Greyson swallowed hard and his eyes were bloodshot.
He gritted his teeth. Blue veins stood out on his temples. But he did not say a word.
"Greyson, you are no longer a child. Don't be so impulsive, or you will not only harm yourself, but also involve sister-in-law and the two children. You have to know that you are not alone and cannot act recklessly." Angela said.
Tears flew down Greyson's cheeks and he stiffened, "Can't... go back to the old days?"
"Yes." Angela looked down and nodded, her fingers clutching the corner of her coat.
Greyson shook and took a breath, "I tried my best to improve my abilities, but still..."
"Can't go back to the old days." Angela said the second half of his words for him, "Greyson, you work hard now. It can only let you live a better life and not be fooled. But even if you try harder and are better and as powerful as James, we can't go back to the old days."
Greyson squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and cried out in pain.
Angela looked down at him and sighed softly. She felt tortured by sadness.
"What's going on?" There was so much commotion that Lorenzo hurried up, "Greyson, Cleo told me that you and James had a fight. Is it true?"
Elva followed behind him, staring straight at the door of the room with an unconcealed look of trepidation on her face. Unable to see what happened inside the room, she turned to look at Angela. When she saw those marks on Angela's neck, she was slightly relieved.
"Why can't I have a fight with him?!" Greyson stood up and looked at Lorenzo angrily. His eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, "I just can't stand that bastard, and I can't stand you! If you weren't so selfish, how could things have turned out like this?"
Lorenzo was confused by his sudden anger and said angrily, "What is wrong with you?"
"It's all your fault. You caused all of this. I will never forgive you in my life!" Greyson roared fiercely and rushed down the stairs.
Looking at him rushing out of the villa, Lorenzo was puzzled. He turned his head and asked Angela, "What's going on? What's wrong with your brother?"
"Nothing." Angela said faintly.
Lawson Harvey's comment firmly rooted in Lorenzo's heart, just like a fish thorn.
He didn't bother with Greyson, looked at the closed door, and asked, "Is James inside? Call him out and I have something to ask him."
"It's not... convenient right now. You can ask him later." Elva said with a nervous face. Then, she pushed Angela and said, "It's all right. Hurry inside and don't let James wait."
Lorenzo was confused, "What do you mean? How do you know it is not convenient for James now?"
"Angela, hurry up and go inside." Elva urged Angela. Before Angela could answer, Elva opened the door and pushed her inside, closing the door behind her.
Angela looked at the closed door and heard the sound of her parents arguing outside.
She pursed her lips, locked the door, and walked to James.
