Chapter 622
Blake, who was initially pretty pissed off, wasiil aware of his siblings‘ dissatisfaction with him until Bernard revealed that these people even dared to insult him
He looked up and took a fresh look at the brothers and sisters he had once taken care of, feeling weirdly disconnected all of a sudden.
at seemed that everyone had gradually drifted away from him after they had their own familles. They rarely visited, only seeking him but when in trouble or in need. No matter how good he was to them, they only
saw him as an older brother of some use
Blake pondered for a bit choosing to keep his mouth shut and leaving everything to Bernard
Bernard was about to give orders with his slender fingers raised when a relative walked up to Sigrid.
“Sigrid, sorry I was too harsh just now Please forgive me
Seeing her usually snooty relative apologizing to her Sigrid was quite shocked Fortunately, she had received a good education from a young age and could control her emotions, accepting the apology calmly and graciously
“I accept your apology, but please stop spreading rumors that I had an abortion. I just had a check up at the gynecologist because I wasn’t feeling well
She took this opportunity to clarify the rumors about herself but didn’t deny having dated Chase
Seeing someone apologize first, the others followed suit, as apologizing was nothing compared to being kicked out of the family
Of course, even as the head of the family, Bernard didn’t have the right to kick them all out, but Blake did.
It was only when they saw Blake remaining silent did they step forward to apologize.
You can’t piss off the big brother who can still support you, or else they’d be nobodies in the Laurence family
The apologizing relatives, whether sincere or insincere at least allowed Siged to restore some dignity in this situation.
She gratefully looked at her brother It was because of his kindness to his siblings that they would follow his orders Also, it was because of his decisive actions and fair rewards and punishments that everyone admired him so much Her brother Bernard, was the most formidable head of the Laurence family, even grandpa seemed a bit less in his presence
Bernard stretched out his long legs, leaning back on the sofa, looking down at the five uncles below
These were Blake’s sons and the fathers of Bernard’s cousins. This relationship was much closer than that of lateral relatives.
Seeing Bernard eyeing them, the uncles got nervous, thinking back if they had done anything inappropriate in the Laurence family.
Even Veronica’s parents were nervously holding her hand, afraid and saying. “If he takes action against us later, you must defend us…
Veronica raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you embezzle funds, take bribes, or manipulate the stock market?”
Her parents immediately shook their heads. “We work under his supervision, how dare we do such immoral things?”
Veronica smiled and said. “Then what are you afraid of, Bernard is not the kind who can’t separate work affairs from family ones
Her parents disagreed, “We listened to your grandfather and didn’t attend his proposal ceremony, he will definitely hold a grudge against us!
Veronica gently patted her parents‘ hands, “Don’t worry, how could Bernard remember such a thing”
The reason everyone was summoned to the old house today was because grandpa went to find Eleanor on his own and tried to harm her, right?
As the head of the family, he naturally had to come back to fix grandpa’s personnel affairs, take back grandpa’s influence, so grandpa wouldn’t dare to point fingers at the head of the family in the future.
Although grandpa was very good to Veronica, she also felt that grandpa’s relatives were over the line. She had warned them many times, but grandpa always turned a blind eye, pretending not to know
Veronica had already anticipated conflicts with her relatives and was not worried about it. On the contrary, she felt that grandpa should retire at his age.
Just as she was thinking about this, Bernard’s icy gaze slowly moved from the uncles to grandpa, “Now it’s your turn-
Blake caught his icy gaze, smirked, and snonid, “What’s your game plan for me?”
