Despite spending his entire life on the bloody battlefield and never batting an eyelid at all the gruesome scenes he had witnessed, Jonathan suddenly wavered at his former subordinate's attempt at eliciting pity.

"Old Mr. Lightburn, from my perspective, you're overestimating the gravity of the situation. Grandpa would definitely not do anything of that sort to someone younger. Thus, I think it's wise to help your granddaughter back to her feet.”

Sasha had stepped forward to preempt Jonathan's answer, standing defiantly in the center of the living room, she calmly deflected the pressure Lucius was exerting.

Just when Lucius was getting carried away with his reprimand, he looked up upon hearing Sasha's words.

In that instant, he felt his heart sink.

"Old Mr. Jadeson, is this your granddaughter-in-law?"

"Yes, yes. That's her."
