Chapter 18 Everyone's faces changed , and they looked at Zayn in unison . Zayn's eyes were full of hostility . He was calm and relaxed . Sparks flew when they looked at each other . The old man looked him up and down critically . " You are good - looking . You're tall and well - proportioned . Come with me . From now on , you will be the heir of my Graham Group . You can have whatever you want . " Zayn sneered and turned to leave . Suddenly , he stopped and glanced at Nathan coldly . " Do you know the Yale family and the Smith family ? " Nathan said coldly , " The Smith family and the Yale family ? Which are you referring to ? " Zayn said , " The biggest one . " Nathan's eyes gleamed . Nathan's bodyguard beside him tentatively said , " Mr. Zayn Graham should be referring to the Smith family , which Antonio belongs to , and the Yale family , which has a marriage arrangement with him . " Nathan raised his eyebrows and nodded . " How could I not know them ? We are friends . Why do you ask this ? " They were the top three families of Hestrya . Zayn thought for a while , then said to Nathan , " If I go back with you , will it be possible for me to meet the children of the Smith family and the Yale family ? " Nathan was confused . " That's for sure . I will host a banquet for you in person , and then you can meet all the children in our circle . You will be the Graham family's only grandson . " Zayn's eyes darkened . " You said I could have everything I want . " Nathan was impatient . " Well , I'll buy you the stars , the island , and all the boats . Can we go now ? " Zayn raised his head proudly . " I just want the daughter of the Smith family . " Nathan was speechless , thinking , " He wants a person ? " He finally began to look at Zayn seriously , thinking, " This grandson of mine is quite interesting . He's completely different from that unsavory son of mine . This grandson resembles me . " He raised his eyebrows with great interest . " If the Smith family is interested , there's certainly no problem with that . You can raise or marry anyone you want . " Zayn said without hesitation , " Get in the car . Nathan's mouth twitched , and he exchanged glances with his bodyguard , looking at Zayn's aloof figure from behind . Nathan thought , " But the Smith family doesn't have a daughter . They only have three male descendants , don't they ? " Laura sat in the car and looked at the scenery blankly . 1/2 Chapter 18 Antonio sat opposite her and looked at her . " Don't you have anything to ask me ? " He thought , " Doesn't she want to say anything when I adopted her after much hesitation and repeatedly reconsidering my decision ? " Laura came back to her senses and shook her head . " No. " She thought , " Mom said not to ask questions I shouldn't . " She was not interested in it either . Antonio frowned . " I brought you back not because you are my daughter but because I know your uncle , your mom's brother ." Jasper chimed in , " Your mom has four brothers and one sister . Your mom's sister is my mom . I don't know if you know that ." Laura thought for a while and remembered the name her mother would say every time she got drunk . Laura thought , " Winnie . " She pursed her lips . " I know . " Jasper said sarcastically , " I guess your mom must've frequently scolded my mom ." Laura was stunned and shook her head . " Mom scolded her sometimes , but she just cries most of the time . " Antonio's eyes turned cold . " Cry ? " Laura said in a soft voice , " She calls out the name ' Winnie ' when she cries . " There was an instant silence in the car . Laura felt cold and shrank her neck . " Did I say something wrong ? " The eldest son of the Smith family , Xander Smith , broke the silence and said , " Anyway , your mom's relationship with your aunt is not very good . You should also know that your mom attempted to kill your aunt but failed , so you can't appear in front of your aunt because you are your mom's daughter , and that itself is a mistake . Do you understand ? " The second son of the Smith family , Everett Smith , snorted and said , " In other words , if you dare to appear in front of our mother , we will directly abandon you . " 2/2
