Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 305 - 296: Weekend at the Old Residence

Old Master Forrester walked to the inner courtyard of the Grant Family, and from a distance, he saw the entire Grant Family of four sitting solemnly in the main hall.

He called out, "Old Master Grant," and Old Master Grant quickly came out from the main hall, smiling, "Old Forrester, you’re here?"

Saying that, he turned to take the birdcage hanging on a tree in the courtyard.

Seeing that Old Master Grant’s attitude towards him hadn’t changed, Old Master Forrester knew that this matter hadn’t implicated Sienna Thornton, and his tense mood relaxed considerably.

He turned his head to look at the main hall and asked, "Is Zane also here today?"

Zachary Grant was Old Master Grant’s second son, a high-ranking official in an important national department, with a rank several levels higher than Quentin Thorne. Although he lived in the Grant Family’s old residence, he was rarely seen.

Old Master Grant smiled awkwardly, "Yes, something happened, so I called him back."

With that, the two old men walked out of the Grant Family’s courtyard together, heading to the Forrester Family’s old residence next door to get Old Master Forrester’s birdcage.

Adding up their ages, the two were nearly two hundred years old. Each carrying their precious birdcage, they crossed the main road to the park across the street.

After walking the birds for a while and seeing that Old Master Grant was in a good mood, Old Master Forrester took the opportunity to ask, "I just saw the Thorne couple also came by, what happened?"

Old Master Grant didn’t hide anything and said bluntly, "Ian Grant got confused and hired someone to follow Quentin Thorne. Whenever Quentin met with a woman, they took photos. As a result, the person she hired to take the photos was found by other people’s bodyguards and forced to hand over all the photos." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

At this point, Old Master Grant sighed deeply, "The women in those photos are either high-ranking officials in important departments or wives of officials. This has blown up! Zane was dumbfounded when he saw those photos!"

Old Master Forrester was also taken aback and cautiously asked, "...Thorne was talking about serious matters with those wives, right?"

Old Master Grant’s eyes widened, and he quickly clarified, afraid that even his old neighbor would misunderstand his son-in-law, "Of course they were talking about serious matters! But with what Ian did, it now looks like there’s something ambiguous going on! Offending so many people at once, both Zane and I don’t know how to clean up Ian’s mess!"

Old Master Forrester shook his head repeatedly and suggested, "It wouldn’t be appropriate for your Grant Family to handle this. Since those people have good relations with Quentin, it’s best for Quentin to bring Ian to explain and make peace with them."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Grant became more worried, stopped teasing the birds, and sat down on a nearby stone bench, lamenting, "Quentin is about to divorce Ian! Would he even be willing to help her explain? Precisely because of Ian’s inappropriate actions, he’s divorcing with such conviction."

Old Master Forrester didn’t say anything further, thinking to himself: Quentin Thorne might be an old fox, but he’s still crafty!

At this stage, Quentin Thorne frequently met privately with women, which not only weakened the suspicion on Sienna Thornton but also pushed Ian towards divorce. Moreover, with Ian offending so many people, no one would blame him. Instead, people would sympathize with him as a poor middle-aged man tortured by a controlling wife.

Old Master Forrester thought that Quentin Thorne would soon acknowledge Sienna Thornton.

Once this father and daughter recognized each other, his grandson’s marriage would be close at hand, and a great-grandchild wouldn’t be far behind.

Old Master Forrester returned to the old residence in high spirits. As soon as he entered, he caught his grandson, who was smoking by the pond.

Seeing Simon Forrester smoking, the old man immediately imagined his chubby precious great-grandson being harmed by secondhand smoke, and he angrily grabbed the newly lit cigarette from between Simon’s fingers.

The old man kicked his grandson’s butt and sternly said, "Quit smoking!"

Simon Forrester was lost in thought, watching the goldfish and turtles in the pond, and when the cigarette in his hand was suddenly taken away, he was about to reprimand whoever dared, but when he turned and saw it was Old Master Forrester, he momentarily forgot his anger. He glanced at Sienna Thornton, who was watching TV in the living room, and lowered his voice to ask, "How did it go? What’s going on with the Grant Family?"

Old Master Forrester then recounted what he’d heard at Old Master Grant’s place.

Simon Forrester fell into deep thought. After a long while, he smiled in admiration, "Dean Thorne’s move is brilliant! He’s got the Grant Family by the throat!"

Old Master Forrester nodded, "Yes. Now that Ian sees her husband frequently meeting with so many women, how can she still care about Sienna Thornton’s mere two meetings with Dean Thornton?"

"I originally thought that only if Candy and Dean Thorne acknowledged each other would Aunt Grant’s suspicions be dispelled. But with Aunt Grant around, how could those two recognize each other?" Simon Forrester sighed, "I thought for several days and couldn’t come up with a solution, but Dean Thorne played such a risky move."
