Hearing this, the faces of the people in the hall screwed up again, but the Lewis family had a strict parenting. And they, being the younger generation, could not say anything about the old man at this moment.
Danis was so angry that his handsome face was green, "That Timothy workds in Dream Club, and now everyone knows that she......"
He found it difficult to say, "Being pregnant with your child, do you know what people are saying about the Lewis and Smith families now?"
"She was forced to sell sex because of her family, bow to necessity, no one can blame her."
Charles frowned, "As for what others say, it's out of our hands, and we don't need to bother."
Danis strained his neck, his handsome face was red, the veins on his forehead were popping, and his lips couldn't stop trembling, "I grew up respecting you and following your example everywhere, but I didn't expect you to not feel ashamed after doing such an immoral thing. You still want to use these sophomoric reasons to convince us!"
Charles changed his face and grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Danis.
The teacup smashed into Danis's head, warm tea flowing down his cheeks, then the teacup fell to the ground with a clatter and cracked into pieces.
Charles stood up and looked at Danis angrily with an livid face, "Danis, I taught you etiquette and upbringing since you were young, and this is how you talk to your elders?"
"Danis!" Adeline couldn't help herself. She trotted to Danis and looked at the blood seeping out from his head, her heart was aching, "It's all bleeding, does it hurt?"
Danis pursed his lips tightly, gazing on Charles.
"Grandpa, my brother is angry and he's just speaking without going through his mind."
Jessica pushed her wheelchair over and said softly.
"You don't want to bother yourself arguing with the likes of him."
After saying that, she turned to Danis, "Danis, you should quickly apologize to Grandpa, look how angry Grandpa is about you."
"I'm telling the truth."
Danis clenched his fist and fixed his eyes at Charles, "A man in his seventies and a twenty year old woman from the brothel are having an affair, making it known to public that the woman is pregnant and he is still unrepentant, you are not worthy of my respect!"
He said, word by word, under Charles's gloomy gaze.
"You, are, a, rascal!"
Charles was a respected man both at home and outside. Upon hearing Danis describing him like that, his anger rubbed off on him, "Go away, I don't have this treacherous grandson like you!"
"Dad, Danis is just a little kid, why are you being pushy with him?"
Adeline turned to look at Charles and snarled sharply.
She turned around and took Danis's hand to comfort him, but he flung her away with one hand.
Danis snorted coldly, his amber eyes filled with anger, "Okay, I don't want to have a grandfather like you who doesn't know shame either - shame on you!"
He finished wiping a handful of blood from his head and strode off.
The crowd in the hall looked at each other, and finally looked at Charles in unison and advised,
"Dad, you don't have to disown Danis as your grandson for the sake of a woman from a brothel, do you?"
"You're already in your seventies. The girl named Timothy, must hook with you without good intentions, right? As for the baby in her belly, it's not even clear who the father is!"
"My wife is right, Dad. Even if that baby is yours, you will allow that woman to give birth to it?
Your great grandson is even four years old!"
They were talking one by one, and the whole hall was a mess, as noisy as a vegetable market.
Charles's face sank as he sat on the sofa and slapped the table heavily, "Shut up, all of you!"
Everyone immediately shut up, and the hall was instantly silent to hear a pin drop.
"Jessica, what do you think?"
Charles changed his face, poured a cup of tea and took a sip. Then he looked at Jessica.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Jessica.
Jessica bit her lip and said slowly.
