Harryâs face was pale, âItâs because of your stupidity! How could you blame me? Now that things have turned for the worse, itâs lucky that the reputation of the Granger family had not been damaged. Otherwise, we canât even protect Vincent anymore.â
âHa⦠So what youâre saying is that you want to get rid of me now? Itâs not that easy! If I canât live a good life, then you canât either! Iâll tell the Old Master the truth. Letâs see what youâll do then!â
Kaylene Yoder hurriedly pulled her back, âDonât be hasty! Even if you donât think for yourself, you should think about Vincent. As long as he is still in the Granger family, what are you afraid of?â
Hearing this, Tiffany Leon finally calmed down a little.
âBut, will the Old Master drive me out? What about Vincent?â
Harry Granger laughed, âWhat are you afraid of? Youâve seen how Bethany treats Vincent. As long as he is Hankâs son, then there will be many people who will care for him in this family. In the future, youâll still be his mother when he becomes the head of the family, so what could the rest do to you?â
Tiffany finally regained her confidence again, âThatâs true. No matter what happened Iâm still his mother.â
âIt would be fine as long as you understand this. Moreover, weâre just planning for the worst outcome. No one knows what will happen. Today is Vincentâs big day, so letâs not embarrass him.â
After the discussion, Harry instructed the staff, âKeep an eye on this place and donât let anyone in. If anyone finds out that something like this had happened at the Granger familyâs event, I wonât spare you.â
âBut the people insideâ¦.â
âWhy should you care about them? Theyâre not a member of our family. Just wait for them to leave by themselves.â
âAlright!â the staff nodded.
â¦
The event officially began and Old Master Granger introduced Vincent Granger to everyone. Looking at Vincent, Bethany Hamilton had probably thought of Hank Granger and she started weeping.
Everyone began to discuss Vincentâs return.
âHank used to be the head of the Granger family. After he left, the right was handed to Amos. Now that Hankâs child is back, who will become the head of the Granger family?
âIsnât that obvious? It has to be Amos. Canât you see how much the Granger family has developed in his hands?â
âBut Hank is the legitimate son of the Granger family. According to the rules, the eldest son and their offspring will be the legitimate heirs!â
Everyone in the Granger family all had different views about this. Meanwhile, Amosâ family of three found a quiet place to sit. Amos held Juju in his arms and held Eudoraâs hand with his other hand.
âAre you really okay?â
âWhat could ever happen to me? Fortunately, I was on guard and came out when they werenât paying attention. But, Christopherâ¦â
âDonât worry. They are married couples. It will be fine.â
âMarried coupleâ¦â Eudora repeated and smiled. âSo itâs Tina!â
âWho else could it be?â Amos smiled and looked at her. âBack when I was in danger, didnât you come to save me too?â
Eudora was embarrassed.
Why did he have to mention that again?
Fortunately, it all went smoothly this time.
As she was deep in thought, two figures came out of the lounge. Eudora stole a glance and found that it was indeed Christopher and Tina. Both of them looked pale and they did not seem to be in the mood to talk. Soon, they quickly left.
Eudora knew that they must be in a mess at this moment, so she did not disturb them.
Not long after they left, the event ended as well.
Old Master Granger was the first to leave. Before he left, he said, âAll of you come to the main building and give me an explanation!â
â¦
In the Granger familyâs mansion.
It was already ten in the evening but it was still brightly lit.
In the main hall, the Old Master was sitting at the main seat solemnly with Bethany sitting next to him. The rest of the people were sitting around him but none of them spoke.
Perhaps it was because of the awkward atmosphere, the servants immediately left after serving the tea.
âWhat the h*ll is going on? Harry, answer me!â
Old Master Granger spoke sternly.
âBrother!â Harry stood up. âActuallyâ¦â he explained calmly, âActually, it was a misunderstanding. Eudora took the child to the bathroom and never returned. Then, there was a female guest who wore a dress that was similar to Eudoraâs, so there was a mistake!â
âMistake?â Old Master Granger frowned, âDid you really investigate this thoroughly?â
Harry felt a chill in his heart, âBrother, Iâ¦â
âUncle, it seems like your performance back there wasnât that good!â Amos slowly interrupted Harry. âSuch a terrible thing had happened, yet you claim it to be a misunderstanding. What about the security cameras? Have you asked all the other staff? Or are you trying to protect someone?â
Harryâs face changed dramatically. He knew that it was impossible to escape from this.
With a thud, he immediately knelt in front of Old Master Granger.
âBrother, it was my fault for not handling this properly. Iâm not covering up for anyone. I just didnât want to embarrass the familyâ¦â he spoke as he stole a glance at Tiffany.
Tiffanyâs heart still sank even though she was already prepared for this moment.
In the end, the worst still had to come.
Bethany immediately understood and she too looked solemn. She then reached out her hand to wave at Vincent, âCome to Grandma?â
Vincentâs face was expressionless. He looked around before slowly walking over to Bethany.
Bethany hugged Vincent and she heard Harry say, âTiffany, arenât you going to tell us the truth?â
Tiffany immediately stood up, âI did it, so what? Eudora also framed me last time. I made a cake for her out of kindness and she tried to frame me for poisoning. I may not mind it but I am a mother. I have to protect my child.â
After a pause, she looked at the Old Master, âI made a mistake back there. I hope the Old Master will spare me this time!â
Harry had been constantly paying attention to the Old Masterâs expression. He realized that the Old Master was not surprised at all as though he had already known about it. Harry was immediately relieved that he had chosen to tell the truth.
At this moment, Amos spoke.
âSpeaking of this, has the servant been discharged?â
The butler next to him quickly answered, âYes, she has been discharged from the hospital!â
Amos nodded, âThen, ask her to come here!â
Harry said hurriedly, âDonât we already know what had happened? Why do you still need to ask for her?â
âDidnât someone say that she was framed? The servant is the real victim here, so shouldnât she come forward and speak about this matter?â
Harry frowned and felt that everything that had happened today was not as simple as it seemed. He gradually felt uneasy and he exchanged a meaningful look with Kaylene.
Kaylene said to Old Master Granger hurriedly, âBrother, itâs late. The children still have to go to school tomorrow. We should not make things difficult for them, right?â
Old Master Granger glanced at the two children and turned to Bethany to say, âTake Vincent back.â
Then, he turned to look at Juju and began, âEudora, youâ¦â
The next second, Juju said firmly, âI want to be here,â
