The Kingstons’ Compromise

Seeing his grandfather looking at him, Marc could acutely sense that Lance had already made up his mind. He felt his heart sinking.

"No, Grandpa! You can't do this! I'm your grandson, and you've treated me the best since I was a kid. Moreover, you've even decided to groom me to become the next helmsman of the family. How can you give me up now? Besides, if you really hand me over to them, the Kingstons' pride will really be trampled on!" Marc desperately tried to dissuade his grandfather.

If even his grandfather gave up on him, he would end up miserable once he was in Lucas's hands.

"Shut up!" Lance hollered furiously, "Now that things have come to this, do you still have the cheek to say such things? Everything that happened today was caused by you! If it wasn't for you, how could the Kingstons have ended up in such a state today?"

He was really enraged at this moment.
