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.

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

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

“Dad, how can you beat Gregory just because of Amanda when she isn’t even your granddaughter? You
