Samuel had lost his patience and said to Andrew, “Give me the stick. Today this incident happened because of you three.”
Andrew was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled to himself. He had been dissatisfied with Victoria. If Victoria could catch it, it would be better.
Andrew quickly handed the stick to Samuel. Samuel took the stick and was about to beat Victoria first.
Victoria pulled a long face, but she was not afraid at all. Instead, she felt very uncomfortable, so did Iris. It was a bit too much for Samuel to do this.
When Samuel’s stick fell, Maximilian decisively raised his hand to block it.
The stick in the hand of Samuel suddenly broke in half. Samuel subconsciously lost his balance, took a few steps back, and flopped down into the sofa.
Samuel looked at the broken stick in surprise. He felt both distressed and annoyed. Then he looked at Maximilian angrily but couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Andrew sucked in a breath. The stick was made of special branches, which could be said to be harder than steel.
They never thought that the stick would break so easily. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe that it was true.
“Maximilian, do you know the significance of this stick? How dare you break it?” Andrew questioned Maximilian. In fact, Andrew was also very disgusted with the stick, but he said this to please Samuel.
Maximilian said indifferently, “This stick shouldn’t have existed.”
He felt sad that Samuel always punished others with the stick. This method was too pedantic. A teacher could use a ruler, but the stick was not very useful.
Samuel’s face sank. It was obvious that Maximilian was challenging his authority. Andrew began to stir up trouble, “Dad, he is too arrogant. You should drive him out of the Griffith family.”
“Brother, not right now. If you drive him out of the Griffith family, then he can not take the responsibility. When Gail comes, what shall we do? We can’t let Maximilian off lightly.” Darian quickly waved his hand and said with a sinister smile, “How about handing him over to Gail?”
Andrew considered it carefully and also thought that Darian was right.
At this moment, a young member of the Griffith family ran in and said, “Gail comes with his father.”
“What? Gail is here?” Hearing this news, all the relatives present of the Griffith family turned pale and didn’t respond to it immediately.
They didn’t expect that Gail would come with his father. They felt panic in their hearts, thinking that the Woods had begun to look for trouble.
Everyone immediately fell into despair, thinking that the Woods was finished.
Samuel couldn’t care too much. To protect the Griffith family, he waved his hand and said, “Teach Maximilian a lesson. This can prove our Griffith family’s sincerity.”
At this moment, Samuel just wanted to disassociate himself from Iris and Victoria. Only in this way could he protect the Griffith family.
Samuel asked, “Gail, what’s wrong?”
“Old guy, out of my way!” Gail irritably pushed Samuel. Anyone, who was unkind to Mr. Maximilian, was against him.
When Samuel was pushed away, Maximilian held Samuel and said to Gail indifferently, “How did your father teach you? Is your quality so low?”
Although Samuel was very mean in daily life, he was still Victoria’s grandfather, and also his grandfather. No matter how outrageous Samuel was, Maximilian would not allow him to be bullied like this.
All the people present sucked in a breath and cast sympathetic glances at Maximilian. Old Mr. Woods was right behind him. Maximilian’s words scolded not only Gail but also Old Mr. Woods.
“Sorry, I was a little impatient just now.” After Gail apologized to Samuel without emotion, he turned to Maximilian and said, “Mr. Maximilian, don’t be angry.”
Maximilian knew their purpose in coming. Connor might have explained it. All the people shifted their sights to Old Mr. Woods and concluded that Maximilian was screwed.
They obviously saw that Old Mr. Woods didn’t look well, but what happened next caught them by surprise.
Old Mr. Woods stretched out his hand to Maximilian with a smile, “Mr. Maximilian, what happened today is my son’s fault. You must not take it to heart.”
Andrew et al. couldn’t help but pinch their own muscles, wondering if they had misheard. Old Mr. Woods was never a reasonable person and would not admit his mistakes even if he was wrong. But what happened today was different from what they had thought.
