"Are you jerking me around?"
Stuart was pissed off.
The old Greg took a brilliant move.
He forced Stuart to a corner.
Eddie loved this old man. If he really did something to this old man, Eddie would definitely be sad.
The old Greg knew about this. He forced a bitter smile, "she is my granddaughter. I couldnât stand asides seeing her suffering."
Clyde sneered, "Do you still remember Eddie is also your granddaughter?"
She was now lying in there, bleeding. Who caused all this? Itâs your lovely granddaughter!"
The atmosphere almost froze at the moment. No one dares to talk again as they look at Stuart wearing a gloomy face.
Stuart started talking, "I would make her pay for what sheâs done today."
It has been kind enough of him not to tell them about last night.
The old Greg sighed. Heâs been a frank and forthright man in all his life. He didnât expect he had to forfeit his integrity for his granddaughterâwhat a shame.
But what else could he do?
"I know all these were Victoriaâs fault. But I am her grandpa. I couldnât just stand aside. No matter how you want to punish her, I would take it for her."
The old Greg said word by word.
Stanley walked to his father, "Dad, you donât need to do this. Mr. Yates, it is my responsibility to teach her. But apparently, I didnât teach her well. It is my fault. I would take full responsibility. Do whatever you want to me. But please let them go."
"No, dad."
"Stanley...."
Stuart was boiling with anger.
If Eddie saw this, how heartbreak she would be?
If Victoria stabbed directly into Eddieâs heart, Eddie might already die immediately. No one gives sympathy to his wife. Now he realized that Edie had suffered so much from her own family. No wonder his wife is aloof and distant at the beginning of their encounter. He felt pity for Edie.
But no one here asked about Eddieâs condition. Everyone was begging Stuart for mercy.
Even Eddieâs beloved grandpa.
She was still lying in the surgery room, in danger.
And the family was still playing such a disgusting trick in front of him.
He felt sorry for Eddie. He felt heart-ache for Eddie.
His eyes finally fell on the old Gregâs face, "Donât you feel guilty? You didnât even ask about the other granddaughterâs condition. She is now lying in the surgery room. She might die. Why are you still begging for the criminal? If Eddie knew this, she would hurt badly."
His words made the old Greg shudder.
Stuart didnât start with "Grandpa."
He realized he was really getting senile. He just saw Stuart wanted to cut Victoriaâs tongue off. He almost forgot Eddie lying in the surgery room.
Looking at the old manâs pale face, Stuart sneered. He turned towards Stanley.
His eyes are like a knife wanting to cut his body into pieces.
"Eddieâs also your daughter. Have you forgotten her already? Youâve never paid any attention to her. But after you knew she would marry me, you immediately announced that sheâs also your daughter too. How vicious you are. Smart move. Really smart. But let me tell you this, you donât deserve to be Edieâs father,"
"I... I didnât," Stanley wanted to reject it.
"Okay, then prove it to me. I would make you the most powerful man in A as long as you cut her tongue off."
"What....what?" Stanley fell on the ground with fear. How can he harm his other daughter to get what he wants?
"Otherwise, I would destroy your business in seconds."
Stanleyâs face became paler, just like a little rascal, and fell into a big trap.
In front of Stuart, the king from hell, they were nothing but trash.
This was the cost of hurting the woman he loved the most. This was his revenge.
Stanley was forced into a dilemma.
He had to choose one between hundreds of thousands of employees and his daughterâs tongue.
He didnât need others to tell him which one was more important.
Stanley began to wobble.
He stood up. Mrs. Greg kneeled down in front of him suddenly. "Stanley, donât do this. She is our daughter."
"I...I donât want to. But... dad, what should I do now?"
Stanley looked towards the old Greg. He couldnât make any decision now.
The old Greg stared at Stuart. His face was mixed with different feelings, "kids, what do you want?"
"Nothing else. Your Granddaughter stabbed Eddie. She should pay for it. I couldnât control the force. So I think itâd be better if you can do yourself."
Stuartâs voice was flat, indifferent, and cold.
All of a sudden, the corridor fell into a dead silence, as if the air was frozen.
The atmosphere got really weird.
Suddenly, a bell ring broke the silence.
The guard already threw the knife to them. The knife fell on the ground, making a tinkling sound.
The couple looked at the old Greg in charge. They wanted him to solve the problem.
But the old Greg couldnât think of any other ideas.
Finally, he said, "Okay then. Indeed Vic should pay for it. If you couldnât do it, I would."
"Pass me the knife."
The old Greg asked his son.
Stanley kept shaking his head. He held the knife tightly in his hands. "Vicâs my daughter. I would take full responsibility for her mistake."
Then, he stabbed into his belly heavily. But Mrs. Greg stopped him.
Mrs. Greg was just a woman. Her face was already covered with tears. But no one knew she was sad or terrified.
She turned towards Stuart,
"CEO Yates, please. We are also Eddieâs families. Though we didnât contact each other too much, we raised her up. Please forgive Vic and us. Sheâs our only daughter. If she lost tongue, what could she do in the future? Please, I beg you. If anything really happens to Eddie, you could punish Vic then. We wouldnât say a word."
"Anything?"
Stuart stared at her, frowning.
He already ran out of patience.
