Chapter 353 Caleb Blacks Out Because of Anger
In Villa Amio.
After Ceres left, the house suddenly became much quieter. Even the servants felt that something was missing when they were cooking.
Usually, Johny and Swedum rarely spoke to each other.
They sat at the table and ate quietly. Swedum had no appetite and simply put a fork into the plate.
"Eat your meal." Johny glanced at Swedum.
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't quarreled with mommy, mommy wouldn't have left. It's all because of you that mommy left in anger. I want mommy."
Swedum looked at Johny angrily.
Johny refuted, "Don't talk while eating! Do you still need me to teach you this?"
Swedum pursed his lips and continued eating.
In the evening, Johny lay on the empty bed with his mind full of Ceres. It had only been a few days since they lived happily.
Johny sat up. He thought, 'No. I must come up with an idea.'
Because Johny didn't sleep well at night, he seemed to be very listless when he arrived at the company.
During the meeting, everyone seemed to notice that Johny was in a bad mood. All of them were nervous.
A few days ago, Eagle Group finally released a new product. It was a smart speaker. People had been expecting Eagle Group to produce a robot. After all, the robot that the Cosmos Corporation copied was already so amazing. If Eagle Group made a robot themselves, it would definitely be better.
However, Eagle Group didn't release a robot. It was just a smart speaker, which somewhat disappointed everyone.
Therefore, the company was still discussing how to sell the smart speaker.
"If we want to sell our speakers, why don't we try to reduce the price? Anyway, the production cost of this speaker is not high. We can try it."
"The price of this speaker is already determined to be affordable for ordinary families. Even if it is a promotion, I don't think it will have much effect." They discussed heatedly.
Johny didn't seem to be thinking about the question. "We won't reduce the price. Next question."
Everyone didn't quite understand why Johny had released a smart speaker at this time. But, there was nothing they could do since Johny was the president.
"Mr. Johny, we are preparing to expand our business to Country M. I think we can put it on the agenda. Domestic development is not bad. It is time to expand the foreign market."
Johny suddenly looked at the person who spoke, as if he was suddenly fired up.
"I will personally be responsible for the expansion to Country M. The meeting is over."
After saying that, Johny immediately stood up and returned to his office, leaving the others looking at each other at a loss.
They were surprised that Johny as the president would personally expand the foreign market. Generally speaking, expanding the foreign market only needed a small team. After all, the main business was still in the home country. They didn't know what was wrong with Johny that he had to personally do it.
Johny immediately called Bob when Johny returned to the office.
"The company has decided to expand the business to Country M. I need to personally inspect and supervise over there for a period of time. You should pay attention to the matters in the company." "What?" Bob was also puzzled. "You want to go there personally, right? It's good enough to form a small team for this kind of thing. Why do you..."
"It's settled then."
Johny hung up before Bob recovered himself.
There was a sly smile on Johny's lips. He finally had a proper reason to go to Country M.
Ceres was grounded in the Bullock's manor. Caleb and Ceres were in a standoff. No one was willing to compromise.
Caleb paced back and forth in the living room. He thought, 'Ceres is too stubborn. She doesn't want to change her name or surname and refused to do a DNA test. I've already let her do as she pleased. I can no longer compromise, but she refuses to give in.'
The servant brought the plates out of Ceres' room. Seeing the empty plates, Caleb looked at the servants in confusion.
"She ate the meal, right?"
"Yes." The servant nodded.
"She doesn't refuse to eat, right?"
The servant shook her head. "No, she eats almost the same every meal. It seems that she has a good appetite."
Caleb was so angry that he couldn't even eat. However, Ceres had a good appetite. This made Caleb extremely unhappy.
"What is she doing?"
"After finishing eating, Ms. Ceres said that there was too much meat today. She asked me to bring a plate of fruit and a cup of yogurt. She is listening to music in her room now."
Ceres could listen to music, eat fruits, and have yogurt. She had a leisure life.
Caleb went upstairs angrily. He didn't even knock on the door before walking in. He saw Ceres seated on the bed, listening to music while playing games. She looked so free and happy as if nothing had happened.
Caleb walked over and turned off the speaker. The music stopped abruptly.
Ceres raised her head and glanced at Caleb. "What's up?"
Caleb was speechless for a moment.
"If there's nothing else, turn on the speaker." Ceres lowered her head and continued to play games.
"Are you trying to upset me?"
"If you think I upset you, then let me go. It is you who force me to stay here. I don't want to stay here." Ceres rolled her eyes.
"What?" Caleb put his hands on his waist. "I am your biological father! How could you treat me in this way?"
"You only contributed a sperm. Have you done anything else for me?"
These words made Caleb even angrier.
"Oh, I forgot. You did something. You gave me a slap. You allowed your fake daughter to disfigure me. Because I was disfigured, I could only stay in this manor as a servant. I picked feces, washed hot springs, and gave people a massage."
Ceres counted with her fingers and couldn't help sneering.
Caleb's face turned red. In the end, he felt guilty.
"Alright. I didn't know you were my biological daughter then. Let it go." Caleb waved his arm. He could not apologize to her.
"How could you say let it go? I can't let it go," Ceres said as she put her hands on her chest.
"Then what do you want?"
Caleb gave in.
"No matter what happened, I won't call you father. Anyway, I can't let it go!"
"You..."
Caleb felt dizzy and he suddenly couldn't see anything.
Seeing his face turn pale, Ceres immediately asked, "What's up?"
Caleb did not say anything and fell to the ground.
"Hey! Don't scare me!" Ceres quickly stood up. "This trick isn't good for me!"
Seeing that Caleb's face was pale, Ceres started to shout, "Help! Is anyone there?"
