“The company?”
“That’s right. Evan is the pillar of the Seet family. If he falls, so does our family. The progress of the company’s newest research will also be affected. In other words, even if the research gets completed, if anything happens to Evan, whether that technology will be successfully released to the market is still unknown. This shows that whoever is doing this is afraid of him. They’re treating him as their greatest rival!”
Sophia threw Evan a worried look, reminding him to be extra careful from now on.
“Your mother is right. The enemy is hiding in the shadows where we can’t see them. You need to be on your guard.”
“I got it, Mom, Dad.”
The words had barely left his lips when a small figure darted over.
“Juan, what are you doing here as well?”
When Juan had not seen Kyle anywhere in the classroom, he had guessed that his brother would be here. Hence, he had rushed over as soon as he could.
Juan placed his bag off to the side before kneeling down beside his brother.
“What are you two doing!”
“We’re doing this on behalf of our Mommy!” Juan’s voice rang out clearly.
A sly look flashed across his eyes before he deliberately raised his voice louder. “Mommy angered Great-grandpa so we’re kneeling here on her behalf. We hope that Great-grandpa will forgive Mommy!”
He was certain that Russell would be able to hear what he said.
With how much their great-grandfather loved them, he was certain that the old man would not let them kneel there for long.
That means that Great-grandpa will have no choice but to forgive Mommy!
Jonathan gave Evan a pleading look, wanting him to persuade his kids to get up.
After a moment of thought, Evan replied, “Let them be!”
“Evan, how could you say that?”
Sophia, who loved her precious grandchildren to bits, could not bear to see them like this. Anger rose within her at her son’s cruelty. How could he just let them suffer?
“Evan, they are your sons!”
From where he was standing off to the side, Davin pursed his lips. If it had been him saying something like that, Sophia would have slapped him upside his head again!
Yet these words coming out of Evan’s mouth did not earn him a smack from their mother, even though she was evidently displeased to hear it.
We’re both her sons, yet we receive such different treatments! You know what, I’m going to do a DNA test one of these days. I need to know whether or not I’m their biological son!
Evan fixed his gaze on Russell’s room door and spoke in a loud voice, “Grandpa is making their mother suffer for something that her father did! If that’s the case, why can’t they suffer on behalf of their mother? If that’s the kind of rule that Grandpa is setting for this family then they should both continue kneeling there!”
While it sounded like Evan was lecturing the kids, he was actually saying this for Russell to hear.
He had always respected his grandfather deeply. Yet, he could not understand what Russell was doing right now.
Even if Zane had done something unforgivable to the Seet family, Russell should not have taken his anger out on Nicole.
Sophia sighed upon hearing her son’s words.
Evan had not inherited his stubborn temperament from Jonathan. Rather, he inherited it from Russell himself.
It was obvious Evan was going to butt heads with Russell. With two such obstinate men at odds with each other, things were bound to get ugly.
Unfortunately, the ones who would suffer the most were the two little boys currently on their knees.
“Evan, at least let them stand up first? We can think of another way. They’re too young!”
Evan refused to give in. “Let them kneel!”
At that moment, Russell’s voice boomed out from his room.
“Evan, you don’t have to threaten me! If you want to kneel with them then go ahead! As long as you’re a part of the Seet family, you’re not allowed to have any relations with that woman!”
Sophia, Jonathan and Davin exchanged alarmed glances.
It is evident that Russell is still enraged. In fact, it seems like he is even more furious than he was yesterday!
“Mom, Dad, you should head back to your room. There’s no point in all of us standing around here. Evan can do whatever he likes. Grandpa has raised and cultivated him since young, which means that their temperaments are incredibly similar. He should understand what’s going on in Grandpa’s mind now, more than anyone else. Let him try!”
