Chapter 865 We Weren’t Bullying Grandpa


    “Then what about Jon? He''s a Whitman. I won''t object to it if you make him the new leader."


    "Are you trying to force my hand?! Stop ttering yourself. I''m far more experienced than you. How dare you y these tricks on me! I may have one


    foot in the grave, but I can still punish you and make your lives in Docwood difficult!" Harold shouted. Although he was scolding them, he was telling


    the truth.


    Preston had been in jail for several years, but he had not suffered much on ount of the family. Preston would havenguished in jail if Harold had


    been serious about punishing him then.


    Though he was outraged, Preston did not dare to make a scene. He gave up and sat in an armchair. "I don''t give a damn. I''ll just be frank. Only Jon


    or I can be made the leader. Don''t even dream of giving the position to someone else."


    Trying to curry favor with Harold, Jonathan massaged Harold''s shoulders. “Grandpa. we only wish to help you shoulder the burden. We need


    someone to manage thepany. You''re old and shouldn''t overexert yourself, and it’s unrealistic to rely on your five-year-old grandson."


    "You''re so eager to get the position when it''s uncertain if Joseph is alive or not."


    Harold had quit smoking many years ago for his health, but after failing to reach Joseph since yesterday, he had lit up a few cigars out of frustration.


    There was currently a cigar between his fingers, and smoke hung in the air, making his emotionless wrinkled face look terrifying.


    Jonathan shrugged and looked to Preston for help


    Losing his patience, Preston said fiercely, “You stubborn old man. I may not be able to talk any sense into you, but you can forget about naming that


    kid as your heir.”


    Preston decided to dy it if he could not persuade Harold otherwise. After all, with Joseph no longer around, the boy was an easy fix.


    Harold noticed something, so he smacked the table. "What the hell did you do to Jasper?!"


    "Greatpapi, I''m fine."


    Jasper overheard the sounds of an.

    Chloe came in with him. She shot


    Preston and Jonathan a re before


    then asked Harold nervously, ?


    "Grandpa, are you okay?" Shey


    wondered if they had bullied him.


    Harold quickly tossed away his


    cigar. He put on a weak front ands


    said, m fine. I''m just d Jasper is


    safe.” _ ~S

    Preston''s eyes widened in shock at Harold''s swift change.


    Jonathan rified, "We weren''t bullying Grandpa. We were just having a discussion.”


    "If it''s just a discussion, why does he look so frightened?”


    Preston and Jonathan were struck speechless. Harold was not scared, so why was he showing fear now?


    "Jasper, why are you home sote?" Harold asked


    The little boy looked toward Preston and received a threatening look from thetter.


    "Maybe his sses went on longer than usual," Jonathan gave a made-up excuse.


    "Really now? It''s okay, Jasper. You can tell me."
