Entwined Destinies: Captured Hearts

Chapter 952 Atwood Barret, You’re Looking For Death

As soon as Enoch spoke, Alyssa added, “Your father’s right, Stanford. George is family, but can you trust the others to really care about you?”Stanford gazed at the pair coldly. They expressed no concern, or at the least, pretended to care for his well-being at all ever since their arrival. But what were they saying was good for him now? He snorted, “Do the both of you really care about me? Are the both of you here today to visit me, or is it for your son?”Enoch felt humiliated. Just as he was about to speak, Alyssa stopped him. She was afraid that her husband couldn’t hold it in and start a fight with Stanford, so she spoke first, “Of course we care about you. We saw the news and you lost so much money. If you had someone you could trust at work, you wouldn’t have suffered such a loss. I’m telling you, they’re useless.”After Alyssa saw the news, she couldn’t sleep for the whole night. She kept thinking about all the things she could’ve done with the billions of dollars. Even the thought of it hurt her. With that, she was more determined than ever to get her son into J&Y Group and obtain half of the family’s wealth. Stanford didn’t want to waste more time on this matter, “Did you know that your son caused trouble in the company the last time he came? Is he out from the mental hospital already?””No matter what, he’s your brother. How could you…””Did he regard me as his brother when he caused trouble in the company?” Stanford retorted without waiting for Enoch to finish his words. Enoch couldn’t say anything, or rather, he did not know what to say, so Alyssa stepped in, “He had no ill intentions…”That earned her a glare from Stanford, which sent chills all over her body. His gaze scared her, so she swallowed all of her unfinished words.”I’m tired. The both of you may leave now,” Stanford wanted them to leave as he refused to waste more time arguing with them.”I heard your legs are injured. It’s best to have someone you trust to take over the company for the time being, and George is our best choice. Stanford, you and George are both my sons. I would only wish for nothing but the best for both of you.” Enoch was still on George’s side, and he wanted to use this chance to get his younger son into the company, “You even sent him to the mental hospital previously. As I said, he’s still your younger brother no matter what happens. If he had done something wrong to you before, the both of you should be even now, shouldn’t you?”Stanford was on the verge of wrath. If it was any other day in the past, he could leave right away when he didn’t want to listen to their blabbers. However, he couldn’t do that now, and his patience had reached its limits. They said they cared about him, but they asked nothing about his injury ever since they stepped into this room. All they did was fought for their younger son’s benefits.’What did they say they were? My father? My younger brother?’Stanford was disheartened.”George is your younger brother. On the other hand, the Atwood guy is not related to you at all. You should know who to choose.””Atwood isn’t related to me, but he has been by my side, taking care of me after the accident. Let me ask you, why isn’t my family around?”Stanford asked calmly. He showed no trace of anger or dissatisfaction at all. He could do that because he understood them, which was why he didn’t want to continue this argument anymore. However, this couple wasn’t willing to leave just yet.”Stanford…””Mr. James.” At this time, Atwood entered the room. Enoch stopped speaking to glare at him, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know how to knock?”Atwood replied, “The door wasn’t closed, so I came in.””Even if that’s the case, you need to show respect too. I was talking to my son, and you just interrupted…””I allowed him to enter my room without having to knock first. Do you have any opinions on that too?” Stanford was impatient since long ago, “Atwood, see off the guests for me.””Stanford…””Another word and I’ll donate all of my wealth away. George can dream about getting a penny from me.” Stanford didn’t want to argue on the rights and wrongs with them, but Enoch and Alyssa clearly were coming for his wealth. They kept bugging him just because they wanted to get George into his company. They emphasized family relations, but have they ever treated Stanford as a family? They kept emphasizing that Stanford and George were brothers, but have they ever told George the same words when he came to Stanford’s company to cause trouble and ruin his reputation? The pair would only say this to Stanford, hoping that he’d take a step back. Have they ever treated him as a family?Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Stanford’s heart was stone cold. He wasn’t moved by their words at all.”You’d better stop bothering me in the future. If you irritate me even further, I’ll stop paying your medical bills,” Stanford said ruthlessly. Enoch’s expression turned ugly. He was an old, unhealthy man without any savings. If Stanford were to stop supporting him financially, he wouldn’t be able to survive. After Alyssa married him, she stopped working and became a full-time housewife. Both of them depended solely on the medical fees given by Stanford, where the excess would be for their living expenses. They desperately wanted to get George to work in Stanford’s company because with that, George could get a part of the company’s shares. By then, they’d achieve financial freedom and could break free from Stanford’s control.”I’m your dad!” Enoch growled.???.(n)(o)???Sh???.?o(m)”I don’t have a choice.” If Stanford could choose, he would never have chosen Enoch to be his father.”I suggest the both of you leave now,” Atwood said, stretching out his hands to push Enoch’s wheelchair. Only to get a roar from the elderly man in response, “Get the fuck away!”Atwood wasn’t bothered. He continued to push Enoch’s wheelchair out, albeit a little forcefully.”Atwood Barret, you’re looking for death!” Enoch slammed his fist on the wheelchair’s armrest in fury. He couldn’t get up, so no matter how angry or how he threatened Atwood, he was still forcefully pushed out of the room. Without Enoch around, Alyssa did not dare to say anything. She followed behind him and left the room too.”I’m sorry to do this, but Mr. James needs to rest. He can’t be disturbed, so perhaps the both of you shouldn’t visit him anymore in the future.” Atwood wasn’t bothered by Enoch’s anger at all.”Who do you think you are?” Enoch pointed his finger, which was trembling because he was so mad, at Atwood. Atwood remained calm and left after giving Enoch a simple nod. Alyssa took over and pushed the wheelchair. She glanced at Atwood, “He went overboard. How could he treat you like this?”Then, her topic turned in another direction, “I bet he only dared to treat you this way because he knows he’s important to Stanford. It looks like your son is on the outsider’s side.”With Alyssa, who was adding fuel to the fire, Enoch became angrier than he initially was.”You’re still his father regardless of what happens. It’s too disrespectful of him to treat you like this.” Alyssa continued to say. Enoch scolded her, “Stop it!”Alyssa shut up in an instant and thought to herself that Atwood definitely wouldn’t give them any money anymore if Enoch were dead. She pursed her lips and continued to Enoch’s wheelchair. Along the way, she started to complain again, “Your son is too rebellious. You have to be tougher to him.”Enoch looked back at her. ‘Am I not tough enough?'”Don’t speak of this matter anymore.”He had enough! Stanford had no respect for him at all, humiliating him again and again. He even embarrassed Enoch in front of an outsider this time around.”What about George then?””I could care less about him now.” Enoch was frustrated to his limits. He wanted the best for his younger son too, but what could he do when Stanford was so stubborn?w(w)w.??(v)???(h)(o)m?.???He was furious. Alyssa did not know what to do as well. If she had a plan, she wouldn’t have persuaded Enoch to come to the hospital. Stanford had changed. He wasn’t the kid she used to know anymore, and it was more difficult to deal with him now. It was too difficult to snatch anything from him.”Sigh.” Alyssa regretted, thinking to herself that she should’ve been more ruthless. If she had killed him back then, none of this would’ve happened today! Stanford had taken away all the family’s assets, and they needed to depend on his charity to continue with their lives.W??.?????S???e.(c)(o)?”George can work somewhere else first.” Enoch didn’t want his son to spend his time in vain his whole life.”He doesn’t have a diploma. What kind of job can he get?” Alyssa complained.
