Such blunt humiliation left Liam completely red-faced.

Liam knew Ryan was a ruthless and arrogant brat. However, considering Ryan was about to become CEO and with Logan present, Liam thought Ryan might show some restraint.

It turned out that Ryan would not hold back.

As the head of the family, Logan wanted to reprimand his grandson, but on second thought, Ryan was right. He, too, disapproved of his younger son's behavior and the useless cronies Liam associated with. So Logan awkwardly cleared his throat and took a sip of water.

However, Claire could not hide her discomfort further. She frowned and chided. "Ryan, how can you speak to your uncle this way? Show some respect!"

"Haha... Oh, Claire. Don't be so hard on Ryan. To us, he's still a kid."

Despite their long-standing estrangement, Selena had never divorced him. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
