Chapter 61 Going Against the Heavens
Hellen and Granny Grant stayed for a while and felt warm in their hearts.
Although Hellen had lost two years of memories, the sense of intimacy in her heart made her certain that Granny Grant must have been very good to her in the past.
They often talked about household trifles while chatting.
At half past ten in the morning, footsteps came from the spiral staircase.
Hellen was sitting on the sofa, facing the spiral ladder. She opened her eyes and saw Mrs. Grant coming down.
“Hellen Jovano? Why are you here?” Mrs. Grant’s voice was full of annoyance.
Since the opponent wasn’t being polite, Hellen didn’t respond either.
Lady Grant didn’t get a response and immediately glared at her. “You still look disgusting. Fortunately, Hans is already…”
Granny Grant glared coldly at her. “She is my guest. Do you have a problem with that?”
Granny Grant was still in charge of the Grant family. Mrs. Grant shut her mouth, glanced angrily at Hellen, and turned to go to the dining room.
“That’s her temper. Hellen, don’t care about it.”
Hellen laughed. “I won’t care about it.”
She had no relationship with the Grant family now, and the only person she cared for was Granny Grant.
Mrs. Grant was not worth her anger.
“Hellen is the magnanimous one.” Granny Grant chuckled as she patted Hellen’s hand. “Since you’ve come here today, you’ll have to spend an entire day with me.”
Hellen had no objections. Lady Grant, on the other hand, finished her breakfast and left after glaring at Hellen.
On the second floor of the Grant family.
Mrs. Grant sat in the bedroom, holding back her anger.
Was her mother-in-law blind? Why did she invite that unlucky Hellen to her home?

At noon, Granny Grant and Hellen had lunch together, but Mrs. Grant did not go downstairs.
After lunch and chatting for a while, the Grant family’s housekeeper came over.
“Pardon, it’s time for you to take a nap.”
Granny Grant glanced at the butler and then at Hellen, unable to bear to part with her. “I’m not taking my afternoon nap today.”
Hellen couldn’t help but laugh. “Grandma, go take a nap. After taking a nap, you’ll feel better, and then we can chat for an entire day.”
The Madam was like a child, seeming as if she was deeply afraid that Hellen would leave while she was asleep.
“Then I’ll go sleep for an hour. Hellen, relax at home and let the housekeeper accompany you. You can go anywhere you want.”
“Okay, Granny.”
Seeing the maid supporting Granny Grant away, Hellen sat in the living room and looked at the housekeeper.
The butler said respectfully, “Mrs.- Miss Jovano, call me if you need anything.”
In her heart, Hellen was still rather curious about the past two years. She laughed calmly. “Butler, there are some things I want to talk about with you.”
The housekeeper looked at her with a complicated gaze. Hellen felt that he knew quite a bit.
She chatted with the housekeeper for a while. He answered whatever Hellen asked.
Those two years weren’t a secret at all. Not long afterward, Hellen heard from the housekeeper a completely different person.
A person who spoke in a low voice.
Hellen knew what was going on and was planning to let the housekeeper leave.
At the staircase, Mrs. Grant went downstairs again.
Hellen narrowed his eyes slightly. When Granny Grant was around, Mrs. Grant hadn’t even come down for lunch.
At this time, she must have calculated that Granny was not here before coming down.
He came with ill intentions.
After Mrs. Grant went downstairs, she crossed her arms and stood in front of Hellen.
“Since Old Madam is asleep, why are you still here shamelessly?”
Hellen’s body leaned backward slightly, and she sat even more stably.
“Can’t you hear me when I’m talking to you? Is this how your family teaches you?” Mrs. Grant put on an arrogant look. “Are you trying to use Old Madam to return to my son’s side? Let me tell you, you’d better not be delusional!”
The butler lowered his head respectfully and did not say a word.
Hellen frowned slightly and glanced at Lady Grant. “Let’s not talk about our family style, you’ve demonstrated them very clearly.”
Mrs. Grant had never thought that the weak one would retaliate now. She was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged.
“Butler, drive her out!”
The butler responded respectfully, “Madame, it was Old Madame who wanted Miss Jovano to stay and instructed me to keep accompanying her.”
Mrs. Grant’s eyes widened as if she was holding back a mouthful of anger.
She gritted her teeth, looking at Hellen’s mocking gaze.
“Alright! If you stay, then you stay! Hellen, come over and serve me my meal!”
Hellen narrowed his eyes slightly. “Your family likes being served by guests? How? Do you need me to feed you?”
Mrs. Grant’s eyes widened. She’d allowed her to stay, but she wasn’t grateful at all and was even mocking her?!
“That’s too much!”
Hellen laughed mockingly. “If Lady Grant has any illness, I don’t mind.”
Mrs. Grant was enraged. “Good, very good! Just you wait!”
Mrs. Grant’s furious expression caused her to be in an extremely good mood.
She sat in the living room and watched Mrs. Grant storm into the dining room. She took out her phone and started reading.
The living room was very quiet. After Mrs. Grant had suffered two losses, she did not come to make trouble again.
Hellen stretched lazily.
After reading the financial news for more than half an hour, there was a noise at the door.
Hellen raised his head and saw a tall and slender figure walking in. Hans had an extraordinary bearing, and his black suit made him look luxurious.
After entering the door, Hans saw Hellen. He paused and walked to the sofa by the side to sit down. “You’re here.”
Hellen held his phone. “Right.”
She looked up quietly at the side of Hans’s face. There were many things about him recorded on her old phone.
She knew that Hans had returned to the home not too often and that he was concerned about the Grant Group. He would stay at the company on weekends.
What a coincidence!
The living room had become quiet. Hellen had secretly convinced himself several times that the person beside her was merely air.
But Hans’s presence was too strong.
The atmosphere became a little weird.
Hans spoke first, “Thank you for coming to see Grandma.”
Hellen was somewhat surprised. “No need to thank me. I have nothing better to do during the weekend.”
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Hans frowned slightly and looked at Hellen. He racked his brains and said, “the Weststadt District called today and said that the ancestral temple contract had been settled.”
Speaking of official business, Hellen immediately put down his phone.
“What are the conditions?”
“According to your opinion before, those people chose the money.”
Hellen sneered. “I’ve investigated those people long ago. They all are rich. I haven’t seen them repair the ancestral hall even though it’s on the verge of collapse. It’s only now that they mention the geomancy of our ancestors. But when money is placed together with our ancestors, our ancestors are nothing.”
Hellen’s voice was faint and emotionless, but the sarcasm in her words was clear.
Behind the living room, at the stairs of the second floor, Granny Grant watched the two of them chat with a smile.
“Madam…” The maid beside her spoke.
Granny Grant immediately made a quiet gesture. She waved her hand and brought the maid back to the bedroom.
