Chapter 375
Did she really not know? It did not matter how one joined the family. The moment there’s a baby on the way, all the old scandals and disgraces would be forgotten at the sight of a new great–grandchild.
What she had not counted on was that Evangeline was already expecting Walter’s baby
That complicated things, but she would handle Trey first.
“Walter is my grandson, and I’ll decide if he needs to be disciplined. Now, answer my question,” Trey
demanded.
Since the rise of Gordon Group, Trey was used to getting answers whenever he asked. Thus, this girl’s silence was a bold move, indeed.
Even so, even though his authority was being challenged, Trey could not muster up any anger when he looked at her face–a face that stirred a sense of compassion.
After all, she looked so much like Julia, Evangeline’s half-sister, sharing the same father but born to a different mother.
Walter’s back was a map of scars, and Trey finally understood. His grandson would rather face the wrath of a thousand storms than admit he was wrong, especially if it was for her sake.

Her words were soaked in worry, and her tears started to fall all over again.
“Mr. Gordon, please, I’m begging you–don’t hurt Walter…”
To Trey, their display was like watching a cheesy romance unfold right before his eyes
He remembered Minnie’s earlier words.
“So, Miss Minnie, you’re the student my grandson Alex is mentoring, huh?”
Minnie nodded frantically, eager to spill her whole life story if it meant keeping Trey’s attention. After all, the more he seemed to care, the more she knew she had made an impression.
In the days to come, she knew that with a bit more attention paid to the old man and his grandson, she
