Chapter 320: Logan Protects Tina
Tina had her hands in her pockets, smirking at Nathaniel. She spoke slowly, “He wants me to break off my engagement with Mr. Farrell and marry him. He even said the Farrell family will be his in the future.”
Hearing this, Logan’s face darkened instantly. Clara and Vivienne also looked displeased. Everyone in the Farrell family had thoughts about inheriting the family fortune, but they kept it hidden. Yet Nathaniel openly claimed the Farrell family as his? This useless man dared to dream of inheriting the Farrell family?
“You scoundrel!” Logan hit Nathaniel a few more times in anger. “It was bad enough you never did anything right before, but now you dare to ruin your cousin and his fiancee’s relationship? I’ll beat you to death!”
Hazel quickly intervened, “Dad! You can’t hit him anymore. No matter what, Nathaniel is your eldest grandson! He’s saying this because he wants to be the backbone of the Farrell family; he’s thinking about the family’s future!”
“Humph!” Logan slammed his cane on the ground, his nose flaring with anger. “What does he think he is? The Farrell family doesn’t need him!”
Clara watched coldly and added sarcastically, “You should really control Nathaniel. The old man is still standing here, and he dares to say such things? What will happen in the future?”
She glanced at Nathaniel and sneered, “The Farrell family is a big family; it’s not something anyone can just take over. You should be careful not to disgrace us.”
Walter snickered, “You don’t respect us, fine. But not even respecting Grandpa? You’re really arrogant.”
Vivienne said nothing, only glancing at Tina and Jared with narrowed eyes. She never thought Nathaniel could take over the Farrell family; he was just a useless person in her eyes. Her concern was Jared. The people she sent out hadn’t returned with any news, yet Jared stood here unharmed. As long as Jared lived, she could never secure the inheritance!
“Shut up!” Nathaniel turned and glared at everyone around him. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re all thinking! I’m the eldest grandson; it’s my right before any of you.”
“Nathaniel! That’s too much,” Clara said coldly. “We’re discussing matters here. What? You won’t let anyone speak? With your shameful actions, you still want to take over the Farrell family? Even if it were given to you, could you keep it?”
“Let’s not even talk about Jared; even young Sijun is better than you.”
Not far away, a teenager in sportswear looked up slightly. At eighteen years old, he had an air of gloominess about him.
Orson glanced at everyone before finally looking at Tina with a barely noticeable frown and a hint of disdain in his eyes. “I’m going back to my room.”
Without waiting for anyone’s response, Orson turned and left. The others seemed used to it and didn’t care whether he stayed or left.
After Orson left, Walter sneered, “See? People don’t even want to deal with you, Nathaniel. Besides seducing women, what else can you do?”
“You!” Nathaniel was furious but restrained himself. “Anyway, Grandpa, you have to stand up for me! I do want to marry Tina, but she really did tear my clothes off! Look at how she scratched me! Now that things have come to this point, I demand that the Reed family take responsibility! You must make Tina break off her engagement with Jared!”
His goal today wasn’t to argue with these people. Even if he couldn’t marry Tina himself, making her break off her engagement with Jared would be good enough. Otherwise, once Jared married Tina and had the support of the Reed family, how could he compete with Jared?
“That’s out of the question!” Clara was the first to object. “Jared and Tina’s engagement ceremony has already been held; how can it be called off just like that?”
Who Jared married didn’t matter! But Nathaniel absolutely could not marry a daughter from the Reed family! Even if Jared was designated by the old man as the heir, so what? The old man was getting old and hadn’t made a will yet; they weren’t worried about Jared at all.
But Nathaniel was different; as the eldest grandson, inheritance laws prioritized him.
“This has nothing to do with you; stay out of it,” Nathaniel said angrily.
“What do you mean ‘nothing to do with us’?” Clara retorted coldly. “Anything concerning the Farrell family concerns me.”
Clara and Nathaniel continued their argument incessantly.
Logan and Jared watched them coldly without any expression.
Tina looked on with an amused expression as if watching a show.
“Alright then! You’ve gone this far and still slander Tina? If I don’t beat you to death today, I’m not your grandfather!” Logan raised his cane and started hitting Nathaniel again.
“Ah!” Nathaniel screamed as he dodged. “Grandpa, you’re being unfair! It’s clearly Tina who seduced me! Why won’t you believe me?”
Logan ignored his nonsense and continued hitting him mercilessly.
Hazel felt heartbroken watching this.
She turned her head and saw Tina’s amused expression; anger surged within her. “It’s you! It’s all because of you!”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She pointed at Tina furiously and shouted, “You couldn’t seduce him successfully so now you’re throwing all the blame on Nathaniel! You’re so vicious! The old man allowed you into the Farrell family but you’ve been scheming against Jared and him all along! Now you’re trying to scheme against my son too!”
Tina crossed her arms and looked indifferently at Hazel’s hysterical outburst.
“There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the Farrell family.” She smiled faintly but her eyes were as cold as knives piercing Hazel’s heart. “Do you want to watch them?”
Hazel felt a chill run down her spine at those words. “What do you mean?” She glared back but felt uneasy.
“What’s the point of watching surveillance now?” Nathaniel retorted weakly. “Things have already come this far! Do you want to make it more embarrassing?”
He had forgotten in his anger that the Farrell family’s security system was extremely thorough with surveillance cameras everywhere capturing high-definition footage like a movie.
“Grandpa! Tina did it on purpose!” Nathaniel complained bitterly to Logan. “She’s deliberately coming between me and Jared to sow discord!”
Jared turned his gaze towards him coldly. “Sow discord?”
His voice was icy as he looked at Nathaniel. “Do you think someone like you would catch Tina’s eye?”
“Exactly!” Sophia chimed in angrily with her hands on her hips. “My sister isn’t blind! Why would she choose someone else over my brother?”
