Chapter 722 Grandpa

Along the way, everyone in the car remained silent. After Hester tried to talk to no avail, she fell asleep
deeply. Maybe she had been kidnapped once, so she was adept at it.

Hester was groggy along the way, and she didn't know how long it had passed. She felt that someone
pushed her arm and woke up slowly.

"Miss Hester, you are awake."

Standing in front of him was a man with grey hair and a black robe. He didn't fit in with the current
society, as if he had traveled through ancient times.

"Well, who are you?"

The man smiled gently, and the robe made him look more extraordinary. He opened the car and raised
his hand to protect her head from being hit.

"Miss Hester, please come in!"

Hester nodded, forcing a smile. She took a deep breath and got out of the car. Looking at the house in
front of her, she was silent.

She raised her hand and gently pinched her cheek. Only when she felt the pain did she realize that she
was not dreaming.

"Excuse me, why did you ask me to come here?"

The man nodded and stood aside with a smile. "Miss Hester, please!"

Facing such a polite kidnapper, Hester was relaxed. With a strange sense of intimacy, she slowly
walked into the house and saw ancient buildings.



After passing through the corridor, there was a small lake. In the center of the lake was a pavilion. It
seemed that there was a person, but it was too far away, so it was not very clear.

"The master has been waiting for Miss Hester for a long time. Please go there quickly!"

Hester clasped her hands and nodded slightly. With a trace of hesitation, she slowly walked over. As
they got closer and closer, the person in the pavilion became clearer and clearer.

Her heart beat faster and faster. Somehow, the man in front of her made her feel a faint sense of
intimacy.

"Here you are."

A calm voice sounded. The old man slowly opened his eyes. A ray of light appeared and soon
disappeared. Holding the inherited agates bead in his hand, he gently moved it, making a faint sound.

Under that man's gaze, Hester was gradually a little embarrassed. She clasped her hands behind her
back and frowned quietly.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The old man didn't seem to want to answer her question. He slowly sat up and moved the bead in his
hand. His deep eyes seemed to be looking through her at another person.

"Where is your mother now?"

Hester frowned and panicked. Since her mother's death, no one had ever asked about it. She clenched
her fists to control her emotions.

Was he her father's creditor? The moment this thought rushed into her mind, Hester was inexplicably
flustered. Judging from the imposing decoration of this yard, she was afraid that it was not easy to



offend him!

"Since you have taken me here, there is no need to ask about my mother's whereabouts!"

She was on the alert, but she was confused. She had been safe for so long. Why did a creditor
suddenly rush out?

When her mother was still alive, the creditor would often come to her house to ask for money, and all
valuable things would be taken away to pay the debt.

But this had never happened since she met Mrs. Qi. As time went by, she gradually forgot it. She didn't
want to recall the terrible past today.

"Little girl, where is your mother?"

Edmund opened his eyes and looked at Hester. He repeated this sentence again. Last night, he
suddenly dreamed of Rosemary, which made him very uneasy.

Only then did they find her daughter, Hester.

Hester frowned impatiently and was not in the mood to pay attention to him at all. She took out her
wallet from her handbag and continued to put her only money on the table.

"Here are all my savings. You take it first. If it's not enough, I'll think of a way."

It was the first time that Edmund had been sent away with money, and he didn't enjoy it. The agates on
his fingertips rotated, as if he was gradually simmering with anger.

In this world, no one dared to insult him with money. His granddaughter was really bold!

"My patience is limited. Tell me where your mother is!"



"Are you done? Since my father is in debt, I will pay the same as my mother. Why do you always hold
on to my mother?"

Irritated by the old man's attitude, Hester was a little impatient. She said this anxiously, unable to hide
her restless emotions.

Her mother was gone. She didn't want her to be disturbed and to pursue her debt.

"Miss Hester, you can't talk to the master like that!"

Coincidentally, the old butler came in with a cup of tea. Hearing Hester's hoarse words, he frowned and
gently stopped her. Although she hadn't seen her grandfather since she was a child, she should be
polite!

"Can't talk to him like that?"

Hester sneered and looked up at the old man in a long robe. She thought it was extremely ridiculous.
As a creditor, what kind of face should she give him?

Besides, he was so persistent in asking his mother. How could she respect him?

"Don't you think it's not a big deal that you don't let go of other people's mother like this? I've told you
that I'll pay for what my father has done. Don't disturb my mother!"

Seeing Hester so excited, Edmund was gratified. She looked exactly like Rosemary. There was a
strong heart hidden under her delicate appearance. It was rare not to be noticed.

"Hardy, I'm fine!"

With a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, Edmund's cold face softened, and there was a trace of
tenderness in his cold eyes. He raised his hand and patted the chair beside him, indicating her to sit



next to him.

"Come and sit here!"

Cautiously looking at the person in front of her, Hester was on high alert. She moved her feet slightly
and shrank back slightly. She couldn't let go of the vicious debt collectors.

Her nails were deeply embedded in her palms, and she temporarily maintained calm because of the
pain.

"I only have a little money with me now. If it's not enough, I'll think of another way. I have something to
deal with now. Can I leave now?"

On the other side, the old butler couldn't rest assured after he left the pavilion. Seeing Hester's
temperament was the same as Miss Rosemary's, if they quarreled, how could the master hold on?

Thinking of this, he hurried back to his room and dialed Leo's number.

"Hester, come and sit!"

With a cold face, Edmund felt his heart stung and unbearable when he heard that she was leaving.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood now. I just want to leave here!"

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
