Chapter 1000

• Gavin’s expression remained calm as he spoke in a steady tone, “Mr. Simon, I have no objection to Liza staying with the Rhett family for a short while. However, I can’t ignore the fact that Grandma Rhett wants to send her away to the suburbs. How can I be at ease knowing she’ll be isolated there? I think it’s best if I take her home with me. If she remains here, who knows what kind of schemes might be plotted against her?”
• At his words, Liza’s grip tightened on Gavin’s sleeve. Her face was pale with fear as she looked up at him and pleaded, “Gavin, please take me away. I’m terrified every time I see Grandma Rhett. She even said she wants to torture me to vent her resentment. I don’t feel safe here at all!”
• Hearing this, Simon’s face darkened with rage. He turned sharply toward Grandma Rhett, his glare sharp enough to cut through steel. If this foolish woman hadn’t run her mouth, Liza wouldn’t be so adamant about leaving.
