Joseph pointed at Raymond’s nose and shouted angrily, “Raymond! Have you lost your mind?! Look carefully! The one lying here is your own brother!

“You ungrateful bastard–you actually dared to make a deadly move against your brother?!

“Don’t think that just because you’ve been doing well in Grandridge these past two years that you’re so impressive.

“You’re only successful because you carry the Newton name. Without the Newtons, you’re nothing!”

Raymond shrugged indifferently.

“I actually wish my mom had taken me away back then and never looked back. I don’t care about anything related to you at all.

“You can take back all the shares in my hands and give them to your precious youngest son. Your money should be enough to support him for a few years.

“As for what happens afterward? Well, you probably won’t live to see it anyway.”

“You! Are you cursing me to die?! Cursing our family to collapse?! I’ll beat you to death!”

Joseph grabbed a nearby vase and hurled it at him. Raymond didn’t dodge. He just stood there, letting his father strike him.

Bang!

The vase smashed into his forehead, shattering on impact. Blood streamed down from his wound, dripping onto the floor.

Sabrina, who had just arrived, witnessed the scene. She cried out and rushed forward to stop it.

“Ah! Joseph, what are you doing?!”

“I’m going to beat this ungrateful son to death!”

Sabrina ordered someone to pull Joseph away, then called a doctor to treat Raymond’s forehead immediately.

With concern in her voice, she asked, “Raymond, was it really you who arranged for someone to hit Duncan? Why did you do this?”

Before Raymond could answer, Jillian hurried to speak first.

“What else could it be for? To fight for the Newtons‘ inheritance! He’s just like his mother. He never tolerated the three of us!

“And it’s all because of that bitch Agnes! Sabrina, that bitch is a jinx! Not long after she entered this family.

“She even harmed Ursa! Someone like her shouldn’t be allowed to stay in our family! She should-”

“Enough!” Sabrina snapped. “You speak nonsense all day long. Don’t think that my eyes are failing just because I’m old. I’m not blind!

“I know exactly who everyone is. Since Agnes married Raymond, she has always behaved properly.

“She has treated the Newtons and Raymond with nothing but devotion. As for you, Jillian–do you even remember your place?!

“If you hadn’t given birth to two children for our family, do you think I’d allow you to join this family?!”

Jillian’s face stiffened. Back then, she had indeed done something disgraceful.

Even though she knew Joseph was a married man, she still got involved with him and secretly gave birth to two children. In truth, she had climbed her way up from being a mistress to become his wife.

Grinding her teeth, she snapped, “Why bring up all that old history now?! I never demanded a title back then!

“I waited until his mother died-”

Realizing she misspoke, she quickly corrected herself. “I mean, later Joseph came to find me himself and said he would give me a title.”

Sabrina let out a mocking laugh.

“Raymond did go too far this time. But how have you treated him all these years? Do you want me to go through every single incident with you one by one?”

Jillian’s confidence visibly weakened when she heard that. Joseph stood to the side, looking troubled and deep in thought.

Angry words aside, no matter how he looked at it, Joseph would never take back the shares in Raymond’s

hands.

His younger son was young, spoiled, reckless, wasteful, and a complete mama’s boy. He had no ability whatsoever to manage the Newton Group.

Deep down, Joseph knew that Raymond was the most capable successor in every aspect–the one most qualified to carry the family forward.

But he absolutely couldn’t tolerate conflict between brothers.

From what he heard, Jillian must have done something to Raymond that drove him to such extreme behavior.

Sabrina declared, “That’s enough for today. Duncan’s leg is injured, but his life is not in danger.

“If anyone causes trouble again in the future, I’ll throw them out of the Newtons!

“As long as I’m still alive, I won’t spare them!”
