Chapter 25
Nox’s grandfather, Will Winter, was once the adjutant of Edward’s father, Zachary Swan. Zachary was once a general of Harken. Later on, due to the change in state power, he abandoned politics and went into business. Will naturally followed Zachary in business, and he vowed to help the Swans manage their business for generations.
“You are! Only an illegitimate child wouldn’t have a father! My grandmother said that your mother only gave birth to you because she was fooling around with some man. Now that your mother is going to marry my second uncle, my second uncle will suffer a huge loss… Ugh…” Octavia suddenly covered her grandson’s mouth.
“That said, I’m a little puzzled. Eldest Young Lady Lawrence is so good-looking. Why is her son so ordinary?” Teddy muttered, “I’m sure her son is like his father. His father probably isn’t good-looking. What a pity for Eldest Young Lady Lawrence’s good genes.”
“Jeremiah!” Damian’s expression also changed. Originally, Jeremiah was going to attend another banquet with his parents today. They only let him come here just to show off. In the end, not only did he not show off, but he also embarrassed them!
At that moment, Octavia hurriedly picked up Jeremiah, who was on the ground, and explained to the others, “This child doesn’t know anything and spoke nonsense. We spoiled him too much… I’ll bring him back now and teach him a good lesson.”
“Why don’t you believe me?!” Jeremiah burst into tears again. At that moment, he even broke free from Octavia’s embrace and rolled on the ground. “That illegitimate child, George, has been lying all along—he has been lying all along!”
As such, Nox was taught from a young age to be loyal to the Swans. In Nox’s understanding, he was born to be a member of the Swans and would die a ghost of theirs! Now that the head of the Swans was Edward, Nox worked for him.
Teddy was an orphan adopted by the Swans. He was only responsible for taking care of Fourth Master Swan’s daily life. He had not received any special education from the Swans, so he was relatively simple-minded.
Octavia quickly carried Jeremiah, who was still throwing a tantrum, and left. She was afraid that he would say something else, causing the Lockes to be completely humiliated!
“You said that I embarrassed you, so you bit me. I only pushed you to break free, which was why I accidentally scratched your face!” George retorted loudly.
Damian immediately smiled apologetically. “Well, my grandson might’ve been… too spoiled indeed. George, I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.”
Teddy sat in the passenger seat. He turned his head and asked, “Young Master Winter, are you talking about Eldest Young Lady Lawrence’s son?”
“Jeremiah, shut up!” Damian looked grimmer. He did not expect his grandson to be so uneducated today. It was simply too embarrassing!
Alexander also tried to mediate the situation. “Isn’t it normal for children to quarrel? If there’s no discord, there’s no concord.”
They felt that he was too sensible. Compared to Jeremiah, who only knew how to behave atrociously, they were like heaven and earth.
“I don’t care, I don’t care. I just want to scratch his face—I just want to!” Jeremiah played a fool, crying and making a scene.
