Chapter 296

However, as Mr. Smith reconsidered the situation, his anger subsided considerably.

aby, you

don’t understand. Euro saved me when he was young, so I made him a few promises. He me to beg me this time, and I…”

ace furrowed her brow. “Father, you have secretly helped the Grammer family many times over e years. Moreover, Sarah has tried to harm me on numerous occasions. There is no balance

tween you two anymore.”

n my opinion, if Patric wants to end the engagement, let him. Why should he marry a wicked oman like Sarah who would bully me?”

As for the troubles the Grammer family is facing now, don’t worry about it. They have brought it pon themselves through their own actions. Whether it’s the bankruptcy and liquidation of their ompany or their removal from the rich list, they have no one to blame but themselves.”

Ir. Smith listened calmly, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

Alright, let’s do as you say, Baby. If Sarah truly intended to harm you, then I won’t add fuel to the re for the Grammer family this time.”

race smiled, her eyebrows curved with satisfaction. Her father’s anger had subsided, thanks to her weet talk.

‘atric stood silently, observing the father-daughter interaction before him with an indifferent xpression

Mr. Smith noticed his son’s stoic demeanor and softened his tone.

However, Patric’s entire being became gloomy, and he remained unconvinced.

Which wealthy family do you want to find me a new fiancee from? Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and I will choose someone I love. You can’t control my life anymore!”

You! Do you want to defy me?”.

Mr. Smith’s anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.

‘Your little actress, her background is unclear. She was born in an orphanage, and her education is not extensive. What advantage do you have in marrying her? People will mock my Smith family!”

“Advantage?”

Patric was equally annoyed and sneered, “Am I marrying a wife or buying goods? You have everything planned out. Back then, despite our few objections, you insisted on marrying a useless woman like Lianne.

“It was reasonable for you to have a mistress, but it’s a mistake for me to marry the woman I love?

What exactly do you consider a suitable match?TM

Mr. Smith trembled as he pointed at Patric, his chest heaving violently, almost gasping for breath

“You wretch, you!”

If Patric weren’t confined to a wheelchair due to his legs’ condition, Mr. Smith would have probably given him a couple of slaps by now.

Unable to physically strike his son, Mr. Smith grew even angrier and shouted towards the door, “Mr.

Lloyd! Bring me a whip! I want this scoundrel to be whipped until he admits he’s wrong!”

Pauric’s face displayed his dissatisfaction as he began unbuttoning his suit.

Chapter 296

“Admitting I’m wrong is impossible. You might as well beat me to death today, and I’ll gladly give you my life! In the next life, I won’t be your son, Mr. Smith!”

Since Mr. Smith had insisted on arranging his engagement with Sarah more than two years ago, the tension between him and Patric had remained unresolved and continued until now.

“You ungrateful child!”

Mr. Smith’s eyes turned red, his face black and purple with anger.

Uncle Lloyd hesitated, afraid to act. “Master, please calm down. The Third Young Master. Mr. Smith glared at him. “Hurry up and do as I say! Bind him and beat him! Forget it!”

“Don’t go!”

Grace intervened, frantically gesturing to Uncle Lloyd, urging him to step back.

“Even you dare to defy me?”

Mr. Smith looked at his most beloved daughter with anger and hurt.

“How could 1. Dad?”

”

Grace used her hands to comfort his violently heaving chest. Her gentle touch, like the soft paws of a kitten, soothed his frantic emotions.

She reconciled, “Dad, Patric went too far. He’s upset about Sarah, but he didn’t mean to disrespect you. I apologize on his behalf.”

She smiled apologetically but secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Fortunately, their elders were quite open minded.

Otherwise, Patric would have faced severe consequences today.

With her consolation, Mr. Smith’s breathing gradually returned to normal.

However, when he looked up, he saw Patric continuing to undress, standing shirtless, as if provoking his authority.

“Look at him! What good is an apology? He did nothing wrong! Cough…”

Grace swiftly turned around and glared at Patric. “Patric, stop causing trouble. It’s freezing outside.. Put your clothes on quickly. You’ll catch a cold, and Dad would be the first to worry about you!”

She shot a frantic look at Patric, urging him to comply.

Patric was taken aback, his face gloomy, and he silently started to put his clothes back on.

Mr. Smith chuckled proudly. “I won’t worry about him. Let him suffer from an illness. I should have used a condom and suffocated him inside!”

Grace couldn’t help but burst into laughter, doing her best to lighten the atmosphere. “Dad, what are you thinking? Without Patric, the order would be disrupted, and you wouldn’t have your precious daughter!”

“You’re right…” Mr. Smith’s tone softened. “In that case, for your sake, I’ll let him go.”

Grace was overjoyed, knowing that her intervention had saved Patrie from further trouble. “Patric, Dad isn’t angry with you anymore. Thank you, Dad!”

Patric remained silent, his mind occupied.

Seeing that Mr. Smith was on the verge of getting angry again, Grace quickly intervened. “Father, leave Patric to me. I’ll help persuade him!”

She grabbed Patric’s arm and pulled him out, offering a smile to Mr. Smith. “Well, Dad, we’ll take our leave now!”

Patric was dragged out of the ancestral hall.

His breath was cold, and before Grace could say anything, he spoke his mind. “You were insistent on marrying into the Feng family.”

Grace blinked. “Who said I was going to persuade you?”

“Then why did you say earlier that you wanted to be his advocate?”

Grace clicked her tongue and earnestly replied, “Oh, my dear Patric, Dad is in a rage. Anything you say to him will only make things worse. If you want him to approve of marrying Xiaoqing, you need to be careful in your approach and take your time.”

“You have to make him see that Abigail is a beautiful and kind-hearted girl, not the type who schemes to marry into a wealthy family. Think of ways to subtly convince him and get his approval. This is where your skills come into play!”
