Seeing how caring their daughter was to them, Grayson and Amelia were truly moved.
She really is our angel, they thought.
"Enough." Harry was getting tired of how dazed his son and daughter-in-law were acting. "Say it. What was the argument about earlier?"
Since his father was questioning him, Grayson dared not remain silent. "It's all because of this woman. She couldn't even dress my wounds properly. It hurt me so much that I got angry and scolded her."
Amelia, who did not have the courage to look at Harry, could only apologize profusely, "It's my fault. I made a mistake. I'll pay more attention in the future."
Her mother's self-abased behavior made Lynette think lower of her as she snorted and turned her head to the other side, seemingly not wanting to speak up for her.
Harry caught Lynette's expression and said, "Stop this. It's nothing major. Arguing in such a loud manner… I thought something had happened. In the future, don't fight over such a minor issue."
"Understood," the husband and wife replied.
Then, Harry looked at his son's thick lips. "But, your lips really are quite serious. Seems like Toby was ruthless. He didn't bother to save the slightest respect for me."
There was a heightened sense of fear toward Toby on top of the dissatisfaction at this point in Harry's heart.
Although Toby had ignored Harry's family for the past few days, which caused Harry to feel awkward, that action didn't create any fear in him.
After all, Toby had said that he was severing all ties with the Lores, but did not really act on his words. More importantly, he did not even nullify their contracts.
This was why he thought that Toby's so-called 'cutting all ties' was just something he said out of anger. Perhaps, he merely wanted to warn us for using his family's name all these years. Otherwise, why would Toby not cancel all our collaborations and announce he would have nothing to do with us to the public?
This was why Harry stayed calm throughout the whole process while still trying to find ways to mend their relationship.
Yet, Toby's actions against his son now made his thoughts waver. Perhaps, this really is wishful thinking. Toby really wants to cut all ties with us and this was not just a simple warning.
Due to this, he really started to panic and felt a sense of impending doom.
"That's right, Grandpa. Toby really went overboard this time. Look at Dad's lips. It'll take a long time for it to fully heal. How could he do this?" Lynette held Harry's arm with a sad expression.
Her expression was not fake as she felt wronged inside. Sadly, this was not directed at her father's injury, but toward herself instead because she felt wrong.
Although she really looked down upon her father, no matter what, Grayson was still her father.
Seeing how Toby hurt her father, she knew that he was telling the Lores he did not want to see Grayson, let alone that daughter of his.
Does Toby really detest me?
She knew that if Toby had the slightest of feelings for her, he would not have assaulted Grayson. This was because hitting her father was akin to striking her dignity!
At that moment, Lynette felt wronged and sad. She felt dejected that her true feelings only amounted to so little in his eyes.
Harry, who felt his granddaughter's feelings, patted her head comfortingly. "Alright now, Lynette, don't be sad. It'll get better. In the future, Toby will listen to our family."
