Then, he boldly confronted Halston.
“Do you see yourself as a gentleman? If you were, why did you cheat on your wife and abandon your family? If you were, why did you persuade an ignorant girl to betray the man she relied on to defeat me? “Halston, you’re the mighty Master Guajardo and the president of Guajardo Enterprise.
You’re glorious and oh-so amazing.
You look down on everyone.
And yet, you’ve done a lot of nasty and vulgar things.
You have no right to criticize me for being petty!” Despite Quinton’s words, Halston remained calm.
“Yes, you’re right,” he said icily.
“You hold a grudge against me, so just come at me.
Don’t put anyone innocent in danger.
I’ve never seen myself as a gentleman.
I know I’m utterly despicable.
Still, that doesn’t make you innocent and righteous.” As he spoke, he grew more agitated.
He clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles and veins bulged.
“You yourself did many terrible things before.
Do you want me to list them all in front of your sister? Plus, you never changed.
You’re just like a demon now, bringing trouble to the people around you — “”Halston!” Flossie interrupted him coldly.
“That’s enough!” She knew the extremities her brother had committed, but she chose to bear it.
He was that way because of the environment he grew up in, and she knew how hard it had been for him.
Hence, Flossie didn’t want to bring up the past.
She simply wanted to help Quinton out of his trauma, slowly and gradually.
She couldn’t accept Halston’s fierce words, let alone Quinton.
She feared Halston’s words might stimulate Quinton until he attempted something even crazier.
“What’s the matter? Are you afraid?” Halston snarled.
He stared at Flossie; he could always notice her most sensitive emotions.
“You need to remember one thing,” he reminded her, his tone cruel.
“Although he’s your brother, he’s a twisted man.
If you keep on indulging in him, he’ll pull you into an abyss! He madem Joanne lose her job and disrupted the peaceful life she had kept for such a long time.
What will he do next?” Halston had always found Quinton unsteady and dangerously explosive.
Next to Flossie, Quinton might blow up at any minute.
He didn’t want Flossie to ignore this, as it would affect her in the long term.
It wasn’t that she should cut Quinton out of her life.
Halston only wished she wouldn’t take Quinton’s side so often and indulge him without any limit.
“Trust me if I speak harshly, or if my grandpa resists he’ll kill some body here the kill somebody today Halston hissed
His eyes were red as he glared at Quinton.
“If I were you, I’d stay away from my sister since I knew that I couldn’t control myself.
I wouldn’t harm her!” he went on.
“That’s enough, Halston!” Flossie pushed Halston away. She could no longer tolerate him.
He had grown harsher and colder than when Flossie first knew him. He even used such words to harm her closest family. He was inconsiderate toward her feelings, and it broke her heart.
Speechless, Quinton stood where he was in a trance. He wasn’t as fierce as he had been before. Instead, he seemed sullen and thoughtful.
“Let’s go, Quinton.” Flossie felt she could no longer stay there, and grabbed Quinton’s hand to leave with him.
“Okay,” Quinton answered softly. He acted like a mental patient who had suddenly regained his wits. His obedience gave rise to sympathy from others.
“Grandpa, we’re leaving. Quinton was rude today because he was worried about me. I hope you won’t take it to heart. We’ll visit you another day,” Flossie said, bowing deeply to Timothy to express her apology.
Nevertheless, Quinton was her family. She would never distance him or cut him off. Hence, she would bear the consequences and criticisms on his behalf.
“Don’t be a stranger, Flossie,” Timothy said.
He wasn’t angry at all and looked at Quinton in agitation, his eyes teary.
Sighing, he said, “Yes, you look just like Maurice. Your countenance and character resemble him. You’re bold and straightforward..
After praising Quinton, Timothy glared at Halston and spat disdainfully, “Unline a certain someone. He’s awful and is always disappointing. He drives me mad all the time!”
“My head hurts. I’m going back to sleep. Halston turned away coldly, and went upstairs.
“Look at him! What rudeness!” Timothy pointed at Halston’s back, raising the ruler angrily. “I should’ve beat him up harder and ruined his hand! He wouldn’t be this stubborn otherwise.”
“Stop that, Grandpa. If you ruin his hand, I’ll feel very guilty,” Flossie said.
She was worried Timothy might punish Halston physically again later, so she tried her best to dissuade him.
“Violence can’t solve anything. He’s your grandson. You shouldn’t hit him that way. You need to keep the Guajardo family line. If anything goes wrong, you’ll regret it and it’ll be too late.”
“I won’t be worried about it. I’ve got Adie and Abby. I can’t discipline that bastard. I’ll let him fend for himself,” Timothy said angrily.
He sounded cruel, as if he couldn’t care less about his grandson who had truly let him down.
“Old man, stop flattering yourself. Adie and Abby belong to the Ellsworths. They have nothing to do with your family,’ Quinton said to Timothy seriously. “Plus, you need to know the kids take the Ellsworth surname. Your grandson merely provided the sperms. We can ignore that.”
“Uh…”
At his age, Timothy was a man held in high esteem. No one had ever been that rude toward him.
If it were someone else, Timothy would have long gotten angry. Knowing that Quinton was the grandson of his old comrade, however, he grew to like Quinton. He couldn’t be angry at Quinton at all. On the contrary, he tried to reflect on himself humbly.
