Derek felt as if he had just punched a mass of cotton, which annoyed him even more.

He stared coldly at the gentle-looking man in front of him. After quite a while, he slowly let go of his hand. He lowered his head and gave an evil smile.

“Okay! Let’s wait and see!”

Then he whipped around angrily and kicked over a desk.

Outside the door was a crowd of little girls, chattering away.

“Did Little Overlord have a fight with Mr. Walker?”

“Mr. Walker is so gentle. How can he beat Little Overlord?”

“God bless Mr. Walker. Hope he won’t be hurt…”

Seeing Derek rush out, they instantly paled in shock.

The Smiths’ mansion.

At the dinner table, Allen suddenly asked about his father. “How is Dad these days?”

Ada smiled and said, “He went hiking with a few friends a few days ago. He is fit as a fiddle. By the way…”

As if remembering something, she looked at Claire. “Claire, tomorrow is Saturday. Don’t run around. I will take you to visit Grandpa. I have brought you back for so long, but your grandpa hasn’t seen you yet.”

Claire raised her eyebrows as a response.

Phoebe suddenly clutched the fork in her hand and lowered her head, hiding the coldness in her eyes.

Mom… wants to take Claire to see Grandpa?

——

Early in the morning, Ada took Claire to Mr. Taylor’s mansion.

The Taylors’ mansion

In the study on the second floor, an old man was sitting in a chair. Although he was gray-haired, he was energetic and straight backed. His wrinkled face looked majestic, and his eyes were piercing, which showed that he must have been something when he was young.

Phoebe was whispering something to him.

The old man was shocked. “Really?!”

Phoebe nodded seriously. “She even took a knife to the school to threaten her classmates and everyone was scared by her. She got the full score in the last Mathematical Olympiad exam by cheating. Even our principal knows about it.”

Mr. Taylor patted the desk hard, snapping. “How dare she? I knew that the girl was wild, but I didn’t expect her to be so lawless. If this was in ancient times, she would have been expelled from the family!”

Phoebe bit her lip, tears in her eyes, and she said sadly, “Did mom bring her to see you because she didn’t want me anymore? After all… I am not her biological daughter. Sometimes I think maybe it would be better if I leave…”

As she said, she lowered her head, a drop of tear happened to hit the back of her hand.

“Leave? Where can you go? Stupid girl…”

Mr. Taylor stroked her head dotingly and said firmly, “No matter what your mother thinks, I won’t acknowledge that wild girl as my granddaughter anyway. I only have one granddaughter, which is you!”

At this time, the door was knocked.

Phoebe wiped away her tears immediately, pretending that nothing had happened.

The door was pushed open and Ada walked in. When she saw Phoebe, she was a little surprised.

“Phoebe, why are you here?”

Phoebe took two steps backwards, hiding behind Mr. Taylor, looking frightened.

Mr. Taylor snapped. “What? My granddaughter can’t come to see me?”

He deliberately emphasized on the word ‘granddaughter’.

“Dad, I didn’t say anything…” Ada gave a wry smile. “I’ve brought Claire to see you. She is downstairs.”

Mr. Taylor snorted coldly. “What does that mean? Is she waiting for me to go down to see her?!”

“Then I will call her up now.”

“No need!” Mr. Taylor waved his hand and said sternly, “I can’t control you if you want to acknowledge that wild girl as your daughter, but I won’t acknowledge her. Moreover, I don’t want to see her. Just take her away now!”
