Everyone at the scene was stunned at what the old Master Shaw said, especially Sabrina and Gloria, who both gaped at him.
Gloria recovered after a split second and scoffed." What are playing at, old bast*rd? Just say it if you want us dead! I'm going to bite you to death and return every last drop of blood in me that originated from you, right back to you!"
"Gloria, how dare you??" Jennie gritted out. "How dare you speak to my uncle-in-law like that? The old man i s your biological father, what you are doing is immoral! H
Jennie had already noticed that something was wrong after hearing what the old Master Shaw said. 'What did he mean by that? Is he planning to forgive Gloria? No! I have to push these two further into conflict and hatred towards one another!' she thought.
"Uncle-in-law, you are too kind, but she won’t understand it. Don't get too mad. Don't worry, even if your own daughter doesn't want you, you still have m e, right? I will take care of you for the rest of your life, Uncle-in-law," she said sincerely and longingly, staring at the old Master Shaw, doe-eyed.
However, the only emotions she noticed from the old Master Shaw's eyes were contempt and determination.
"Sean," the old Master Shaw called out to Sean.
"Uncle Shaw," Sean immediately responded deferentially, "this family gathering is meant to resolve all these things, do say whatever you have to say. I will bring justice to this."
The old Master Shaw nodded. "Good." He paused for a moment and deadpanned, "I want to take this opportunity to resolve some of my family affairs here, i s that okay?" 1
Sean was obviously happy to comply. That was precisely why he invited the old Master Shaw over, after all. "Of course, Uncle Shaw! You are more than welcome to handle anything you want. Everyone is here, Rose, Jennie and I will help you out."
