“Heh, you think I’m consulting with you?”
The old man grunted coldly, the chopsticks in his hand placed heavily on the table, and added: “But it doesn’t have to be that way. If you want to get that woman out that’s fine, as long as you marry Jocelynn right away, everything will be fine.”
All said and done, the old man went to great lengths just to get Edward married to Jocelynn.
Once again, Edward fell silent.
Slowly hanging his head, reached for the white wine and poured himself a glass of wine, raised his hand, and drank it all.
And then, another glass was poured and finished.
The third cup, once again, was drunk clean.
That boozy look, as if he was drinking not wine but plain water.
“Even if you let me marry Jocelynn, you need to get Vivian out and I’ll go through a divorce with her.”
“Joke, you think I, the Henderson Family, even need her to be there for a divorce?”
The old man gave him a blank look, “Don’t think I don’t know, when you and Vivian got the marriage license, he wasn’t there either.”
A sentence directly choked Edward.
“I have to see someone today, or all is forgiven.”
“Good. You can see someone if you want to, and I will naturally let you see her after the baby is born.”
Bang–
As the old man’s words fell, the cup in Edward’s hand fell heavily on the table, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, “Are you threatening me?”
What he hates most is being threatened.
Even if it’s a real grandfather, it’s still the same.
For his anger, Old Mr. Henderson did not take it seriously, not even a glance.
Pick up the chopsticks and continue to dine in a leisurely manner.
Chew slowly chew the meal, sometimes pick up the white wine slowly tasting, very bland.
It was his appearance that angered Edward. The man stood up in a flash and was about to say something when he suddenly saw someone walk in, approach Old Mr. Henderson and whisper something in his ear.
Intuition tells Edward that it must be something related to Vivian.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but the sound was so low that he didn’t hear a word.
The servant was speaking to Old Mr. Henderson, but Old Mr. Henderson suddenly raised his eyes and swept a glance at Edward, and then just said as cold as basalt ice: “Of course it is my heavy grandson that is important.”
“Yes, Master, I will order it down immediately.”
The servant who finished the report turned around and tried to leave, but Edward stepped forward and blocked him directly, “Stop. Is something wrong with Vivian?”
Speaking of great-grandchildren, can there be anyone else in the Henderson Family other than his children?
“This … this …”
The servant looked at Edward with fear and trembling, and looked back at Old Mr. Henderson with some difficulty, not daring to speak for half a day.
It is very scornful of Edward, but in the Henderson Family old house, the person who really has authority is still the Henderson Family old man.
Old Mr. Henderson also did not hide Edward, said: “Word came from there that Vivian was a little depressed when she was pregnant and her body was very weak, resulting in a difficult delivery now, with the baby stuck in the birth canal and in critical condition.”
What should have been kept a secret from Edward, but the Henderson Family senior said it on purpose, in testing Edward’s heart for Vivian.
“What?”
Edward’s pupils widened, and at that moment, his sweat stood up, a creepy feeling.
His heart was racing and his breath was slightly choked, making him feel chilled all over.
That kind of feeling has never been felt before.
“Where’s Vivian?”
He grabbed the servant in front of him and questioned.
The servant’s face was white with fear, but he dared not say anything, but looked at Edward with a sobbing face, shaking like chaff.
Edward, somewhat helpless, raised his eyes to look at the old man and asked, “Where is Vivian?”
The same words were repeated with an aggravated and very angry tone.
It is on the verge of exploding, so to speak.
“What’s wrong with trading that woman’s life for my grandson?”
Treating human life like an ant.
The Henderson Family has always been like this.
“Vivian’s mother is certainly at fault, but she’s already dead. If you’re taking Vivian’s life, don’t you think you’ll have a bad conscience!”
He never wanted to take Vivian’s life.
“Unbridled!”
The old man burst into a rage, slammed the table and stood up directly, “I the Henderson Family’s daughter-in-law will not be her two sinners’ lives can rival?”
“So if they die, will my mom come back to life?”
Since childhood, although Edward did not obey the old man’s words, but never quarrel with the old man, today’s he is also considered the first time in more than 30 years.
The argument between the two was so loud that it alerted many people.
Jocelynn, who happened to be on her way over, also heard the two arguing and stood in the doorway without daring to show her face.
Edward’s nostrils flared slightly, his face was blue, and he said through gritted teeth, “I’ll say it one last time, tell me, where is Vivian?!”
Word for word, almost every word was squeezed out from the teeth.
At this moment, although standing in front of him is the Henderson Family senior, but for this situation, it is like Edward is facing the enemy in general.
“For the sake of a mere bitch, you flip-flop with me? You’re going to turn against me, huh? You still say you don’t like that woman, I think you’ve already forgotten how your mother died.”
The implication is that Edward has fallen deeply in love with Vivian, disregarding his mother’s death, and is very ungrateful for falling in love with a sinner.
“That’s my business, not yours.”
Edward held back his anger.
“Fine, since it has nothing to do with me, I don’t have to talk to you. Just consume, even if a corpse has two lives what does it matter to me.”
The old man, on the contrary, was not in a hurry, sat down in a calm manner and continued to drink.
After all, the person who values Vivian the most is Edward, so how could the old man be nervous?
Edward was furious and finally swept his gaze at the servant standing in front of him, suddenly pulling out a gun from behind him and pointing it directly at his knee with a bang, the sound especially clear in the rustling snowy sky.
When the gunshots rang out, the birds perched in the yard were frightened and flew away.
“Ah, it hurts … my leg, my leg ah …”
The innocent servant immediately fell to the ground, clutching his leg that was spilling crimson blood, rolling on the ground in pain and screaming.
At the Henderson Family home, not to mention the fact that no one has ever touched a gun.
And Edward is a calm person in the day, but today is repeatedly abnormal.
The old man who was still calm just now was completely unsettled.
He swept a sideways glance at the servant lying on the ground, glanced at those servants gathered outside the restaurant, and finally landed his gaze on Edward, “Do you want to rebel?”
Edward tilted his head and chest, “I don’t dare. the Henderson Family you are the head of the family, everything is up to you, but today I must see Vivian!”
The filial piety in the bones cannot be changed.
Even if Edward cared about Vivian, he would never do it to a loved one.
If he dares to make a move on his relatives, I am afraid that one day he will also make a move on women.
“Get out of here if you don’t dare!”
