Chapter 234 I Might Slit His Throat

“You return without saying a word? Do I no longer matter to you, as your grandfather?” Wade asked, visibly
angry.
Zev stayed quiet, his expression full of rebellion.
“Do you have any idea how much Clarissa suffered and endured just to give birth to Shane?” Wade shot Kelly an angry glance, snorting coldly. “I underestimated you. You’re quite capable.”
Zev frowned and pulled Kelly into his arms. “Grandpa, please show some respect for my wife. And by the way, this is my home. It was left to me by my parents.”
“This is my son’s home!” Wade shouted angrily.
Zev’s face darkened. He was about to confront Wade head–on, but Kelly stopped him.
“It seems I underestimated you. You’re impressive,” Wade said, looking at Kelly. “I’m getting old, and I won’t stop you two anymore. Clarissa is a good girl. She’s been with me all these years. Without her, I would have died a long time ago.”
After saying that, Wade seemed drained of energy, shaking his head as he walked toward Clarissa and Shane.
He gently ruffled Shane’s little head, his face full of love and affection. “This boy is named Shane, a name Clarissa gave him. She’s loyal and caring toward you. They missed you, Zev.”
Zev looked up and rolled his eyes at the sky.
He was completely, utterly speechless.
“You’ve got a woman and child outside and even brought them back with you,” Wade said, looking at Jasper.
Jasper was a likable kid, taking after Zev in appearance, looking soft and cute. Wade couldn’t help but like him–after all, the kid was innocent.
Shane did have double eyelids and big eyes, but he looked more like Clarissa, with no clear mixed–race features.
Zev was mixed–race, so it made sense his kid with Clarissa didn’t show strong mixed traits. Wade didn’t think too much about it and spoiled this “great–grandson” with love.
“The child is innocent,” Wade said, looking at Jasper before speaking again. “Clarissa is generous and can accept this child. I will allow him to be included in the Lockhart family tree, entering the Lockhart Mansion, with the same inheritance rights as Shane.
“But you can’t be too greedy,” Wade said, his gaze fixed on Kelly. “We will allow you to stay, to stay by Zion’s side, but since you’ve already signed the divorce agreement, you must honor it. You and Zion must divorce, and Zion must marry Clarissa. He owes her an explanation and a rightful status!”
With that, Wade turned his gaze to Clarissa, full of sympathy. “This good girl, Clarissa, said that as long as she gets a rightful status, she won’t interfere with you two in any other way.”
Wade was still fuming

Caden slowly moved closer to Zev, also at a loss for words. “Is your grandpa… suffering from dementia?”
As soon as Wade heard this, his sharp gaze immediately shot over.
Caden flinched, startled.
After all, Wade still had an intimidating presence. “Mr. Caden, if there’s trothing else, you can leave. The rest is family business!”
Caden gasped, handing Jasper back to Zev. “Bro, good luck to you. I’m just glad I didn’t get tangled up with this woman, or else I’d be worried about my life.”
Then, he turned and rushed back to the car without looking back.
Kelly glanced at Zev, feeling a bit guilty.
Zev, however, was calm and composed; after all, brothers are for life… Might as well make the most of it.
“So, you called us back just to set this up?” Zev laughed. “You want me to divorce my wife and marry her? Does she really have the nerve to ask for that?”
Zev gently set Jasper down and ruffled his head. “Grandpa, I respect you as an elder, but if you keep interfering in my personal life, that’s crossing the line.
“You used the same method to interfere in my parents‘ marriage back then, and look where it got you–an old man burying his own child!” Zev knew exactly what to say to hit Wade where it hurt.
It was like stabbing a knife right into Wade’s heart.
“Zion!” Wade shouted angrily, pointing at Zev, struggling to catch his breath.
“Grandpa, please don’t get upset.” Clarissa quickly moved to support Wade, tears streaming as she turned to Zev. “Zion, please don’t make grandfather angry. He’s sick.”
“Enough!” Wade snapped, cutting her off. “He’s been fooled. That woman has brainwashed him! You and Shane are staying here. I’m here today, and no one is going to throw you out!”
Clarissa wiped away her tears, sobbing as she called, “Grandpa … ”
Zev laughed in frustration, pulling Kelly and Jasper along with him. “Fine, if we can’t win, we’ll just leave.”
Kelly shook her head, standing firm. “We’re not leaving.”
Clarissa’s intention is obvious–she wants to force me and Zev out of the family.
Her ultimate goal is to take over the Lockharts‘ fortune.
If Kelly and Zev left the house, the reporters outside would surely seize the chance to spread lies.
Such as the mistress being kicked out of the house…
Kelly picked up Jasper and held Zev’s hand as they passed by Clarissa and Wade, heading straight for the living room.

It was her way of staking her claim.
“You’re Willa, right? Throw out her things, and everything belonging to her illegitimate child, too,” Kelly ordered, her tone commanding, right in front of Wade.
Wade was taken aback, not expecting Kelly to be so bold in his presence.
“If you don’t throw them out, I’ll just set fire to this place… and then no one will have a place to live,” Kelly said, turning to Wade with a serious expression. “You’ve investigated me, haven’t you? I have a mental illness. If you push me too far, maybe when that little boy, Shane, is asleep… I might slit his throat.”
