Chapter 114 I'll Keep You Company and Fight to the End
"Grandpa..."
Antonio still wanted to say something, but Harrison stopped him in a cold voice, "Leave that woman."
Antonio squinted at Harrison when hearing this icy order and questioned, "Did you investigate on, grandpa?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
His gaze toward Harrison became a bit cold.
Harrison snorted and said, "You brought us such a strong enemy. Shouldn't I, the patriarch of the Tucker family, investigate the whole story? Or should I just let you keep bringing us troubles?"
"Are you frightened, grandpa? You're afraid of the Shawn family and even a young lamb from the family. That's why people say the Tucker family is inferior to the Shawn family."
Before Antonio could finish, Harrison grabbed the crutch beside him and dashed it at Antonio with great force, shouting, "Shut up!" Though Harrison appeared to be tough and strict outwardly, he was indeed a tender person. But now he was glaring at his grandson with his grey, blurred eyes wide open.
Among his peers in the Tucker family, Antonio was the most prominent one. However, he was very lazy. Harrison had always thought his future was promising, but he hadn't expected that he would bring the Tucker family such a strong enemy.
Though people had been saying that the Tucker family was inferior to the Shawn family, no one dared to talk about this in front of Harrison. At this moment, Harrison's face went red with rage. This was actually his sore point!
Antonio, who always had a smile on his face, looked different at this moment. Harrison had used great force when he poked Antonio with his crutch, however, the latter only had stubbornness in his eyes. He didn't even dodge the crutch, just letting his grandfather beat him.
The butler behind couldn't bear to watch it anymore and persuaded Harrison, "Please don't be angry, my Lord. Mr. Antonio Tucker is still young and he still needs your instructions as he doesn't understand many things. He will understand this one day."
Harrison snorted and shouted at Antonio in a fit of rage, "Don't go to see that woman anymore!"
Antonio suddenly clenched his fists, glared at Harrison, and retorted, "Impossible!"
"Dare you say that again!" Harrison, who had just calmed down, got angry again. He snapped, "Antonio, dare you say it again!"
Of course, he had the guts!
"I said, I would never give up on her!"
"You!" Harrison's chest heaved up and down because of anger. He snapped, "Fine! Fine! Fine! You can do things independently now!" While scolding Antonio, Harrison turned to look for the crutch that was thrown away by him before and asked, "Elliot, where is my crutch?"
With an anxious look, Elliot, the butler standing behind, hid the crutch behind his back. Then he looked at Antonio and said, "Mr. Antonio Tucker, your grandfather was old now. Please just nod your head and agree to him."
But Antonio's handsome face was full of recalcitrance. He only pressed his thin lips together without saying anything.
"My crutch!" Harrison was angered. He glared at Elliot, reached out to him, and ordered, "Elliot! Give me the crutch!"
"Mr. Antonio Tucker!" Elliot still tried to persuade Antonio.
Antonio gritted his teeth and said ferociously, "Elliot, give him the crutch."
Harrison got more furious and his chest was heaving up and down more violently. He snatched the crutch from Elliot's hand and slammed it on Antonio's back, saying, "You are independent now? Huh?"
"Are you out of leash now?" The crutch hit Antonio's arm this time, leaving a red mark.
But Harrison was still angry. He raised his crutch and hit Antonio again and again. Though Antonio moaned due to the pain, his eyes still looked determined and unyielding.
"Do you want to put the whole Tucker family in danger just for this woman? Antonio, I didn't know when you became as affectionate as your brother!"
Antonio suddenly opened his eyes wide!
He abruptly raised his head and stared at the angry Harrison ferociously. At this moment, there was no longer cynicism or the affection he had when he looked at Caroline in his typical charming eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and he was staring at Harrison ferociously.
"Grandpa, my brother has already died!"
Everyone knew that Antonio was the grandson of the Tucker family, but they didn't know that Antonio had a brother, who died after he migrated to Clodon.
The loss of his brother was a pain that Antonio could never get rid of!
He stared at Harrison with a tinge of hatred in his eyes!
Sensing that something was going wrong, Elliot immediately pulled Harrison and said, "Please calm down, my lord."
Harrison was also shocked by the anger in Antonio's eyes. The room was then enveloped by weird silence. After a long while, Harrison loosened his hand and the crutch fell onto the marble floor, making a clear sound. The next moment, Harrison went limp and slammed onto the sofa behind him.
It seemed as if this old man who was still energetic minutes ago had grown older by ten years in an instant. A hint of frustration and regret flashed across his blurred eyes, but he still looked serious and tough.
Antonio still fixed his red eyes on the old man on the sofa. He suddenly closed his eyes hard to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes and gritted his teeth. When he opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes looked somehow peaceful and the red in them faded a bit.
"From today on, I will officially engage in the management of the Tucker Group." He stood straight and didn't move a bit.
Then he looked down at the old man on the sofa and said in a tough manner, "Caroline is the first woman whom I truly love, so I won't give up on her. This won't change even if we'll receive great pressure from Bentley."
He continued, "A man must bear the consequences of his own acts. Bentley did those things to get back at me. Since it was me who brought this disaster to the Tucker family, I will shoulder the responsibility alone and deal with Bentley by myself."
Harrison moved his lips, trying to say something, but he shut up when he spotted the determination in Antonio's eyes and heard his firm voice.
Before leaving, Antonio glanced at his grandfather who was resting on the sofa, and said blandly, "I'm not my brother, so I won't make the same choice. I won't give up on the woman I love because of you or anyone, and I have the ability to protect my woman and my family."
Harrison abruptly raised his head, but he could only see Antonio's back and could only watch his slender, tall figure disappearing at the door.
The butler Elliot called him, "My lord, Mr. Antonio Tucker..."
"Let him go." Harrison snorted, waved at Elliot, and continued, "I'm tired. You may leave now." Elliot then left. Harrison kept a straight face and his eyes looked extremely unfathomable. As for what kind of choice he would make later, he needed to see to what extent his promising grandson could accomplish.
Antonio's car roared on the viaduct.
The wind blew into the car through the opened window and messed up his black hair. Antonio dialed a number, put on his Bluetooth earphone, and spoke, "Bentley Shawn, listen, I won't give up on Caroline. And I'll also protect the Tucker family. Let's see who will win in the end!"
At the other end of the line, Bentley tapped his phone case with his slender fingers. He curled up his lips into a smile when he heard Antonio's words and then said in a deep, charming voice, "Okay then. Whatever you want to do, I will keep you company and fight to the end. But you can never touch my things."
They hung up almost simultaneously without saying any redundant words and respectively got themselves prepared for this combat.
