Leonard’s cheeks were still red and swollen from my slaps, and he rushed toward his grandfather%
“Grandpal You came just in time! Nicole is acting completely unreasonable!“%
“She’s a shrew! She’s not worthy of being a Stanford Family wife. I must divorce her today.“%
Nelson had arrived, but he did not even spare me a glance.
I watched the scene unfold with interest, dragging a chair over and sitting down leisurely.%
Nelson’s face darkened before Leonard could even finish his sentence.%
Without warning, he swung his cane and struck Leonard’s arm.

‘But from what Mr. Nelson Stanford just said, it doesn’t seem that simple. Could we really be in trouble…”
No one dared to speculate any further!
Nelson continued his punishment, but Leonard had finally had enough.
He caught the crutch mid–swing with frustration #
“That’s enough! I’m sick of hearing this over and over!“)
“Why are you making a fuss over Nicole? Do you not understand how powerful the Winslow Family is in Lumeport? They have deep connections with the big shots in the capital. With their backing, the Stanford Family can finally secure a foothold there’s
