Chapter 169


    Chapter 169


    Cynthia remained quiet, and the others appeared to be in a bad mood.


    Duane carefully considered his words and ultimately said, “Dad, honestly, your favoritism is showing.”


    “And yours isn’t? Have you ever seen anyone who’s unbiased?” Old Man Neal retorted without a hint of


    amiability.


    Duane pretended not to grasp the implied meaning, clearing his throat before continuing, “I’m referring


    to your treatment of the younger generation, George and Kimberly are your own grandchildren, Why


    haven’t you shown the same protection toward them?”


    Old Man Neal let out a cold snort, his displeasure evident. It was apparent that he was displeased.


    “Why should I protect them?”


    Old Man Neal could not care less about the others’ feelings. As the eldest and most authoritative figure


    in the family, he was always direct and straightforward.


    “They’re your biological grandchildren. Have you ever seen a grandpa who favors his daughter-inw


    more than his own flesh and blood?” Duane emphasized, unwilling to give up.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers began to disy a range of emotions. They could


    see that Duane was deliberately trying to belittle Cynthia, insinuating that she was nothing more than


    an outsider.


    “So, I’m supposed to neglect Cynthia and love you ungrateful lot? Have George and Kimberly ever


    shown any concern for me besidesing to me forfort and help?” Old Man Neal was now visibly


    irritated and did not bother with pleasantries.


    “Don’t even mention Kimberly and George. Even Joshua and Moses, those two troublemakers, can’t


    hold a candle to Cynthia!” Old Man Neal said bluntly, disregarding everyone.


    The old and the young alike, both needpanionship and care. Although Joshua and Moses showed


    concern for him when they returned and paid attention to his health and emotions, the two rascals had


    not spent much time with him. As for Kimberly and George, apart from approaching him when they


    needed something, their presence was rarely seen.


    “Kimberly is still young and doesn’t know any better. As for George…


    Forget it.


    He could note up with an excuse for that brat.


    “Stop giving excuses for them. I may be old, but I’m not se nile.” Old Man Neal thundered, growing


    increasingly emotional as he continued, “Among both your families, who have apanied me in


    ying chess, painting, and meditating like Cynthia?”


    “Not a single one!”


    “Are you going to say you’re busy? Joshua tends the vast Neal Group and still manages to find time to


    apany me every month. Are you busier than him?”


    Old Man Neal grow angrier as he spoke. Duane and Henry’s familles did not dare to speak up. They


    knew very well that they had not done enough In these matters. However, painting, ying chess, and


    meditating were so boring, and they were not interested in such things.


    “Grandpa, aren’t you afraid of hurting our feelings by saying this? Who knows if Cynthia deliberately

    learned these hobbles of yours in advance just to win your favor after marrying Joshua?” Kimberly’s


    prejudice against Cynthia grew stronger.

    Cynthia, who had remained silent all this time, spoke up. “You can learn too. As long as you surpass


    me in any one of them, I’ll have Grandpa hand over the Neal Group to you.”


    –


    “That’s eptable,” Old Man Neal decisively said. He still could not defeat Cynthia. Sometimes, hel


    wondered how she could be so skilled in chess. Although every game ended in either win or a draw,


    when he reviewed the matchester, he could tell that Cynthia had subtly let him win or draw.


    Kimberly’s temper was ignited. “Have you ever asked Joshua for his opinion on this?”


    “I have no objections.”


    Joshua’s response was calm and indifferent.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
