In the living room.
It was messy, with broken pieces of porcelain and scrolls of painting scattering around.
Rena’s eyes were red, her face puzzled and she felt aggrieved.
When Jack called, she was right beside her grandfather and she knew exactly what the conversation was about.
But grandfather’s response made her feel unfair for Jack.
Grandpa knew it!
After hanging up Jack’s call, he seemed to clearly know about Kool Family judging from his expressions and words.
But grandpa’s decision in the end was not to tell Jack.
What was that?
It was a blood feud for Jack!
His wife was about to give birth, but the child died and he was nearing death himself.
No one would tolerate such big blood feud.
But Jack, as the ancestor in ‘Juan’ generation of Grand Freemasons, while facing his blood feud, should be well supported by Grand Freemasons; how could grandpa just quietly took away everyone from Grand Freemasons behind Jack?
Looking at the grandfather who flushed, but eyes full of coldness, Rena’s red lips trembled, “Grandpa, you are the master of Grand Freemasons, do you remember the rules of Grand Freemasons that you have taught me when I was young?”
Carlo’s eyes flashed, and he took a deep breath then said to Rena, “Rena, don’t be arrogant!!”
“It’s not that I’m arrogant!”
Rena waved her hand in anger and screamed, “One of the Grand Freemasons’ rules was joining Grand Freemasons means everyone in Grand Freemasons are like own family, when they’re in need, we give all support! Grandpa, this is what you asked me to memorise word by word when I was young, but now, what’re you doing?”
She reminded firmly and sarcastically.
Carlos felt extremely embarrassed.
His face was red and he was painting hard.
However, he could not refute Rena’s words.
This was indeed one of the most important rules of Grand Freemasons.
As the master of Grand Freemasons, he had supreme authority and even Isaac Wells had to be respectful of him.
He was also the soul of Grand Freemasons and the role model for everyone in Grand Freemasons.
For his actions and words, he should obey the rules.
But now…he broke his promise!
In front of his own granddaughter.
This made Carlos feel deeply ashamed.
“Grandpa, why aren’t you talking?”
Rena smiled sadly, “You were the one who got Jack joining Grand Freemasons last time; it was also you and Isaac who discussed and gave him the status of ‘Juan’ generation , now that this ancestor’ s wife and child got harmed, you as someone who made Jack the ancestor, chose to neglect this and never speak out despite knowing the truth?”
“How are you going to convince the others like this? How can people respect you as the master after it spreads to Grand Freemasons? They would say…You’re not worthy!”
The last three words were spoken through her gritted teeth.
However,
Carlos’ body trembled in a sudden.
He felt like he was blown up at that moment.
He carried his rickety body and walked quickly until he reached the front of Rena.
Snapped!
His hand was raised and lowered, with a great force.
A slap in the face.
Half of Rena’s face was swollen and red, with a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.
“You rebellions and unfilial girl, are you turning against grandpa now?”
Carlos glared and breathed rapidly, she stared at Rena angrily, “Even if you spread around about what happened today in Grand Freemasons and let everyone from Grand Freemasons disrespect me, I would not bother about it!”
“This matter is not up to you to fool around.”
Rena looked sad, and she looked at the furious Carlos with her red and teary eyes, suddenly felt a little strange.
Is this…really the grandpa who had always spoiled me?
Why did he suddenly become so cold-blooded?
How can the only ancestor of ‘Juan’ generation from Grand Freemasons abandoned his majesty and ignored about the rules?
“I’m not fooling around; I’m just maintaining the prestige of Grand Freemasons!”
Rena said stubbornly, her eyes burning, staring at Carlos’ angry eyes.
As soon as she stopped.
She walked out furiously.
“Rena, stop, if you are still acting arrogantly, don’t blame me for grounding you!”
