One Night Surprise

Chapter 232 Why Can’t I Suspect You?

Alexander’s question silenced Scott, who was still holding onto his brush.

As he spoke, Alexander’s powerful voice resounded through the study. “Three years ago, if you didn’t place so much trust in James, his mind wouldn’t have strayed and he wouldn’t have harmed Jordan. Back then, you said that you wouldn’t pursue the matter for the sake of family. But, now that I know what happened, I didn’t think that you would use him again.”

His tone obviously showed how disappointed he was in Scott.

Essentially, Scott was a force to be reckoned with, and he was always fair with his awards and punishments. He wasn’t the kind of person to neglect wrongdoings for the sake of family.

In fact, the person who was behind Jordan’s almost-murder was nearly uncovered. If it wasn’t because Scott didn’t allow Alexander to continue investigating, James would be in prison by now.

“What happened three years ago may not have been James’ doing, and there wasn’t any tangible evidence in the first place.” Scott frowned, his eyebrows knitting together in anger.

“What do you mean no tangible evidence? Grandpa, I’ve shown you the evidence, but you told me not to pursue it anymore. You taught me to distinguish right from wrong. Deep down, you know the truth of the matter. Otherwise, why would you say such a thing?” Alexander’s face darkened. “Perhaps your mind is muddled because you’re getting older.”

The last few letters of a quote that he was writing turned into a giant stain. The old man’s deep voice, thick with fury, rang out in the room. “I may be old, but my mind isn’t muddled. Alexander, do you really want me to make it clear to you? Do you really think that I don’t know who nearly caused Jordan’s death?”

Alexander’s brows furrowed. “What do you mean by that?”

Scott’s face was cold, and the majestic aura that he exuded was so oppressive that it left Alexander breathless. “Back when I wanted you to get married and have children, you refused. You wanted to infuriate me, so you came back with Jordan. Tell me; have you ever carried out your responsibilities as Jordan’s father? There are many questionable points in the incident that happened three years ago. During that period, James wasn’t the only person that Jordan’s nanny was in frequent contact with.”

Anyone would have suspicions about this unsettled matter, but Alexander didn’t expect that his grandfather would doubt him.

“Are you suspecting me?”
