Raising his eyebrows, Joseph glared at him with displeasure on his face.
"I know you care about Jessie and I understand you feel sorry for her. But she has nothing to do with Daniel. You'd better save your sympathy. It's not good for me." Joseph snorted. This world was so realistic and cruel. Whoever was weak would be bullied.
He could sympathize with others, but would others sympathize with him?
Only the winner would take all. As long as they became the strongest, then the world was up to them.
Sympathy would only become a stumbling block to them.
Lawrence wanted to argue, but he knew that being too domineering was not good for him and Jessie. He chose to remain silent.
Knowing that Lawrence and Joseph had always been at odds, Ken suddenly stood up and said, "Lawrence, you should keep an eye on Jessie. After all, she is my granddaughter, and I don't want anything bad to happen to her."
Lawrence nodded, "I will."
When Ken and Joseph were about to leave, Lawrence's phone rang.
After picking up the phone, his face was more and more gloomy. He hurriedly hung up after a few words and then ran out to them.
"Grandpa!" Ken stopped and turned to Lawrence. Lawrence said anxiously, "Eagle was attacked and suffered great loss."
"What?" Ken raged, his eyes blazing with fire.
Good!
'Mark, now you dared to destroy my Eagle at all costs, I would let you know the consequence of messing me up!'

Nelson was much better now. Although he still couldn't get out of bed and walk, he was more conscious and spoke more quickly than before.
The closed door was opened again. Nelson raised his head and saw a man walking in.
"Who! Who are you?" Nelson looked at the strange blond man and asked doubtfully.
Joseph lifted the corner of his lips and directly pulled off the human skin mask on his face. Nelson's eyes suddenly widened in shock, surprise, and disbelief... All the emotions appeared on his face.
"Dad, I'm back."
"You... Edward, why did you..."
"Dad, do you want to ask why I am wearing a mask?" Seeing Nelson in a daze, Edward said, "Dad, what do you think if I say I'm going to kill Mark?"
"You...You cannot do that!" Nelson rejected him at once. With a stern look in Edward's eyes, the murderous look was immediately condensed on him. He asked sternly, "Since you can do whatever you want, why can't I do that? Dad, don't you always want to kill him? Now, I am just fulfilling your wish."
He admitted that he was indeed attracted by Sara who was beautiful and gentle at that time.
When he just met Sara, he managed to contain his feelings for Sara and kept telling himself that he was married and his wife and children were still waiting for him in the countryside. But the more he knew about her, the more he found that Sara was not only educated and reasonable, but also had a good business mind.
Gradually, as they got more and more familiar with each other, Nelson had his own business plan.
And the feelings between them were also growing deeper.
When he recalled the past, tears streamed down Nelson's face. His heart ached.
"Edward, I know you and Leslie hated me for abandoning you in the village. But do you think I was willing to leave alone? I told your mom that we would go to the city together no matter where we went. But you knew that your mom was so introverted that she was unwilling to come into new environment and face new things... But I can't let you starve to death in the village because of her."
Silently, Edward looked at his aged father.
Her mother was indeed a conservative and introverted rural woman. He still remembered that one year, he and Leslie told her that they wanted to go to the city to find their father, but their mother didn't let them out. She also said that since this was the fate, she would listen to the destiny.
If they really wanted to blame someone for what had happened, then they could only blame their fate.
Everyone was living in helplessness and had made many helpless choices.
"I don't want to say anything about what you have done to mom. I'm here today just to tell you that I will let Mark pay for what he has done to me! I will let him suffer ten times of what I had suffered!"
