CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 510: THE TIME TO SETTLE THINGS

James Grant saw him approaching and displayed a slight smile.

The smile was calm and almost gentle as he called out, "Dad, it’s been a long time, how is your health?"

Harrison Grant regained a bit of his composure and responded flatly, "Not bad. So, you finally decided to come back?"

Several nearby guests noticed this somewhat breakthrough between father and son and quickly came over to smooth things over.

"Oh my, Young Grant is truly a talented and filial son, he must have specially come back for this, right?"

"Yes, yes, Chairman Grant, your two sons are each remarkable in their own way, how lucky you are!"

Amongst these flattering words, Harrison Grant’s expression finally eased a bit, with traces of a smile in his eyes.

Still, when he looked at James Grant, his expression remained lukewarm, "Next time before you come back, let the family know! Coming back like this, aren’t you going to inform the family?"

Harrison Grant seemingly took no offense, chuckling lightly, "If I’d said beforehand, there wouldn’t be any surprises, would there?"

As he spoke, his assistant behind him handed over a gift, "This is the birthday present I chose for you."

Seeing the gift, Harrison Grant’s expression softened even further.

"Hmm, it seems you are thoughtful." Harrison Grant’s lips curled slightly, appearing finally pleased, "I’ve heard you’ve been doing well outside lately, being the CEO of Harvestide Holdings, so you haven’t disgraced the Grant family!"

James Grant smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, Harrison Grant’s heart genuinely swelled with pride.

He instinctively glanced towards Summer Monroe, feeling even more pleased.

So what if Summer is that person’s daughter?

That person is always cautious and doesn’t manage Summer much, which is why he indulged James Grant in undermining Summer’s backing back then.

Harrison Grant simply wanted Summer to be more obedient, not constantly relying on her powerful background to boss everyone around!

"Since you’re back, stay at home today and let’s have a family meal tomorrow." Harrison Grant’s attitude finally softened completely.

In his view, James Grant leaving the Grant family before was merely a sort of tantrum.

There had to be an end to it.

However, what James Grant said next made those present not even dare to breathe.

He smiled faintly, raised his champagne glass, "No need for dinner, as I’ve got nothing to do with the Grant family anymore, right?"

A flash of shock crossed Harrison Grant’s eyes.

In his mind, his son coming back was to show weakness and admit fault.

How could James Grant—

"What do you mean?" Harrison Grant’s face turned cold, more frightening than before, "What are you trying to say with this?"

James Grant grinned, his eyes indifferent, "Today’s visit is purely to give gifts; I have only one important matter to notify you all."

"What?" Harrison Grant’s eyes gradually turned red, staring at James Grant intensely.

Meanwhile, Shirley Owens was filled with panic and confusion, yet her eyes could not hide a secret excitement.

James Grant saw this clearly but paid no attention to Shirley Owens.

"I’m here to notify father that I’m canceling my engagement with Lynn Yates."

This statement was earth-shattering.

A storm was brewing in Harrison Grant’s eyes, his anger turning into laughter, "What did you say?!"

His roar drew the guests’ attention.

Standing furthest away, Evelyn Clayton also couldn’t help but look over—

"The drama begins." Nearby, Lynn Yates suddenly chuckled softly, "James Grant is about to go crazy."

Evelyn Clayton also felt something was amiss, "What?"

However, Lynn Yates only gave a mysterious smile, "You’ll know soon enough."
