I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 114

“Grandfather...” Franklin was about to see something, but Duncan stopped him and said coldly,

“Leave that woman.”

Hearing the ice-cold order from his grandfather, suddenly, Franklin squinted at Duncan, “Did you investigate on me, grandfather?”

His eyes became colder.

Duncan snorted, “You started all of this and brought us such a strong enemy. I am the patriarch of this big family. Shouldn’t I know the whole story? Or should I just let you keep bringing us troubles?’”

“Are you afraid of the Shaw family, grandfather? You are afraid of a young lamb from the Shaw family. That’s why people say the Cordon family is inferior that the Shaw family.”

Before Franklin could finish, Duncan grabbed the cane beside him and threw it towards Franklin in a tough way, “Shut up!” Though the old man appeared to be tough outwardly, he was timid inwardly. But now his gray eyes opened wide and stared at Franklin, his grandson, in fury.

Among his peer in the Cordon family, Franklin was the most prominent one. But he was lazy. Duncan had always thought his future was promising, but who knew that he would bring the Cordon family such a strong foe?

Though people had been saying that the Cordon family was inferior to the Shaw family, no one dared to talk about this in front of Duncan. Now his face went red with rage...This was a big anxiety to him!

Now, Franklin almost became a different person from who he used to be. When the cane was thrown at him, he was so stubborn that he didn’t even move to avoid it and just let his grandfather keep beating him again and again.

The butler behind couldn’t bear to watch any more and persuaded Duncan by saying, “Please don’t be angry, my Lord. Young master is still young and don’t understand many things. With your instructions and teaching, he will be better.”

Then Duncan shouted to Franklin in rage, “Stopping seeing that woman!”

Franklin clenched his hands and stared at Duncan angrily, “Impossible!”

“Say that again!” The fire in Duncan’s heart was just put out, now it began growing again, “Franklin, you say that again!”

If you said so！

“I said, I would never give up on her!”

“You!” Duncan’s chest was heaving heavily, “Fine! Fine, fine, fine! Your wings are tough now!” While scolding Franklin, Duncan turned to fetch the cane that was thrown away by him before, “Elton, where is the cane? Cane!”

The butler standing behind was full of anxiety and kept hiding the cane behind his back. Then he looked at Franklin, “Young master, your grandfather was an old man now. Please just nod your head and agree to him.”

But Franklin’s charming face was full of recalcitrance. He pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

“Cane!” Duncan stared at Elton furiously and reached his hand to him, “Elton! Give me the cane!”

“Young master!” Elton still wanted to persuade Franklin.

Franklin gritted his teeth and said, “Elton, give him the cane.”

Duncan got more furious and his chest was heaving more heavily. He snatched the cane from Elton’s hand and threw it at Franklin’s back again, “You are tough now?”

“You are out of leash now?” The cane was thrown at Franklin’s arm this time and left blood there.
