Chapter 413: You Cause It

Hunter wasn’t that kind of witless person to be easily tracked.

Therefore, Emily didn’t feel surprised that Hunter got rid of their people.

However, he took Wendy away …

Emily and Milo immediately felt uneasy.

Wendy also disappeared. What exactly was she going to do? Where was grandpa now?

“Joseph, have you located the dock?”

What concerned Emily most was her grandfather’s safety.

If Wendy just wanted to defraud Sawyer of his money, Emily would let her go as long as her grandpa
was safe.

Emily hadn’t heard from her grandpa for so long. She couldn’t help but worry about the possibility of
him being murdered by Wendy already.

Her grandpa had a heart attack, so he wouldn’t stand it.

Joseph saw her through easily.

Rubbing her hair, he said softly, “She won’t.”

“Don’t be afraid. Wendy doesn’t dare to do anything to our grandfather. Grandfather is, after all, a big
shot in City L. If she hurts him, her life won’t be spared. In no way will she leave Bentson and City L
alive.”

Their grandpa should most probably be safe now.



After all, Wendy’s roots were here. She wouldn’t uproot herself and head for somewhere else with a
false identity.

Having picked up his phone, Joseph glanced at Emily and Milo.

“Milo, Emily doesn’t feel well. Stay at home with her. I’ll go out and continue looking for grandfather.”

“No, I want to go with you.”

Emily tugged at his sleeve. “Whether he is my biological grandfather or not, in my heart, he is my
grandfather!”

She wouldn’t let her grandfather suffer.

…

Sawyer was at the sea.

He didn’t even know where he was.

As soon as he boarded the ship, he felt a little dizzy. Thus, he went into the room to sleep, and he just
woke up.

Looking around, Sawyer was greeted by boundless blue water.

“Sasha, why did Wendy send us here?”

Although he liked to go to the sea for fun, he didn’t find it interesting without Milo and Emily around.

“I don’t know. Your granddaughter arranged it. I’m following her instruction.”

Seated opposite him, Sasha was having the hot drinks prepared by the chef.



It was very cold today. The sea breeze, which blew on her face, was chilly.

Therefore, both of them wore thick coats and were covered by blankets.

It was unfit to sail in weather like this.

It was off-season on all the islands.

Why did Wendy send them to the island at this time? Was it fun?

“Are we going to continue like this?”

Sawyer had been sitting for half an hour, and he got impatient.

Looking at his phone, he found that there was still no signal. Thus, he couldn’t even contact Emily.

He missed Emily.

He left the house early in the morning, and he didn’t know how Emily was in his house.

Did she eat well or get used to living there? Did the servants serve her well?

He was worried about Emily, who completely occupied his mind.

Sawyer cared about no one but Emily.

“Does it have Internet on board?” He asked.

As he couldn’t contact Emily, he felt more eager to.

“No, it doesn’t work. I tried it just now, but I cannot get access to the Internet.”



Sawyer would never expect that his daughter, who had been with him for so many years, would lie to
him.

The ship was moving faster and faster. Sawyer had no idea where he was.

Another half an hour passed. Sawyer became even more anxious.

“Sasha, how about us going back?”

It was boring out here.

“The banquet will be held tomorrow. Things are yet to be settled. How can I leave at this time?”

“Dad, I don’t have the final say in this matter. Your precious granddaughter has.”

Sasha completely shirked her responsibility.

She spread out her hands and shrugged. “You know Wendy’s temperament. She’s overbearing.”

“She ...” Sawyer sighed.

Sasha tilted her head, staring at his face.

A thought flashed through her mind.

“Dad, I really want to ask you why you are so partial.”

“What?”

He thought that she was talking about Wendy, so he felt frustrated.

“Sasha, you’re an elder. Pass over Wendy’s rude behavior. Daddy also loves you, but Wendy lost her
mother and father since she was young. She has never been cared by anyone. I … just want to make



up for her lack of love for Harley.”

“Dad, I am not referring to Wendy.”

Wendy was Harley’s daughter. Sasha knew they bore no comparison with her.

Thus, it was better not to bother.

“Not Wendy? Then …” Sawyer frowned, a little puzzled. “Do you think that I treat you worse than
Lottie?”

He didn’t admit this, convincing that he had always been impartial.

Sasha’s face darkened slightly as she said indifferently, “Dad, you treat me very well, and I will never
compare myself to anyone else.”

“Then …”

“Francis is good, although Joseph is better. Have I been too strict with Francis in company?”

“Sasha, do you think that I’m biased towards Joseph and treat Francis like hell?”

Sawyer was shocked. How could she blame him for that?

Sasha hung her head, having her hot drink with silence.

Her son, Francis, also graduated from an elite school.

Yes, she admitted that her son was not as outstanding as Joseph, but Francis was a talent.

Even if he couldn’t be the president of the Gale Group like Joseph, he was quite qualified to be the vice
president.



At the very least, he could be a general manager. Then, he would be in charge of a few production and
sales lines, as well as some big projects.

But, he got nothing.

As the director of the Human Resources Department, Francis didn’t have any real power in the
company.

Thus, he didn’t even want to go to the company, keeping muddling along.

He must have suffered a heavy blow, which was why he became like this.

She didn’t believe that Francis was born to be a prodigal!

After a long time, Sasha said coldly, “If you haven’t deprived him of his power, how will he hate going to
work?”

“Didn’t Francis told you why he was appointed as the director of the Human Resources Department?”

Sawyer stared at his daughter.

Sawyer didn’t expect that after spending so many years together, his daughter had been nursing so
many grievances against him.

“Sasha, you should ask him about this, not me.”

“Even if Francis does something wrong, you can discipline him. Why did you deprive him of his power?”

Sasha gave full vent to her grievances, which had been nursed over the years, in a violent outburst on
hearing Sawyer’s words.

She firmly believed that Sawyer’s bias against his son discouraged Francis!



She stood up abruptly, and the blanket fell down from her.

Staring at Sawyer, she blushed with anger.

“Dad, Francis is excellent in character and learning. If you haven’t deprived him of his power, with his
ability, he would make an achievement!”

“Because of you, he loses confidence in himself, and hates working at the Gale Group. Thus, he keeps
muddling along!”

Sasha became more and more emotional as she spoke in a choked voice.

“Dad! Francis becomes like this because of you,!”

She stood up abruptly, and the blanket fell down from her.
Staring at Sawyer, she blushed with anger.

“Dad, Francis is excellent in character and learning. If you haven't deprived him of his power, with his
ability, he would make an achievement!”

“Because of you, he loses confidence in himself, and hates working at the Gale Group. Thus, he keeps
muddling along!”

Sasha became more and more emotional as she spoke in a choked voice.

“Dad! Francis becomes like this because of you,!”
