Seated beside him was Henry Ford and his wife. Seeing her son in such a state of rage, Old Madam Ford could not help but admonish him. "Seany! What are you so angry about? Now that Sebastian and his wife are on good terms, aren't things any better?"
"Mom!" Sean did not dare to challenge his son but he dared to challenge his mother. "Mom, what are you talking about! Who is Sebastian?" Sean asked his mother angrily.
The old lady answered, "He’s my grandson, of course."
"Not only is he your grandson at the moment, but he's also your only grandson! The only living heir to the Ford family! Not only does he represent the Ford family, but he's also the most powerful man in the Ford Group! The most influential and respected man i n the entire South City, the King of South City!"
The old lady replied, "This proves that my grandson is a capable man."
Sean was furious upon hearing her reply. "Do you want your capable grandson to become the laughing stock of the city?"
The old lady asked, "What are you talking about?"
After all, she was almost 100 years old; his beating around the bush confused her.
“Your granddaughter-in-law is cheating on your grandson!"
The old lady was speechless.
"Your granddaughter-in-law is having an affair with another man behind your grandson's back! And there's more than one man! But I found out about everything!"
Only then did the old lady finally understand. She asked her son incredulously, “Seany, what did you say? You mean, now it’s the other way around? In the past, generations of the Ford family men spent their days drinking and fooling around with other women, leaving their wives to cry alone at home. And now, it's the other way around? Now, it's Sebastian’s wife who i s fooling around with other men, while Sebastian..."
Sean roared, "Mom! What are you even saying!"
The old lady turned serious all of a sudden. "I'm telling the truth! Don’t think I don't understand what you’re trying to say!"
He slowly backed out of the room. But still, the flames of anger remained in his chest. He left the house with the anger still simmering in his stomach with nowhere to vent. Right at that moment, his phone rang. He raised it up and glanced at the screen; it was an unfamiliar number. After a moment's hesitation, he answered, "Hello, who are you?"
"Did you ever visit her grave?" On the other end, an unbearably cold voice drifted over the phone.
Sean was baffled. "Who... Who are you? What do you mean by visit her grave?"
"Damn it! You old fool, listen to me! If you dare bully Sabrina again, I will truly kill you!" With that, the caller ended the call without a second’s hesitation.
Sean:
He was boiling with rage. Without even thinking, he dialed a set of numbers and pressed the call button. This time, he did not call Sebastian. Instead, he called Sabrina.
On the other end, Sabrina's voice was calm and clear." Hello..."
