Chapter 865 We Weren’t Bullying Grandpa

“Then what about Jon? He's a Whitman. I won't object to it if you make him the new leader."

"Are you trying to force my hand?! Stop flattering yourself. I'm far more experienced than you. How dare you play these tricks on me! I may have one foot in the grave, but I can still punish you and make your lives in Docwood difficult!" Harold shouted. Although he was scolding them, he was telling the truth.

Preston had been in jail for several years, but he had not suffered much on account of the family. Preston would have languished in jail if Harold had been serious about punishing him then.

Though he was outraged, Preston did not dare to make a scene. He gave up and sat in an armchair. "I don't give a damn. I'll just be frank. Only Jon or I can be made the leader. Don't even dream of giving the position to someone else."

Trying to curry favor with Harold, Jonathan massaged Harold's shoulders. “Grandpa. we only wish to help you shoulder the burden. We need someone to manage the company. You're old and shouldn't overexert yourself, and it’s unrealistic to rely on your five-year-old grandson."

"You're so eager to get the position when it's uncertain if Joseph is alive or not."

Harold had quit smoking many years ago for his health, but after failing to reach Joseph since yesterday, he had lit up a few cigars out of frustration. There was currently a cigar between his fingers, and smoke hung in the air, making his emotionless wrinkled face look terrifying.

Jonathan shrugged and looked to Preston for help

Losing his patience, Preston said fiercely, “You stubborn old man. I may not be able to talk any sense into you, but you can forget about naming that kid as your heir.”

Preston decided to delay it if he could not persuade Harold otherwise. After all, with Joseph no longer around, the boy was an easy fix. Harold noticed something, so he smacked the table. "What the hell did you do to Jasper?!"

"Greatpapi, I'm fine."

Chloe came in with him. She shot Preston and Jonathan a glare before then asked Harold nervously, © "Grandpa, are you okay?" Shey wondered if they had bullied him.

Preston's eyes widened in shock at Harold's swift change. Jonathan clarified, "We weren't bullying Grandpa. We were just having a discussion.”

"If it's just a discussion, why does he look so frightened?”

Preston and Jonathan were struck speechless. Harold was not scared, so why was he showing fear now? "Jasper, why are you home so late?" Harold asked

The little boy looked toward Preston and received a threatening look from the latter.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Maybe his classes went on longer than usual," Jonathan gave a made-up excuse.

"Really now? It's okay, Jasper. You can tell me."
