The old man looked at his most proud grandson and revealed a gratified smile. Seeing that Edwards Wayne's eyes had turned red, he immediately raised his hand. “Men should never cry.”
Edwards Wayne instantly held back his tears. He cried because he felt sorry for himself, but his grandfather's words caused him to become stubborn all of a sudden.
"We don't have time to reminisce about the old days. Everyone is very busy. Hurry up and do what you have to do. No matter how much you grandfather and grandson want to feel touched, I won't interfere!" John Wayne stood at the side, and hated the old man to the extreme in his heart. He hated the way the old man looked at Edwards Wayne, with a gaze filled with admiration and love, but why the old man looked at him indifferently? Was he a son that he had picked up?
Pick up? John Wayne's mind started to buzz, why was it only now that he realised he was retrieved by the old man? Was he not his own son?
John Wayne suddenly wanted to take a look at his own face and see how much he looked similar to the old man.
The thought was funny, but John Wayne suddenly doubted their relationship.
"Grandfather, are you alright?" Edwards Wayne asked hoarsely.
“Edwards, you shouldn't have come. He has already lost his humanity, even if you were to transfer the shares of the company to him, he would not let you off.” The old man suddenly spoke out, but what he said made John Wayne's scalp go numb, and he suddenly turned around with a sinister expression.
"Shut up!" John Wayne roared.
Edwards Wayne knew that his grandfather was worried about him, but he was even more worried about his grandfather's safety.
"John, can you now tell me how you caused your brother's death?" Seeing John Wayne's excited expression, the old man added another stab to John Wayne's angry face.
Everyone present was shocked, except for the two foreign men who looked as if they didn't understand what was going on.
"You … What nonsense are you spouting? " John Wayne pointed at the old man's face, his fingers and voice trembling.
"Edwards, I told you that you must investigate the cause of your father's death. Did you seriously investigate it?" The old man looked warmly at his grandson.
"I... I did! " Edwards Wayne's voice was tight as well, as he glared hatefully at the pale—faced John Wayne.
"Then why didn't you tell me? You must have evidence in your hands! " The old man's tone was full of reproach and a sigh.
"Grandfather, I …" Edwards Wayne's voice was inexplicably dry, and he did not know how to explain it, because right now, his heart was also in a mess. He had always been afraid of his grandparents' knowing, but now, hearing the meaning behind his grandfather's words, did his grandfather know anything?
John Wayne covered his head, as though he was suffering from a headache. With both of his eyes, he stared at the old man: "What do you know? How could you possibly know? "
“If you want people to not know, then don't do it. You think that hiding things from the world is impossible, but you forgot, I'm your father, and everything you do or say cannot escape my eyes. The reason I let you stay in prison for five years is also to make you regret your actions.” The old man stared at John Wayne intently; his words were extremely sharp, like the blade cut into John Wayne's heart, causing him to be drenched in blood.
"So that's how it is. You want me to go to jail, it's not because I drugged his wine? You are trying to avenge my big brother, you are actually plotting against me, you are actually plotting against me! " John Wayne finally realised that he was like a clown who became a huge joke in his father's eyes. However, he still thought that he had fooled everyone because he thought that he was too smart.
"John, with things as it is, are you still not going to reflect? Everything in the Wayne Family belongs to the Edwards brothers. Since you owe their father your life, you no longer have the qualifications to compete with them for anything. " The old man mocked him.
"Why am I not qualified? big brother deserve to die! He's been like a philanthropist, helping me with this and helping me with that every day, but he's never given me any more. Even if I had more to fill my vanity, I wouldn't have wanted to take his life, he's just too stingy! You parents are too biased, even though I'm smarter than him, but you just don't love me! " John Wayne seemed to have gone mad, his state was berserk, no one knew if it was tears of regret or anger in his eyes, he looked like a madman, but also like a fool.
