“That silly woman! She was pregnant. How could she not tell anyone? Losing a child is one thing, but what if her body is ruined? Why is Allison’s life so hard?”
Ben patted Newton’s violently heaving back, feeling like his heart was being roasted in an open flame.
The scene of Alyssa bleeding, pleading with him to keep it a secret, was vividly etched in Ben’s mind.
Even now, recalling it was still so painful.
After some thought, Ben took a deep breath and was about to speak. Yet Javier spoke first. “Dad, your body is weak. Don’t get overly emotional.”
“How can I not be emotional? Allison once carried Jeremy’s child¡ªour bloodline! A child is lost just like that! How can I not be sad and not feel guilty?”
Just as Newton was in distress, the disheveled Jeremy walked in.
“Grandpa …”
“Jeremy, where’s Allison? Did Winston take her back home?” Newton asked anxiously.
Jeremy nodded heavily. His throat tightened, making him unable to speak.
“How can you be so careless and so dumb?”
Newton angrily pounded the coffee table, almost wanting to rush up and give this disappointing grandson a slap. “Allison was your wife! You didn’t even know she was pregnant? Are you heartless?”
“Dad, don’t blame Jeremy anymore. It’s already in the past. There’s no point talking about it now.”
Javier lowered his gaze, his expression cold and indifferent. “Besides, you knew that Jeremy didn’t love
Alyssa back then, but you still insisted on matchmaking them. You made Jeremy not like coming home.
How could he care so much?
“Alyssa didn’t tell anyone she was pregnant, and she kept her miscarriage a secret. I think she didn’t know about the pregnancy back then, so we shouldn’t be at fault here. It’s her lack of experience and carelessness that led to this embarrassing situation for both families.”
Jeremy felt a sharp pain in his chest. His eyes instantly ignited with anger. The muscles under his damp suit stretched, and rage quickened his blood.
He parted his lips to speak, but before he could, Newton erupted in fury. He picked up the cup on the table and hurled it at Javier.
“Ugh!”
Javier suddenly felt a severe pain in his forehead. His vision darkened, and he stumbled backward.
The cup accurately hit his forehead, instantly causing a red and bloody bump to swell up.
“Dad … you … you!”
“I’ll smack you, you heartless animal! It’s fine if you don’t care about Allison losing her child. But you want to blame it all on her? Are you even a man?”
Newton was so furious that his face turned pale from anger. “Before, I thought you were misled by that vicious Sophia. Now … it seems you two are truly cut from the same cloth!”
Javier, accustomed to a life of privilege since childhood, had never experienced such a beating or humiliation. And it happened in front of his son!
He was totally embarrassed. The humiliation was unbearable.
“I’ll smack you, heartless scum!” Newton was about to pick up a purple cup to continue his assault, but
Ben timely stopped him. “Mr. Newton, calm down!”
As Javier covered the injury on his forehead, his anger made him grit his teeth.
“You don’t stand on your own grandson’s and son’s side but side with Winston’s daughter? You’re being a double-crosser! I think you’re so old that you’re confused.
“Winston and his daughter have been opposing us at every turn. This time at the party, they even snatched Jesselton Incorporated’s tens-of-million-dollar racecourse hotel project from us! If it weren’t for KS Group meddling, that project should have belonged to Walsh Group!”
He angrily accused Newton of everything, then turned sharply to point accusingly at Jeremy.
“And you! Not only do you not help your family’s business, but you act as a matchmaker for the Taylor family, facilitating collaboration between KS Group and the Jesseltons!
“Your brother is far away in Mosgravia and not in good health, but he’s contributing to the family! But you actually gave up our interests for the sake of a woman!”
Javier continued, “As the president of the group, this is a serious dereliction of duty! You must take full responsibility for the failure of this project!”
Jeremy’s dim eyes darkened further. His voice was extremely hoarse as he responded, “That isn’t my only responsibility, isn’t it?”
Javier was suddenly stunned. “What?”
“I publicly opposed your arrangement for me to marry the Harpers. It was just yesterday. Have you already forgotten?”
Jeremy’s gaze was so cold that it would send chills down one’s spine. “You said that if I refused to marry Zoe, you’d kick me out of Walsh Group.
“With Zoe causing havoc, the Harpers are pushed into a difficult situation as she exposes the truth about Lyse miscarrying my child. You know that she’s a malicious and troublesome person. You’re afraid of getting involved, so you just forget about the marriage, right?”
Ben was incredibly shocked. Cold sweat soaked his back.
How was this possible?
Alyssa’s miscarriage was unknown to the public. How did Zoe find out about it?
“Jeremy … you!” Javier was infuriated by Jeremy’s revealing accusations.
“Marry who? That lady from the Harper family?”
Newton nearly threw out the purple cup in his hands again. He was so angry that he shivered.
“Javier! Is your brain filled with mush? You leave out such an outstanding lady like Allison and want
Jeremy to marry that scheming bitch? She exposed the miscarriage to disrupt Jeremy and Allison’s relationship. She’s so wicked, and you want Jeremy to marry her? You should marry her yourself!”
“Dad!”
“You’re bad at judging people and have no shame. Fine. But don’t think about letting my grandson follow your footsteps!”
Furious, Newton glared. Even though he was old, his eyes were still sharp, just like in the past.
“Also, don’t think about blaming the loss of the project on Jeremy or slandering Allison. Although I wasn’t present at this year’s horse racing event, I know exactly what happened!
“The Harpers tampered with the Taylors’ horse. Despite that, Allison still won first place! She earned the opportunity through her own efforts. It’s not something you can smear with just a few words!”
“Grandpa …” Jeremy’s chest heaved, and his eyes turned red-rimmed.
Newton still cared, trusted, and supported Alyssa, just as he did three years ago.
But what about Jeremy?
Newton had told him to treat Alyssa well and not upset her countless times, saying that she was an excellent lady who was hard to find. But what had he done?
He had ruined everything¡ªliterally everything.
“No matter what, Allison is my only daughter-in-law! Other than her, I won’t accept anyone!” Newton reiterated this matter firmly and resolutely.
“Jeremy owes Allison, and so does our family. I can’t do anything if I die. But as long as I’m alive, Javier, you won’t be able to make Jeremy marry those filthy women!”
The furious Javier shouted with the ridiculous red bump on his head, “Justin’s health is deteriorating, and the doctor says the possibility of him having children is close to zero! Now, you want Alyssa to join the family? Do you want to leave the Walsh family without an heir?”
Newton trembled at his words. “What do you mean?”
Javier bellowed, “That miscarriage left Alyssa unable to conceive again! Do you really want to marry
Jeremy to such a woman? Jeremy is now the only heir of our Walsh family.
“If you let him marry Alyssa, who will inherit the tens-of-billion-dollar family business? Betty? Lauren?
Are they up to the task?”
Jeremy felt as if his heart were torn open.
“How … How can that …” Newton was completely dumbfounded. He felt as though he was bleeding inside.
