Limited Time Marriage: Nice to Meet You Mr. Foster

Chapter 417: Chapter 416: South Grant Strikes Back

South Grant listened to Jared Grant glaring at her now, his heart filled with compassion.

In this family, the most pitiable one is him.

Yet, the most hateful one is also him.

"Grandfather, those are just rumors outside, without any real evidence. How can you be misled as well? You are the head of the Grant Group, the one who founded it single-handedly. South thought you were the most discerning between right and wrong; how can you join them in accusing me?"

The words South Grant said were not really praising him. To say he founded the Grant Group single-handedly was extremely sarcastic.

Everyone present knew how the Grant Group came to be. Now that South Grant said Jared Grant founded it single-handedly, people around began to whisper quietly.

Jared Grant, although unable to hear what everyone was whispering, knew that everyone was aware the Grant Group was renamed from the Ellison Group, and his old face turned red.

Thus, at this moment, Jared Grant became even more furious out of shame.

"If it’s not you, who else? Who would do such a thing?"

South Grant looked at Jared Grant’s attitude and couldn’t help but laugh coldly in his heart.

Then he shrugged his shoulders, "If Grandfather has judged me guilty in his heart, there’s nothing I can do. Saying more would be contradicting you, so I simply won’t speak. If you say I did it, then I’ll admit it."

The more South Grant took on this posture, the more the people around felt South Grant was being wronged.

Back when Jared Grant changed the Ellison Group to the Grant Group, he promised in front of the old shareholders at the time that even if the Ellison Group was renamed, the heir would only be Claire Ellison’s descendants.

When Ian Grant returned from abroad that year, all the shareholders were united in following him.

Because Ian Grant was the legitimate heir.

Ian Grant’s son was to be the next heir.

Now that the heir was being wrongly accused by various people, everyone couldn’t help but look at each other. Though saying nothing, they all understood that Jared Grant was likely going to break his past promises.

However, they had no vested interest with South Grant, so even knowing he was suffering a loss, no one would stand up for him.

Jared Grant is a face-saving person. Seeing South Grant seeking everyone’s sympathy like this made him even angrier and more convinced that it was South who did it.

"You will leave the troupe immediately, and from now on, you are forbidden to act. If you are short of money, the Grant Family can support you. If I find out again that you’re doing anything to harm the Grant Family, opposing your second uncle, I won’t care who your maternal grandfather or uncle is!"

Jared Grant spoke with fierce words but weak inner strength; South Grant knew his anger at this time was merely to cover up his own guilt.

At this time, Joy Clayton came over to support Jared Grant and play the peacemaker.

"Jared, why be so harsh on the child? South is young, just teach him slowly."

Joy Clayton then turned to South Grant, with a kind expression on her face.

"South, quickly apologize to your grandfather and second uncle. They won’t hold it against you. Remember to listen to your grandfather in the future. What good is making movies? It’s tiring and dirty; there’s nothing to compete with that group of actors."

South Grant heard Joy Clayton refer to actors scornfully, and his gaze darkened slightly.

"Acting is an art, displaying another life through words, expressions, and body language. But as Grandma said, there are indeed such actors, the kind who are inconsistent inside and out, with a Buddha’s mouth and a snake’s heart, sweet words but a villain’s heart. They look so amiable and kind on the outside, yet are filthy and dirty behind closed doors. Such people are the true living actors."
