Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 684: George’s Control Freak Mother 

Helen’s POV:

"Did his parents reprimand him?" I asked, buzzing with curiosity.

George had never mentioned his parents to me.

When Zhester Technology was in a crisis.He just dealt with everything by himself.

When he got home, he only told me that the problem had been resolved and asked me to rest assured.

Velma snorted scornfully.Her attitude towards George was full of contempt.

"He deserves it! He always assumes an air of superiority, even to his parents.Why does he have to be so condescending? It was his mother who saved his hide when he was taken away by the police last time.She had to call in her contacts to help him out.But instead of feeling grateful, he accused his parents of interfering in his career and said that he could resolve it by himself.How could he say something like that to his parents? Even Kendal, who is generally so rude, is more grateful than him."I couldn‘t help but secretly snigger after hearing what Velma said.

For some reason, she was biased against George.What she described was probably far from the truth.I knew George better than most people.

Yes, he was proud but he was never an ungrateful man.

Velma leaned over and asked mysteriously, "Do you know why I want to go to Zhester Technology now?"

"Pray, tell."

"George‘s mother, Erin, asked me to find out if that woman named Jane is still working at Zhester Technology.In fact, Erin knew Jane since the New Year.The minute she found out about Jane, she was against the idea.Being afraid that George would bring such a dubious woman to their home, she arranged a blind date for him.Since then, the relationship between the two of them has been strained."

I couldn‘t believe my ears.I remembered that George did go back to Washington to spend the New Year Holidays with his family and he stayed there for a long time.

Not only did he spend his time with his family, but he also attended various meetings with Jane and even went on a blind date! Velma said sternly, "Although you fell out with Jane for the sake of your own interests this time, you indirectly helped George‘s parents get rid of her.She was a royal pain in the neck to them.You‘ve unknowingly made a great contribution.I’ll ask Kendal to buy you a better car one of these days.This one is just way too cheap and embarrassing."

She eyed my car with disgust.

Velma was a lively and bubbly girl.She always spoke out whatever was on her mind.Soon, she changed the topic to cars.

I intentionally didn‘t clarify my relationship with Kendal.

On the one hand, it was too much of a bother to explain.

After all, Kendal had helped me simply for George‘s sake and I didn‘t want to make my relationship with George public yet.

On the other hand, I didn‘t think I owed Velma an explanation.

After all, we were not that close.

When we reached Zhester Technology, I was about to park the car on the side of the road.

Just then, Velma changed her mind.

"On second thought, I don‘t want to go to Zhester Technology now.I won‘t help Erin spy on George.Although he looks gentle on the surface, in reality he is very shrewd.If he sees me, he will immediately guess that Erin sent me to keep tabs on him.I would rather offend Erin than George! If you are going to Fantail Entertainment, I‘ll go with you.Sanford will be there today!"

She was such a pampered princess who always did whatever popped into her mind.

Now she mistook me for her driver.I asked in surprise, "How do you know that Sanford will be in the company today?"

Raising her chin unashamedly, Velma explained, "His assistant is my spy.I know his schedules only too well."

"Are you a groupie?"

"Do I need to chase a celebrity? I‘m chasing after my future husband! Just watch me! I‘ll get him!"

Velma didn‘t hide her feelings for Sanford at all.Her candor somehow impressed me.

When my professional ethics kicked in, I reminded her in a soft voice, "Miss Collins, please bear one thing in mind.The news that Spacetime Finance is going to acquire Fantail Entertainment hasn‘t been announced yet.I hope you don‘t mention it in front of Sanford by accident."

"Okay, I won‘t," Velma said nonchalantly.

I had no idea whether she had taken it seriously or not.I decided not to say anything anymore.

Anyway, I had given her a reminder and that would suffice.It was not possible for me to follow her and watch her all day long.

After a while, I snuck in what I wanted to know, "So, George‘s mother...Is she the unapproachable type?"

Velma became excited.

"Yes! Truth be told, none of the Affleck family members are easy to get along with.They are all cunning people.When I was little, I thought George was handsome and I had a crush on him.I walked around with stars in my eyes thinking that one day I would be his bride.Thank God I got over him and didn‘t marry into that horrible family!"

"What do you mean?"

"The Affleck family had way too many rules and social conventions to adhere to.I had to be prim and proper at all times.They thought I was too vulgar and coarse.I couldn‘t enjoy a meal without them commenting on my table manners.After a few visits there.I lost my patience with them.No matter how handsome I thought George was, I was not prepared to live such a suffocating life.Later I realized that Erin was making things difficult for me on purpose.She knew that I was fond of her son, so she deliberately made those rules to drive me away.Just think about it.I was just a young girl at that time, and she didn‘t cut me some slack.Can you imagine how strong her desire for control is?"

As Velma spoke, she shook her head vigorously with relief.

In the end, with a sinister look on her face, Velma added, "Believe it or not, as long as George‘s grandfather and parents are still alive, he is doomed to be single."

I drove the car into the garage and thought that Velma was wrong this time.

George was already married.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

To me! Velma got out of the car and looked at my car deprecatingly, "What kind of crap is this? It‘s so ugly and uncomfortable."

I smiled lightly and had the sense to keep quiet.

As soon as we arrived in my so–called junk car at Fantail Entertainment, Velma went straight to look for Sanford.

The employees of the company were accustomed to it.I went directly to the exclusive office of the legal department to work.

When I arrived at the office door, I saw Sanford walking toward me and squeezing himself into the office.

"Shh!" He gestured for me to keep silent and close the door quickly.

This was the first time that I had seen Sanford at close distance.

He was very handsome.

The simple T–shirt and jeans he wore made him look fashionable and refreshing.

His skin was flawless and surprisingly good for a man.He had a well– chiseled, delicate face.

No wonder so many girls were chasing after him.

Tina and Melissa were also in the office of the legal department.

It was probably also the first time that they saw Sanford in person.

They were so brazen that they picked up their phones to take photos of him.I frowned and stopped them with my sharp eyes, before pulling a chair for Sanford.

"Please take a seat," I said.

"Thank you," said Sanford politely, but he didn‘t sit down.

Instead, to our amusement, he stood at the door and anxiously peeped out through a crack.
