Liam did not say anything.
He looked at Matthew and Yale coldly. The seconds of silence felt like the study room was thrown into a vacuum. There was immense pressure hanging just above their heads as their lips quivered, and they stayed quiet.
Suddenly, Liam picked up the crystal ashtray on the table and hurled it toward them.
“B*stards!”
“Ah!” Yale, whose reflexes were fast, crouched down, hugging his head. While Matthew was not hit, he did not manage to avoid it, and the ashtray landed right by his foot.
Liam was furious. “You… Hah, my dear son and grandson! How did the Hamertons have pieces of trash like you two!?”
They were not just pieces of trash! They were fools! So much for an unsought confession.
Cordelia watched everything indifferently.
“Take your son and leave!” Liam picked up his cane and hit Matthew’s calf.
The jolt of pain made Matthew yowl. As if this hit was cursed, it also crushed the last of father and son love left in him.
With a pale face, Matthew balled up his hands and slowly showed the fierceness in his eyes.
“Yale and I are pieces of trash!?” He gritted his teeth. “Old man, you have no right to teach me this lesson!”
“You…” Liam’s eyes went wide.
Aside from Zephyr, no one had dared argue back like this! However, it felt completely different when Zephyr did it and when Matthew did it!
Liam was more or less tolerant of his precious grandson, but he could not take even one second of it when it came to this sc*m of a son.
“Matthew Hamerton, I’ll say this one last time.” Liam stared right into his eyes. “Take your useless son and get out of the manor!”
