Chapter 156
Maximilian furrowed his white eyebrows. He could not stop hitting the floor with his walking stick.
"I have already decided, Grandpa. I love her, and I will only love her. Why do you have so many secular beliefs? Due to the Gulliford family's prestige in Horington, nobody would dare to gossip about us." Trevor's hands held into fists. While speaking to Maximilian, Trevor subconsciously thought of his biological mother.
Trevor had asked people to investigate what Jessica had said, and it appeared to be true. He did not understand why Maximilian had to do what he did.
"Bullshit! Is our family made for others to see? What did I teach you since young? That noble arrogance should be flowing through your body. Why would you fall for such a self-made woman?" Maximilian was livid. He had always taught Trevor to be careful of his identity, yet he forgot his identity today.
The daughter-in-law of the Gulliford family must be Horington's top socialite or any socialite, but she
must never be a commoner.
"Grandpa, was this the reason why you caused my mom's death back then?"
Trevor had held back those words for three years.
If not for Jessica's situation today, Trevor would have continued to endure it.
However, all of the words he had said and changes in the atmosphere were based on this incident.
It had forced Trevor to question if it was because of the bullshit status that had led to the death of his biological mother, caused by his grandfather.
Maximilian fell quiet. His lips were parted and slightly trembled, but no words came out.
Does he know about this? How is this possible? Nobody knew about this, so how did he find out? Maximilian thought to himself.
"Grandpa, you've kept me by your side and raised me since I was young. Was it because you truly liked me? Did you think that I was pitiful? Or was it out of guilt?" Clear and direct, Trevor's words were very blunt. His words cut through Maximilian's skin to his bones. Maximilian could not utter a word.
Never in his dreams did Maximilian expect that he would hear Trevor talking about this in front of him.
Shit, who let the cat out of the bag? Moreover, with Trevor's temper, even if he knew the truth, he would not have tocked his gaze and spiffed the truth like this. So, this is all
alle
because of that woman? Maximilian thought to himself.
Maximilian lowered gaze while his heart clenched.
Looks like he can't continue to keep that woman around.
"You know what, Trevor? So what if this is true? What are you going to do about it?" Maximilian spoke again. This time, his tone softened.
"If you allow me to keep Jessica by my side, I will pretend I don't know anything, Grandpa," Trevor replied calmly, his tone emotionless.
Jessica, Jessica. If only the entire Horington knew that under all the plastic surgery, she's actually Jessica.
"Are you threatening me?"
Maximilian hated the feeling of getting threatened by his grandson.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
It felt as if he had painstakingly raised a cow, only for it to use its horn to aim toward its owner.
"It's not a threat, it's a deal, Grandpa. I did not mean to offend you. I just genuinely like this woman."
"How did I teach you?" Maximilian's voice was soft and gentle, even the anger in his eyes disappeared.
"I've mentioned before. Don't ever
fall in love with someone. If not, they would become your shortcomings and hinderyou. Once someone has a shortcoming, they would do things slowly and hesitantly."
"I know."
Trevor looked down and took in a deep breath. He said, "I will always remember what you've told me, and I dare not forget. However, this. personis different from the rest. I owe her too much, and I could never repay her."
After he had finished speaking, Trevor suddenly remembered what Jessica had told him.
She had said, "Trevor, if you realize that you had wronged me one day, would you be able to repay the debt that you owe me?"
