Chapter 470 William saw his daughterâs broken face, her cheeks wet with tears, pale to an extreme. His previous determination instantly crumbled.
âJade, donât be sad. Thorne didnât go far. He just went next door as a guest.â
Theaâs loud wailing turned into soft sobbing, âReally?â
William reluctantly nodded, âItâs true. Jewel came to pick him up.â
Thea collected her sorrow and breathed a sigh of relief.
âI went to pick him up and bring him back.â
She stood up unsteadily.
William was afraid that Thorne would secretly report to Thea, exposing all of his bad behavior. He quickly tried to stop her, saying, âJade, take a break. Let me go and invite him back home.â
Ava smirked and muttered under her breath, âUncle, you tried to steal the chicken but ended up losing the rice.â
The Fletcher Manor.
When William appeared at Kylerâs fatherâs doorstep, holding an umbrella, Kylerâs father was very shocked.
âWhat are you here for?â Kylerâs father had a displeased 5000 1288 Vouchers Chapter 470 expression.
William closed the umbrella and then, just like when he was a child, walked into the yard naturally.
Looking around, the familiar and simple rosewood furniture remained unchanged. The scene of playing and laughing with my grandparents when I was a child was vividly remembered.
William was overwhelmed with emotions and said, âIf our grandparents were still here, they would be heartbroken to see you and me falling apart over fighting for the Fletcher familyâs cake.â
Kylerâs father exclaimed excitedly, âYou are the beneficiary, how dare you criticize our mistakes? Your grandfather favored your father back then because he was smart and had excellent academic performance, which brought him a lot of prestige. As for me, I was not as intelligent and struggled with studying. Your grandfather looked down on me and secretly transferred the company to your father.â
He became more and more excited, âThey are all his sons, why did he have to neglect one for the other?â
William sneered at him, âYou disregard the right choices? Then why did you hand over the company to Kylerâs illegitimate son Raymond, instead of your own legitimate granddaughter Jewel?â
Kylerâs father was left speechless by the retort.
William continued, âGrandfather entrusted the company to my father, but he transferred other immovable assets to you. He ensured that you would have a worryâfree life and guaranteed the smooth development of the company and its 1375 Chapter 409 employees. This was the wisest decision made by him.â
Kylerâs father had a gloomy expression.
1258 Vouchers William said, âEven I, as a younger generation, can see the sincerity of Grandfather. As his son, canât you see it? Canât you feel whether Grandfather loves you or not?â
Kylerâs fatherâs eyes turned red as he spoke a few words.
âWhat did you come here for?â he asked.
William said, âI came to pick up Thorne.â
Kylerâs fatherâs teacup slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor.
âWho?â
William furrowed his brow and said, âYou didnât know? Jewel brought Thorne back home?â
Kylerâs fatherâs gloomy face suddenly lit up. Then he proudly turned to William and said, âThorne is my esteemed guest, he came to visit, and you come and snatch the guest, isnât that too unkind?â
William was a bit confused. âA distinguished guest? Do you know about his background and experiences?â
Just tell him directly that Thorne was a criminal.
Treating such a person as an honored guest, William couldnât comprehend the actions of Kylerâs father.
Kylerâs father said, âOf course, I knew. After all, he was the suitor for our Jewel.ââ
34321 D C Chapter 470 288 Vouchers William was dumbfounded, âYou married Jewel to this kind of person? You...â
He pointed at Kylerâs fatherâs nose and cursed him, betraying his granddaughterâs happiness for his own benefit. He is not worthy of being someoneâs grandfather.
Kylerâs father, on the other hand, was quite stubborn, âWilliam, Thorne is my sonâinâlaw, and he can stay here for as long as he wants. You donât have the right to take him away.ââ
William instantly felt frustrated.
Thinking of Theaâs tearâstreaked broken face, he lost his dignity and pleaded with Kylerâs father, âI want to see him.â
Kylerâs father, however, guarded him closely and said, âHe has no interest in seeing you.â
William raised his voice and shouted, âThorne, come out.â
Kylerâs father was dumbfounded, âSuch a disgraceful and embarrassing behavior, and it was exhibited by his usually elegant nephew?â
Upstairs.
Thorne sat in a wheelchair, gently caressing the fox fur- trimmed cashmere cloak on his legs. His gaze was tender. Jewel sat across from him, gazing at him affectionately.
âMy parents both liked you very much, and they hoped that we could get married soon.â
Thorne said lightly, âI wouldnât marry you.â
50 234 Chapter 470 Jewelâs face paled, âWhy?â
She stood up and almost devoutly knelt in front of him, with both hands resting on his knees.
Thorne, however, pushed his wheelchair backwards and said, âDid you dirty my cloak?â
Jewelâs gaze had just fallen on the cloak when she immediately went crazy, grabbing the cloak and throwing it on the ground.
âThis cloak is not goodâlooking at all, Iâll get you a new one.â
She turned around and ran to her room, searching for a new cloak.
She did not see Thorneâs bloodshot eyes and clenched fists. The veins on his temples bulged with anger.
He bent down with great effort and carefully picked up the cloak. He meticulously brushed off the invisible dust on it.
When Jewel returned, she saw him holding a cloak as if it were a precious treasure. And his gaze, staring at her, seemed as if he wanted to devour her.
Jewel was startled.
Thorne said gloomily, âPlease donât touch my things in the future.â
Jewelâs face turned pale, âWhat do you mean? Are you disgusted with me?â
Thorne was about to answer when he suddenly heard a frantic sound coming from the staircase.
1383 Vouchers Chapter 470 âThorne.â
Thorne went out in his wheelchair.
Jewel followed closely behind. She wanted to help him push the wheelchair, but his cold and distant aura made her hesitant to approach.
On the stairs, William was stopped by several servants.
But he struggled desperately, shouting loudly, âThorne, I was wrong. Come back with me.â
William trampled all the dignity of men under his feet for the sake of his daughter.
âLet him go,â Thorne spoke up to stop those few servants.
Then he pushed the wheelchair forward.
William saw Thorne. He laughed heartily, just like an old child.
âThorne, can you come back with me?â
William was very proud when he drove Thorne away, but now he is very humble.
Jewel stood up in front of Thorne and replied for him, âWhat do you take Thorne for? A clown who comes and goes at your beck and call? It was you who just kicked Thorne out of the door. Thorne has his dignity, he wonât go to a place where he is not welcome.â
Williamâs face turned red. âThorne, I was wrong. Come back with me. You donât know, Jade almost fainted when she heard that you had left, she cried so much.ââ
298 Vouchers Thorneâs handsome face changed in an instant, and his voice could not hide his panic, âOkay, I will go back with you.â
