Chapter 240: Keanus gaze turned as cold as ice as he spoke with unwavering certainty.


    What do you mean only? Ive already said I can live without a grandson, but I have just one granddaughter Allison.


    Lindys agitation red like wildfire.


    Why, of all people, would this old fool side with an outsider? She stepped forward, words already forming on her lips, but Rex shoved her aside without so much as a nce.


    I havent dealt with you yet! And with that, the fragile calm shattered into chaos.


    Colton stood by, watching the storm his parents were creating.


    His mind spun as though he were caught in a whirlwind.


    He could only watch in disbelief.


    His grandfather, the very man who had always championed him, now stood across from him, ruthless and cold.


    Keanus earlier words echoed in Coltons mind, stripping him of any worth.


    Maybe Keanu was done with him, perhaps even ready to sever his ties as the familys heir.


    And to make matters worse, there were Allison and Kenoutsiders in this tempest, silently bearing witness to his humiliation.


    The shame gnawed at him, twisting like a dagger lodged in his chest.


    The pain was suffocating, each breath harder to draw than thest.


    When his gaze finally locked with Kens, the casual smirk that yed across the mans lips was almost unbearable.


    It was as if Ken and Allison were silently reveling in his downfall, united in his disgrace.


    A deep, dark rage clouded Coltons vision.


    Its you… Allison, you nned all of this, didnt you? You set me up from the start! Allisons face twisted in disbelief.


    What on earth are you talking about? Her eyes narrowed as she took in the sight of Colton, fists clenched and trembling, teetering on the edge of losing control.


    Colton had always been proud, but now, the ugly revtions about his mothers infidelity,bined with his grandfathers apparent disavowal, had pushed him to the brink.


    But Allison had no part in any of it.


    Once, she might have felt pity for him.


    Now, all she felt was disdain, not even deigning to grant him another nce.


    Colton suddenly let out a low, humorlessugh.


    Allison, youve known Deandre for years.


    Why didnt you tell me back then? Three years ago, you couldve warned me! But you kept quiet, just waiting for this day to unfold like some grand spectacle! Desperation often distorts reason, and Colton, now shattered by these devastating blows, clung to the belief that all of this was an borate deception.


    And you definitely made Deandre give that video to Mny just so you could humiliate me in public today! His usations revealed not only his pain but also his utter ignorance.


    Allison didnt even bother responding.


    What was the point? Anything she said now would only be wasted on someone so deeply entrenched in his delusions.


    Trying to reason with him would be like shouting into the wind.


    Colton, however, had no intention of waiting for her reply.


    His mind was already a mess, trapped in a whirlpool of his own anguish, barely aware of the words tumbling from his mouth.


    You… you probably made Deandre seduce my mom too, didnt you? And then tricked Mny into all of this… His voice was softer now, almost to himself, as if clinging to this absurd fantasy was the only way he could cope.


    Lindy, upon hearing Mnys name, froze with fury, her face darkening.


    Mny! So its you! You filthy little liar, always stirring up trouble! Her handshed out before anyone could stop her, delivering a vicious p across Mnys face.


    The sound of it cracked like a whip through the air.


    Mny stumbled back, a red welt already forming on her cheek.


    But Lindy wasnt satisfied.


    Her fury bubbled over, and it seemed as if she was intent on tearing Mny apart.


    I knew you were up to something! Trying to provoke Colton into creating a scene at Keanus birthday banquet you did it all on purpose! .
