Chapter 162


    "Greg Buckley!"


    Angered to the point of not caring about anything anymore, Jonathan shouted Greg''s full name, only to


    be pped by Victoria right after.


    "What is wrong with you?! How could you talk to your own uncle like that? Is his full name something


    you can just shout out? Apologize to him right now!"


    Victoria felt her chest pain upon hitting her son. He''s not so short-fused usually, so why is he so easily


    agitated today?


    ncing at Abigail, Victoria suddenly became a bit angry. It''s all because of this woman!


    A hint of hate shed across her eyes, but she quickly hid it. The p by Victoria left Jonathan feeling a


    bit helpless.


    "Mom, it was him who started it first."


    "Nonsense! If it weren''t for your uncle helping to prop the family up, do you think that we can afford to


    live like this now? Have you forgotten all my teachings? Were all your etiquettes thrown away?"


    Victoria, who always knew that she wasn''t a true princess from the Buckley Family, always felt a bit


    inferior even though Valerie treated her very well. Thinking that she wasn''t Valerie''s real daughter,


    Victoria knew that some things were not set in stone. That was why she ced such importance on


    family heritage and influence, hoping that her son would some day marry a true rich girl from a


    prominent family, not someone from a second-rate family like Emma and Abigail.


    Jonathan, who was challenging Greg right in front of her, was just seeking his own demise. Victoria


    would never allow a woman to disrupt her current living standards. Other people might not know what


    Greg was capable of, but she herself knew it very well, seeing how it was her that raised this wolf cub


    all by herself. So, how could she not know?


    Handling Jonathan now personally would be better than Greg making a move, since Victoria could still


    hold back. But if it were Greg, it would not seem that he would care about whether he lived or not.

    Facing his mother''s anger, no matter how wronged Jonathan felt, he had to calm himself down


    irregardless. Now was still not the time to fall out with Greg. The Fraser Family was not entirely in the


    clear yet, so if Greg did something behind the scenes, they would really suffer a huge loss.


    Thinking this, he regained his senses as he looked at Greg. Even though Jonathan was grinding his


    teeth out of hatred, he still said in a low voice, "I''m sorry, Uncle Greg."


    "What did you say? My ears are not too sensitive nowadays, so I might not hear you if you talk too


    softly."


    Going to far as to pick his ear, Greg pretended as if he really could not hear Jonathan''s words.


    Looking at his actions made Abigail want tough. He really won''t stop until he''s made the other party


    die of anger.


    Jonathan, who was so angry that his face was turning green, still needed to hold it in and he said loudly


    to Greg, "I''m sorry, Uncle Greg. Please don''t stoop to my level."


    "But what if I want to? I mean, you know that I''ve been spoiled by Victoria since young, and that I


    cannot stand being angered. Isn''t that right, Sis?"


    Smiling, Greg looked toward Victoria.


    Victoria was getting a bit frustrated now. Seeing how her son had already done what Greg asked, not


    only did thetter end it there, he even went more overboard, nearly making her lose her temper as


    well. But, it was because she knew Greg so well that she did not answer him. Instead, Victoria looked


    at Abigail and smiled. "Miss Kain, how do you think this matter should be settled?"


    Her sudden question stunned Abigail. Isn''t she just delegating the problem to me?


    Knowing full well of Greg''s rtionship with her, Victoria still wanted her to persuade him. But, it was


    too bad that Victoria had miscalcted this step. Why should Abigail speak up for Jonathan? Why


    should she disturb their peaceful rtionship and attract the ire of her boyfriend just to stand up for


    Jonathan?


    So, smiling politely, Abigail said clearly, "Does this have anything to do with me?"


    Her question made Victoria look extremely grim. If looks could kill, then Abigail would feel that she


    would have been whipped to death by Victoria right now. However, she couldn''t care less.


    Since she wasn''t going to be Victoria''s daughter-inw anyway, Abigail also did not n on maintaining


    a close rtionship with Victoria even after she and Greg married. After all, Victoria looked down on


    her a lot, so why would Abigail suffer and go please her?


    Since she did not want herself to feel wronged anymore, Abigail felt that she did not have to put herself


    down like this.


    Not surprised at Abigail''s answer, Greg instead smiled and countered, "Victoria, I haven''t even married


    Abbie yet, and you''re already thinking of using her to control me?"


    "Can she even control you? If she can''t, then I think that Miss Kain is not suited to be your partner."


    Victoria finally voiced out her inner thoughts. But, with Greg being Greg, he onlyughed openly.


    "Why must she be able to control me to suit me? I think that understanding each other is the most


    basic thing of any marriage. Or is it that you always maintained your marriage by controlling my


    brother-inw? No wonder he would have an affair."


