Chapter 1382 "Quit all that nonsense! You better explain from A to z what happened. What else are you hiding from me?" Maximillian had been deceived for many years; he wanted the truth now.
"I..." Henry was at a loss for words. He had done so many bad things that he did not know where to start.
But Jared might expose him, so he chose not to tell the truth. Maximillian would hate him even more if that were to happen!
So, Henry gritted his teeth and began crying, "l-l was wrong... I asked people to knock you and did the trick at the hospital. I-I'm worse than a beast. Dad, please forgive me!"
Of course, Maximillian had known about these already. But when he heard Henry admitting to it on his own, his heart began to stir.
'How did I raise such a useless and disrespectful son? And after years of upbringing, he actually tried to kill me! What a rebel!'
"What you did was attempted murder. How do you expect grandpa to forgive you? Even if he does, the law would not easily let go of you." Jared looked at Henry coldly. Everything that had fallen on Henry was brought upon him on his own.
"Y-you want to send me to jail?" Henry's face turned pale. If he did go to jail, his life would be ruined forever.
"Are there any other options? Who should I ask to compensate for my parents' lives?" Speaking of his parents darkened Jared's eyes. It was so dark that it seemed like he was about to kill people.
When Maximillian heard Jared's words, he was immediately stunned," What do you mean your parents' lives?"
It was apparent that Henry was also frightened by Jared's words, for his whole body was shaking.
"Y-you know about it?"
Jared's eyes were as cold as ice and sharp as a knife. He stared at Henry coldly, "Why do you think I came back?"
A thunder roared.
As if his world came crashing down, Henry could not continue kneeling and dropped to the ground.
"Jared, what are you talking about?" Maximillian immediately turned pale. He trembled and looked at Jared as his heart began to stir.
Jared knew it was time, so he decided to tell Maximillian what he had kept in his heart for a long time.
"Grandpa, Henry murdered mum and dad."
Instantly, Maximillian became dizzy as if his entire world had collapsed.
"Sir!” The house butler was quick to react, and he supported Maximillian. Only then did he not fall to the ground; he sank into the sofa instead. But he only managed to return to his senses after a long while.
Looking at Jared, Maximillian's heart ached, "Have you been keeping this to yourself all these years?"
'When Jared's parents passed away, he was only a teenager. And yet he had to endure the secret for so many years. On top of that, Henry's children chased him out of the country.'
At that moment, Maximillian was utterly heartbroken.
'The only competent grandson of mine had to go through so many hardships! I have failed as a grandfather!'
