Chapter 184
"Now, you don't even listen to my words!"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Grandpa, you can't control my life. I can always change my last name!" Trevor declared as he stood before Maximilian impassively.
Everyone could tell he was about to confront Maximilian.
"Do you know what you are saying? Do you know who you are?"
Maximilian was so infuriated that his hand trembled while holding the cane. "That vixen must have seduced my grandson! That's why he's losing his mind!"
"I know who I am! It's you who you don't! I am Trevor Gulliford, and the woman inside is my wife," Trevor countered fearlessly.
This time, he would not back down.
"Bullshit! You are first a member of the Gulliford family and my grandson! Who does she think she is?" Maximilian raged, so angry that he even cursed.
"No. According to your logic, I am first my mother's son, then a member of the Gulliford family."
"Don't ever mention that woman again!" Maximilian yelled angrily, throwing his cane against Trevor.
"Haven't I done enough for him these years? What is this brat thinking?" Maximilian fumed internally.
"Grandpa, she's my mom. If you think she's not worthy enough to be part of the Gulliford family, then I'm also not worthy enough. I will return all of Gulliford Group's shares to you tomorrow. However, today, I will not allow you to step inside the bedroom." I've been the young master of the Gulliford family in Horington fora longtime already, and I've had enough. If I can't even choose the woman I love, then there's no point in being the young master of the Gulliford family, Trevor thought.
"Sure! Let's see if you can bear the pain!"
Furious, Maximilian gestured for his butler, Gabriel, to return his cane to him and hit Trevor with it with all his might.
Trevor held in the pain and only grunted. His brows knitted together as he stared straight ahead, unblinking. "Trevor, what are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to Grandpa. Say you lost your mind for a moment."
Leah ran in and threw herself into Trevor's arms.
However, he raised his hands and shoved her away while shouting to Maximilian, "Again!"
"Since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish."
Having created Gulliford Group when he was young, Maximilian was a decisive and stubborn man.
He clenched his cane tightly and hit Trevor again and again strongly, not caring how much strength he was using.
"Do you want me to continue? Hm? Do you want me to continue!" Maximilian yelled while smacking Trevor, thus venting his frustrations and waiting for Trevor to beg for mercy.
Yet, Trevor was also obstinate and gritted his teeth, refusing to speak a word. "Trevor, what are you doing? Apologize to Grandpa!"
Worry was written all over Leah's face. Seeing that Trevor did not speak, she turned to persuade Maximilian. "Grandpa, Trevor knows he did wrong. Please forgive him."
Trevor remained silent and lowered his eyes in a show of defiance.
Naturally, Maximilian did not show any mercy. After hitting Trevor dozens of times, he was too tired to continue.
He took a few deep breaths and was about to continue hitting again when Gabriel stopped him.
"Maximilian, please stop. Mr. Gulliford will die if you continue!"
Gabriel could not watch on any longer. After all, someone needed to step out to stop Maximilian to prevent him from beating Trevor to death. "Yes, Grandpa! Trevor can't bear it any longer!" Leah cried, kneeling beside Trevor, who had collapsed on the floor from the blows.
When Jessica saw Trevor lying on
the floor, on the verge of fainting through the narrow crack of the door she furrowed her brows and her heart broke.
However, if she walked out to stand beside Trevor right now, she was afraid he would be even more severely hurt.
