Chapter 580


    Letting a person live lucidly in pain for the rest of their life was the biggest punishment.


    Rowan wiped his hand with a smirk. He took onest look at William and left quietly.


    …


    The early morning sun spilled through the memorial hall’s traditional window and shone on the portraits


    of the Hamerton ancestors.


    Many servants were crowding the door as they looked inside in worry. With the dull thud and an abrupt


    fall of a figure, they gasped and rushed in.


    “Mr. Matthew fainted! Mr. Matthew fainted!”


    “Go get Mr. rk!


    rk came over with some other men to take care of the incident and ryed it to Liam with a solemn


    face.


    Matthew had stayed on his knees in the memorial hall for one whole day without food or water and


    finally sumbed in the morning.


    Liam’s brows were furrowed as he tapped his dragon-headed cane on the floor, a cold gleam shing


    across his eyes.


    After some time, he got up and strode briskly to Matthew’s ce.


    Matthew was having chicken soup when he heard that his father wasing to him. He quickly asked


    his servants to take it away and weakly pulled his nket up to rest against the bed.


    “Are you feeling better?”


    “Oh, dad, you’re here…” Matthew pretended to get up but coughed violently just as he straightened up.


    Liam looked cold. “You’re not young anymore. The memorial hall’s cold. How could you kneel there


    through the night?”

    “Dad… I can’t find peace if I don’t ask for the ancestors’ forgiveness…” Matthew began to wipe his


    tears. “I… I really didn’t expect Yale to conspire with William Jenner!”


    “Really?” Liam sneered. “The father has no idea of what his son’s doing? Has your father-and-son


    rtionship faded to this extent?”


    “Well—”


    “Since you’re distant now, there’s no need to plead his case for him!”


    Matthew was rendered speechless.


    Liam nced at him. His voice was stern, and his cane was loud against the floor. “Do you really think


    I’m senile!? Do you really feel guilty, or are you putting up a show for everyone kneeling in the


    memorial hall!?”


    “Dad…”


    Matthew quivered and turned pale, instantly bouncing off the bed and getting on his knees.


    “Dad, are you really going to put Yale behind bars? H-He only wanted to steal the set of medicinal


    forms because that b*stard William Jenner deceived him! He—”Books Chapters Are Daily

    “Shut up!” snarled Liam. “Deluded? Hah, does he have no brain? Does he not know what kind of


    person William Jenner is? I think birds of a feather flock together! He’s the same type of person William


    Jenner is. That’s why he’s done such a humiliating thing!”


    Matthew was sweating profusely as he shook.


    “He’s my eldest grandson. I once had high hopes for him. Even if he is not as talented as Zephyr, I


    thought it’d be more than enough that he’d manage the subsidiaries like his cousins. I didn’t expect him


    to…


    “That set of medicinal forms belongs to the Irwins!” Liam was furious. “And he wants to steal it!?


    What would that say about the Hamertons if word about this got out!? The Irwins are our inws.


    Wouldn’t I be embarrassed in front of them!?”


    Matthew had never seen his father this enraged. He was shocked as well and dared not say more.


    After a while, Liam sighed. “Thew will decide Yale’s sentence. I’ll get him awyer. His crime is far


    lighter than William Jenner’s, so he won’t be inside for too long!”


    “Dad!” Matthew was on the floor clutching Liam’s pants, crying and begging for thetter to have mercy.


    “Dad… Yale’s your grandson! It’s embarrassing that he wanted to steal the Irwins’ set of medicinal


    forms, but is it not embarrassing that you send your own grandson to prison?”
