Chapter 254 If I Don’t Protect Him, Who Will?

Jensen knew she was talking about Kisa. He was silent as he poured Madalyn a glass of water. Madaly n snickered as she glanced around the rooms with her cane. “Is that woman out?”

‘It seems that Madalyn really thought he was living with Kisa.‘ Jensen did not offer explanation, and he j ust asked, “I wonder why Grandma wants to see me at this hour?”

Madalyn sat down on the couch with a touch of sternness on her hoary face. “About me sending you ou t of the country back then. Did you say something about that to Gilbert?” Jensen’s grip on the glass tigh tened, and he smiled sarcastically. “Huh? Did Gilbert ask you?” “Humph! I just wanted to remind you; si nce you promised me to tell Gilbert that you left the country voluntarily, stop saying anything about it in f ront of Gilbert.”

Jensen looked down with a gentle smile at the glass of water in his hand, but his eyes were icy. He sne ered and said, “Grandma, you have protected him so well.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“His parents died when he was young. If I don’t protect him, who will?”

“And what about me?” Jensen looked at her with a faint smile. His voice is lukewarm with a hint of unco ncern.

But as Madalyn listened, it became offensive to her. “You…” She squeezed her cane tightly and said in a deep voice, “You are Gilbert’s elder brother, and you can live well abroad, not to mention your father i s still alive.”

“My father? Heh…”

Madalyn did not even know what to say upon seeing Jensen’s sarcastic laugh. For her, Gilbert was the most important thing of all. She could sacrifice everything, as l ong as her precious grandson was well. She looked away and said, “Your father’s mother, who is your own grandmother, was sinister and deliberately set your grandfather up to conceive your father. After y our own grandmother was sent away by your grandfather, I pitied your father and took him as my own c hild and raised him well. I didn’t expect that he would bite the hand that fed him by repeatedly framing y our second uncle, trying to usurp the Kooper family’s property. I was afraid that you might follow in the f ootsteps of your father, so I sent you away as a young boy. In fact, I have been kind to you and your fat her. You shouldn’t hate me.”

“Yeah, I don’t.” Jensen smiled faintly, but all that flashed through his mind was the image of being bullie d in a foreign country.

“So, Jensen, I hope you won’t say anything more to Gilbert about your leaving the country.”

“Don’t worry. Back then, it was me who left the country voluntarily, and it had nothing to do with you.”

It was only after what Jensen said did Madalyn nod her head in satisfaction, with an avuncular look on her wrinkled face.

“This place is shabby. Return to the Kooper residence with me, Jensen.”

Jensen smiled and shook his head. “It is nice here. I enjoy living here.” He never wanted to go back to th once felt so happy, and now so full of irony.

Madalyn’s face darkened, as she just thought he could not let go of Kisa. “You can’t let go of that b*tch,

Jensen stared at the water in his glass, not uttering a sound.

Madalyn stomped her cane on the floor. “That bitch is a scourge. She set Gilbert up to become the wife between you and Gilbert.”
