Amidst the chaos of Edward’s angry shouting, Gary’s desperate denials, and Sophia’s helpless explanations.
A low, magnetic, and earnest voice broke the chaos-
“Grandpa, the one who coveted wasn’t him, it was me.”
This voice successfully halted the chaos at the scene.
The three of them turned their gaze sharply in the direction of the voice.
The man sitting on the sofa, elegant and noble, his face cold as an immortal yet dignified and serious, stared unblinkingly at Mr. Roscente with eyes as deep as obsidian.
Mr. Roscente was shocked.
Mr. Roscente was livid.
What… was he saying?!
Edward’s action of grabbing his cane to hit Gary was paused as he stared at Tristan.
He widened his eyes, took a moment to find his voice, shocked and dry: “Tris, what did you say?”
The one coveting his precious granddaughter, was Tristan?
Even if… he had just considered it for a moment, even if Soph wanted to find a husband, it should be someone like Tristan.
But it didn’t mean, he could truly accept Tristan coveting his precious granddaughter!
Edward immediately found it impossible to maintain a carefree attitude towards Tristan Yeats.
His face darkened, his gaze carrying a hint of warning–You better swallow the rest of your words, or else, I’ll turn hostile!
Tristan’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly stood up. With a noble and upright posture, and an earnest demeanor, he repeated clearly, word by word, “Grandpa, the one who covets Soph is me.”
Mr. Roscente was completely stunned.
He almost wanted to pick up a cane and smash it on Gary’s head.
The rascal, chasing after his granddaughter, even came to his house.
No wonder that brat Tris suddenly wanted to visit.
It turned out he accompanied Gary, coming for his granddaughter.
He had investigated, and Gary’s family was indeed a first–class family in Virelia.
This Gary did not have any bad habits common among rich young guys, and at a young age, he had achieved quite a lot.
Morcover, being able to stay by Tristan’s side meant his character was naturally unassailable.
