Feeling humiliated. Barnaby gave Sheridan a long stare before eking out a complete sentence

“You can rest assured that my reconciliation with her won’t affect you in any way. On top of that, I’m not that naive to bring her back to the Stone family just to have the others criticize me

“Given that you’re trying to fulfill a wish of yours, it’s not surprising that you don’t care about what others think. However, have you forgotten something important?”

With his hands pressed against the table, Sheridan gave Barnaby a piercing gaze, as if he was a predator preparing to strike

“Thad declared in front of everyone in the Stone family that they’re not allowed to join objected to you recognizing Nigel. Yet, you have gone Back on your word and refused to keep sl by going out with her in public. In fact, you even allowed her to move into the Stone residence did you ever consider my position as the head of the Seone family when you did all that? How am 1 to manage the entire family when you keep challenging my authority?”

Barnaby responded resolutely, “What’s done is done, and it’s too late for any going to kick her out expecially when she is the mother of my son.

Sheridan let a sort to express his disappointmenter Bars

Nevenbeless, Sheridan knew what he had to do. Barnaby’s impulsive actions had given him his answer graces

Grandpa. let me remind you that your decision not only puts me in a difficult position but also diagra the Stone family. On top of that, you have also placed our family in a precarious position as the Hailey family will see your action as a provocation. Because of you, the Hadley family will come after the family before I can even think of how to deal with them. Based on how well you know Nathaniel you think he’ll do to our family?”

Barnaby opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

During the banquet, he was focused on stamping his authority and trying to resolve Arure’s predi caining him to neglect the many repercussions of his actions.

Now that Sheridan had reminded him of them, the gravity of the consequences began to weigh down on him

Sheridan might be standing in the vanguard of the family, but he was still responsible for his actions as the former head of the Stone family.

“I’m sorry, Sheridan. I failed to think through it properly.” Barnaby admitted.

“Grandpa, ever since you reunited with your old flame, you’re no longer like your old self.” the disappointed Sheridan lamented, “Looks like the old adage-Love makes fools of us all-does ring true

Barnaby looked visibly awkward when he realized that it was he who blundered first. With nothing to defend himself with, he inquired, “So how do you plan to remedy the situation?”

“Remedy?” Sheridan stared at Barnaby in disbelief as he sneered, “Grandpa, don’t you know that you can have your cake and eat it too?”

Barnaby was rendered speechless.

“Nigel’s trial begins on Tuesday, and I’m sure that he’ll be found guilty.” Sebastian added in an insidious tone, “However, you gave her implicit permission to obtain a letter of understanding from Timothy and to spike the latter’s drink? That woman’s charms have clearly caused you to take leave of your senses!”

“Insolence!” Barnaby banged the table in anger. “I’m your grandfather, Sheridan. How dare you speak to me that way!”

Sheridan sprang to his feet abruptly and glared at Barnaby

“There’s no way she could get her hands on a drug like that if you hadn’t given it to her. If my men hadt informed me about it in time so that I can clean up your mess, the Stone family would’ve been niined once the drug was sent for testing. Of all the drugs in the research center, you had to pick an unfinished product. If it was anyone else who had done the same thing. I would have punished theins severely

Feeling distraught, Barnaby slumped onto the couch with his brows tightly furrowed

Upon regaining his composure, he remarked skeptically. “That doesn’t sound right. The drug that I ordered to be brought over was a completed product that won’t put one’s life in danger. Its only function is render someone mute. All I wanted to do was threen Timothy into writing a letter of understanding in alleviate Nigel’s sentence. I never had the intention of killing him
