterious investor who had invested money in Martin Group for 18 years and held 32 shares of Martin Pharma was a woman. Her name was Caroline.

In other words, if it weren't for Caroline, Martin Pharma would have gone bankrupt 18 years ago.

Yen had been keeping this matter a secret. It was estimated that he didn't even know about Lilly and William. Did Caroline invest in Martin Pharma because of love for a moment, or... did she have other purposes?

Hank didn't care much about this. He only knew that Caroline had been holding 32 shares in Yen's hands all the time. Caroline didn't have a will, but according to the law distribution, these shares should belong to Sara, the direct heir. If Sara got 32 percent of the shares and bought a little more, then Martin Pharma would be transferred to another owner.

He didn't want to take action directly, but he wanted Sara to take back what belonged to her.

Sara was very smart and must be able to do it perfectly.
