Chapter 375
Did she really not know? It did not matter how one joined the family. The moment there’s a baby on the way, all the old scandals and disgraces would be forgotten at the sight of a new great–grandchild.
What she had not counted on was that Evangeline was already expecting Walter’s baby
That complicated things, but she would handle Trey first.
“Walter is my grandson, and I’ll decide if he needs to be disciplined. Now, answer my question,” Trey
demanded.
Since the rise of Gordon Group, Trey was used to getting answers whenever he asked. Thus, this girl’s silence was a bold move, indeed.
Even so, even though his authority was being challenged, Trey could not muster up any anger when he looked at her face–a face that stirred a sense of compassion.
After all, she looked so much like Julia, Evangeline’s half-sister, sharing the same father but born to a different mother.
Walter’s back was a map of scars, and Trey finally understood. His grandson would rather face the wrath of a thousand storms than admit he was wrong, especially if it was for her sake.
He knew all about the drama that had gone down between Julia and Walter.
Lost in thought, Trey barely noticed Minnie as she nervously started to introduce herself. “I’m Minnie, the student your grandson Alex brought back from overseas…”
Her voice was barely a whisper when suddenly, it was cut off by a more assertive one.
“Don’t bother explaining. Grandpa, if you’re mad, take it out on me!” Walter spun around, locking eyes with Trey, ready to stand his ground.
Truth be told, without Evangeline’s judgment hanging over him, the whole scandal with Minnie did not seem to matter anymore. She was never the main event in that twisted tale
Grandpa Trry knew she did not make a difference.
However, when Walter faced her, Minnie could not help but latch onto his arm, her voice shaking as she cried out, “No way, you’re already hurt! What if they break you for good?”
Her words were soaked in worry, and her tears started to fall all over again.
“Mr. Gordon, please, I’m begging you–don’t hurt Walter…”
To Trey, their display was like watching a cheesy romance unfold right before his eyes
He remembered Minnie’s earlier words.
“So, Miss Minnie, you’re the student my grandson Alex is mentoring, huh?”
Minnie nodded frantically, eager to spill her whole life story if it meant keeping Trey’s attention. After all, the more he seemed to care, the more she knew she had made an impression.
In the days to come, she knew that with a bit more attention paid to the old man and his grandson, she

would have them wrapped around her finger in no time
“Well then, you’re practically family now. Come on, let’s head back to Gordons place together.
Trey could not shake the feeling that the woman who had popped up out of nowhere by Walter’s side was up to no good.
Walter had been blinded by her looks, but Trey was not fooled. He was determined to uncover her true agenda!
Besides, it looked bad to discipline his grandson in public. Private affairs should be washed at home, and there would be plenty of time to straighten Walter out once they got back to the Gordons residence.
The whole entourage made a grand entrance back at the Gordon family’s old house. Aria, catching sight of the terrible wounds and blood on her son, felt her heart twist in pain.
“Oh, Walter, what on earth happened to you?! How did you get hurt just by stepping out?
