Jack was cut off mid-sentence when Hector hit him with his cane and yelled angrily, “You b*stard!” The look in Jack’s eyes was icy-cold when he turned to look at Hector. “Grandpa, are you siding with an outsider?*
Hector was hoping that he would be right about Jack being innocent. After all, he had watched Jack grow up, so he believed his grandson would never do something so heartless.
Even with everything Lucian told him, Hector was still clinging to the possibility of Jack being innocent. It wasn’t until Jack showed up and taunted Lucian that Hector finally believed he was guilty.
Although Jack had carefully worded his sentences to avoid admitting to his crime, his attitude toward Lucian made it incredibly obvious.
Hector was able to read between the lines and felt utterly disappointed in Jack To think that my grandson, whom I have worked so hard to nurture from a young age, would do such a horrible thing behind my back…
Hector was so overwhelmed by the sudden realization that he didn’t know how to respond. After hearing Jack threaten Lucian, Hector snapped out of it and whacked him with his cane.
“I am on the side of justice! What have you done to Dr. Jarvis? Have you forgotten what I taught you? One should only use medical knowledge to save people, not harm them! How could you do something so horrible? I’m disappointed in you!” he shouted furiously when Jack questioned him.
Jack was extremely displeased as he had finally gotten the upper hand against Lucian, only to have his grandfather beat and lecture him a second later.
“This is between us young people, so you should stay out of this. Anyway, it’s really hot out here. I’ll have the butler bring you indoors,” Jack replied and summoned the butler. The atmosphere in the back garden was so intense that it felt like a battlefield, minus the gunfire and explosions.
As the butler had been summoned, he had no choice but to make his way over. He then stared between Jack and Hector anxiously as he was unsure who he should take orders from. Hector slammed his cane down into the ground and shouted angrily, “Why did you come over? I’m still alive and kicking here! He is not the one in charge of this household!”
The butler shuddered as he nodded and went back into the house. As the tension between Hector and Jack continued to rise, Lucian stepped aside and watched on with an expressionless look on his face.
Old Mr. Damaris did not know about the horrible things Jack had been doing behind his back. Now that he is aware, he is sure to interfere and force Jack to save Roxanne.
“Well? Start talking! What have you done to Dr. Jarvis? Mr. Farwell says she’s still unconscious right now! What did you do to her?” Hector shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice.
I can’t believe Jack would go as far as messing with Farwell Group! It’s true that we are from a prestigious family in the medical field, but that’s pretty much all there is to our family. There’s no way we could ever stand up to a business empire like Farwell Group! If Farwell Group so much as decides to come after us, there would be nothing we could do about it!
“I think you should go get some rest, Grandpa. A man of your age shouldn’t be worrying about these things. It’s bad for your health!” Jack replied impatiently.
Hector raised his cane once again when he heard that, but he didn’t bring it down on Jack this time. After all, there was no point in hitting Jack when it wouldn’t change a thing.
“If you really cared about my well-being, then apologize to Mr. Farwell and wake Dr. Jarvis up!”
