Chapter 558 - 557: Never Hate You
William Griffith stopped speaking, Sophie Wood gestured at him to leave quickly.
Sophie was not a bad person, and as a woman, she did feel sympathy for Cherish Turner.
"Have you ever asked Sophie if she’s willing?" William finally spoke, his voice low and stirring, "She is a person, not a chess piece for you to move as you please. Besides, I don’t love her. Such a marriage won’t bring her happiness." Surprisingly, Sophie was not angered by William’s words; he was being honest, at least.
Robert Griffith’s anger swelled, and his face turned red, "Revolt!"
May Campbell rushed to Robert’s side, gently stroking his chest, "Old Man, the doctor said you can’t get angry anymore!" She looked up at the two of them, "You’d better go!"
"William, don’t anger your grandfather," Mother Griffith urged, fearing that Robert would get sick.
William fixed his gaze on Robert, who lay in bed, and suddenly said, "You always make decisions on your own, that’s why you can’t keep people around."
His words seemed to touch a deep wound hidden in Robert’s heart, making the old man’s gaze freeze. Afterward, a stifled anger rose, and he clenched his teeth, swung a solid wood crutch at William, and shouted, "You bastard!"
The crutch came so quickly that no one could react, and William did not dodge it.
In that instant, Cherish instinctively moved to protect William. The crutch struck her hard on the back, causing her to suppress a painful groan as the crutch clattered to the floor.
