"Henry, it's none of your business. It's my fault..."
"Would you be beaten like this by accident?" Cullen frowned and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened. Wasn't she lying?
Harriet lowered her head and endured her grievances. "Grandpa, don't be angry. It's really my fault."
"Harriet, you were beaten up while you lived with us. You have to explain who did this so that I can give your grandfather and your father an explanation." Henry said.
Cullen looked serious as if he was waiting for Harriet's answer.
He was not angry with Henry because he knew what kind of person he was.
Harriet was injured now. He blamed himself more than anyone else.
Harriet bit her lip as if she was in a difficult position.
"Tell me who hurt you. I will do you justice." In the past, Henry didn't think Harriet was bad, but now looking at her, he always felt uncomfortable.
She stammered and stuttered, with none of the integrity of the Porter Family.
Harriet looked up and opened her eyes, with tears in her eyes. "It was Arya. She thought I did something to make her leave the Jones Family."
Cullen looked at Henry. "What's going on?"
"Grandpa. It was Xavier's wife who beat me. But they're divorced now, and I'm fine, so there's no need to pursue it." Harriet quickly interjected.
She pretended to be kind.
Henry looked calm as if the answer was unexpected.
'How could it be her?'
"I want to see her." Cullen was a little angry. "Who is she? How dare she hurt my granddaughter?"
In the past, he would not be so decisive. Perhaps because he was getting older and had just met his only granddaughter. It was only because he loved his granddaughter so much that he was so angry.
Xavier had never been to the Old Residence since he came back, which meant that he was angry.
If Arya was called back now, he would definitely not agree.
Henry was in a dilemma.
"What, are you trying to protect her?" Cullen said coldly.
"No." Henry respected Cullen very much, not just because of his son, but because Cullen taught him like a teacher when he first joined the army, and then pushed him to his current position.
He could not refuse his request.
"When do you want to see her?"
Cullen thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow."
Henry nodded.
"I want to be alone with Harriet. You can go back first." Cullen waved his hand.
Henry left the room.
Harriet acted coquettishly to Cullen, "Grandpa, I'm sorry to worry you."
Cullen snorted coldly. He looked angry, but in fact, he doted on her, "Tell me, why did you call me here?"
He wouldn't believe that she deliberately called him because she was injured.
Harriet got off the bed and bent over to hug Cullen in the wheelchair. Cullen was 80 years old. He had a disease a while ago and was in a wheelchair, "That's my Grandpa who understands me." Harriet turned to Cullen and looked at him. "Grandpa, did you know that it should be me who married Xavier? We were engaged for many years. When we were about to get married, Arya seduced Xavier. That's why I was single until now. Grandpa, I still like him."
Cullen saw through Harriet's thoughts and asked with a frown, "What do you want me to do?"
"Grandpa, can you let Xavier marry me? I still like him very much." Harriet tugged at Cullen's sleeve.
Cullen knew Xavier but didn't have many contacts. He knew that Xavier was a very capable young man and had his own opinions.
Many years ago, Henry wanted him to go to the army, but he didn't want to go and didn't listen to anyone.
