Chapter 871 Blakeâs next words came out as a roar, showing just how much he despised the Pine family. But Eleanor was so Innocent. She had never even met the elders of the Pine family, yet she was the first to face the familyâs hatred.
âBlake, I get your pain and sympathize with all that you guys have been through, but this has nothing to do with me, I havenât.â
She wanted to say that she wasnât part of it, but suddenly, Blakeâs cane came crashing down towards her. He moved so fast that Eleanor couldnât dodge in time and her small arm took the full force of the blow. The old man tried to swing again, but before his cane could land, it was caught by a hand.
Scott snatched the cane away, rested it on his knee and snapped it in half.
âIâm here, anyone who tries to bully maâam will have to go through me first!â

After glaring at the old man, Scott tumed to Eleanor.
âAre you okay?â
The pain from the hard object striking flesh indeed hurt a lot, but Eleanor bravely shook her head.
She held her left arm, raised her eyes and looked at the still furiously old man.
âBlake, itâs clear that even if you beat me up, it wonât erase the hatred in your heart. Instead, itâll drive a wedge between you and your grandson. Why would you do that?â
âWhy?â Blake roared. âYouâve got my grandson wrapped around your finger, making him lose his senses, even forget his familyâs hatred. Why, you ask?â

Blake firmly believed that marriages lacking the blessings of elders were destined for unhappiness. Despite his reservations, he secretly yearned for his grandsonâs marriage to be filled with joy. Consequently, he set aside his pride and joined the celebration.