    "Greg Buckley!" Victoria was instantly livid.


    Her biggest shame in her life was her unhappy marriage. The man was someone she chose herself,


    even shamelessly begging Valerie to help him rise to the top of the society. After making a name for


    himself, however, the man had an affair and news spread across high society like wildfire, angering


    Valerie to the point of nearly killing him.


    It was because of this that Jonathan was so afraid of Victoria, and he always stayed well away from


    her. This was the biggest scar of hers, so what would be left of her pride now that Greg had so tantly


    exposed it?


    Not caring much of her anger, Greg continued nonchntly, "Why are you so mad, Victoria? I actually


    came here today to talk about happy things. If you and Jonathan are so angry, where do you expect me


    to start?"


    Suppressing her anger forcefully, Victoria took a deep breath to make herself calm down.


    "What is it?"


    At this moment, Victoria did not want to invite Greg in anymore.


    Looking as calm as ever, Greg only said, "It''s nothing. It''s just that it has been five years since


    Jonathan and Emma got engaged, so isn''t it a bit inappropriate for them to not be married yet?"


    "Are you seriously going to interfere in my marriage?" Jonathan''s veins were popping and he was


    clearly on the verge of blowing a gasket.


    Not even looking at him, Greg only continued, "I know that you look down upon the Kains''ck of


    influence, Victoria. Since you don''t like it, then you shouldn''t waste the girl''s youth any longer. She''s not


    that young, you know? If you just canceled the engagement now and abandoned her, what would that


    look like? I''ve already told Mom that you are not a person that does not repay her dues, moreso not a


    woman that would bully others. Victoria, I do think it''s time for you to start preparing for the wedding


    now."


    Even though Greg said all this respectfully, it still sounded very harsh to Victoria''s ears. He was


    obviously forcing this marriage onto her son, forcing the Frasers to ept Emma into their household.


    But aren''t Emma and Abigail on bad terms?


    Greg would never have cared about Emma unless it was a plea from Abigail. What is Abigail thinking?


    Victoria couldn''t grasp the woman''s true thoughts.


    No matter what Abigail nned, Victoria felt quite unsettled that such a woman she looked down upon


    was using Greg''s influence to force her to agree to her son and Emma''s marriage. Seems like Abigail


    cannot be left alone any further.


    Still wanting to resist, Jonathan was instead grabbed onto by his mother.


    "I understand. I''ll make the necessary preparations and let Jonathan marry Emma. But Greg, isn''t it


    time to withdraw your target against my family? I won''t interfere, nor do I care about you and


    Jonathan''s squabble. It''s just that the outsiders might not see it that way and would think that both our


    families have fallen out. If news of this got out, Mom will get worried," said Victoria skillfully.


    Simply smiling, Greg replied, "What do you mean ''target''? I was just giving a lesson to my nephew but


    since you want me to stop, I''llply with your wishes. Alright now, it isn''t getting any earlier, so Abbie


    and I will make a move first. There''s no need to see me off; I know where the entrance is."


    Saying this, Greg then got into the car with Abigail before leaving the mother-son duo in the dust.


    Seeing how dark their expressions were made Abigail feel very good inside for some inexplicable


    reason. After driving out of thepound, Greg smiled while saying, "What''s up? You seem happy."


    "I''m alright, I guess. But do you really think that your sister will listen to your arrangements to let Emma


    and Jonathan marry?"


    Abigail was still a bit unsure. After all, Victoria did not seem such a person who would lie down while


    taking in such a fact.


    Instead, Greg just replied, "She has no other choice. Don''t let her strong appearance fool you—she


    fears losing power the most. This is why she did not divorce even when she knew that her husband


    was having an affair outside."


    While on the topic, Greg could not help but shake his head.


    Looking at him, Abigail pondered for a while before asking, "I heard that you were raised by Victoria, so


    you two should be quite close. Why does it seem like you treat her differently than what the rumors


    suggest?"


    Stiffening up, Greg retracted his smile. "And what do the rumors suggest?"


    After thinking for a while, Abigail said, "Apparently you two are like mother and son, and that because


    she had raised you up, you respected her very much with you even protecting and helping the Frasers.


    Some even say that you might not listen to Old Madam Buckley''s words, but you will listen to


    Victoria''s."


    Gregughed out loud, and it had a hint of mockery to it.


    "And this is why they say rumors kill. If you have any questions between us, juste and ask me.


    Don''t listen to all that nonsense, alright?"


    Stunned, Abigail then nodded. "Does that mean that there''s something hidden behind all this?"


    Her curiosity was piqued. Although she knew that this was a bit of a sudden question, Abigail still asked


    it. Yet, she did not think that Greg would actually fall silent, seeming like he did not want to dwell on the


    topic.
