Hannah Elliot tilted her head and looked at Griffin Cooper who was standing aside and remaining silent. She asked calmly, "Are you going to save our son or not?"
Griffin was her last hope. If even Griffin could not save her son, she would be completely defeated in this white war.
Yes! He would!
Of course, he would save his son!
In Griffin's heart, he really wanted to save Dominic Cooper, but it was not up to him to decide what to do here. It would all depend on Nathaniel Cooper.
Under Hannah's gaze, Griffin quietly looked at Nathaniel and said, "Nathaniel, you have heard it. Dominic is your biological brother. He is young, so he was not mature enough to think things through before doing them. As his elder brother, just don't take it so seriously."
Griffin was also there when Hannah confessed that she was the one who had murdered Nathaniel's mother, but he didn't mention a word about it at all. What's more, Griffin even had the audacity to ask Nathaniel to forgive Dominic just because he was his younger brother.
"My younger brother? I am my mother's only child. I have no impression of her giving birth to a younger brother for me at all." Nathaniel smiled slightly and gave Griffin a reply. Perhaps, it could be said that his words were like a hard slap on Griffin's face.
In the past, Nathaniel would always encounter such unfair incidents at home, but his mother had always told him that his father was particularly strict on him because he had the highest expectations for him.
He was young so he wasn't able to see Griffin's true nature. He thought that his father had really loved him.
Finally, Nathaniel had a clear look at Griffin's character.
His mother was Griffin's wife, but Griffin had never loved nor cared about her as his wife. He had only regarded her as a stepping stone for him to climb to the highest levels of politics.
"Nathaniel..." Griffin was embarrassed, trying to use a cough to cover up the embarrassment in his heart. "Just think about it again. We are a family after all. As the saying goes, birds of a different feather don't flock together..."
"Think about it again? Griffin Cooper, how dare you say that." Nathaniel interrupted him harshly and even called him by his full name.
Nathaniel never intended to argue with this group of people, but Griffin's behavior had really made him sick and he couldn't stand it anymore. "Your wife, my mother was killed by Hannah. You heard everything but you didn't even flinch, and now you want me to let go of your illegitimate child. Do you really think that I'm that stupid?"
After listening to Nathaniel's words, not only Griffin did not repent, he continued with even more shameful words, "Your mother has passed away and she can't be brought back to life anymore, on the other hand, your brother is still alive... There can't be any more killing among the Cooper family. Moreover, Hannah is a kind-hearted woman. She didn't mean to harm your mother. It happened only because she was afraid."
"Oh... Is that so? Then I will let you have a good look at how I, who is such a kind-hearted person, will accidentally kill Dominic." Nathaniel sneered.
Griffin's words had completely cut off the very last trace of the father- son relationship between him and Nathaniel. Nathaniel no longer wanted to look at him so he lifted his long legs and turned around to leave.
"He is leaving already, are you not going to chase after him?" Seeing that Nathaniel had left, Griffin was not in a hurry at all, but Hannah was extremely anxious.
"He had already made it so clear. What else do you want me to do?" It wasn't that Griffin didn't want to save his son, but he knew it very well that there was nothing else that he could do after witnessing Nathaniel's attitude just now.
In the past, when Nathaniel was a teenager, he had thought of training him to be his successor. However, that kid was not ambitious and didn't know how to act according to his cue. After seeing that Nathaniel had no potential of becoming his successor, hethen gave up on him.
