Chapter 655: Chapter 651: He Deserved to be Beaten to Death
Alexander Lewis was completely disoriented by the slap from the old man.
“Grandpa!”
Mr. Lewis directly picked up the jar of chess pieces beside him and threw it fiercely at Alexander.
“I’m not your grandpa! Are you worthy of your brother Roy like this?”
A jar full of chess pieces scattered all over Alexander’s head and face, the jar was made of ceramic, and it immediately pierced a hole in his forehead.
Blood was oozing out of the small hole.
Alexander hurriedly covered his forehead with his hand.
“Grandpa, I didn’t! I saw all these things on the internet and came to tell you to avoid tarnishing our family’s reputation. How did this become my fault?”
So far, Alexander still insisted that he had nothing to do with this matter.
At this moment, the butler returned with the tea.
He was taken aback as he saw Alexander’s disheveled appearance.
“Oh my, what happened to Mr. Alexander?”
Before Alexander could argue, the old man yelled.
“He deserves to be smashed to death!”
The butler glanced at the old man’s crooked beard which indicated his rage and dared not interfere.
He just put down the tea and wisely left.
“Grandpa, I have nothing to do with this. Richelle and I have no grievances, besides, she’s a married woman, how could I possibly take action against her?”
Alexander held a tissue against his forehead, although he had been hit, he was somewhat complacent.
Anyway, with Roy “dead,” Alexander was the oldest of his generation in the Lewis family.
Old Mr. Lewis was getting old and, considering his own funeral, he dared not be too hard on Alexander.
Naturally, Mr. Lewis understood these little thoughts of his.
He sneered and looked at Alexander with contempt.
“Alexander, where do you get the confidence to call Richelle a married woman? Don’t think too highly of yourself. You just won the birth lottery by being born into the Lewis family. You do have a much more impressive background than Richelle, but without the blessings and halo from your ancestors, you are not even qualified to carry her shoes!”
Alexander didn’t expect his grandfather to side with Richelle, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and strategy.
“Grandpa, even if Richelle is that amazing, she’s still not a member of the Lewis family. You must’ve forgotten that she and Roy haven’t even received their marriage certificate!”
Mr. Lewis knew that these beasts were all clinging to Richelle’s identity and wouldn’t let go.
“Whether she and Roy have a certificate or not is irrelevant. Aren’t the three children, Timmy, Timothy, and Tiffany, enough to secure her position in the Lewis family?”
Seeing that the old man didn’t take the things on the internet seriously, Alexander reminded him.
“Grandpa, I understand what you mean. If Richelle abided by her duties as a wife and was loyal to Roy, I, as his brother, would definitely have no objection or resentment towards her. But look, in such a short time since taking over Lewis Group, she’s already caused such a scandal. Doesn’t the Lewis family care about its reputation? And where should the prestige of Lewis Group be placed?”
Old Mr. Lewis’s heart grew colder and colder. Of his many descendants, only Roy’s bloodline was truly upright and honest.
The others were all garbage and beasts!
“Alexander, those few photos on the internet, where do you see Richelle and Nathan having an affair? Also, those screenshots from the group chats are all despicable, malicious people, hiding behind the internet to fabricate dark rumors and slander. Do these deserve to be used to frame somebody? Where is Alexander Lewis’s brain?”
Alexander really couldn’t understand what kind of love potion the bitch Richelle had given Grandpa.
“Grandpa, as the saying goes, flies don’t bite seamless eggs. I don’t believe that there’s really nothing between them. Grandpa, think about it, she’s the wife of Roy, who owns the number one business in the Federation, what qualifications does she have to master everything about Lewis Group in such a short time? Isn’t it because Nathan taught her? But Nathan is not a fool either, he has to get some return for what he’s given, right?”
Mr. Lewis didn’t want to provoke him, but since Alexander insisted, he said.
“Alexander, you’re an ordinary person with the mental capacity of a soybean. So, you can’t understand that for a smart person like Richelle, she might only need to spend months or even a month to master a field of knowledge, which is more than what an idiot like you can learn in a lifetime. Even Roy wouldn’t be able to compare with her, let alone Nathan! Otherwise, do you think their three children are exceptionally intelligent because they inherited their mommy’s genes?”
By this point, Mr. Lewis didn’t want to waste words with Alexander anymore.
“Before today, I always thought that you might be able to help Roy and relieve some of the burden on his shoulders in the future. But now, it seems that the possibility is slim.”
Hearing the old man’s tone, Alexander suddenly felt a bit of panic, and his previous certainty seemed to vanish in an instant.
“Grandpa…”
He instinctively wanted to defend himself.
However, the old man raised a hand to stop him.
“You don’t need to return to the Lewis Group tomorrow. And the shares you were supposed to get from me, forget about it. With your character and behavior, having more money would only bring harm to more innocent people!”
