Chapter 650 Frederick's face turned crimson red, and his breathing gradually quickened.
Just as everyone thought that he was going to leave in anger, Frederick started to roll up his sleeves and broke into tears.
"Is there anyone in this world who doesn't acknowledge their own family? It's not that we don't want you on purpose. It's all the Willsmith family's fault. What have we done wrong?" He looked depressed.
Then, he raised his tearless eyes and glanced at Jake, saying, "In any event, | won't be leaving today until you acceptas your grandpa. You may as well beatup and throwout if you don’t give a damn." He slouched on the couch as if he had already made up his mind to remain.
Arthur was dumbfounded.
He looked at his father in disbelief. He had never thought that his hot-tempered and prideful father would pull such a stunt.
Meanwhile, Graham and Jake slightly frowned.
Graham arched one of his eyebrows and demanded angrily, "Old Quincy, do you still have any shame?" He really wanted to stop talking to Frederick.
Frederick chuckled coldly, Old Lockwood, you finally stopped pretending now, have you? | know that the Lockwood family is powerful and has a high status. No one dares to touch you or your family. However, we, the Quincy family, are not asking for anything from you. Naturally, we are not afraid of you. If my grandson doesn't accepttoday, I'll stay at your house and not leave. | want to stay and get to know my grandson [x better!" Graham's face gradually darkened.
Jake's face turned sour as well.
He really did not expect the Quincy family to act like this.
Frederick seemed to think that he had made a good move. As he patiently unwrapped each present he had brought, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Jake, look, this is the clothes, toys, hat, and socks | bought for my great-granddaughter. Look, | even bought diapers for her." He pushed the huge pile of things toward Jake.
Jake frowned and took a step back. Coldly, he said, "Sir Frederick, you don't have to do this. We don’t have any relationship, to begin with. What you're doing is unnecessary." "Look, you're right to think that way. We don't have any love between us, that's why I'm here to get to know you better! It's alright, the two of us will naturally get closer to each other after spending more ttogether. When the tcomes, you'll definitely be more than willing to callyour grandpa," Frederick replied.
Jake held back his tongue this time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had never seen such a thick-skinned person.
And this person was his biological grandfather.
In fact, the Quincy family people had done nothing to harm him. As they said, the Quincy family had no idea that he was harmed by Jasper.
After missing out for nearly 30 years, the Quincy family had indeed done nothing wrong.
It was fine for them to cand acknowledge him as part of the Quillon family.
But he... didn't want to do so.
He really felt that there was no need to accept them as family.
Wouldn't it be better for them to remain as strangers? So many years had passed without them ever interacting. Wouldn't it be best that they avoid bothering one another in the future? Jake really didn't know what to say to Frederick and Arthur.
So he turned to look at Graham for help.
Graham understood the look in Jake's eyes and immediately huffed out loud. He pointed angrily at Frederick and demanded angrily, Old Quincy, aren't you too thick-skinned? Don't think that I don't know what your motive is.
Before this, you've sent your men to Mr. Lyons’s hto steal the experimental data of the crystal potion. Now that you've chere, trying so hard to make Jake accept you as family, are you trying to make use of Jake?" Jake's heart skipped a beat. He threw a glance at Frederick and immediately understood everything.
No wonder Frederick was so willing to give up his face to pull such a shameless stunt. It turned out that he had other motives.
At the thought of this, Jake's eyes grew cold.
Frederick couldn't take it anymore. Putting his hands on his hips, he screamed at Graham, "Bah, Old Lockwood! You're looking down on me! I'm putting my cards on the table here! Even if it's not for the crystal potion, I'll still acknowledge my grandson." Graham glared at him and snorted, "There, there. Your true colors are showing, right?" Frederick was instantly dissatisfied and bit back, "Alright, since you want to make it sound like that, then I'll make it clear today. | don't want your crystal potion or whatever you're going to give me! I'm here to make my grandson accept me. Alright? Are you still unhappy about it?" "Dad!" Arthur's expression changed when he saw his father's determined expression.
He slapped his forehead out of desperation.
"You... Old Quincy! That's good of you!" Graham was so furious that he was at a loss for words.
