The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 178 Howard Refuses to Hand Over Aiden.

Amanda was slightly startled. What do you mean? Grandpa wouldn’t go to such extremes, would he?

“You’re exaggerating. I don’t believe he would stoop to that extent-

Her words abruptly halted as Elias sneered contemptuously. “Do you think you comprehend my grandfather better than I do? When it concerns the Winters Family lineage, he’s more ruthless than anyone else.”
