Chapter 233 Irritated Old Man

Jonathan and Anthony froze when they saw their grandfather, suddenly quiet and submissive like scared

little birds.

Philip, seeing them finally calm down, snorted in irritation, tucked away his cane, and, with a slight shake, climbed into the car.

Jonathan and Anthony exchanged glances.

Unable to keep quiet, Jonathan cautiously said, “Grandpa, this isn’t your car”

Philip responded by thumping them lightly on their heads, shouting in frustration, “What do you mean the wrong car? Stop spouting nonsense! Andrew has already left the mountain. If you two hadn’t been bickering, we could have been ahead of them!”

“But…”

“Enough! You’re both acting like clowns! Either get in a car or run home if you don’t want to ride! Spoiled

brats!”

Reluctantly, Jonathan and Anthony respected their grandfather’s command and got into the car parked

behind.

Meanwhile, Jordan watched the old man settle in and then turned to Milly, his expression calm, “Let’s head to the back and sit there, too.”

He knew the old man was in control and saw no point in challenging him.

Jordan was aware of the old man’s displeasure, especially about the issues involving Milly and Stephanie, and chose not to provoke him further.

As they began to move away, Philip, looking annoyed, called out, “Where do you think you’re going?”

Jordan, protecting Milly, replied without stopping, “We’re going to the car behind.”

“Just get in and sit down!” Philip commanded sternly.

The old man showed his irritation.
