The six-year-old little girl could be very persistent in arguments for her mother, even Sebastian's heart twitched at her words. Aino had always been fiercer and stronger than other children her age. Her speech was organized and her view on people's true intentions was accurate. Though she was only six, she was living with clarity.
The old Master Shaw was not mad at all when he heard how Aino mocked him. Instead, he smiled at her and said, "You are right, Aino, this old man right here should make things right today."
He took his phone out and made a call, which was answered in no time. "Hey, those four bodyguards, right? Get in here. There are two people that need to b e handled," he commanded carelessly.
"NO!" Jennie started trembling hysterically.
Lori, too, paled in fear. "No...no...Granduncle, you...you have always cared for me. You have sent tens of millions of dollars over to Mom every year that we stay overseas. You cared for us..."
"Yes," the old Master Shaw interrupted her. "I cared for you so much, and yet you turn around and stab me in the heart. You won't even let my own daughter be!"
Jennie immediately apologized to the old Master Shaw. "Uncle, I was wrong, Uncle! Please, don't punish
me and my daughter. Uncle! Do you know how difficult lives have been for us overseas? We were continuously harassed and looked down at with discrimination. My daughter Lori was such a high achiever academically, but she was not taken seriously at school! All those years we spent overseas were years we have struggled through discrimination, Uncle..."
She tried to gain the old Master Shaw's pity by mentioning her hardship. He had always cared for her after all.
"You came back here with the intention of taking what belongs to my daughter and my granddaughter, simply because you have faced unjust treatment overseas?" The old Master Shaw questioned sharply.
