    Lionel said, “I’m not here to lecture you. I’m asking you to make a choice.”


    “What? I’m an adult. I don’t need to choose between my dad or my mom.” Lancelot misunderstood


    Lionel’s intentions.

    Lionel spoke. “I’m asking you to choose between your father’s assets and the right to inheriting your


    mother’s possessions. If you decide to back your father in letting him keep ten percent of his wealth,


    you’ll lose any rights to everything your mother possesses. But if you choose to support your mother


    and leave your father penniless, everything your mother acquires, including a portion of the Quirk


    family’s assets, will be yours. Your call.”


    Splendid job, Grandpa! Let’s see who this ungrateful brat will choose. If he made the wrong


    decision, he’ll have to suffer the consequences. Isabe smirked.


    Lancelot, Niel, and Yasmine’s expressions changed when they heard that.


    Isabe frowned. I understand why Niel panicked. After all, that concerns his son’s interests. But


    why does that mistress look anxious, too? She actually thinks of Lancelot as her son? Wait a


    minute. Oh, I get it now. You thought that it’d be fine even if Niel lost everything because Lancelot


    could fill in the gap. But if Lancelot also ends up with nothing, then both father and son will be at the


    Zimmer family’s mercy. It seems you’re not as innocent as you appear. Your analysis of pros and


    cons is quite swift.


    Upon processing Lionel’s meaning, Lancelot was furious and embarrassed, thinking his grandfather


    was belittling him, assuming that his decisions could be swayed by mere wealth. I’m not that kind of


    person!


    He said, his eyes reddened, “Granddad, I’ve always thought of you as a just and strict elder. How


    could you force me to make such a choice? They are my parents, and I don’t want to hurt either of


    them! My father has already promised topensate my mother. Isn’t that enough? Must ite to


    this? Must you force me to side with my mother? This is simply too much!”


    Niel eximed, “Dad, it’s all my fault. You don’t have to do this to Lance! You’re forcing him to


    choose between me and Greta. That’s too cruel for a child.”


    Lionel said coldly, “He’s not a child anymore. He’s an adult. An adult should be able to discern right


    from wrong and have the right to make decisions.”


    Lancelot stubbornly said, “I do know right from wrong. I think that although Dad made a mistake, I


    don’t think it’s as grave as it’s made out to be. That woman saved my father, and he wants to be


    with her. Is that so abhorrent? Is it better for my parents to stay together without love for each


    other?”


    Lionel’s expression turned colder by the minute as he stared at Lancelot. “I won’t deny that from


    your perspective, your words might hold some truth. But in our family, we have one principle–we


    protect our own unconditionally. Family should always stand by each other. Remember this, boy.


    You can be part of the Quirk family, or you can choose not to be! We just recently kicked out one of


    our own, so we won’t hesitate to kick you out, too. If you dare disrespect your mother, you needn’t


    consider us family either!”


    “Lionel!” Marley, who had kept quiet, grew anxious. She cherished each and every one of the


    youngsters.


    Lionel waved his hand, gesturing for Marley to stay out of this. “Your mother is the only victim in this


    case. As the Zimmer family’s daughter–inw and your mother, she has never done anything


    wrong. You can’t bully her just because she didn’t meet your expectations. As long as I’m still alive, I


    won’t allow my children to be pushed around.”

    “Dad…” Tears began to well up in Greta’s eyes.


    The old man fixed his gaze on Niel and Lancelot, who wore grim expressions. “If you can’t


    empathize with the injustice my daughter has suffered, why should I care about your feelings? I’ll


    make things clear right now; my daughter has the final say regarding the divorce. The Zimmer


    family is free to cross swords with


    us.”


    Niel’s face turnedpletely pale.


    Originally, Greta considered showing some mercy. However, with her father backing her up, and


    her family standing as her support, she thought she shouldn’t force herself to give in. Call me


    heartless, but the only way I can vent my pent–up resentment is to make Niel’s life miserable.


    “As for you!” Lionel turned his gaze toward Lancelot, whose face was ashen as well. “I’m giving you


    a choice now. Are you going to fight for your father?”
