    Chapter 368 Argument


    Nichs ignored him and went into the residence.


    Remus was waiting in the resplendent living room. His butler told him that Nichs had returned, and


    when his grandson came in, he picked his teacup up and sipped from it. “You’re back,” he said


    majestically.


    “What’s with the engagement?” Nichs stood in the living room, looking at his grandfather coldly, and


    tension rose in the air.


    Remus paused, and he looked at Nichs in displeasure. “Are you questioning me?”


    “If you want to think like that, then yes.” Nichs didn’t deny it. He said calmly, “There are some lines


    you should never cross.”


    “Are you telling me what to do?” Remus’ face fell and he mmed his cup down. He insisted, “You’re


    going to get engaged whether you like it or not.”


    “I won’t do it.” Nichs was even more stubborn. “If you want to go on with it, then do it. But there won’t


    be a groom during the engagement banquet.”


    “Are you threatening me?” Remus flew into a rage. “I know what you’re thinking. You don’t want to get


    engaged because you want that Reinhart woman to be your girlfriend, don’t you?”


    “As long as she’s not someone you want me to marry.” Nichs didn’t give him a straight answer, but


    refusal was written all over his face.


    Remus was livid that Nichs was going against him time and again. “That wench must have deceived


    you. I will never allow you to marry that woman! Thedy of the family muste from an equally


    powerful family!”


    Nichs looked angry as well, and his patience ran out. He simplyid all his cards on the table and


    shot back, “Gregory is Tessa’s son. Why can’t she be my wife?”


    At once, Remus’ face fell. “So you knew.”


    “You weren’t being discreet. If I couldn’t even find that out, I would have failed your teachings,”


    Nichs mocked.


    Remus snorted. “So what if she’s Gregory’s mother? She abandoned him for money. That’s proof that


    she’s a gold digger. I will never allow someone like that to be a part of us.”


    While they were arguing in the living room, someone appeared on the porch, but they didn’t see her.


    Hayley was petrified. She never expected Gregory to be Tessa’s son. So that’s why he likes her so


    much? There’s no way I can make Gregory like me now that he’s met his own mother. Not like she’ll let


    me either. With this thought in mind, Hayley left immediately.


    Nichs and Remus were still arguing, and the tension would snap at any given moment. “Do you


    want me to have a heart attack, Nichs? Everyone knows you should get a wise woman as a wife.


    What kind of help can someone like Tessa give you?”


    “I don’t think the family has declined so much that it needs to sacrifice my marriage to sustain it,”


    Nichs retorted.


    Remus felt a stab of paining from his chest from all the fury he was feeling.


    The butler quickly called Tobias and his wife, telling them toe over as soon as possible. Then, he


    went back to Remus and patted his back. At the same time, he persuaded, “Master Nichs, this is for


    your own good. Miss Stone is wise, smart, and cultured. There’s no better woman out there who can


    help you. Just go with it, alright?”


    “Only a useless man needs his own wife to help him.” Nichs looked at the butler coldly, the mockery


    thick in his voice.


    Remusughed mirthlessly, and he looked at Nichs. “That’s arrogance.”


    The air around Nichs seemed to turn cold, and he chuckled. “I could say the same to you, Grandpa.”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
