Seeing Damien Sinclair was determined to take them away. After breakfast, Raina Lowell returned to her room, took out her phone, and made a call to report to the police. Claiming that Damien Sinclair was imprisoning her and the child, planning to smuggle them out of the country. As long as the police came, Damien Sinclair wouldn’t be able to take her and Evelyn away. After all, this was a society ruled by law, no matter how capable he was, could he really go against the police? But just as she was about to dial, a news alert suddenly popped up on her phone screen. #The Grant Family, Southgate’s wealthiest family, Old Master Grant passed away in the early hours of last night.# Old Master Grant passed away in the early hours of last night. Seeing such words, it was like a bolt from the blue to Raina Lowell, as if thunder struck her. Her body went limp, she hopelessly sank onto the bed, trembling fingers tapping to open that news. Upon confirming it was indeed Grandpa who passed, she found it hard to accept, tears overflowing. She had only been away for two days, how did Grandpa just... He passed away last night, why didn’t anyone from the Grant Family inform her? Raina Lowell suddenly stood up, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and dashed towards the door. As she came down the stairs, she happened to encounter Damien Sinclair and Evelyn, she rushed over and grabbed Evelyn, crying: "Evelyn, come with mom, mom will take you to see Great-grandpa." Evelyn was bewildered, seeing his mom cry made his heart ache. As mom pulled him to leave, he obediently followed her. But was stopped by Damien Sinclair’s raised hand. "Raina, where are you going? Did I agree?" Raina Lowell looked at him, unable to control her tears, her face fully wet. "Damien Sinclair, my grandpa has passed away, I must take Evelyn back now." It definitely wasn’t because of her that Grandpa left heartbroken. It’s just that when she wasn’t by his side, how could Grandpa leave? Raina Lowell couldn’t afford any more delays, she picked up her son and insisted on leaving. Damien Sinclair still blocked her. He didn’t know the Grandpa Raina mentioned was Old Master Grant. He thought it was that Old Master Lowell who once stopped Raina from being with him. Thinking about that old man being dead, wasn’t it for the better. Now no one could be an obstacle for Raina and him being together. Raina Lowell was nearly breaking down, losing control she shouted: "Do you think I’m joking with you? Damien Sinclair, if you stop me again, I won’t forgive you, even if I stay, all you’ll get is my cold, lifeless body." She was really running out of strength. It seemed as if she could faint from heartbreak at any moment. Damien Sinclair saw it, Raina wasn’t pretending. He took the child from her arms, showing no pity, smiling coldly: "Fine, you can go, but the child must stay with me." As long as he had Raina’s child, would he ever worry Raina wouldn’t obediently return to him? Raina Lowell, in anger, tried to snatch her son back: Evelyn, with heartache, spoke up: "Mom, if Great-grandpa is important, you go see him first, I’ll be fine with dad, you don’t need to worry." As long as mom could leave, he would have plenty of chances to escape later. He gestured to his mom with his eyes, signaling her not to worry about him, he would take care of himself. Raina Lowell was reluctant to leave her son, still trying to take him back. Damien Sinclair evaded while hugging him, coldly snorting: "You can leave, I’ll let you go, but Evelyn Sinclair must stay with me, otherwise who knows if you’ll ever come back." This child indeed had healing abilities. Sleeping with him for a few days surprisingly cured his insomnia. A child as extraordinarily smart as this was bound to achieve great things if kept. Evelyn, seeing his mom unable to hold back her tears, felt heartbroken and comforted her: "Mom, go see Great-grandpa quickly, Dad treats me well, I’ll be fine." Raina Lowell didn’t deny, these days her son had been here, living well indeed. He even learned quite a few skills, becoming much more cheerful and lively. At least, it was better than being left aside by Adrian Grant. Thinking she couldn’t delay any longer, or Damien Sinclair might change his mind. She looked at her son, nodding in agreement: "Evelyn, wait for mom, mom will come back for you." She couldn’t delay any longer, Raina Lowell turned and dashed out the door. Evelyn’s concerned voice trailed behind her: "Mom, stay safe, don’t worry about me, I’ll take care of myself." Raina Lowell had no strength left to respond, she got into the car and quickly rushed back to Southgate. She arrived at the Grant Family’s old residence in Southgate by dusk. Looking at the Grant Family’s gated entrance, draped in white silk and with mourning decorations hanging high, Raina Lowell was overwhelmed with grief, urgently pressing the doorbell. Soon enough, a servant came over with an apologetic look and said: "Young Madam, I’m sorry, the Master and Madam ordered that you are not allowed to step into the Grant Family." Raina Lowell couldn’t help but cry out loud, clinging to the iron gate, asking: "Then tell me, has Grandpa really left?" The servant also teared up, nodded and replied, "Yes, he passed away last night." "How could this happen?" Raina Lowell collapsed to the ground, tears streaming endlessly. Yet she still tried hard to maintain the last bit of consciousness, pleading with the servant: "Please go inside and tell them, let me see Grandpa one last time, okay?" He was the only Grandpa in the world besides her own who treated her best. No matter what, she had to see Grandpa one last