Chapter 1736


    Hearing Remington''s question, Angelina instinctively tensed up, about to speak, but ric cut in first.


    "Grandpa, this was all Mom''s doing. She framed Hertha."


    ric then spilled everything to Remington and Beatrice about how three years ago, Angelina offered Hertha two million dors to leave him, and falsely imed that it was Hertha who approached her demanding the money.


    Remington was so furious he started coughing violently, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Angelina, "You, you... How could you sabotage your own son''s happiness? What on earth are you trying to achieve?"


    Angelina became anxious, her face a mask of distress as she pleaded with Remington, "Dad, I was only thinking of what''s best for ric. He''s brought home so many women before, and none of those rtionshipssted. I didn''t believe he could find a good match on his own. And Hertha, with her background, she couldn''t possibly offer ric anything of substance. ric marrying Georgia would be the best match."


    Angelina remained stubborn in her conviction.


    "You... How can you not see the error of your ways?" Remington was deeply hurt and sighed, "You''ve spent the better part of your life helping ric''s dad manage the Falconer Group. Now that the Falconer Group is on the right track, ranking among the top ten internationally, I know you''ve poured your heart and soul into it and don''t want to see it taken over by outsiders. But ric''s cousin, Jeremiah, he''s not an outsider."


    "Dad, that''s not what I meant. I just wanted ric to be morepetitive, not to be weakened or led astray by women from outside our circle," Angelina said on the surface, but inside, she was storming.


    She knew deep down that Remington had already decided to pass the Falconer Group onto Jeremiah, ric''s cousin, excluding ricpletely!


    In Remington''s heart, Jeremiah was family, but to Angelina, there was only one heir, and that was ric!


    She had only one son. If ric couldn''t step up, then all that she and her husband had fought for would be handed over to someone else!


    How could she ept that?


    "Hertha is not the person you think she is," ric still objected to Angelina''s badmouthing Hertha, his expression serious.


    "Will you shut up!" Angelina scolded ric, frustrated with his apparentck of ambition.


    "Enough, he''s already thirty years


    old. If you keep scolding him like a child, now can he grow up? How can he stand on his own two feet?" Remington angrily told Angelina.


    Angelina red at ric, furious but speechless.


    "ric, you mentioned getting your family register, are you nning to marry Hertha?" Remington then turned to ask ric again.


    "Yes, Grandpa, Hertha, her parents,


    and I


    return ve agreed that as soon as y replied to his grand ric


    we can get married," ricN?velDrama.Org ? content.


    "Alright, today your grandfather will decide for you. You should choose your own marriage," Remington stated gravely.


    ric was overjoyed, "Really, thank you, Grandpa!"


    "Mhm." Remington nodded, his aged gaze sternly shifting to Angelina, "Give him the family register."


    "Dad, why are you letting him make a mess of things?" Angelina panicked, unwilling to hand over the family register.


    "Give it to him! If you truly want him to grow, you need to learn to let go!" Remington''s authoritative tone brooked no argument.


    This was amand from an elder to a younger member of the family.


    Although Angelina had held a


    powerful position at the Falconer Group, her role too had been granted by Remington. Even though


    Remington was now retired, his


    word was stillw within the


    Falconer Group and even more so at home, where he was the family''s most formidable figure.


    With Remington adopting such a firm stance, Angelina, of course, dared not disobey.
