Chapter 220

Weston studied Brian’s unyielding gaze and finally relented. “Tine. Remember your words, Get out of here, patch yourself up, and make yourself. presentable. Tomorrow, you be coming with me to Grant Manor to apologize”

As he spoke, he sighed heavily and thought, At my age, I still have to swallow my pride and beg for my son’s marriage.

The thought reignited his fury. He snatched his cane and struck Brian hard across the back. “This is all your fault, you brat

Brian took the blows without a sound.

After a few hits, Weston lost steam and waved him off. “Get out,”

He thought, “That stubborn face of his never changes. No wonder hecouldn’t even keep his wife happy Useless brat

Brian left without protest..

At Atkinson Villa, Jacob gasped when he saw Brian’s injuries, “Dad, your head.……..”

Brian, who had only hastily treated the wound, shrugged. “It’s nothing”

“Did Grandpa do this? Why so harsh?” Jacob had learned from the maid earlier that night that Brian had gone to Atkinson Manor and wouldn’t be back for dinner. Yet halfway through his meal, Brian had returned with visible injuries.

“I deserved it,” Bran admitted. “Your grandpa found out about the divorce. He’s furious”

“What? He knew it? He’s not mad at Mom, is he?” Panic flashed across Jacob’s face. He feared that Weston might become yet another obstacle in their path to winning Jessica back. Compared to that. Brian’s injury seemed trivial.

Brian chuckled at Jacob’s blatant bias, ruffling his hair. “My loyal boy”

Jacob ducked away, scowling. “Dad, stop joking. This is serious.” He was practically hopping with anxiety,

Seeing his distress, Brian sighed, “No, your grandpa blames me for driving your mom away. He ordered me to win her back.”

*Really? So he still likes M

Mom? Yes Jacob leaped in joy.

Brian smiled, feeling both amused and helpless

“Wait, how did Grandpa find out so suddenly?” Jacob’s excitement faded as logic kicked in, noticing the inconsistency.

“It’s public now. Someone leaked the news about the divorce.” Brian’s voice tumed icy.

He thought, ‘When I find out who did it…

“Who would do something so awful?” Jacob exploded, “Someone is trying to ruin things between you and Mom. Dad, do you know who did it?”

“Not yet. But I will dig the person out,” Brian said obidly. There’d be no mercy

Reassured, Jacob grilled Brian for more details until exhaustion finally sent him to bed.

The next morning, just as Brian finished dryssing, Weston called –

Weston had changed his mind. He decided to go alone to Grant Manor with lavish gifts. Brian was ordered to stay away.

Chapter 220

Brian tried to argue, but a verbal bashing shot him down.

At Atkinson Manor, Weston surveyed the mountain of presents his butter had prepared, then added a few personal treasures. “This should suffer hope Jessica’s parents won’t slam the deer in my face.”

With a nervous sigh, he got in the car and set off for Gr

Grant Maner

At Grant Manor, Jessica had just finished breakfast with her parents when a maid announced that Weston arrived with a large number of gifts

“Humph, he finally decided to show up,” Dereck snected, holding a grudge over Weston’s earlier Silanca.

“Enough. He’s a quest. Try not to be too harsh.” Stella nudged Dereck.

Not wanting conflict, Jessica hesitated before explaining, “Weston probably didn’t mean to stay away. Before this, Brian kept our divorce quiet.”

Stella caught on instantly. “Brian hid it from his father? Then how did Weston find out now?”

Dereck’s gaze sharpened.

Jessica said, “Yesterday, someone exposed it publicly.”

Dereck frowned

d and prepared to speak, but Stella cut in, “Let Weston come in first.” If he wasn’t complicit, leaving him outside would be rude.

Dereck didn’t object further.
