Chapter 423 - 416: I’d Like to See How He’ll Treat You, His Lifesaver
Theodore Quinn went on at length, but Sienna Hale only cared about one thing. "So, when all’s said and done, is Clara Grant actually Cedric Grant’s biological daughter or not?"
Theodore Quinn couldn’t help but give a wry smile. "Didn’t we already agree yesterday? That regardless of whether Clara is from the Grant Family or what her background is, we would respect Seth’s wishes. So whether Cedric explains things or not, it doesn’t really have any impact on us."
Sienna Hale opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she just sighed. Although she had listened to her husband’s persuasion and accepted Clara Grant yesterday, deep down, she was still somewhat reluctant.
That was why she had been hoping Cedric Grant would offer a full and detailed explanation today. But she never expected it to end in such an unceremonious way.
She was a little disappointed, but she didn’t dare say anything more about Clara Grant. She could only complain angrily toward the door, "If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the man who saved your life, there’s no way I’d let them get away with this nonsense!"
Theodore Quinn couldn’t help but gaze toward the door as well. He actually agreed with her. However...
"A debt for saving my life is not one I can fail to honor. Let him have his way."
...
After leaving the Quinn’s front gate, Jean Jarvis watched Cedric Grant’s figure not far ahead and took out her phone to make a call.
Once the call connected, she said only one thing, "You don’t need to come," and then hung up immediately.
Cedric Grant walked to his car but didn’t get in right away. Instead, he waited for Jean Jarvis to approach before saying in a commanding tone, "Get in the car!"
His tone was stern, his face filled with rage.
Jean Jarvis, unfazed, got into the car, her expression calm.
Cedric Grant got in the car as well but didn’t say anything. He started the engine, drove for a short distance, and then pulled over to the side of the road again.
The anger on his face had not subsided. He turned to look at Jean Jarvis, his tone still severe. "Who told you to come here?"
Jean Jarvis glanced at him and said, "I came here on my own, of course. Since you’re ignoring Chloe’s pleas and are dead set on whitewashing Clara Grant’s background so she can easily marry into the Quinn Family, then of course I have to stand up for my own daughter."
"You!" Cedric Grant choked with rage. "I explained everything crystal clear to you yesterday! You all know the benefits of Clara Grant marrying into the Quinn Family, so why are you still being so stubborn? What good does it do any of you if Clara Grant can’t marry into the Quinn Family?"
"It does us no good! But it will give Chloe some satisfaction! How many times has she told you? She’s sick of being overshadowed by Clara Grant! She doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life living in her shadow! But you won’t listen! You only care about the Grant Family’s progress and its interests! You don’t care about your own daughter’s feelings! But I’m her mother. My heart aches for her, so I have to stand up for her!"
"You!" Cedric Grant was so furious he was speechless. He suddenly raised his hand, as if to slap her.
But Jean Jarvis fearlessly lifted her chin. "What? You want to hit me? Then go ahead. Hit me. If you’ve got the guts, go on and kill me. But as long as I’m alive, I will never stop fighting you!"
Cedric Grant looked at her face, but in the end, could only clench his hand into a fist before slowly lowering it.
But then he spat viciously, "Keep up this unreasonable nonsense, and I swear I’ll divorce you!"
"I believe you would. But I don’t think you dare." Jean Jarvis suddenly smiled. "If you insist on being so ruthless, then I’ll go tell Theodore Quinn the truth about that incident. We’ll see how he treats his ’savior’ then!"
