Chapter 224 Justice

Angrily, Gina turned to Vincent for help, "Dad, you know what Samuel had done for you and Smith Group. You can't force him out just because Joseph said he would come back. Samuel has done nothing that can't be fixed. Please don't kick us out!"

Vincent remained unmoved and replied quietly, "I think he may deserve it. He should pay for his behavior. I can't defend him just because he is my grandson, that would be unfair to Joseph."

After hearing Vincent's answer, Gina asked sarcastically, "Unfair? Is there any justice in our family? Everyone knows how biased you are."

"Asshole!" Vincent couldn't listen anymore. He didn't care about what anyone else thought about him and snarled, "I have my own mind and opinions. If you think that I am partial, then maybe you should ask yourself why, maybe because of your husband and son? What contribution have they made to Smith Group and our family?"

Brian, who kept silent all the time, spoke slowly, "Dad, I know that I have not been as important as my older brother ever since I was young. Your sarcasm and hurtful comments still haunt me, but I have never complained. After all, it would not have done any good because nothing is more important to you than Smith Group. But my son is my only hope; you can't dismiss his efforts to the company in just a wave of your hand. I can't believe you are insulting my family just to please Joseph!"

His bad health kept Brian from working at Smith Group, which was the reason Vincent despised his family. They lived in the mansion long ago but Vincent grew tired of them and forced them to move. They were treated like his daughter, Jenny, living in the West Yard far from the mansion.

Gina always held a grudge but encouraged Samuel, telling him, "You have to get ahead of Joseph. Shine in front of your grandpa because he is looking down on you but sooner or later he will regret it!"

His mother's reminder echoed in Samuel's heart for as long as he could remember. He treated Joseph like a natural enemy, but he was the one who always ended up frustrated. He thought of the saying, even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs, his grandfather protected Joseph like he was his cub.

Vincent did have a conscious thought and so he explained to Brian, "I didn't mean for you to be kicked out of the house. But, I do need you to move back to your home."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Vincent's face, he was about to reply when Jenny spoke up, "When you were arguing for your family, have you ever thought about how much my oldest brother did for this family when he was alive? I have never denied who established this family, but why did it continue getting better over the years? You know who deserves the credit!"

Gina was speechless and her eyes were full of rage. She was eager to fight with Jenny, but Brian put his hand on her arm to stop her. Gina had to calm down or Vincent would kick them out of the family entirely.

Samuel looked at them with a broken heart, "Mom, Dad, let's go!"

Even hearing Vincent's decision, Samuel refused to accept his fate. The plan to target Joseph and Kate had failed but if he continues, he would have the chance to fight another day. He knew that Joseph took him to the mansion and not to the police station to have his grandfather kick his family out. Therefore, Cassie would be free to move back in. It was ruthless, but everyone in the family valued their status and living in the old mansion.

"My son, you have to say something, let them know they can't push us around. And your grandpa should know how much you have done for Smith Group..."

"Enough, Mom, I was wrong this time, let's go," Samuel walked out of the room.

"Samuel!" Gina looked at her son, who didn't look back, leaving her broken. Her dreams had just come true, then they were taken away. She looked at those around her, they glared back with disgust. In desperation, she had no choice but to go pack her stuff.

"Mom, Aunt Jenny, let's go as well," Joseph took Kate's hand and nodded at the two women.

Vincent saw that he had been overlooked, so he hastily asked, "Joseph, you just promised me. Can I trust you?"

"Dad, Joseph has always been reliable. Now that you have his word, don't ask anymore," Jenny said.

"Okay," Vincent's tone became politer than ever. "I'm counting on you, Joseph."

Joseph was still silent and led Kate away from the old mansion.

Cassie looked at her son with mixed emotions. She was aware as to why Joseph took Samuel to the mansion, the answer was in his silence. Her son was not good at talking, but he always thought of his father's last words. Suddenly, she thought of how selfish she was to impose her wishes on him.
