Chapter 54: Grandma is awake
In the hall, everyone began criticizing Steven.
"I never expected you, Steven, to be such a wolf in sheep’s clothing!"
"If Madam Marianne doesn’t wake up, the head of the family’s position should not change hands again. When Madam Marianne was diagnosed with cancer, she temporarily entrusted the management to you, but that doesn’t mean you have the people’s support!"
"Now, not only did you harm her, but you even brought in an illegitimate child from who knows where just so you could silence those opposing you and secure your position as the family head!"
Steven’s gaze grew more intense, and Alex could no longer hold back. He jumped out of his father’s arms, facing the crowd and shouting.
"Great Grandma will definitely wake up! Dad became the family head with his own abilities and through Great Grandma’s approval. You cannot speak ill of my dad!"
His small figure stood firmly in front of Steven, determined.
Tony had been looking for an excuse to target Alex, and seeing Alex step forward, he saw the perfect opportunity.
"You—an illegitimate child—dare to speak here?! I’m telling you, it’s because of you that Grandma won’t wake up!"
Alex never believed in such feudal superstitions, but those words were too harsh. He trembled all over, tears welling up in his eyes.
Steven had not planned to cause a big scene in the old residence. After all, Cecilia had assured him that Marianne would wake up, and he believed her. But upon witnessing this, he smashed the teacup in his hand with a loud bang.
