"Mr. Whitlock!" Natalie was about to say something more, but Peter had already stormed away in a rage.

Natalie watched him and sighed to herself.

At the same time, she couldn't help blaming herself.

If she hadn't been so immature when she was younger and had pretended to be Remington's fiancee to rile Tobias up, things wouldn't be like this.

In YS Group president's office.

Benjamin knocked on the office door.

"Come in," Tobias said.

Benjamin hurried in with a look of panic on his face.

Tobias frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Benjamin was miserable. "Mr. Whitlock, your grandfather is here."

Peter had never stepped into YS Group, and God knew why he'd suddenly come here, and in such a rage. He looked like he wanted to stomp YS Group to the ground. Tobias' eye twitched.

If Peter was here... He could pretty much guess what the reason was.

It seemed that Cecilia had failed to persuade him, and had possibly even angered him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way here.

It looked like things wouldn't be resolved so easily... "Invite him in," Tobias said in his deep voice.

Benjamin was just about to leave the office when a loud, strong voice rang out.

"You don't have to invite me. I've already invited myself."

Peter strode in haughtily.

He was wearing a suit. Although his hair was gray, he looked particularly lively.

Especially those eyes of his, shooting out a gaze as sharp as a sword.

Benjamin smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Whitlock, what are you talking about? Our president has been hoping for you to visit him."

Peter snorted. "Benjamin, you're getting better and better at flattery."

Benjamin was speechless.

He laughed dryly. "Well then, I still have some work to do so I'll leave the two of you to it."

After saying that, Benjamin quickly walked out of the room.

Peter looked at Benjamin's departing figure and said, "This brat is pretty good at running away."

Meanwhile, Tobias stood up. "Grandpa, please have a seat."

Peter directly sat down on the sofa.

Tobias personally poured him a cup of tea.

After taking a sip, Peter's gaze fell on Tobias' face. "I came here to see you."

Tobias replied, "Grandpa, you've come all the way to my company. Who else could you be looking for?"

Peter was at a loss for words.

He coughed. "Don't get smart with me. You have to leave that Natalie Godfrey!"

Tobias' temple twitched.

Sure enough, Peter had come all the way to look for him just because of Natalie.

"Her brashness is really something else. I went to look for her, but she didn't respect me at all and acted all sarcastic. I almost exploded from fury!" Peter rambled in a huff, his eyebrows tightly knotted. A dim light flashed in Tobias' eyes.

He looked at Peter, an imperceptible nervousness in his tone. "Grandpa, you went to look for Natalie?"

"Yes!"

"She didn't agree to break up with me?"

"That's right, the audacity of that woman! She's actually still fantasising about staying entangled with you!" The more Peter thought about it, the angrier he got.

The anxiety that Tobias felt suddenly dissipated, and a faint smile formed on his lips.

It seemed that Natalie was serious this time.

She really wanted to be with him.

That was why Peter hadn't managed to convince Natalie to leave him.

If this were in the past, Natalie probably would've caused a fuss about breaking up with him after hearing some rumours.

Things were different this time.

She had truly made up her mind this time.

She wanted to be with him, and she wanted to be with Hayden.

When he saw that Tobias was actually smiling, Peter was stunned for a moment, then he flew into a hissy fit.

He was already fuming, yet Tobias, who'd always been his pride and joy, was smiling. Wasn't he doing this to purposely humiliate him?

Seeing red, Peter was so infuriated that he flung his teacup to the floor.

It smashed on the ground.

The teacup shattered into pieces and tea splashed all over the floor.

Tobias quickly concealed his smile.

"Don't be angry, Grandpa. Here, let me rub your back." At that, Tobias really placed his hand on Peter's back and started patting him. Peter's heart jolted.

He knew that this grandson had always been arrogant, yet he was now taking the initiative to rub his back.

Peter's fury inexplicably subsided a little, and with that, his heart also softened.

He didn't refuse Tobias' gesture and only huffed somewhat perfunctorily.

Tobias said in a gentle tone, "Grandpa, you're prejudiced against Natalie."

At the mention of Natalie, the rage in Peter's heart grew again.

His voice suddenly rose. "I'm prejudiced? What kind of prejudice could I have against that woman? There's something wrong with her personality! She's morally corrupt!" Throughout Peter's lifetime, he hated women with loose morals the most!

Tobias frowned slightly.

He felt a little uncomfortable at Peter's words.

However, Peter was his elder, after all, and he was still prejudiced against Natalie. It wouldn't be wise for him to go up against Peter at this moment.

Tobias fixed his gaze on Peter's face. "Grandpa, do you trust your grandson, then? Do you believe in your grandson's character?"

"Of course I do!" Peter's voice was filled with pride.

There was no arguing on Tobias' character. It was the best of the best.

Tobias then asked, "Grandpa, do you think your grandson would mistake someone's character? How could I fall in love with a morally corrupt woman?"

Peter did not know what to say.

A trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Tobias had set him up. He was digging a hole for himself.

Annoyed, Peter retorted forcefully, "You're blinded by lust. Once you've been blinded, you won't care about anything. She came to visit me as Remington's fiancee, and she was getting mixed up with him even though she'd given birth to your child! How can she have a good character?"

Tobias explained patiently, "Grandpa, I can guarantee you there's nothing going on between Natalie and Remington. The reason why she pretended to be Remington's fiancee was because she was mad at me."

To be honest, he was not fully clear himself as to why Natalie pretended to be Remington's fiancee and went to the United States. He had never asked Natalie about it either.

But he was willing to trust Natalie.

She had said that there was nothing between her and Remington, so there must be nothing at all.

So when Natalie came to the Whitlock family as Remington's fiancee at the start, she could only have done such a thing because she was angry with him, which was in line with Natalie's character. Peter huffed. "How angry could she have been to pretend to be her own man's brother's fiancee!"
