Worrying that Sachin and Payton would say something to Old Master Shen, Griselda followed them upstairs and eavesdropped outside the door.
Hearing that Sachin decided to stay independent from the Lu family, she was both shocked and delighted.
Sachin walked out of the study and caught a glimpse of Griselda. He sneered and left.
Although Griselda was angered by his attitude, she became happier at the thought that Sachin took the initiative to leave the Lu family.
After Payton also left, she walked into the study and saw Old Master Shen angrily throwing all the things on the desk to the ground.
"Benson, what are you doing?" she cried out in shock.
With a fierce look, he gritted his teeth and said, "Help me contact the media. I want to announce that I have officially cut off my father-son relationship with Sachin and Payton."
"Benson, why did you do this?" Griselda pretended to be surprised, but she was indeed overjoyed.
It seemed that Old Master Shen and Sachin had made up their mind this time.
"You don't need to know so much. Just do as I ask," Benson roared.
Griselda was shocked. Then she quickly comforted him in a gentle voice, "OK. Don't be angry. I'll contact them immediately."
With that, she quickly left the study to contact the media.
Benson fell back in his chair, and his face became gloomier.
He had to let those two brats know that they could do nothing without the backing of the Lu family.
...
"Brother, aren't you too impulsive?"
Payton looked up at Sachin from the rearview mirror. Although he knew Sachin had such a plan, he was still scared when hearing him bring it up.
Sachin also looked up, and his eyes met Payton's in the rearview mirror. "Do you want Old Master Shen to control your future?"
"Of course not." Payton curled his lips. It was better to leave the Lu family than to be controlled by his father.
At the very least, he and Sachin would be free in this way.
But....
"Sachin, how can we prove that Juliet's father is innocent?"
Since they had openly offended Old Master Shen, it was quite possible that he would do something even more outrageous to the Eltons.
Sachin already had a plan, so when hearing this question, he said calmly, "Let Grandpa help us."
Only then did Payton remember that they still had the Shen family as their powerful backing.
Perhaps the Shen family's power was not comparable to that of the Lu family. However, it gained the upper hand with regard to military-political stuff.
As long as their grandfather was willing to show up, Payton believed that Juliet's father could return home very soon.
...
As Payton had expected, after Old Master Shen showed up, Benson's plot was exposed to the public. As a result, all the officials bribed by Old Master Shen lost their status and power overnight.
Ebenezer was also proven to have been framed. After being cleared of the charge, he regained his previous position and continued to serve the masses.
Juliet also made peace with Payton.
When they returned to Payton's house hand in hand, they met Tracy at the door. Realizing that they had restored their relationship, Tracy couldn't help but tease them, "You two really love each other very much."
Juliet raised her chin proudly. "Of course. Our love can not be easily destroyed by ordinary people."
