My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: I Won’t Allow Anyone to Hurt Her

Damien Vaughn couldn’t believe his grandfather would do something so absurd.

If Candy hadn’t secretly sent him an SOS message from her watch phone, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

’I finally got here and stopped this whole farce, and he still won’t give up?’

"Grandfather."

After the old man finished his tirade, Damien Vaughn looked at him, utterly exhausted.

"My mother’s death is in the past. Why can’t you let it go? Will throwing them off this roof bring Mom back to life? Do you think you won’t be held responsible? Why do you insist on making things more complicated? You’re at an age where you should be enjoying a peaceful retirement. I am capable of handling this. Why must you drag yourself into this vortex of hatred?"

Old Mr. Vaughn couldn’t believe Damien Vaughn would say something so outrageous.

’It’s true, throwing the mother and daughter off wouldn’t bring his daughter-in-law back to life. So that meant he should just tolerate them?’

’By his grandson’s logic, no murderer should ever have to pay for their crimes. After all, the victim is already gone, so what’s the point in punishing the killer!’

"But Cecelia Archer isn’t a murderer!"

For some reason, Damien Vaughn was full of conviction as he swore to his grandfather.

"Cecelia absolutely isn’t. Can’t you trust me, just this once?"

’If he’d actually been there, it might be forgivable for him to say something like that. But he had been all the way in Norport.’

His own mother had been murdered, yet here he was, adamantly defending the culprit. Old Mr. Vaughn was so furious he could only laugh.

"I thought you were just blinded by some woman, but now I see you’ve lost your mind completely! Damien Vaughn, you are a profound disappointment. For a woman with a bastard child, you’ve not only betrayed your own mother, but you’ve also turned yourself into a fool. How did I end up with such a brainless, wretched excuse for a grandson!"

Damien Vaughn didn’t want to go around in circles.

"We’ve reached this point. There’s nothing more to say. As far as I’m concerned, Cecelia is innocent, and I won’t let anyone harm her."

"Disown me, kick me out of the Vaughn Family—I’ll accept it all. I am never leaving her again."

"You! You think I don’t have the guts to deal with you? You’re threatening me? For her, you’d throw away the Vaughn Family? Very well! A wretched grandson like you is useless to me. Go to hell with them!"

As he spoke, the old man shouted at the security guards behind him.

"All of you, get over here! Throw them all off!"

No one dared to move.

The old man was clearly speaking out of anger. This was the president of the Vaughn Group, after all.

When Old Mr. Vaughn saw them standing still, his anger reached a boiling point.

Gritting his teeth, he actually stood up from his wheelchair.

He pointed his cane at the group of security guards.

"Are you all deaf?! Don’t you want your jobs anymore? If you don’t, then scram! I’ll get on the phone and have you all replaced right now!"

He had put it that way. No one wanted to lose their job, especially not this well-paying, low-stress position with the Vaughn Family.

’He couldn’t really mean to harm President Vaughn. It’s just a scare tactic.’ With that thought, everyone rushed forward.

Damien Vaughn maintained his posture, one arm holding Candy, the other around Cecelia, not moving an inch.

Several bodyguards worked together, snatching Candy from his arms and restraining both him and Cecelia.

Damien Vaughn still didn’t resist, watching the old man with a blank expression.

"Are you sure about this, Grandfather? If you go through with it, the bond between us as grandfather and grandson is well and truly over."

’Even now, he’s still so stubborn? Still defying me?’

The old man slammed his cane on the ground several times and roared with all his might.

"What are you standing around for? Throw the little bastard first! Throw that little bastard off right now!"

The bodyguard holding Candy immediately turned and rushed toward the edge of the rooftop.

He moved so fast that Candy felt the wind whistling past her ears, and she burst into terrified tears in his arms.
