Chapter 253: Grandpa Comes to Take You Home
“Ha!” Jared Farrell placed his hands on the armrests of the chair, leisurely adjusted his cuffs, and then stood up, walking slowly towards Liliosa. His presence was overwhelming; with each step he took, Liliosa felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
Frightened by Jared Farrell, Liliosa retreated but refused to lose her composure. She shouted sternly, “What are you doing? This is the Reed family, you can’t act recklessly here!”
Jared Farrell looked at her panicked expression and smiled wickedly. “Don’t worry! I have a cleanliness obsession; I don’t touch mad dogs.”
“Jared Farrell!” Liliosa’s face turned green with anger. This worthless man dared to call her a mad dog!
Jared Farrell casually took out his phone from his pocket. “I usually don’t like to use civilized means to solve problems, but my Tina prefers civilized ways, so let’s do it her way.” With that, he dialed a number.
The call connected quickly, and Logan’s voice came through. “You brat! You still remember to call me? Where did you take my granddaughter-in-law? Hurry up and bring her to see this old man!”
“Grandpa!” Jared Farrell glanced indifferently at the Reed family members. “I spent three hundred million dollars to buy an Imperial Green raw stone for Tina. The Reed family wants Tina to hand over the Imperial Green because they think I can’t afford three hundred million and that we lied.”
The Reed family members were speechless. What a tattletale! Can’t he have some dignity? Why does he always have to complain?
“That’s nonsense!” Logan exploded with anger. “My grandson can be poor, but my granddaughter-in-law can’t be! Three hundred million is nothing! I can give a hundred billion if needed!”
“And you Reed family have the nerve to ask my granddaughter-in-law to hand over what she worked hard for? Keep dreaming!”
“What are you trying to do? You took my granddaughter-in-law home and still gave her trouble? Do you think I’m dead?”
“Wait for me! All of you wait! I’m coming right now to take my granddaughter-in-law home!”
“Granddaughter-in-law, leave that damn Reed family. Grandpa will send a car to pick you up immediately!”
“No way! I can’t swallow this anger; I need to go to the nursing home and scold Muff!”
The Reed family members were stunned again. Logan hung up the phone without giving them a chance to react.
Annabelle rubbed her temples in frustration and looked at Liliosa. “Are you satisfied now?”
Liliosa shrugged. “I did nothing wrong!” She didn’t care if Tina stayed with the Reed family; she just wanted Jasper’s family to be unhappy.
Annabelle was annoyed but couldn’t do anything about her daughter. Over the years, Liliosa had frequently returned home, causing trouble for the family because of her lost daughter. Everyone had been accommodating her because of what happened back then, but now she was getting more unreasonable.
Annabelle looked apologetically at Tina and said softly, “Tina, don’t mind your aunt; she speaks without thinking. I’ll talk to her later.”
Then she turned to Jared Farrell. “Jared, please say something nice to your grandpa. Regardless of whether you paid for it or not, I never intended for Tina to hand over the Imperial Green to the Reed family.”
Jared Farrell leaned lazily against the chair and said indifferently, “Annabelle, you misunderstand me. I have no authority; it’s my grandpa who calls the shots in the Farrell family. In our little home, Tina is in charge.”
Annabelle was speechless. It was clear that he only knew how to complain!
Meanwhile, Logan hung up the phone and shouted angrily, “Mike, get the car ready!”
Marie came downstairs just in time to see Logan fuming with anger. She hurried over and asked, “Dad, who made you so angry?”
“Who else? Those dogs from the Reed family!” Logan huffed as he put on his coat.
“The Reed family?” Marie was puzzled. “What did they do?”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“They didn’t provoke me; they bullied my granddaughter-in-law!” As Mike pulled the car up front, Logan explained everything to Marie while heading outside.
“What!” Marie was furious. “They dared bully my daughter-in-law? Do they think I’m just decoration? Dad, wait for me; I’m coming with you to get Tina!”
Instead of going straight to the Reed family house, Logan first went to the nursing home.
As soon as he saw Muff Reed at the nursing home, Logan didn’t give him a chance to speak and started scolding him furiously. “You old fool! Look at what kind of people you’ve raised! They have no skills other than bullying my granddaughter-in-law!”
“Do you think I’m too old to fight back? One by one, everyone thinks they can walk all over me? I cherish my granddaughter-in-law more than anything; how dare you bully her! If you’re tired of living, I’ll gladly send you off!”
“I’m telling you now; I’m going to get Tina back! My temper isn’t great; if someone gets hurt accidentally, don’t come asking me for medical expenses because I’m broke!”
Logan ranted on without letting Muff get a word in edgewise before storming out with Marie.
Muff was left dumbfounded in his hospital bed until long after they had left.
Finally snapping out of it, Muff cursed angrily, “Logan Farrell! You damned old man! You can’t live a day without causing me trouble!”
He quickly called out, “Lee! Get the car ready; we’re going home!”
Back at Whispering Pines!
Ever since Logan announced he was coming for Tina, everyone in the Reed household had been on high alert, gathered in the living room waiting anxiously.
Logan was notorious for being unreasonable!
His antics were well-known-crying, making scenes-and no one knew how they’d deal with him this time.
Everyone except Liliosa, Willow, and Lily Ward was tense.
Liliosa appeared indifferent and provocatively glanced at Jasper and Tina.
Willow kept stealing glances at Jasper’s face; each look made her feel more captivated by him.
Lily Ward stared at Jared Farrell and Tina’s tightly clasped hands with jealousy and resentment nearly bursting forth. Her fingers clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her skin without her noticing.
Just then, a car horn sounded outside, snapping everyone back into focus.
Moments later, Logan’s booming voice echoed from outside: “Tina! Grandpa’s here to take you home!”
