Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1391

"Grandpa..." Marcus muttered. Lori was instantly silenced.

Sabrina and her mother gave one another a confused look, unsure as to what the old man was planning on doing this time.

Jennie blurted out. "Uncle, what did you just say? You..."

"I said that my Gloria hasn't been willing to acknowledge or to refer to me as her father! It's been over a month and she finally came to the Shaw Family's door and you told her off!"

Jennie felt as though her heart had sunk into a freezing lake, but she still couldn't bring herself to believe it. After all, decades had passed since they were young, but the old Master Shaw had always favored her, his nephew-in-law, instead of his actual daughter. But what was going on with him now? 1

"Not only did you chase my Gloria out of my door, you even went to where she is taking dancing lessons to cause all sorts of troubles? Jennie Gibson, you call that repaying your debt to the Shaw Family?"

"Un-uncle, wh-what are you talking about?" Jennie asked gingerly. "Aren't you...the one who hated Gloria, to the point that you were so enraged that you couldn't stop coughing after seeing her? Seeing how enraged

you were, I...wanted to make her pay for what she did t o you. I couldn't help myself and went to look for her, I..."

At that very moment, Jennie's heart sank deep into a pit. She had an extremely bad feeling about this situation, she felt like she had fallen into a trap.

Marcus sneered right after hearing what she had to say. "Aunt Jennie, when exactly has my grandfather ever said anything about being irritated by my aunt?"

Jennie kept quiet. Indeed, the old Master Shaw didn't actually say it.

"Grandpa was coughing until his face was all red and was unable to say a word because of it. When you helped push his wheelchair into the house, he refused to see anyone, or to eat or drink anything. It was not because he was enraged by my real aunt, but by you!"

"Marcus...my dear nephew..."

"I am not your nephew! Even if I am, I'm just your cousin's nephew. If we go down the family tree, you are not as close to the bloodline as my real aunt!"

Frightened, Jennie paled. Lori, who was next to her, was silently panicking without a clue. To be frank, the two of them had only been able to stir up conflict between the Straws and the Fords in the enormous city of South City simply because they had the old Master Shaw's power to back them up. If the old Master Shaw refused to support them and the Shaw Family refused to let them stay in their house, the two would live lives no better than the beggars on the streets. Lori was particularly scared of being chased out by Marcus, however, Marcus managed to speak of precisely what she was most reluctant to hear.

"The Straws have provided for you and supported your life overseas so that you can live like princesses, and w e simply end up with two ungrateful people? The first thing you did when you came back was to hurt my aunt! You have harmed my grandpa's daughter! You have eaten from the Shaw's plates, drank from our cups and lived in our home, yet you have harmed one o f us. Jennie and Lori Gibson! Today, us Shaws are going to make you pay for everything the two of you have done! There's a saying that says an eye for an eye, and a life for a life! You might not owe us a life, but there's still the debt of you biting the hands that fed you!"

Marcus had hated the two for a long time now, and with his grandfather finally saying it out loud, it was only natural for him to vent every last strand of anger i n his heart.

Jennie looked at the old Master Shaw in tears. "Uncle, Marcus has misunderstood me, Gloria is really-"

The old Master Shaw stomped his cane abruptly on the ground. "I might be old but I'm not blind or deaf!" H e looked over at Gloria. "Gloria, let Daddy speak for you this one time, is that okay?"
