Trapped in Love

Chapter 672

Chapter 672 Utterly Useless

Caroline asked, “What do you want?”

“It’s quite simple. I’ll grant you freedom if you manage to persuade Neil to return,” Grayson replied, pausing to catch his breath.

Caroline found the idea ridiculous. “I can’t alter a choice Neil has made. Do you truly believe he’d change his mind just because I asked?”

Grayson’s expression grew serious. If you can’t bring him back, no one else can! Are you going to stand idly by as I send your brother to prison? Caroline, you bear the responsibility for influencing Neil’s actions!

“Ella would be looking after me if it weren’t for you! And why do I face humiliation? It’s all because of you! None of this would have occurred without your involvement!

“You’ve brought unhappiness to your parents, and now you’re causing misery to Neil and me! To what

extent are you willing to dismantle the Xander family?”

Caroline could no longer maintain her composure. “Isn’t all of this your own doing? Would my parents be suffering if you hadn’t exiled my father from the family due to your disdain for him? Would my brother be distancing himself from the family if he wasn’t disillusioned by your acceptance of a bitch as your granddaughter?

“You’re too proud to admit your own mistakes, so you place the blame on me! You don’t deserve anyone’s

respect. You’re getting what you deserve now!”

Caroline’s words took aback Grayson.

As he gazed at Caroline’s angry face, he briefly saw Eleanor’s face. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He recalled how Eleanor had addressed him when she sought to sever ties with him.

She had told him that he didn’t deserve respect…

Grayson’s lips trembled, and he extended his quivering hand toward Caroline.

“Ellie…” Grayson mumbled, his eyes reddened with tears.

Caroline swiftly retreated.

“I’m not my mother! You don’t need to put on an act to gain my sympathy!” Caroline retorted coldly.

Grayson snapped back to reality, his gaze once again dimmed.

Grayson scoffed. “Heh, just like Ellie…”

Grayson staggered away, and a sorrowful expression took over his face. “She said that to me before she- left… But what good was Hugh? He was utterly useless aside from pleasing Ellie.”

Grayson sat down unsteadily. “Ellie was a clever girl, far better at managing a business than her brother!

She was meant to marry a suitable man and elevate the Xander family to unprecedented heights in

Angelbay. Yet, she lowered herself to be with a ne’er–do–well like Hugh! How could I find solace in giving

my exceptional daughter to him?”

Caroline’s anger transformed into pity as she witnessed Grayson’s mixture of anger and sorrow

Grayson loved his daughter but loved her in the wrong way. He wanted to dictate her life with his

inflexible mindset, ultimately leading to tragedy.

It was detestable, pitiful, and disgusting.

Despite all this, Caroline felt no sympathy for him.
