Chapter 459 Negotiation
“I have shown enough tolerance for your endless complaints at home, but why did you insist on spreading it out? Now, everyone is judging our family. Are you satisfied?”
Although Dylan knew that Lydia should be held responsible for this matter, Chandler shouldn’t have made the family affair public. Now, it was even on the news, and the impact was so terrible that even Dylan’s old friends, who hadn’t contacted him for many years, called to ask what was wrong with his family.
Dylan felt so embarrassed.
However, Chandler just slowly adjusted his cuffs. “I had to make those people aware of their mistakes. You wanted to settle it at home, keeping it a secret? I assume you just wanted to cover them up. That was how you dealt with my decision to kick Dalton out of our family. Tell me, Father, is our family reduced to tolerating a kidnapper? It’s lucky for you that Meryl isn’t seriously hurt this time. Otherwise, if anything bad happened to her or her baby, I might go crazy and kill them all.”
Chandler’s outrageous words shocked and irritated Dylan.
He said, “Kill them all? Chandler, studying in a police school turns you into a savage! I shouldn’t have given you so much control, so that I even have to obey your order! Remember, I can take back whatever I gave you.”
Chandler sneered after hearing Dylan’s response. “You finally give up your disguise. Require me to save the family in a crisis and kick me out when you think I damage the so-called family interest?”
Leaning back on the sofa, Chandler continued, “There’s one thing you need to figure out. You can’t take Galaxy Holdings Group from me as you like, as before. You can try, see if I’m right about that.”
The calmness on his face stunned Dylan, yet he couldn’t refute his son.
Chandler really grew up and became the very person who was capable of taking over Dylan’s business empire.
He stared at Chandler again and again, finding his face surprisingly similar to his mother’s.
For the sake of their similar appearances, Dylan’s rage was actually appeased a little.
They were not enemies. All in all, what Chandler did was to protect Meryl.
“Well, are you satisfied now? Tell your man to take down the news,” Dylan compromised.
“Here’s my advice. Do not lose your sanity for a woman. A man should focus on his career, not to mention Meryl’s relationship with Dalton… For your reputation, I suggest you divorce her.”
The scandal made Dylan realize the severity.
He couldn’t stand such a scandal within a noble family.
After all, Dylan wouldn’t allow Chandler to hurt Dalton. The best solution was to force Meryl to leave the Aniston family.
It hit two birds with one stone. Thus, he could save the family’s reputation and avoid trouble in the future.
Chandler suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Is blaming everything on a woman what the Aniston family does to solve a crisis?”
He sneered like a devil.
“I made a big fuss just to tell everyone that I’m obliged to protect my wife. In what capacity do you interfere in my marriage, Father? Anyway, you haven’t raised me for a day. I’d better stop calling you that,” he said.
Chandler firmly stated his stand with the most common tone.
Never did Dylan imagine that Chandler loved Meryl so much that Chandler couldn’t even stand his rather soft solution for her. What’s more, he could abandon his father for that woman.
Rumor had it that Meryl was pregnant.
But Chandler seemed to be immune to those rumors.
“Fine!”
Dylan said helplessly, “I am too old to care about your mess. But you have to remember not to hurt your brother even though you hate Dalton. After all, we’re family, and they lost their child, so don’t be so pushy!”
These words were from the bottom of his heart. No one in such a noble family was a loser, which meant that pushing too much would lead to an all-out conflict.
Chandler frowned. “As long as Dalton behaves himself. As his uncle, I would like to teach him some courtesy.”
After that conversation, Chandler returned to his room, closing the door with self-composure.
Meryl was reading the news on the bedside when someone
