Chapter 114 I Would Keep You Company and Fight to the End

“Grandfather...” Franklin was about to see something, but Duncan stopped him and said coldly,

“Leave that woman.”

Hearing the ice-cold order from his grandfather, suddenly, Franklin squinted at Duncan, “Did you
investigate on me, grandfather?”

His eyes became colder.

Duncan snorted, “You started all of this and brought us such a strong enemy. I am the patriarch of this
big family. Shouldn’t I know the whole story? Or should I just let you keep bringing us troubles?’”

“Are you afraid of the Shaw family, grandfather? You are afraid of a young lamb from the Shaw family.
That’s why people say the Cordon family is inferior that the Shaw family.”

Before Franklin could finish, Duncan grabbed the cane beside him and threw it towards Franklin in a
tough way, “Shut up!” Though the old man appeared to be tough outwardly, he was timid inwardly. But
now his gray eyes opened wide and stared at Franklin, his grandson, in fury.

Among his peer in the Cordon family, Franklin was the most prominent one. But he was lazy. Duncan
had always thought his future was promising, but who knew that he would bring the Cordon family such
a strong foe?

Though people had been saying that the Cordon family was inferior to the Shaw family, no one dared to
talk about this in front of Duncan. Now his face went red with rage...This was a big anxiety to him!

Now, Franklin almost became a different person from who he used to be. When the cane was thrown at
him, he was so stubborn that he didn’t even move to avoid it and just let his grandfather keep beating
him again and again.



The butler behind couldn’t bear to watch any more and persuaded Duncan by saying, “Please don’t be
angry, my Lord. Young master is still young and don’t understand many things. With your instructions
and teaching, he will be better.”

Then Duncan shouted to Franklin in rage, “Stopping seeing that woman!”

Franklin clenched his hands and stared at Duncan angrily, “Impossible!”

“Say that again!” The fire in Duncan’s heart was just put out, now it began growing again, “Franklin, you
say that again!”

If you said so！

“I said, I would never give up on her!”

“You!” Duncan’s chest was heaving heavily, “Fine! Fine, fine, fine! Your wings are tough now!” While
scolding Franklin, Duncan turned to fetch the cane that was thrown away by him before, “Elton, where
is the cane? Cane!”

The butler standing behind was full of anxiety and kept hiding the cane behind his back. Then he
looked at Franklin, “Young master, your grandfather was an old man now. Please just nod your head
and agree to him.”

But Franklin’s charming face was full of recalcitrance. He pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

“Cane!” Duncan stared at Elton furiously and reached his hand to him, “Elton! Give me the cane!”

“Young master!” Elton still wanted to persuade Franklin.

Franklin gritted his teeth and said, “Elton, give him the cane.”



Duncan got more furious and his chest was heaving more heavily. He snatched the cane from Elton’s
hand and threw it at Franklin’s back again, “You are tough now?”

“You are out of leash now?” The cane was thrown at Franklin’s arm this time and left blood there.

However, still angry, the old man raised the cane and beat him again and again. Though Franklin let
out a sound of pain, there was still determination in his eyes.

“You are willing to put the whole Cordon family in danger just for this woman. Franklin, I didn’t know
when you became as infatuated with love as your brother!”

All of a sudden, Franklin’s eyes opened wide!

Then he raised his head and stared at Duncan in overwhelming rage. In his charming eyes, there was
neither cynical feeling nor pure love. He was cynical before meeting Grace. After meeting Grace, there
was only love in his eyes whenever he looked at her. But now, there was nothing but rage in those
eyes.

“Grandfather, my brother has already died!”

Everyone knew that Franklin was the grandson of the Cordon family. But they didn’t know that Franklin
had a brother, who died after he migrated to America.

The loss of this brother weighed heavily on Franklin!

He stared at Duncan with a tinge of hatred in his eyes!

The old butler saw something was going wrong and held Duncan immediately, “Please calm down, my
lord.”



Duncan was also shocked by the anger in Franklin’s eyes. The air was frozen and everything went
silent...After a long while, Duncan loosened his hand and the cane fell on the marble floor with a
“DANG”. Then his body went limp and fell on the couch behind him with a “PANG”.

The old man who was energetic minutes ago seemed to have grown older by 10 years now. In his
eyes, there was a flash of regret and sadness. But his face was still tightened up and he still looked
tough.

Franklin still stared at the old man on couch in anger. Then he closed his eyes to hide the complicated
emotions and gritted his teeth. Seconds later, he opened his eyes again and now there was some
peace in his eyes and the anger had somewhat dispersed.

“From now on, I am officially engaged in the management of Cordon Group.” He stood straight and
didn’t move at all. Then he looked down at the old man resting on couch and said toughly,

“Grace is the first woman that I have truly loved. I will never give up on her. No matter how much
pressure the Shaw family was giving to the Cordon family, I won’t give up on her.”

“A man must bear the consequences of his own acts. Caden did all those things to get back at me.
Sine it is me who brought the Cordon family such a danger, then I will shoulder the responsibilities
alone. I will enter the Cordon Group and confront Caden by myself.”

Duncan opened his mouth like he was going to say something. But after seeing the determination in
Franklin’s eyes and hearing the firmness in his tone, Duncan closed his mouth.

Before leave, Franklin looked at the old man on couch again and said plainly,

“I am not my brother. I won’t make the same choice that he made. I will not give up on the woman I love
because of you or because of anyone. And I have the ability to protect my woman and my family.”



Hearing this, Duncan raised his head. But he could only see the slender figure of Franklin disappearing
at the door.

The butler said to Duncan, “My lord, the young master...”

“Let him go.” Duncan snorted and waved to Elton, “I am tired. You can go now.” Elton left the hall. The
face of Duncan was still tightened up, and something was going on in his mind...He would need to
make a choice. But before that, he needed to see what his grandson could accomplish!

Franklin was driving on a viaduct.

Wind blew in through the window and messed up his black hair. Franklin dialed a number and put on
Bluetooth headset, “Caden, listen to me. I will not give up on Grace and I will defend the Cordon family.
Lets’ see who will win in the end!”

At the other end of the phone, Caden’s slender fingers knocked on his phone case twice. Hearing what
Franklin said, his lips went up. He answered in a deep voice, “Okay then. Whatever you want to do, I
will keep you company and fight to the finish. But you can never touch my things.”

They almost hung out the phone at the same time. Without redundant words, they both began to
prepare themselves.
