243 The childhood conflict (2)

“Really? Do you have to do what Grandpa said to you? You are still very young and naive. Do you think no one would know what you are trying to achieve by being friends with the enemies? It’s obvious as day, Damien and that’s Why Maverick doesn’t like you. Not only are you following Grandpa’s plans, but you are also becoming a nuisance.

He looked at Maverick, waiting for him to deny the allegations the he saw him as a nuisance. He was waiting earnestly for Maverick to push Ruben and call him a liar, but Maverick didn’t. He only sneered and walked out.

Damien wanted to run after him to explain his own part but Ruben held him, preventing him from leaving. However, Damien refused to be stopped and forcefully pushed Ruben away, causing him to hit his head on the edge of the table.
