Chapter 123
Gregory was so shocked as he glanced at the broken piece on the ground. If not for his quick flex,
his face would have been hit right now.
He lifted his head and looked forward only to see an angry old man making him sigh.
He started walking towards him as he knew that was in great trouble.
His cousin who was seated opposite his grandfather had a smug on his face as he looked at him making Gregory feel as if he was going to have a headache so soon.
Without being told, he knew that his cousin was the one who had spoken ill of him in front of the old
man and made things worse.
“Father, do you want to hurt him? If his face is ruined, do you think that any woman would want a disfigured man?” he heard his mother asking making his mouth lift but he quickly hid it.
Hearing the soft crying voice, the old man came back to his senses.
He of course didn’t want to hit it. He had thrown the coffee cup out of anger but he never expected Gregory to make an entrance at that moment.
Although he felt guilty and at the same time he was afraid, he didn’t dare show his emotions and even pretended that he had not done anything wrong.
Everyone in the living room had been observing the old man and when he saw his shrugging, they kne that it wouldn’t be easy for the old man to admit his mistake and apologize to Gregory.
Some who had been fighting for power were happy as they thought that the relationship between the two would be ruined and couldn’t wait to show their filialness to the old man in hopes that he would take back the shares he had given Gregory and give them to them.
“Why should grandpa apologize? He hasn’t done something wrong!” one of Gregor’s cousins said mak Gregory and his parents frown.

“Who told Grandpa to apologize? Did you hear your things?” Gregory’s younger sister asked making her
brother and some of the other cousins who were on good terms with Gregory and his family chuckle.
The man who had spoken clenched his hands into a fist as he swore that when he got the shares and
control over the family, he would make her pay for the humiliation she had caused him.
The young lady had never been afraid of causing trouble or what people would say as she had always.

Gregory’s younger brother saw his reaction and hatred in his eyes and glared at the man.
Feeling the sharp piercing look that was directed to him from a certain direction, the man looked up
and met with his eyes.
Although Gregory’s younger brother was also younger than the cousin, he was still terrifying just like his big brother thus when he met the eyes, the man subconsciously everted his gaze quickly
afraid that he might be ruined if he continued looking at him.
“Grandpa, why are you so angry?” Gregory asked in a soft voice as he squatted in front of the old
man.
Seeing his favorite grandson’s pure yet innocent eyes, the old man was inwardly happy to see him as
it had been long since Gregory visited him. Also, as he continued looking at the eyes, he didn’t
believe the rumors which circulated about his grandson being ruthless and cold–hearted as to him,
boy was still innocent and didn’t know the cruelty of the world. But he was wrong. If not for the fact things had been kept under wraps and he never found out, he wouldn’t have been thinking what he
was thinking.
Instead, he would have been worried and sad. But at the same time, helps Gregory take down his enemies He also was never a good person during his young age. He was even more ruthless than Gregory maki him the most feared person. Because of him, no one dared to mess with him.

“Pfft! Don’t think I am not mad at you!! I sent you to take care of Amanda Anderson and make sure nothing happened to her but what happened? She was killed under your nose,” the old man said
angrily.
“Who knew that the so–called powerful Gregory Gilbert couldn’t even finish such a simple task? You are weak. The Gilbert heir shouldn’t be as weak as you are!” another cousin said in mockery.
If they were alone, she wouldn’t have dared to as she would have been punished. Although Gregory would never lay a hand on a woman, he always punished them in other ways. He was not only feared outside but also by his family.
Since it was in front of the old man she spoke as she knew that Gregory couldn’t do anything to him as he wanted to maintain the innocent and pure Gregory in front of their grandfather.
“You better watch how you speak to your eldest cousin! When I am gone, you will all have to depend on
him. If you guys have a bad relationship, do you think that he will take care of you? You might end up being thrown out,” the old man reprimanded his granddaughter as he wasn’t happy with her word
Although he thought of Gregory as pure, that didn’t mean he never saw the greed and hatred of some o
his grandchildren. He could but there wasn’t anything much he could do as he didn’t want to be told
that he was biased.
All he hoped was that Gregory could take care of himself and eventually make peace with his cousins
and even get along.
“Grandpa, you even dared to throw a cup at me just because of Amanda? She is just a spoiled brat!”
Gregory remembered how Amanda had disturbed him in the morning.
“You! How would you talk like that? She is dead because of you! I think that you should even be
punished!” the old man said as he beat Gregory with his cane.
“Dad, how can you beat Gregory just because of Amanda when she isn’t even your granddaughter? You
He wasn’t able to complete his sentence as he was interrupted.
“She was his fiancée!”
