Chapter 1275


    Chapter 1275


    John certainly had mixed emotions about staying, since he was really looking forward to Cordy’s period


    to be over.


    And yet, he ended up the victim of yet another poorly-timed bombshell.


    “I would like to be alone for a while,” Jesse suddenly said, his voice still weary. “Not you, Sean. Stay for


    a moment.”


    “Come on,” John said, leading Cordy while putting a hand around her shoulder.


    Patrick nced at Sean, who nodded-he more or less knew why his grandfather told him to stay.


    Patrick refrained from speaking in turn and followed Cordy and John out of the ward.


    Even the medical staff left, leaving just Jesse with Sean.


    Jesse started to sit up, and Sean hurried over to put a pillow vertically behind his back so that he could


    sit morefortably.


    Nheless, Jesse soon asked bluntly, “What’s the deal with you and Patrick Stuart?”


    Sean did not actually mention anything about him and Patrick while Jesse was in aa. He knew his


    grandfather would not ept it and did not want to burden him.


    However, it was obvious that Jesse was far more formidable than what Sean gave him credit for and


    could tell immediately something was going on between him and Patrick.


    As such, Sean pursed his lips and admitted to it. “It’s exactly what you think it is, Grandfather.”


    “Preposterous!” Jesse snapped a little too loudly.


    Cordy and the others were outside. They would not have heard Jesse, but they certainly could when he


    was being that loud.


    Cordy turned toward Patrick, obviously aware of what Jesse was upset about.


    However, Patrick simply remained silent.


    It was not as if he was not worried-he simply trusted Sean.


    At the same time, Sean had his lower back as he said,” Please calm down, Grandfather. You’ve just


    recovered, and you can wait until you’re better before you scold me-or mete out whatever punishment


    you have in mind. Your health matters.”


    “I pinned all my hopes on you, Sean,” Jesse huffed in disappointment. “You know that none in our


    family are special, and I won’t rest easy if any of them took control of the family estate. That’s why I


    personally groomed you, but this is the way you repay me?! Do you want our lineage to end under your


    watch?!”


    “I already have that covered, Grandfather.” Sean said, knowing that his grandfather would not rest until


    he gave his grandfather something to work with.


    “How so?!” Jesse remained agitated.


    “Like you said, everyone in the family isn’t worth inheriting the family estate. However, Cordy is,” Sean


    said bluntly.


    Jesse brinked, actually swayed ever so slightly.


    “However, I’d understand if you have misgivings about it since Cordy isn’t technically a Cranston, which


    is why I believe Dicky is the better choice,” Sean said.


    Jesse twitched again-though he was ring at Sean, he did not argue.


    Sean hence went on to borate, “Cordy, John, and I havee to an agreement. Dicky will stay with


    us, and I’ll groom him personally so that he can be strong enough to lead the family. While I


    personally hope that he’ll change it, he doesn’t have to, and I’d still have to ask for Cordy and John’s


    permission-even if I think they’d say yes. I’m sure you know about Dicky’s potential, and he would have


    no issues taking leadership if we start with him now.”


    “You’ve really covered all corners, huh?” Jesse growled coolly.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
