Chapter 224

The atmosphere instantly froze, like a showdown scene from a drama.

Jessica tugged on Rebecca, shooting her a look that said, ‘Let’s not get caught up in this mess.

This chaotic showdown between three generations wasn’t something they wanted any part of.

“Let’s be real, none of us are saints,” Jeffrey admitted openly once Rebecca and Samuel had left. “But I’ve never said a bad word about either of you to Mom.”

“That’s just because she can’t stand you,” Ryan exposed mercilessly.

Jeffrey shrugged, dead serious. “If she really hated me, she wouldn’t have let me in today or given me free rein around here.”

Ryan just stared at him, lost for words.

Even Sebastian could only stand there, speechless.

“So, were you guys even invited in?” Jeffrey asked, all smug, though he already knew the answer.

Ryan and Sebastian fell silent, refusing to answer.

Jeffrey just shrugged, “Looks like you weren’t.”

The two only exchanged helpless glances, at a loss for words.

‘What an infuriating brat!‘ both of them cursed inwardly.

Jeffrey wasn’t bothered by what they thought. Yeah, one was Rebecca’s biological dad and the other was her grandpa, but when it came to whether he and Rebecca could be together, the only opinions that mattered were Rebecca’s and Jessica’s.

As for these two, one was stuck in the regret of chasing after his wife too late, and the other was wishing he hadn’t missed his chance to win back his daughter.

Too bad for them–they only realized it when it was way past the right moment.

“As long as you two don’t go saying things like that again, I’ll just let it slide,” Jeffrey said with a faint grin. “But if I hear that kind of talk one more time, then I’ll have no choice but to mention it to Jessica.”

“So after all that, did you actually bring any gifts today?” Ryan suddenly shifted the topic, having heard rumors that Jeffrey was loading Rebecca up with presents, though nobody knew for sure if he’d really brought anything.

Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you already hear?”

Ryan and Sebastian exchanged uncertain glances, both furrowing their brows.
