Chapter 2986
Vince couldn‘t help but feel joy after seeing what happened.
“I didn‘t want to ask for your help at first, Grandmother...”
“However, Queenie‘s been using Fourth Uncle to join forces with The Empire‘s fourth princess.”
“Not only were they perpetrators of the abandoned villa incident, but they also got the fourth princess to
accuse me of abandoning her...”
“They hired ghostwriters to slander my name online, too.”
“Social media platforms are waiting to get a scoop out of me!”
“Queenie‘s not letting me explain myself at all. She tarnished our family‘s century-old reputation in just
a single day!”
“I have a way to fix it, but it‘ll be too slow.”
“I won‘t be able to deal with it before your birthday. I couldn‘t ensure you have a peaceful banquet.”
“That‘s why I’m here now, to beg for your help.”
“Please, Grandmother! Help me get through these trying times!”
“I promise, after your birthday banquet...”
“I’ll marry whoever you ask me to! I won‘t cause any trouble ever again!”
“When that happens, I‘ll even get you a few more grandchildren!”
“Vince is your eldest grandson, Mother,” Lexie added gently.
“If you don‘t help him, are you going to help that woman who‘s going to end up with another family
instead?”
Grandma York‘s expression remained the same as she leaned on her chair.
“Queenie‘s capable, smart, reliable, and powerful.”
&125;
“It‘s a shame she isn‘t from the family. She‘s just an adoptive daughter at most!”
“If she can straighten herself up, she might have a chance to rise above all others within the family
sooner or later.”
“But now, she‘s going against you on her own volition...”
“Marcel isn‘t planning to let her succeed him, is he?”
“I supposed that‘s to be expected. Since what happened ten years ago isn‘t clear yet, it would be bad
for him to trust anyone at all. His daughter is the only one he trusts...”
“Naive!”
–
“How naive!“,
“Ruining the future of the family because of the past! He‘s all backwards now!”
“I‘ll handle this,” Grandma York announced.
“Don‘t worry. Tomorrow morning, everything will subside.”
“Nobody will say a single word about what happened!”
“The Empire will owe us an apology as well.”
“Thank you, Grandmother!”
Vince let out a sigh of relief. If Grandma York was willing to take action, then there would be no trouble
at all!
Grandma York, however, ignored Vince‘s sycophantic attitude. She pondered about the situation for a
while before speaking once more.
“It‘s been a few days since Marcel‘s back, isn‘t it?” she asked.
“Five days,” Lexie replied.
“He said he‘s coming back to celebrate your birthday. Did he not come?”
“Him? He‘s too focused on uncovering what happened ten years
ago.”
“He‘s not completely riled up about it, but I‘m sure he‘s already making his move...”
“You two can only see Queenie causing a mess out in the open
“But none of you see what Marcel‘s actually planning from behind the scenes.”
“If he wants closure for himself and Selena...”
“The entire family will be held accountable sooner or later.”
