Chapter 181 Revenge on the Conrad Family

This time, he didn’t just whip Henry once.

The cracking sound of the whip could be heard in the study room.

Even Frederick who was guarding outside the door was frightened by the sound of it. “Is master Lancaster trying to kill the young master?”

Three years ago, Master Lancaster whipped the young master too for what Jacqueline did to him, but it was only a few whips.

This time, there were more than that.

Although Frederick didn’t really count how many of them, he could tell there were more than a dozen whips.

“Henry, you still refuse to say it?” Finally, the old man was tired of the whipping. He stopped and panted heavily, looking at the man on the ground with a great deal of pain.

There was no other word than ‘wretched’ to describe Henry who was lying on the ground now.

His clothes were torn off due to the whipping and his entire back was covered with blood.

His body twitched because of extreme pain. His eyes were closed tightly, his entire hair was soaked wet with sweat, and his face was pale and weak, looking like a dead person.

The old man felt a pain in his heart looking at the grandson that he whipped. “Henry, are you still refusing to say it? Alright then, let me say it!”

The old man threw his whip to the floor, held onto his cane, and tremblingly sat on the chair. “I feel no qualms upon my entire life that I have not done anything bad. But I never thought that the grandson that I raised would be so disappointing. Henry, let me ask you. Deep down in your heart, do you hate me for forcing you to marry Yvonne?”

Henry did not lose consciousness. He replied weakly and hoarsely as he tried to peel one of his eyes open to look at the old man, “No…”

“No?” The old man sneered, “I don’t think this is the case. If you don’t hate me, then why didn’t you live with Yvonne for the past three years of your marriage? No wonder you guys had no child over the years. Both of you were not even staying in the same room. I wouldn’t have known about this if Sue hadn’t told me about it!”

As a grandfather, the old man thought that it was better for him to not interfere with the lives of his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, he never paid attention to them.

That was why he didn’t know that both of them had been lying to him all this time!

He had been lied to for three years! They were really good at this!

“I’m sorry, Grandpa…” Henry knew that the old man had figured out everything between him and Yvonne. There was nothing else that he could say other than to apologize.

The old man hammered his chest heartily. “You shouldn't be apologizing to me. It’s Yvonne who you should apologize to. I know that you hate me for arranging your marriage, but you can’t vent your dissatisfaction on me. That’s why you vented your dissatisfaction on her. You didn’t live with her, you’re really…”

Speaking of this, the old man tremblingly pointed to Henry with his other hand. “This is really disappointing. I don’t remember teaching you to vent your anger out on others. How did you learn this? Although I forced you to marry Yvonne three years ago, I also gave you the opportunity to resist it. But you just let it slip away!”

Henry was the only grandson he had.

If the grandson was really dissatisfied with the arranged marriage, he could definitely resist it.

If he did resist it, the old man would not have forced him to get married.

The old man closed his eyes sadly when he thought of this. “Henry, you’re so good at business. Why are you messed up in terms of relationships? I wouldn’t be this angry if you left Yvonne alone just because I forced you to get married. But what I’m really angry about is why do you not have the sense of right and wrong?”

“Grandpa, I didn’t…” Henry moved his body and tried to explain to the old man, but he was unable to complete the sentence due to the sharp pain in his back.

It took him so much effort to say these few words.

“You didn’t?” The old man glared at him. “I’m asking you. Have I told you not to see the Conrads’ daughter and stay together with Yvonne? Not only did you keep a secret about that woman’s illness, but you spent most of the nights with her at the hospital that you didn’t even go home. What do you take Yvonne as?”

Henry’s eyebrows trembled, but he remained silent.

The old man took a breath, suppressing his anger and continued, “I thought these were bewildering, but I never expected that what you did after made me even angrier. How can you let your wife donate her bone marrow to the other woman? And it didn’t just happen once!”

“It was only once. I didn’t agree the second time,” Henry said while gasping for breath.

The old man looked at him without any expression. “Yeah, you didn’t agree, but the moment Dominic kidnapped Yvonne, he was already planning to put the blame on you. Your wife’s bone marrow was taken and your child was killed. And yet, you’re willing to take the blame for them. I’m asking you, Henry. Do you have a conscience?”

Henry replied firmly, “I do!”

“Yes, you do, but your heart has gone to the Conrad family. Even if you don’t love Yvonne, you should have protected her anyway. After all, she’s your wife and she carried your child in her belly. Did you get justice for her? Have you avenged for your child?”

Henry’s eyes darkened. “...No.”

“That’s right, you didn’t. You didn’t do anything. You didn’t even stop the Conrad family for doing this. I was wondering, is that Conrad girl that attractive that you have lost your sense of right and wrong?” the old man asked angrily.

Henry picked himself up from the ground and sat up. “Grandpa, this has nothing to do with Jackie.”

“Why? Why are you still protecting the woman at this stage even when you’re facing me? Henry, do you really love her that much?” The old man trembled angrily.

Henry gasped and replied, “This has nothing to do with love. Dominic was the one who did all this. It has nothing to do with Jackie at all. She’s innocent.”

“Ugh!” The old man hit the table with his palm and the teacups jumped from the surface. “Innocent? I’m afraid you’re the only one who feels that way. I know what kind of person Jacqueline is better than you. You were blinded by her, thinking that she’s good in every way. Even if she didn’t participate in this matter, the fact that she took Yvonne’s bone marrow tells me that she’s not innocent, so…”

Henry looked at the old man, waiting for his next words.

The corner of the old man’s lips twitched. “So Henry, let me ask you again. Do you want to get justice for Yvonne and your child? If you don’t do it, then I’ll do it. You do know that I’ve been looking forward to seeing my great-grandson and just when it was about to happen, he’s gone because of the Conrad family. How could I let the family go!”

No matter the old and recent grudges, he had to get justice from them.

The Conrad family dared to do all these things to the Lancaster family just because of this incompetent grandson. They forced out the bone marrow from his granddaughter-in-law and killed his great-grandson. What’s worse was that they even asked his grandson to take the blame for them.

He was going to make the Conrads pay for every single matter.

“Grandpa, how are you planning to deal with the Conrad family?” Henry asked with a tense expression while ignoring the pain in his back.

The old man narrowed his ferocious eyes. “I will definitely make the Conrad family disappear from this world and let the father-daughter pair kneel in front of Yvonne to apologize for their wrongdoings.”

“No!” Henry stopped him.

The old man’s angry face flushed. “What? Do you feel sorry for them?”

“No.” Henry stood up while holding the chair beside him. Henry couldn’t help but groan in pain. “Grandpa, we can definitely destroy the Conrad family. But if they insist on fighting back, we will take some damage as well.”

The old man frowned slightly upon hearing this. “What’s your plan then? I’m telling you, the Conrad family must learn a lesson!”
