Chapter 124
"It seems that you did not know that my father already didn't want to live anymore. He went through so much pain! He even died in front of me, on his big day with Caitlin! Grandpa, why do you think I don't want to get married at the age of 28? Even when you forced me back then, saying that if I didn't get married, I wouldn't be able to take charge of the family, I could still withstand the pressure...It's because I really can't stand some women. Just thinking about those wealthy daughters makes me think of her...disgusting! Even now, I still feel sick every time I see her!"
"But you can stand that girl?"This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
How could such a young girl become the future hostess of the Ingram family?
Jaxon's headache was about to flare up.
Sebastian stood his ground: "I don't know...Anyway, she's different from the others." He couldn't quite tell the difference yet, but she was different. At least he didn't dislike her.
Even if she acted like a diva outside and expected him to tidy up her mess, he wouldn't dislike her.
Even if she constantly caused trouble, always giving him headaches; even if she tried to please him like a puppy just for a pair of shoes...
Jaxon was tired.
Feeling that continuing the conversation would be fruitless, he simply said, "Let's just put this on hold for now...Anyway, the girl is still young, no need to rush. If you really like her so much, then give her time, and let her grow some more before considering it."
"My determination won't change with time." Unless she herself backed out and refused to marry.
Or if she met someone she liked. Then he would still let her go.
"Since you have such determination, then just wait for it. In that case, please listen to your grandpa this time. Don't rush into a decision. Wait for the opportunity to come. Only then can she, as the hostess of the Ingram family, earn everyone's respect. Then, no one will ridicule us, the Ingram family. Your grandpa will definitely support you!"
Sebastian said calmly, "I'll do my best not to disappoint you, grandpa...but please let Aaron know that if he dares to lay a finger on her again, don't blame me if I deal with him myself! If becoming the Ingram family's hostess is the only way to keep her safe, I don't mind letting her take on the role immediately! At that time, if Aaron messes around again...it'll only mean more scandals for our family."
Grandpa rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again...Aaron's mom has been married to me for so many years. Even though she hasn't made a big contribution, she's still put in some effort and hasn't got much from me. It's also my fault for spoiling Aaron too much. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes in his life, you don't have to be too hard on him...As for your other uncles, as long as I'm still around, they won't make much of a fuss!"
Sebastian lowered his eyes, not saying anything his grandpa wouldn't like to hear.
He knew that his grandpa was already very old. He also understood that his grandfather's favorite child used to be his father, but now his favorite child was himself.
As a true family leader, he needed to maintain harmony and unity. He didn't like internal strife in the family.
But was harmony possible at all?
The Ingram family had always been prone to breeding ambitious people who would stop at nothing to seize power.
Once his grandfather passed away, the Ingram family might very well fall apart within three days.
