Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1389

"After all, Mrs. Ford's mother has been bothering my granduncle since she was a child, and even managed t o obtain the family name of my granduncle. Not even my mother and I have the honor of obtaining the Shaw name despite being so close to my granduncle. But...a woman like that, how could she..." Lori stopped half-way. Her expression and words remained understanding and innocent, as though she only happened to be dragged into this. She shrugged and looked at the old Master Shaw, doe-eyed. "I think we should let my granduncle decide."

"Granduncle?" she called out and the old Master Shaw lifted his gaze and looked at her. She immediately continued, "Don't be scared, Granduncle. Mom and I will take care of you today, you will be fine. Besides, even conflicts that occurred decades ago in the past need to be resolved eventually. Let's take the opportunity today at Uncle Sean's family gathering and resolve everything. I know that some people might get frustrated and become violent after being exposed, so don't worry, Granduncle, Mom and I will protect you. With the two of us here, we won't let anyone try to take advantage of my granduncle!"

Lori's tone became more and more righteous as she went on, and her words were pointing directly at Sabrina and Gloria. She looked over at Sabrina, who remained calm, and Gloria, who seemed extremely

anxious. However, as soon as she was done, Marcus slammed his fists on the table and stood up.

"Lori Gibson! Don't you dare accuse them of what they didn't do! I'm telling you, you and your mother are to get out of my house once this gathering is over! We do not welcome you!"

"Cousin Marcus..." Tears immediately started welling u p her eyes.

"I'm not your cousin!"

Lori felt even more aggrieved. "Even Master Sebastian accepted me and was willing to sign a contract with m e, Cousin Marcus, and yet you continue to misunderstand me? I... I didn't even tell Master Sebastian about the photo my mom took from yesterday when Sabrina was caught in the middle of two men fighting, simply because I was afraid that it would affect their relationship. What else do you expect me to do, Cousin Marcus? Don't you see what's happening to you? I think Granduncle is right, you have fallen under Sabrina's spells as well, you just don't know it. You are in deep, Cousin Marcus!"

Marcus was so enraged that he pointed at Lori, unable to speak for a while. Later on, he shouted with paled lips, "What...just what have we done wrong? Why would we allow people who are not related to us to tear us apart over and over again? Why?? Tell me why, Grandpa! Our kin, our family, and yet someone else has to come along and break us apart. Is that right, Grandpa? First it's Jennie, Mindy, then Selene and

now that things with Selene are finally settled, now Jennie and Lori want to start it all over again? Grandpa! Tell me, will all these end with the Shaw Family broken down into nothing by these people some day?"

"Granduncle, look at him..." Lori cried.

Finally, the old Master Shaw lifted his gaze and said i n an exhausted and hoarse voice, "Very well, I...will have a word."

He looked at Gloria and she sneered. "I'm listening, old bast*rd!"

"I have lived a long life, and now, all I want to do is to d o something nice for my daughter Gloria and my granddaughter Sabbie!" he drawled with a tired voice.