As his rage grew, so did the quivering in the hand he was pointing at Frederick. He then waved his hand and started heading toward the second floor.
"Emma, Emma! Someone is bullyingand our grandson-in-law. Cand seek justice for us!" He couldn't win the argument with Frederick, so he went off to tattletale.
Damon had not left the house. Instantly, his expression soured at the sound of his brother's cries. He turned to Colin and said, "He's really getting more and more ridiculous as he gets older. Doesn't he find it embarrassing?" Damon's tone was filled with disdain.
Colin was busy teaching Kieran how to write, so he made no response to Damon's remarks.
Emma was busy playing with the two newborn babies. Clearly, she couldn't care less about seeking justice for Graham.
Arthur, a headache growing in his head, stared at his smug father in the living room. Then, he looked at Jake and said awkwardly, "Jake, your grandfather is sincere about having you back. Don't blhim." Jake looked at them with a blank face and said, You two really don't have to do this. You should return." As he spoke, he wanted nothing more to do with them. He turned around and left the room.
Everyone upstairs heard the commotion downstairs.
Isabella and Draxton heard it too. When they saw Jake cup, Isabella went up and asked him, "The Quincy family cto look for you?" Jake nodded, "Just ignore them. As long as they don't get what they want, they won't botheranymore." Isabella pondered for a moment and said, "What if they actually cfor you and they truly want you back?" Jake was silent for a moment before he answered, "We've missed out on each other's lives for so many years. It's better to just consider each other as relatives. It's not easy to grow any feelings for them." Although the Quincy family was insisting on wanting him back, in fact, everyone knew that there was no affection between them.
"The Quincy family are so strange..." Isabella muttered.
Frederick had indeed refused on leaving, but the Lockwood family didn't kick him out.
When it was tto eat, Frederick and Arthur walked over to join them. The Lockwood family didn't bother much since there was more than enough food for everyone.
At first, Arthur's cheeks began to boil with embarrassment. That would have been a huge embarrassment to refuse to leave someone's home.
He was so embarrassed that he didn't even want the crystal potion anymore. He just wanted to drag his father and leave as soon as possible.
However, Frederick didn't feel pressured at all. Instead, he argued with Graham all the time, looking very smug about it.
After a few days, Arthur gradually got used to it. He, too, felt that there was nothing to be ashamed of.
On the day Livvy reached her first full moon, Mr. Lyons suddenly called Draxton and told him that the experiment on the crystal potion was a great success.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat did this successful experiment mean? This meant that they had solved the secret of the crystal potion.
From then on, they could produce the crystal potions themselves and control the dosage.
Those who injected themselves with the crystal potion would not only protect themselves from the effects of the crystal potion, but they would also fortify their bodies, expand their longevity, and enhance their ability to engage in battle. As a result, they would produce a mystical impact that is impossible to fathom.
One can only imagine the deadly might of such an army if it were to be formed.
In time, the widespread use of such a potion would ultimately constitute an unprecedented step forward for all of humanity.
The average human life expectancy would increase beyond what was now imaginable, human bodies would becstronger, and many formerly deadly illnesses, including viruses, would no longer be a concern.
The combination of technological advancement and the temptation was sufficient to alter the course of human history.
This was what the crystal potion experiment was really about.
Wasn't this the reason why there was such a huge interest in taking part in the crystal potion experiment back when it was being conducted? Draxton put down the phone and told Isabella in a grave tone, "From now on, we will have to strengthen our defense. We can't afford to make any mistakes with the crystal potion's experiment results. I'll have to find Mr.
Lyons." Isabella nodded and Draxton ran out of the room.
This, however, would be impossible to keep under wraps. It didn't take more than two days for the word to reach the ears of various forces.
Several people contacted Isabella to inquire about the news.
Jared, Harlow, Malakai, and the others from Southeast Aelinne also called to ask Isabella about it.
Isabella didn't keep anything from them. She just advised them not to act hastily while she waited for the President and Mr. Lyons’ arrangements.
Floyd also cto inquire about it. Isabella told him she would sell the end product of the crystal potion that would make his body stronger and make him live longer.
People kept coming to Isabella to ask her about the crystal potion.
Some, though, chose not to ask her. They were scheming and plotting to get their hands on the crystal potion.
