Chapter 41 Betraying the Long Family
The news of the three patriarchs coming to apologize quickly spread to the Long family. Lucy Long and
Yank Wood were called back to explain.
As soon as she stepped into the gate, Lucy Long was shocked. Several uncles in the family were all
here. She knew that if the family had not made a big decision, these elders would not have come to the
Longs' Mansion for no reason.
Jack Long and his fellows were looking at them with gloating faces, which made her feel uneasy.
"Grandpa, we're here." Lucy Long shouted softly.
Hearing this, Austin Long slowly raised his head and looked at Lucy Long. There was no joy on his
face, but a little calmness. Finally, his eyes fell on Yank Wood.
The two of them looked at each other fiercely as usual and did not give in to each other.
To Yank Wood's surprise, Ted Long, who was standing aside, took the lead to attack before Austin
Long could speak.
“Lucy Long, do you know your crime?"
"I don't know what kind of crime Lucy has committed. Uncle, please make it clear!"
Lucy Long was at a loss. She didn't understand why her uncle said that. Didn't they say that they would
come back to explain the apology of the three big families? How did it suddenly become to scold her?
"Let me ask you, did The Chapmans, the Lewis family, and the White family go to your mansion
yesterday? The three family masters sent you gifts and apologized to you. Is that true?" Ted Long
looked at Lucy Long with a sinister face and asked.
She was right, but Lucy Long always felt that her uncle's tone was strange.
After thinking for a while, Lucy Long nodded and admitted, "It's true, but it's all because of the previous
grudges. They suddenly came here, and we didn't know it in advance."
Ted Long's eyes flashed, and he asked sternly, "You don't know? Then why did I hear that you didn't go
to the company in the past two days, but stayed at home with Yank Wood?"
Hearing this, Yank Wood's face couldn't help but become cold. Obviously, Ted Long had enough
preparation and asked questions directly.
"This...
" Lucy Long couldn't answer.
She couldn't tell her uncle that she had listened to Yank Wood's words and chose to stay at home to
guard Yank Wood in case of accidents, but she didn't expect that the three families would really come, Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
and their attitude was extremely humble.
But then she reacted and felt that there seemed to be another point in Ted Long's words.
Lucy Long looked at her uncle, Ted Long, with a heavy face and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to
say? Just say it!"
Hearing this, Ted Long grinned hideously. "Well, since you want to know, I will tell you. You have
admitted that the patriarch of the three major families took their child to your mansion to apologize.
Then we suspect that you have a secret relationship with the three families in private and intend to
betray the Long family."
His words were like a bomb exploding in the hall, and everyone was silent.
Lucy Long was even more shocked. How could she betray the Long family that had been living since
she was a child? These words touched her too much as if they were framing her for killing someone.
She couldn't accept it at all.
She couldn't accept this suspicion, so she stumbled back, seemingly about to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, a solid chest leaned against her back, which made her panic and her heart suddenly have
support.
Yank Wood put his hand around Lucy Long's waist, looked at her softly, and whispered, "Don't worry. I'll
help you settle it."
In the past, Lucy Long would definitely shake off Yank Wood’s hand in disgust, but somehow, she saw
strong confidence and concern for her in Yank Wood’s clear eyes, which made her suddenly feel that
she was protected.
This feeling made her nod subconsciously.
“Ted Long, I don't understand what you mean. You mean that the three families sent gifts and
apologized to our family. We have contacts with them, and they also said that my wife intended to
betray the Long family. Then why did she betray the Long family?"
Although Yank Wood didn't like the Long family very much, Lucy Long firmly believed in the Long
family. It was a joke to say that she wanted to betray them. Yank Wood would never allow anyone to
hurt her with this.
Ted Long snorted and said, "She may be tired of being controlled by us. If she wants to establish her
own family and unite with the other three families to invade the Long family, you must have reached
some kind of agreement.
Otherwise, why would they be so polite to you?"
"Haha!" Yank Wood couldn't help laughing.
This greatly humiliated Ted Long. He immediately roared, "What are you laughing at?"
"Of course, I'm laughing at you. Please think about it with your smart brain. Now my wife is the general
manager of the GD Company. Under her management, the GD Company's business is booming, and
its ability is obvious."
"What's more, Austin Long loves my wife the most in his daily life, which is obvious to all. Besides my
wife, there is another candidate for the heir of the Long family. Do you think it is for you?"
Yank Wood said as he looked at Ted Long provocatively and continued, "In such a good situation, who
will be stupid enough to betray me? I think children will make this choice."
Ted Long was speechless and his face darkened.
Before he could say anything, Jack Long, who was standing aside, saw that he was not used to Yank
Wood's arrogance, stood up and said, "Grandpa, Uncles, Yank Wood is right, but we don't know the
details. Maybe Lucy Long is not planning to betray the Long family, but plotting something else with the
three families."
He was also very smart and did not continue, because it was suitable to stop at the right time.
Otherwise, it would be easy for him to get into trouble.
Many people present agreed with his words. They thought that Lucy Long might not betray the Long
family, but she could also do something bold with the other three families, such as assassinating Austin
Long.
Yank Wood also deeply understood that no matter how he explained, no matter how enough the
reason was everyone in the Long family began to be suspicious of Lucy Long just because her
biological father was his master and the adopted son of the Long family.
He had to admit that he wanted to see the change in the situation, but an old fox like Austin Long would
not sit idly by, but he did not respond at the moment.
This made him murmur in his heart.
Before Yank Wood could figure out why Austin Long was so calm, a voice suddenly woke him up.
"I have a suggestion. Just in case, I'd better temporarily deprive the position of general manager of
Lucy Long in the GD Company. There are many talents in the Long family. I believe that we can find a
general manager who can manage the group well."
