At the mention of Kennedy, Jorge became furious and said in an indignant voice, -Damn you! Kennedy has spent too much with you, he has even hurt you so much. My child, don’t worry, I will defend you anyway. If it was really him who hurt you so much, he must take responsibility!
Hearing Jorge’s words, Zoe raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, and pleaded, “Grandfather, may I stay here for a few more days? I’m afraid my brother and grandfather will find out…-She left a suspense in a witty way.
Jorge hastened to answer, -Take it easy, don’t worry about anything. My grandson is the guilty one, then I’ll take responsibility. Be that as it may, I will never leave you alone to face all that. Besides, you are my grandson’s future wife, so I will take care of communicating with your grandfather and your brother.
-Thank you very much, grandfather,” said Zoe and showed an expression of an innocent, but her eyes could not hide her nature of a fox.
“Grandpa surely still doesn’t know that I drugged Kennedy. Even if he does know, he won’t admit it in any way, since that cup of tea was given to him by the maid in his own house, with whom I have connived and bribed her with a huge sum of money not to say anything until death. As for Kennedy, since all this has already happened, he won’t bring that to the table. So, I just need to wait for the Moore family to take responsibility” she thought.
It was just at that moment when there was a knock at the door.
-Who is it?” Jorge was in a bad mood, so his tone was unkind with impatience. Dylan stood in the doorway and replied respectfully to Jorge, “Sir, Master Kennedy is back.
Hearing this, Zoe’s eyes lit up with joy. At last, he was back. But very soon Zoe’s expression changed to seriousness as she had remembered what happened last night, when she had given Kennedy a potent dose, so that he could take advantage of the only opportunity to have a relationship with Kennedy.
However, she had not expected Kennedy to push her so hard that she hit her head until she could see stars. When she regained consciousness and wanted to look for him, he had disappeared.
Kennedy had disappeared all night, and returned until this moment.
“Who would be the beneficiary who had spent a precious night with my Kennedy?” thought Zoe thus as she clenched her fist angrily. Truly she had never imagined that she had done the others a great favor. But that didn’t matter so much anymore.
When George heard that Kennedy had returned, he jumped up and exclaimed angrily, “He still has the nerve to come back! I’ll go now and see what he wants.
-Grandfather,” called Zoe in a very tender voice, begging him to forgive Kennedy, “Don’t punish Kennedy, it’s just that you can’t blame him entirely.
-If we don’t blame him, who else? Stay here and rest well, I’ll take care of teaching him to behave well,” George replied angrily and left the room once these words were finished, and the doctor also told Zoe to rest well, and followed him out.
And Dylan, the butler who followed behind Jorge towards the stairs, while walking, heard Mr. Moore’s order, -Dylan, bring me the family cane.
Dylan hesitated and said, -Sir, Master Kennedy is a grown man, it is not appropriate to punish him with the cane, is it?
George was conservative and traditional, so his family continued to maintain order in the family with old-fashioned punishments. When Jorge heard what he said, he stopped and looked at Dylan in disgust saying, -What do you mean by that? Even though he is a mature man, he can’t escape punishment after hurting Zoe so much. This way, he will be able to remember the family rules well.
Hearing this, Dylan reached out his hand and touched his nose without realizing it, but then he couldn’t control himself to say something to defend Kennedy, -Although Master Kennedy hasn’t spent much time with us, you can tell that he doesn’t seem like an impulsive person. Besides, Miss Zoe is a girl, it is impossible that Kennedy mistreated her out of anger.
Dylan did not share Jorge’s idea, and he did not believe that Kennedy would have done that. However, that was useless because he was just a servant, a stranger in this case.
However, it had to be recognized that it was these outsiders who could see things more clearly than those involved. What was happening with Jorge proved this idea perfectly. He was still insisting on his own ideas and was becoming more and more convinced that his grandson had gone too far with his behavior.
Thanks to Dylan’s words, he had enlightened Jorge. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Dylan with a stern gaze. Then he asked, “So, what did you want to say?
Dylan cleared his throat and added, “I suppose there may be some misunderstanding here. Sir, Kennedy is your grandson whom you found with great difficulty, and by no means don’t hurt his feelings about certain things.
Jorgese was at a loss for words. It had to be recognized that Dylan, his servant for a long time, had said something that affected George very much. At times he also realized that he was putting pressure on Kennedy, and sooner or later his grandson would no longer be able to stand himself. But remembering the tragedy of Kennedy’s mother, Jorge didn’t think it was wrong for him to be more stubborn and heavy-handed to keep his grandson by his side forever.
Finally, he let out a sigh and said, -I get your point. Enough of that, I stand by my own opinions.
In the living room, Anthony and Kennedy had arrived a while before Dylan went to tell Jorge. And shortly thereafter he returned with Jorge.
Seeing the two of them slowly approaching them, Kennedy stood up. Suddenly, a blow fell on his shoulder after Jorge raised the cane hit his hand.
“Fuck!” thought Anthony in fright, he didn’t even have time to stop him for not reaching to see how Jorge had hit Kennedy with the cane. And that serious blow sounded pretty loud.
Anthony suddenly stood up and asked worriedly, “Kennedy, are you okay?
Dylan, who was behind Jorge, was also startled, because he believed that what he had said should be convincing for Jorge to change his mind and not punish Kennedy.
“It looked like Kennedy hadn’t tried to get away from that blow. Otherwise, he could have dodged with his agility.” thought Dylan.
It was the truth, Kennedy didn’t want to get away because he didn’t care about a punch like that. The only thing he didn’t want to do was reject Jorge’s decision: Kennedy would have to commit to Zoe. A punch could help Jorge externalize the anger, and that was also a part of Kennedy’s plan, since the conversation would be better after Jorge had calmed down.
Jorge did not expect that, so he was stunned.
The blow with this cane was not gentle at all, he thought Kennedy would dodge it, but…. Instantly, he felt pained from the suffering of that poor little guy, but he didn’t show it but shouted seriously, – Spoiled brat, how dare you come back home after hurting Zoe so much?
