When hearing that, Stefan looked at him and said, "Grandpa, thank you."
"That's what we should do. I will be happy if you can get along well with her." After saying that, Edison stood up and a servant supported him upstairs, "I am tired. Stefan, just stay for dinner. I need to rest for a while."
After he left, Frank stood up and walked over to Stefan, "Stefan, let me take you out to have a sunbath." His eyes turned to be vicious.
Stefan smiled, "Thank you, Frank."
Seeing that, Paul hurried to follow.
Frank turned around, "You don't need to follow. I am just taking him to have a sunbath."
"But…" Paul hesitated and looked at Stefan.
Stefan still looked emotionless, "Just go to get some nice strawberries in the garden and bring them home for Anayah."
"Yes, sir." Paul turned around and left.
Frank then pushed him out while other servants were staring at them with great surprise. Then they headed for a yard on the right of the mansion, where there was a magnolia tree. As it was April now, it started to blossom with fair white flowers.
Frank stopped under the tree with Stefan sitting on the wheelchair, "Do you remember this tree?" While speaking, he sat on a deck chair beside the tree.
Stefan looked at the flowers, "I do still remember Keegan, you and I were still kids at that time. And you were only seven years old. All of us planted this tree together."
"Grandpa was quite happy at that time. He looked at me with caring eyes. However, Keegan passed away the next year. From then on, you have been the only one whom grandpa always cares about."
"But before that, he used to care for me as well. Why? You are the jinx of the family! It's you who brought the death of Keegan! Why did grandpa still love you so much after that? He even wants to make you the only inheritor!"
"I am the second son! Since our big brother died, I should be the only inheritor, not you!" Frank glared at Stefan with hatred.
Stefan turned around and stared at his face, which looked so much alike their deceased big brother. Then he uttered, "So that was why you wanted to burn me to death when I was sixteen? Just because you want to be the only inheritor?"
Frank was rendered stunned, "What are you talking about? Don't slander me!" He turned to be quite panic. He stood up and stared at Stefan.
"Do you forget that grandpa gave away 40% of the shares for you after that? How dare you just take it for granted! Even though you own it, what can you do with that? You are doomed to a cripple only!" Frank stared at him from above.
Stefan was just looking at the tree quietly. Suddenly, he clenched his fists, on the back of which veins could be clearly seen. A trace of hatred flashed across his eyes.
He raised his head to look at Frank, cold as still, "Though I am a cripple, Frank, let me warn you! You'd better watch everything you have now! When you lose them, you will be nobody!"
Frank bent over and pressed on the wheelchair with both hands, "Oh, I would like to see how a cripple like you can fight against me! Even if grandpa made you the owner of the Byrne Group, you wouldn't have chance to enjoy it."
"Let wait and see!" Looking into his vicious eyes, Stefan smiled.