time. The servant was rather agreeable, nodded to her, and turned back inside. In front of Old Master Grant’s mourning hall, the servant reported to Roland Grant and Mrs. Grant: "Sir, Madam, the Young Madam has returned, she’s at the door, and she wants to come in to see Old Master one last time." Upon hearing that Raina Lowell was here, Mrs. Grant’s old face twisted with anger, yelling furiously: "Tell her to get lost, she doesn’t deserve to step foot into The Grant Family." The other aunts chimed in: "She has the nerve to show up, why doesn’t she take her two bastards and go die." "That filthy, despicable thing, don’t let her tarnish The Grant Family’s doors." "Make her get as far away as possible." The servant saw that everyone was furious, eager to tear Raina Lowell apart, and quickly bowed his head and backed away. Adrian Grant, kneeling in front of the Old Master’s icy coffin, also heard. He stiffly tore up and burned paper money, thinking, how could Raina Lowell have the audacity to come back. Wasn’t it her who angered Grandpa to death? Now that Grandpa is dead, she has nothing to worry about, isn’t it perfect for her to stay with her children and their father for the rest of her life. This time, he will not forgive her. At The Grant Family’s gate. The servant approached Raina Lowell with an apologetic expression: "I’m sorry, Young Madam, Sir and Madam won’t let you in, and they told you to leave at once, or they won’t be polite." Raina Lowell didn’t believe it, kneeling there, clutching the iron gate, crying out in sorrow: "Dad, Mom, Adrian, I beg you to let me in to see Grandpa for the last time." "I’m pleading with you." No matter how much she cried and shouted, the servant had no choice, turned around, and left. Raina Lowell refused to give up, kept crying and shouting, continuously kowtowing to the gate. As she kowtowed, her hoarse voice blamed herself: "I’m sorry, I was wrong." "I shouldn’t have hidden the fact of having Aurora and Evelyn from you." "I shouldn’t have confessed to Grandpa while he was seriously ill." "I beg you to let me see Grandpa one last time; as long as I can send Grandpa off, you can deal with me however you like." "I’m begging you, let me in!" The night shrouded, dark clouds rolling. Soon enough, a torrential downpour arrived. Raina Lowell, drenched in rain, continued to kneel there, crying and kowtowing incessantly. Even though her head was bruised, blood mixed with rain water covered her cheeks, still no one from the villa came out. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveIFire.net Until she could no longer support herself, fainting in the water pool in utter despair. When she woke up again, she was already lying on the large bed at Lowell Manor. Several layers of white gauze wrapped around her head. Her thin little face appeared so pale. Tears continued to roll down from the corner of her eyes. Crying out, "Grandpa, don’t go." When she opened her eyes, the one she saw was Elias Sheridan. Elias Sheridan sat beside her, speaking with irritation: "Do you think a few kowtows at The Grant Family’s gate will earn their forgiveness? Raina Lowell, you are truly disappointing." Grandpa Grant considered her the granddaughter of his old comrade, took her into The Grant Family, raising her well with good food and drink, even sending her abroad to study. But she was indiscreet enough to have children with someone else overseas, then returned and hid it from everyone to marry Adrian Grant. Did she consider Adrian Grant a mere backup plan? Elias Sheridan felt sorry for Adrian Grant, even more for Grandpa Grant. Raina Lowell knew no explanation would suffice now. She only wanted to see Grandpa. Dragging her weak and heavy body, when she got out of bed, she collapsed on the floor due to utter exhaustion. Elias Sheridan looked on without the slightest sympathy, neither did he lend a hand to help her. "Raina Lowell, Adrian asked me to tell you, don’t go back to The Grant Family again, your presence will only make them hate you more." Raina Lowell felt her legs too weak to stand. She looked up at Elias Sheridan, tears falling like rain. "I know I was wrong, please tell them, let me send Grandpa off for the last time, okay?" "Elias Sheridan, I’m begging you." Grandpa treated her so well, if she couldn’t even send him off for his last journey. What would she become? She wouldn’t forgive herself, nor was she able to. For the rest of her life, she was afraid she would never be at peace. Elias Sheridan stood up, towering over her. "Since you had children with someone else, why did you hide it from everyone and marry Adrian? Do you realize how harmful your deceit is?" If it were him, he would never forgive such a woman. If she had confessed from the beginning, and Adrian was willing to marry her, that would be Adrian’s choice. But she hid it from everyone from the start, this was absolutely shameless to the extreme. Such a woman is unforgivable. Raina Lowell, stunned, looked at Elias Sheridan questioning her without any guilt, she felt somewhat dazed. Could he not be the one from that night four years ago? Otherwise, how could he say such things. Raina Lowell realized her previous suspicions might have been wrong, she let down her guard against this man, clutching his pant leg, pleading: "I know I was wrong, Dr. Shepherd, please help me plead with Adrian, I only want to see Grandpa one last time." Elias Sheridan avoided her touch, throwing down his words: "Adrian won’t see you, and I won’t plead for you either. If you insist on going to The Grant Family again and get beaten to death by his aunts, let’s see who will take care of your children."
