Chapter 650
Frederick's face turned crimson red, and his breathing gradually quickened.
Just as everyone thought that he was going to leave in anger, Frederick started to roll up his sleeves and broke into tears.
"Is there anyone in this world who doesn't acknowledge their own family? It's not that we don't want you on purpose. It's all the Willsmith family's fault. What have we done wrong?"
He looked depressed.
Then, he raised his tearless eyes and glanced at Jake, saying, "In any event, I won't be leaving today until you accept me as your grandpa. You may as well beat me up and throw me out if you don’t give a damn."
He slouched on the couch as if he had already made up his mind to remain.
Arthur was dumbfounded.
He looked at his father in disbelief. He had never thought that his hot-tempered and prideful father would pull such a stunt.
Meanwhile, Graham and Jake slightly frowned.
Graham arched one of his eyebrows and demanded angrily, "Old Quincy, do you still have any shame?"
He really wanted to stop talking to Frederick.
Frederick chuckled coldly, Old Lockwood, you finally stopped pretending now, have you? I know that the Lockwood family is powerful and has a high status. No one dares to touch you or your family. However, we, the Quincy family, are not asking for anything from you. Naturally, we are not afraid of you. If my grandson doesn't accept me today, I'll stay at your house and not leave. I want to stay and get to know my grandson
better!"
Graham’s face gradually darkened.
Jake's face turned sour as well.
He really did not expect the Quincy family to act like this.
Frederick seemed to think that he had made a good move. As he patiently unwrapped each present he had brought, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Jake, look, this is the clothes, toys, hat, and socks I bought for my great-granddaughter. Look, I even bought diapers for her."
He pushed the huge pile of things toward Jake.
Jake frowned and took a step back. Coldly, he said, "Sir Frederick, you don't have to do this. We don’t have any relationship, to begin with. What you're doing is unnecessary."
"Look, you're right to think that way. We don't have any love between us, that's why I'm here to get to know you better! It’s alright, the two of us will naturally get closer to each other after spending more time together. When the time comes, you'll definitely be more than willing to call me your grandpa," Frederick replied.
Jake held back his tongue this time.
He had never seen such a thick-skinned person.
And this person was his biological grandfather.
In fact, the Quincy family people had done nothing to harm him. As they said, the Quincy family had no idea that he was harmed by Jasper.
After missing out for nearly 30 years, the Quincy family had indeed done nothing wrong.
It was fine for them to come and acknowledge him as part of the Quillon family.
But he... didn't want to do so.
He really felt that there was no need to accept them as family.
Wouldn’t it be better for them to remain as strangers?
So many years had passed without them ever interacting. Wouldn't it be best that they avoid bothering one another in the future?
Jake really didn't know what to say to Frederick and Arthur.
So he turned to look at Graham for help.
Graham understood the look in Jake's eyes and immediately huffed out loud. He pointed angrily at Frederick and demanded angrily, Old Quincy, aren't you too thick-skinned? Don't think that I don't know what your motive is. Before this, you've sent your men to Mr. Lyons’s home to steal the experimental data of the crystal potion. Now that you've come here, trying so hard to make Jake accept you as family, are you trying to make use of Jake?"
Jake's heart skipped a beat. He threw a glance at Frederick and immediately understood everything.
No wonder Frederick was so willing to give up his face to pull such a shameless stunt. It turned out that he had other motives.
At the thought of this, Jake's eyes grew cold.
Frederick couldn't take it anymore. Putting his hands on his hips, he screamed at Graham, "Bah, Old Lockwood! You're looking down on me! I'm putting my cards on the table here! Even if it's not for the crystal potion, I'll still acknowledge my grandson."
Graham glared at him and snorted, "There, there. Your true colors are showing, right?"
Frederick was instantly dissatisfied and bit back, "Alright, since you want to make it sound like that, then I'll make it clear today. I don't want your crystal potion or whatever you're going to give me! I'm here to make my grandson accept me. Alright? Are you still unhappy about it?"
"Dad!" Arthur's expression changed when he saw his father's determined expression.
He slapped his forehead out of desperation.
"You... Old Quincy! That's good of you!" Graham was so furious that he was at a loss for words.
