Chapter 754: Kneel and Apologize

A cane with a metal base struck Carl's knees heavily.

With a loud thud, Carl, who could barely stand to begin with, collapsed to his knees, facing Ian directly. His eyes widened in disbelief, filled with shock and humiliation.

Grandpa Langdon didn't spare Carl a glance. Instead, he clasped his hands respectfully toward Ian and said, "Ian, it is my failure as a parent to teach him properly. I apologize for the trouble we've caused you. Rest assured that once we return, I will discipline him strictly. I deeply regret disrupting your afternoon. If there's anything you need in the future, don't hesitate to contact me. For now, I'll take my leave so as not to disturb you further."

Ian raised an eyebrow, momentarily unsure what game Grandpa Langdon was playing.

Not long ago, they had stormed in without a word, intending to cripple his two sons. Now suddenly, they were putting on this act of humility?

But did they think they could walk away so easily after turning his family into such a mess?

Not a chance.

A dark glint flashed across Ian's aged eyes. As Grandpa Langdon turned to leave, Ian's cold voice rang out.

"Wait."

Trevor Langdon froze in place, turning to face him.

Ian remained seated, his frail body leaning slightly forward. His gaze fell on Carl, who was still kneeling, dazed from Trevor's earlier scolding. Ian let out a cold laugh.

"Trevor, your son barged into the Brookes family today without a word and dared to point at my face and shout insults. I am his elder. Do you really think I'll let this go? Walking away without settling this is not only disrespectful to me but also

the Brookes family. And what kind of lesson is it for your son if you're the one apologizing on his behalf?
