Chapter 0810: In the Still of the Night

"What if Aunt Susanna's father, that is, Phoebe Smith's grandfather, blames us for this? Back at Star Ocean City, Jaylene Ziel was still troubled by this question.

"Do you think he's an unreasonable person?" Joseph Thompson's eyebrows raised, and the motion of drying his hair with a bath towel paused for a moment.

"I... I think he must love Phoebe a lot." Jaylene hesitated, she had never met Susanna Smith's father, but she had heard he was quite a formidable figure.

"Old Master Smith only has Phoebe as a granddaughter; naturally his affection for her would be greater," Joseph Thompson spoke indifferently, "But Old Master Smith also has two grandsons, and besides, Phoebe grew up in the Thompson family, not spending much time with her grandfather. His affection for her has its limits."

"I'm just afraid that 'limited affection' might eventually turn into 'unlimited'." Jaylene rubbed her head, still feeling intimidated by the reputation of that formidable figure.
