Liam did not say anything.
He looked at Matthew and Yale coldly. The seconds of silence felt like the study room was thrown into a vacuum.
There was immense pressure hanging just above their heads as their lips quivered, and they stayed quiet.
Suddenly, Liam picked up the crystal ashtray on the table and hurled it toward them.
“B*stards!”
“Ah!” Yale, whose reflexes were fast, crouched down, hugging his head. While Matthew was not hit, he did not
manage to avoid it, and the ashtray landed right by his foot.
Liam was furious. “You… Hah, my dear son and grandson! How did the Hamertons have pieces of trash like you
two!?”
They were not just pieces of trash! They were fools! So much for an unsought confession.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia watched everything indifferently.
“Take your son and leave!” Liam picked up his cane and hit Matthew’s calf.
The jolt of pain made Matthew yowl. As if this hit was cursed, it also crushed the last of father and son love left in
him.
With a pale face, Matthew balled up his hands and slowly showed the fierceness in his eyes.
“Yale and I are pieces of trash!?” He gritted his teeth. “Old man, you have no right to teach me this lesson!”
“You…” Liam’s eyes went wide.
Aside from Zephyr, no one had dared argue back like this! However, it felt completely different when Zephyr did it
and when Matthew did it!
Liam was more or less tolerant of his precious grandson, but he could not take even one second of it when it came
to this sc*m of a son.
“Matthew Hamerton, I’ll say this one last time.” Liam stared right into his eyes. “Take your useless son and get out
of the manor!”
“What right do you have to do that?” Matthew sneered. “Don’t I have you to thank for becoming who I am today?
“Ever since we were young, you only had Henry in your eyes! Are the rest of us not your biological children? You
treated us worse than a stepfather would!
“You give him the best house, the best marriage, love his son the most and even let him have a divorce and
remarriage… What about him? He’s nothing! He’s more of a piece of trash than I am!
“Your favoritism is what caused what’s happening today! If Zephyr did die in the plane crash five years ago, you
shouldn’t blame anyone but yourself!”
“Enough!” snarled Liam.
He was old, and his health was not as it used to be. He swayed after shouting, feeling a little dizzy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia hurried forward to hold him.
“Favoritism?” Liam gritted every word. “Henry’s not exactly capable, but he’s honest and loyal. He has no tricks up
his sleeve and never schemes against anyone! If you had half of his character, I’d favor you too!
“Matthew Hamerton, do I not indulge you enough? It’s not that you’ve done many things perfectly. It’s that I’ve
never wanted to calculate them with you!
“But I didn’t expect you to push it and even conspire against Zephyr! What else do you not dare to do!?”
Liam panted harshly, and Clark quickly signaled the bodyguards when he saw it at the door.
The muscular bodyguards darted forward and pinned Matthew and Yale down.
Cordelia poured Liam some tea and sat beside him to give him a massage.
“Grandpa, don’t be mad…” Cordelia gave him a look. “It’s not the time to be angry yet. We have something else…”
Liam was silent for a moment before he nodded and sounded weak. “I know… Cordelia, you handle it. Send that
man to where he should be!”
“Mm, I will.” Cordelia’s gaze was determined.
