"Well, it's not your fault." Wayne sighed and looked at Claire tenderly. "You did nothing wrong. I'm glad that you came here to apologize."
"Thank you, grandpa." Claire bent over to express her thanks.
Seeing that Wayne was so reasonable, Eden also bent over and said, "Thank you for forgiving Claire, grandpa."
A smile appeared on Wayne's face. "Think about it carefully. It's that bastard who should apologize. If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have come to this point. And as an elder, I also have a certain responsibility. I didn't discipline them well."
Seeing that he mentioned Frank again, no one answered. After all, it was the Gu family's business. Lily, Claire and Claire naturally wouldn't interfere.
Eric and Angela, on the other hand, didn't know how to respond. They didn't want others to hear that they were trying to sow dissension between them.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Wayne looked at Claire and continued, "Your engagement to that bastard is invalid and you have suffered a lot. If he hadn't played tricks, you wouldn't have been involved. Speaking of this, we have to apologize to you."
"No, no, grandpa." Claire was a little flattered. She had heard about it. At first, she couldn't figure out why she woke up in the same bed with Frank. After hearing the truth a few days ago, she understood. It turned out that Frank had been scheming since then.
But she was also scheming against him at that time. After hearing her mother's words, she thought that the marriage with the eldest son of the Gu family would bring benefits to the Qiao family in business, and she would also be valued in front of her grandfather. Therefore, she did not care about the reason and decided to engage him verbally.
However, so many things had happened.
After chatting with Claire for a while, Wayne turned to Angela and said, "Tell the Richard to call lawyer to come to our house tomorrow morning."
Angela looked at him subconsciously, but she didn't ask anything, but said, "I know, father."
Hearing the word "lawyer", Eric couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He looked at his grandfather subconsciously and didn't know what he was going to do.
"And..." Wayne pursed his lips and said gloomily, "Ask Simon and Frank to stay at home tomorrow morning. I have something to tell them."
"I'll let them know." Angela replied.
"Okay." Wayne closed his eyes and waved at them, "Get out, I'm tired."
It was known to all that Wayne was not in good health, so when he said so, everyone left the room one after another.
When they arrived at the living room, Claire and Eden didn't intend to stay any longer after reaching the goal of this trip, so that they said goodbye to Angela, Lily and Eric and leave.
But as soon as the two turned around, they met Frank who just came back from outside.
Frank had always hated Claire for uploaded the video on the Internet. At the sight of her, the anger hidden in the bottom of his heart immediately erupted.
He pointed at Claire angrily, "How dare you come here? Who let you upload the video online? But now, you have ruined the Gu family's reputation, and the Gu family is in turmoil. Are you satisfied?"
Faced with the sudden scold, Claire was obviously not able to react. She even looked at him in a daze.
However, Eden reacted. He frowned and looked at Frank, "Frank, how dare you criticize Claire? Have you ever thought about who caused all these things? How dare you curse Claire? Do you still have a clear estimation of yourself?"
"It's all her fault!" Frank glared at Claire, "How could this happen if she didn't post the video online..."
Slap!
A slap broke Frank's words and echoed throughout the living room.
It was Claire who slapped Frank. She gathered all her strength and slapped him so hard that he tilted his head and even blushed.
This sudden change made everyone confused and looked at them.
Claire trembled with anger, "Frank, why do you blame me? Why don't you think about who caused all this? If it weren't for you, would I have done that? Will grandpa be mad and sick, and will the Gu company be implicated?"
Frank turned his head slowly and looked at Claire in disbelief. "How dare you hit me?"
Claire sneered, "You are talking nonsense here. You deserve it!"
"You, you..." Pointing at Claire, Frank was speechless.
Eden thought he was going to make a move, so he pulled Claire behind him and looked at Frank vigilantly. "Frank, use your brain to think about who is wrong with this matter. Don't be like a mad dog and bite others."
This was probably the worst thing he had ever said.
"Enough!" At this time, Eric came over and stood in front of Frank. He looked at him with deep eyes and said, "Don't you think it's not a big deal? Do you want to keep making trouble? Grandpa is resting upstairs. Do you want to disturb him?"
As soon as Frank heard the two words "grandpa", he immediately became depressed. Now the only person he feared most in this family was only Wayne.
Therefore, he could only glare at the two.
