“Tell me, what plans do the two of you have for starting a business?” Charlie asked as he took a sip of coffee.

Since this was the excuse they had come up with, Leo and Isabella cooperatively replied to Charlie.

“Grandpa, I’ve been investigating the market and found that the Internet business has been on the rise in recent years. Ben’s Storm Group also thrives because of this field. So, I also plan to invest in related industries,” Leo said confidently, “I plan to start a business in the network security field!”

“I have a different idea from him. I want to invest in the entertainment industry,” Isabella said with a smile.

She knew that in the next few years, the entertainment industry would flourish dramatically.

Those who invested in the entertainment industry in time would make a fortune.

With Isabella’s memory of her last incarnation, she knew which star or drama would be popular.

As long as she could invest in the drama or star that would become popular in advance, she didn’t have to worry about how to make money.

Of course, Isabella didn’t need to reveal this to others or go into detail.

Hearing Isabella plan to start a business in the entertainment industry, Ben couldn’t help but glance at her.

He had also planned to invest more in the entertainment industry.

“Did Isabella choose this industry at random, or has she seen the advantages of it?”

Ben thought as he narrowed his eyes without saying a word.

“Your ideas are not bad.” Charlie cleared his throat and continued, “The development of the business in the network security field mainly depends on talents. Leo, you should…”

Charlie offered a ton of suggestions in high spirits. Leo nodded repeatedly and occasionally complimented Charlie, making Charlie grin from ear to ear.

“As for the entertainment industry, one should have good taste if one wants to do well in this industry, I think…” Charlie began to give Isabella advice.

“Please wait, Old Mr. Landor. I need to take some notes.” Isabella quickly took out a notebook and acted as if she needed to write down everything.

Seeing this, Charlie couldn’t help but erase his bad impression of Isabella.

He felt that though this young girl had said something unlucky to him, she was modest and polite somehow.

Ben and Susan were enjoying coffee while listening to Leo and Isabella flatter Charlie.

Susan and Ben both felt amused and glad when they saw Charlie’s happy look.

As the conversation paused, Penelope came over with some herbal tea.

“Dad, you must have a dry throat after talking so much. Please have some herbal tea,” Penelope said as she served everyone with the tea, which was made of precious herbs.

Leo and Isabella looked at the tea, gave a knowing look to each other, and then quickly looked away.

“Thanks, my throat is indeed a little dry.” Charlie picked up a cup of tea and drank it up in a few gulps.

“Dad, do you want some more?” Penelope asked, her eyes glistening with excitement.

“No. I…” Charlie was about to say something when he suddenly furrowed his brows.

Leo and Isabella seemed to be taking small sips of tea, but in truth, all their attention was

on Charlie’s reaction.

Both of them were wary at the sight of Charlie’s frown and wondered if it was going to flare up.

stand un narouely and was ready to rush over at any

time.

Just as Leo looked extremely anxious, Charlie slowly burped.

“I’m just burping. Don’t act like I’m about to die,” Charlie said with a hint of displeasure.

“I… I didn’t mean that. I was just worried about you.” Leo sat back down awkwardly.

Ben involuntarily glanced at Leo.

“What Leo did is a little too much.

I don’t think he did this only out of concern.”

Ben was wondering when Charlie suddenly turned ashen. He covered his chest in pain and let out a muffled groan.

“Grandpa!” Leo rushed over at once.

Isabella exclaimed, “Get out of the way! This is a myocardial infarction. I know CPR. Let me

take care of it!”

Charlie already couldn’t speak. He seemed to be in anguish, his fingers trembling.

Ben and Susan both felt their hearts skip a beat when they heard Isabella mention myocardial infarction.

By the time Isabella rushed over, Charlie had already fainted.

Isabella immediately began to perform CPR on Charlie.

Ben had wanted to stop her at first, but he thought he might as well let her continue when he saw Charlie’s face becoming more and more ruddy.

After a while, the private physician who often treated the Landor family arrived first.

The physician urgently checked on Charlie’s condition and said with a very serious look, “It’s indeed a heart attack! But thanks to this girl’s timely first aid, his condition has improved!”

Isabella was ecstatic in her haart vat eha pretended to ha calm on the curface Tet’s ston

talking about this. We should send Old Mr. Landor to the hospital as soon as possible.”

Just then, the air ambulance that Ben had called arrived.

Under the guidance of the physician, the group of people carried Charlie into the air

ambulance.

Not long after, Charlie was sent into the operating room.

Outside the operating room, Ben looked at the tightly closed door, pacing back and forth restlessly.

Susan didn’t say anything but just silently held Ben’s hand tightly.

She had heard Ben talk about his childhood.

He had long since been abandoned by his biological mother while his father married his stepmother early. For a long time, he couldn’t feel any affection for him from his parents.

Later, one day, his biological mother suddenly came back.

She told Ben that she had had no choice but to leave back then and how much she missed

Ben.

Ben believed her.

His mother considerately cared about him since she returned, so Ben gradually acknowledged his mother.

Just as he put down his guard, however, his mother suddenly set the house on fire.

She said to Ben with a fierce smile that she hated both Ben’s father and Ben! She knew she

couldn’t do anything to Ben’s father, so she decided to destroy Ben instead:

This crazy woman fled after setting the fire, but Ben was trapped in the fire and had a narrow escape from death.

Ben thought he would live like this for the rest of his life.

At that juncture, Charlie appeared.

Charlie had originally said that he was not used to life in the city, so he had been enjoying a leisurely life in the countryside.

However, when he heard that Ben had been caught in a fire, he snapped.

He went straight to Ben’s father, scolded him, and then forced him to take Ben back.

Ever since Ben was a child, Charlie had been the only warmth in his life.

Charlie would do his best to protect him while others only ignored him or treated him with scolding and beatings.

When his father died prematurely, Leo was still a kid while Ben was already 18 years old. Penelope wanted to take over the charge of the Storm Group herself.

But Charlie went against all objections and let Ben become the president of the company.

Though Ben would eventually succeed even without inheriting his father’s company, but Ben couldn’t reject Charlie’s earnest kindness.

Before Susan appeared, Charlie was the only light in Ben’s dark world.

But now, Charlie was lying in the operating room in a critical condition.

How could Ben remain calm?

Susan was well aware that any words of comfort would only be of no use at such a juncture.

Therefore, she just held Ben’s hand tightly to give him warmth and power.
