The Love From Vengeance

348: PATH TO REDEMPTION

LUKE’S POV

As I approached my grandfather, his stern expression sent a shiver down my spine. I couldn’t help but wonder what I had done to incur his wrath this time. Had he learned about

my

reckless behavior earlier?

“Luke,” he said in a low voice, his tone laced with disappointment. “We need to talk.”

My heart sank as I followed him into the mansion, my mind racing with the possibilities of what he could know. Did he find out about the incident with the woman on the road? Or perhaps he had discovered my recent escapades at the nightclub?

As we entered his study, my grandfather fixed me with a penetrating gaze that made me squirm under his scrutiny. “I received a call today,” he began, his voice steady but filled with reproach. “About your behavior at the charity event last night.”

My stomach dropped as the pieces fell into place. So he hadn’t found out about the

ears.

“I… I can explain,” I stammered, my mind scrambling to come up with a plausible excuse for my bel.avior.

But my grandfather held up a hand, cutting me off. “I don’t want excuses, Luke. I want you to understand the gravity of your actions. You embarrassed both yourself and our family with your reckless behavior.”

His words struck a nerve, and I felt a pang of guilt wash over me. I had let him down, just like I had let down Daniel and countless others with my impulsive actions.

“I’m sorry, grandfather,” I said, the words heavy with sincerity. “I didn’t mean to cause any harm. I just… lost control.”

My grandfather sighed, his expression softening slightly. “I know you’re young and prone to making mistakes, Luke. But you must learn to temper your impulses and act with more responsibility. Our family’s reputation is at stake.”

I nodded, chastened by his words. “I understand, grandfather. I’ll do better, I promise.”

“Good. Now, I expect you to make amends for your behavior and represent our
