Chapter 73: His Wife’s Pride
"I don’t know, grandpa! Bow many times should I tell you" Evander raised his voice as he lost his patience. "He took his wife and left. But he returned and shot Paul in the face for no reason."
Peter banged the table and Viola winced and pressed her back to the wall.
"No reason?" Peter shouted. "Since when did Leander do anything for no reason? Did he kill my aide for no reason? And he did that to your face?" Peter pointed at Viola.
He knew how much Leander respects his mother. For him to scare Viola like that... It’s impossible!
"He must have lost his mind, grandpa," Evander stepped closer to Peter. Now would be the time for him to turn his grandfather’s heart toward him. Leander gave him the chance just like he predicted. "You saw how he~"
"How long are you going to protect your little brother?" Viola stepped to the front. She didn’t think that talking bad about Leander directly to the don would do any good right now.
As the only viable heir, Leander has a stronghold in the family. He cannot be shaken by one strike. Leander acted pretty well with Peter, so he trusts him. There is only one way to shake the foundation of the trust Peter has for Leander.
By making Peter hate the one person Leander loves.
"He did not like that we followed..." she paused as the door opened.
It was Barnabas.
"He was with us too," Viola pointed at Barnabas. She hoped that he speaks the truth. "We just wanted to make sure that we follow all the traditions of the Kastello family. Leander allowed it too. But then, I don’t know what that girl said to him as they got down the stairs that made Leander mad that he..." Viola looked pitifully at Barnabas.
"What tradition?" Peter asked. He thought everything was settled with Leander’s flash marriage. What tradition did they miss?
