"Hmph! Enough, you don’t need to be so shocked anymore!" Old Master Lancaster’s eyes showed a heavy expression as he angrily said, "Julian, you just use these things to threaten me, don’t you?"
"Grandfather, I have no intention of threatening you..."
Julian looked serious, "Just now Nina told me she wants to completely separate, so this is my decision and has nothing to do with anyone else. You don’t need to worry about the Lancaster Group. No matter who you choose to inherit the Lancaster Family, I will cooperate with the transition work."
Old Master Lancaster’s eyelids twitched heavily upon hearing Julian’s words.
Feeling helpless, he paced back and forth a few times before his eyes fell on Julian, staring at him fiercely with a piercing gaze.
Julian’s expression was serious and didn’t look like he was joking; he truly wanted to step down.
Old Madam Lancaster, sitting beside Julian, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Julian, Grandma knows you like Nina. Initially, I had some opinions about her because of Caleb’s issue..."
"But now I’ve discovered that Nina is a good girl. Since you like her, be together with her. Grandma supports you!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⟡fire.net
Sharon nodded repeatedly, "I support you too!"
Seeing Old Madam Lancaster and Sharon siding with Julian, Old Master Lancaster felt deeply betrayed.
Even though Julian had defied him multiple times, he really had no way to effectively deal with Julian. In this world, what parent could go against their child’s wishes?
Julian stood up and bowed deeply to Old Master Lancaster.
"Grandfather, please choose someone else from the Lancaster Family as soon as possible in the next few days. After I complete all the transition work, I will leave Crestfall."
After saying that, Julian stood up and prepared to walk outside.
"Stop!" Old Master Lancaster’s commanding voice came from behind him.
Julian paused, turned to look at Old Master Lancaster, "Grandfather, is there anything else you’d like to instruct?"
"Enough, don’t use these ploys to gain sympathy anymore!"
Old Master Lancaster’s face was filled with distress, as if compromising was his greatest reluctance. He said in a deep voice, "Since you really want this woman, I can allow you to be with her..."
Julian wasn’t too pleased because he knew Old Master Lancaster surely had something else to say.
"But you must give me a great-grandson within half a year!"
Old Master Lancaster had thought very simply: since Julian was his failed attempt, he would try again with a new attempt, letting Julian and that woman have a child, whom he would personally keep by his side.
That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about Julian anymore.
Unfortunately, Old Master Lancaster’s plan was flawless, but he overlooked Julian’s perspective.
Julian’s expression turned serious. Given the state of his relationship with Nina, there’s a chance they might separate if he couldn’t win her back.
Not to mention future children, and Nina is her own person; he doesn’t want her to become a so-called tool for childbirth.
After a moment of silence, Julian looked at Old Master Lancaster and seriously said, "Grandfather, I’m afraid I can’t agree to your request."
"You!" Old Master Lancaster felt he had made a significant concession, yet Julian was still not satisfied; it was truly outrageous!
"Firstly, I’m currently separated from Nina and need to win her back; it’s uncertain if I’ll succeed. Secondly, Nina is not a baby-making machine. Her own will dictates her decisions regarding having children."
After speaking, Julian turned and left.
Old Master Lancaster didn’t expect Julian to just leave like that, his face turned black with anger.
Could it be that the kid really intends to abandon the Lancaster Family?
