Chapter - 102

Hannah was aggrieved, “Dad, you should reflect on yourself before blaming Daniel. Have you forgotten how you’ve treated us like dirt all these years? Did you really ever regard Daniel as your son?”

Unprecedentedly, Daniel stood his ground. “Dad, I think Hannah is right.”

Adam’s face darkened, “You… You’re such a henpecked wimp under the thumb of your wife.”

“I hereby declare that you, Daniel Hinton, are no longer my son. Jeremy is now my one and only son.”

Daniel was knocked sideways by his father’s words as a wave of sadness enveloped him.

How can father cut ties with me without a second thought?

My father must be the most ruthless man in the world.

Adam looked at Jeremy anticipatingly in the eyes. “Jeremy, dad is too old to hold out against the horrendous situation in prison. Dad hopes you can admit the charges so I can escape from this. Don’t worry, you will be the sole beneficiary under my will.”

Jeremy made up his mind after realizing that he had his back to the wall.

“I want to make a confession. I will spill everything. Adam Hinton was actually the mastermind behind the crime. He coerced me and Lily into switching the bid document by threatening to cut ties with me. We did it under duress! We’re innocent!”

Lily chipped in with an innocent face, “That’s true. Grandpa was the one who forced us to switch the document. He said he will expel us from the Hinton family if we don’t do as he said.”

What?!

Adam was confounded by their back-stabbing.

He had always been a doting grandpa and father, but his son and granddaughter were going to sacrifice him for their own sake now.

No… This can’t be real! It’s not real!

Jeremy has always been an obedient son who was protective of me.

Jeremy has even said he’s willing to sacrifice his own life for my wellbeing so I could live to a ripe old age.

But it turned out, not only was Jeremy unwilling to admit criminal liability, he was now treating Adam as cannon fodder.

Adam felt a rise in his pressure. The next moment before he knew it, he blacked out.

It was overwhelming for a decrepit old man like Adam to take the blow.

Daniel panicked and he immediately grabbed hold of Adam. “Dad, are you alright…”

However, Jeremy shoved Daniel aside and started making slanderous allegations, “Daniel Hinton, look what you’ve done! Dad passed out because of you!”

Daniel’s face turned purple in rage. “That’s a bloody lie! Dad fainted because of you!”

Jeremy denied, “Bullshit! Dad wouldn’t have passed out if you hadn’t called the cops.”

Daniel was unwilling to harp with Jeremy. “I’m not going to waste my breath on you. We better save dad instead of pointing fingers at each other.”

Daniel was going to carry Adam but Jeremy beat him to it. “I’ll save dad! Daniel Hinton, you’ll be the one to blame if anything happens to dad. If you still care about dad, you better withdraw the charges.”

Jeremy carried Adam and then turned to Madeleine, “Dr. Madeleine, please save my dad!”

Madeleine led Jeremy into her clinic.

Dylan seemed bothered as he looked at Daniel, “Mr. Hinton, what should we do now…?”

Daniel sighed wearily and said, “Let’s save my dad first.”

Dylan nodded, “Mm, alright.”

“Madeleine, how’s my dad?” asked Jeremy.

Madeleine furrowed her brows, “According to my preliminary diagnosis, he’s suffering from a stroke. I suggest sending him to a hospital. Lily, call an ambulance.”

Lily was about to make a call when Jeremy stopped her, “Lily, wait! I believe Dr. Madeleine can save your grandpa.”

Madeleine said impatiently, “I said he’s suffering from stroke, there’s nothing I can do…”

Jeremy interrupted her words, “Dr. Madeleine, if you can’t save my father, I believe there’s no use sending him to the hospital. It would just be a waste of time and money.”

Madeleine lifted her head and stared at Jeremy, “What do you mean?”
