Kate managed to handle her emotions and suppress her anger. For Christina to have the time to sit and snack meant she was in a peaceful state.

Kate wondered why she had called her urgently then.

She was already close to achieving her dream of having a great adventure with Roderick. If not for her sudden call, the lady couldn't imagine the pool of pleasure she would be in at this moment.

Finding her secretary, who had cut off this dream of hers coming to life, having a nice time with her snack and drink nearly made her go mad at her.

However, she kept her cool as she didn't want to overreact.

"Ahem!" She suddenly cleared her throat, notifying Christina of her presence.

"Miss Bolton, it's good that you arrived earlier," Christina said as she got up and turned to look at Kate behind her.

"It's fine. I'm here now. Why did you call me urgently?" Kate walked forward with a slightly frowning face and took a seat.

Christina took one last bite of her chips and quickly cleared the table.

    Roderick's heart clenched instantly with fury upon hearing such horrible statements from Clara. He was immediately consumed by anger but tried his best not to raise a hand.Roderick's stare toward Clara at this moment was deadly. Simply because she wished Oliver Santos dead, Roderick was tempted to put her in her place.However, he tried his best to suppress the anger.It was highly surprising to him that he and Mr. Dalton were the only ones who felt the harshness of such a heartless statement.The rest of the Santos family, who were the biological children of Oliver Santos, didn't feel a thing. It was just a random statement to them.This made Roderick understand that for Clara to be so bold as to say such a thing among family members without holding back a word about it, it must have been a casual statement they say among themselves.Not even a sign of regret or worry appeared on Clara's face for mentioning such an inhumane statement.After Roderick was able to swallow his anger, he

    A quick shock took over the room as they wondered how Roderick had found out about it. They had kept the matter secret among themselves. How did it manage to get to an outsider like Roderick?Clara quickly waved it off to cover their shame. "What are you saying, Roderick? How dare you cook up such a false story against our family and Mr. Quinton?"Roderick was taken aback. He couldn't believe Clara was still trying to cover up for Jonah at this time despite all he had done to them.Undoubtedly, they deserved all that Jonah had brought upon them because they would never learn.With a serious face, Roderick asked Clara, "Does it mean that you are still backing Jonah despite all he did to you?"The family fell silent. With the seriousness in Roderick's voice, they could tell that he knew what he was saying. He wasn't making anything up as Clara had thought.Felicia found no reason to hide this truth from Roderick. After all, they were once family.Since he had already learned about it, s

    Roderick had a serious and stern expression as he asked them.The Santos family felt disgusted by his question, and they were boiling inwardly, eager to answer him.They all had words building up in their minds until Clara replied rudely, "What kind of dumb question is that, Roderick? Besides, how is whatever is happening here any business of yours?"Roderick couldn't believe that Clara, whom he had freed the last time when he got into trouble with him at Eclipse Hotel, could speak to him so rudely.Well, that's what freedom does. Sometimes, freedom makes people forget who they are and what they are worth.Then he replied sharply, "Of course, it has a lot to do with me as far as Grandpa is concerned. This house belongs to him. Why have you come here to turn it upside down?"Clara sneered, "Grandpa? Do you call the long-sleeping old man Grandpa? How are you related to him to call him grandpa?""That's for you to find out! When you get home, you can do some research for the answer. My q

    Shortly, they arrived at the old-fashioned house on Edgebrook Avenue. The door to the house was wide open in an unwelcome manner.Just then, some household items were flung out of the house and crashed onto their car. The person who flung the items didn't even care as they hurriedly returned inside, as if they had more items to throw out.Tony was instantly provoked and was about to hurriedly jump down from the car. His previous mood to crush things overtook him as he quickly bowed before Roderick. "My lord, I guess we are at our destination. Give the order and watch me tear this place down in a minute."Roderick slowly placed a hand on Tony's shoulder to stop him. "Calm down, Tony. We are here for a different reason."Tony, whose temper was already off the fence, impatiently looked into his boss’s eyes. He thought Roderick had agreed to help him destroy the place, which was why he brought him along.Roderick could see many questions on Tony's impatient face. Then, he said to him, "Ta
