“What? You’re…a descendant of the Summer family?” Old Master Shaw looked at Grace in disbelief. “Dear child, your father is Joseph Summer, the old leader of the island?”Grace looked at Old Master Shaw. “You should know my father, he’s the former leader of this island.”Old Master Shaw was dumbfounded. He knew Joseph Summer not because he was the former leader of Star Island. After all, he had just arrived here. He knew Joseph because back when he was just a teenager, he had studied in the best military school abroad, and that was where he had accepted financial aid from Joseph. It wasn’t a big amount, only a hundred dollars or so. But he always believed a drop of kindness should be returned tenfold, or even more. Old Master Shaw's heart ached for her sad encounter. “My dear girl! Don’t worry, leave this to me! I will beat him until he divorces his wife and officially take you as his legal and rightful wife. But, you mentioned just now the person you love is Sean Ford?”Grace nodd

“This time, no matter what, someone has to be sacrificed, and what’s wrong with sacrificing Grace Summer alone? I already tried my best to reduce our losses as much as I could. That’s right, doing so is unfair to Grace. But there is nothing much that is fair in this world. As the only wife to the director of the Ford Group, I have to be ruthless!” Rose was a gifted orator, she sounded sad and pitiful, and yet loyal and righteous. Old Master Shaw had nothing to say in rebuke. In the end, the old man left Sean and Rose’s house with his tail tucked between his feet. But, how was he going to explain himself to Grace when he got home? That night, Old Master Shaw wandered along the streets of Star Island until the wee hours of the morning. The next morning, he trudged home with heavy footsteps. The moment he stepped into the living room, he saw Grace sitting on the sofa with her pregnant belly. It was obvious that Grace did not have a wink of sleep throughout the night. Seeing the old

And also because the newborn babies were indeed innocent. “Uncle Shaw, what do you want to do! Don’t tell me you want to allow this woman to move into the family residence with her children, and wait for them to chase me out in the future?” Rose asked him with gritted teeth.Old Master Shaw replied without a moment’s hesitation. “Get her to be your slave and make sure her children can never inherit any part of the Lynch Group. When they grow into teenagers and are able to survive independently, then we will exile the three of them abroad, and leave them to their own devices. This is enough to ease your mind of all the potential familial problems, right?”Rose was speechless. She turned and looked at Sean, who sighed in despair. Rose then shifted her eyes to Old Master Shaw. “Uncle Shaw, you promised!” Old Master Shaw nodded. “I promise! As long as I’m alive, I will definitely have your back. If that doesn’t satisfy you, I can even write you a contract!”As long as he could pro

Actually, he knew very well that Sean intended to leave the island. He had also retracted all of the infrastructure, factories, and the like back to South City. But Sean did not want to destroy the island. He even hated the thought of cutting ties completely with Ben Payne. Maybe in the future, there might be a chance for them to cooperate. Sean was not a stupid man, he would not destroy opportunities for development with his own two hands. Sean asked to see the old man not only to suppress him, but also to comfort him.At that moment, Old Master Shaw was looking at Ben Payne confidently.“Alright!” Ben agreed straightforwardly. Old Master Shaw heaved a sigh of relief. He returned to Grace’s ward and told her, “My dear girl, the matter has been agreed to. From now on, you have to give one of your sons to the Payne family.”Tears flowed down her face as she nodded. “I know…”“So let us sign an agreement, only the two of us shall know of this secret. And the Payne family. Neither

And Old Master Shaw asked Grace to forget the child and never ever mention him again.That was why, until the moment Grace passed away, Old Master Shaw clearly knew what she was trying to say and yet he still kept the truth hidden. Because the moment the secret was exposed, it would cause problems in both South City and Star Island. But Old Master Shaw could not predict the following actions that Sebastian took, and neither could he control him. Sebastian’s strength and influence that he amassed abroad had far surpassed the old man’s expectations. He also did not expect Sebastian to be so determined to visit Star Island.Later on, when his entire focus shifted to Selene, he started to lose all his fair-mindedness, all his just and equitableness, maybe because his age was starting to catch up with him. But he kept his promise all along and never exposed the secret to anyone. He thought he would take this secret with him to the grave, but to save his granddaughter, the old man finally
