Even Sylvester sounded a little hurried now.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I found a clue from his expression. This was Ss'' weakness, just as I had guessed from the start.


    Smiling, I nced at the old man. "Did I touch a sore spot?"


    This simple question made them look even gloomier.


    Iughed lightly again before speaking again boldly like a fledgling chick that had not taken to the skies, "You regret that your decision back then ended with a tragedy. That''s why you want your granddaughter back to make amends. Don''t you think it''s ridiculous? "Now that I don''t wish toe back here, you''re going to make me stay using the same methods. What''s the point of doing this? Your heart isn''t even in it. Even if you lock me up, I''ll escape the moment I get the chance. Not only that, it''ll simply add to my resentment toward you and my hatred toward the Yards."


    These words changed Ss'' expressionpletely. He tapped his cane on the ground harshly. "I know about Theo Grant and Delia Owens. You''re helpless now. I''m giving you the support of the Yards. Do you really not want it?"


    "Thank you, Old Master. But I don''t need it. The Yard family has many enemies. I''ll put myself in danger if I were to return."


    "Do you know what you''re saying?" Sylvester was looking at me, his expression a little panicked.


    I turned to him and smiled calmly. "Of course, I do. Weren''t you the one who told me this? That the Yard family has who knows how many enemies and the moment they know I''m of theter generation of the Yards, they''ll definitelye knocking on my door. I''m using this opportunity to cut my ties with the Yard family. It''s equivalent to me saving myself, no?"


    Sylvester was even more anxious when he heard this. He pointed at me with a resentful look. "Why are you so stubborn? Grandfather is asking you toe back to help me manage the Yard family''s affairs, including the family business. It has a lot more prospectspared to the small Green Orange you''re with now."


    "I know you look down on my


    I definitely would not change once I made my decision.


    Sylvester was helpless when he heard my words of certainty. He lowered his hands and sighed as he shook his head. "I''ve truly never seen you so stupid."


    "I''ll ask you again. Will you really note back to the Yard family?"


    Ss, who was not far away, asked me again. His tone was a lot more solemn this time.


    I suppressed the uneasiness I felt inside at his stare and nodded heavily. "I won''te back to ces I have no feelings for."


    Ss'' sharp gaze remained on me, and it sharpened even more when he narrowed his eyes slightly. In the next second, however, he smiled slowly all of a sudden. He even raised his head andughed a few times. This was hard to fathom.


    I frowned as I looked at him, not understanding what was going on in this old man''s mind.


    "What are youughing about?" I could not help asking.


    His old face was lined with wrinkles, especially when heughed. Ss'' expression softened a little after he stoppedughing. "You''re exactly the same as my daughter, so stubborn. Frankly, I might be a little disappointed if you had agreed. But it''s very good that you refused. It proves that you''re not a vain person. Regardless, you''re still a child of the Yard family.
