Chapter 514 - Revenge 515: Wasted Everyones Time (1/2)

”Veronica, didn't you hear what my brother just said? He said no, and asking my father is a waste of your breath because the answer will be the same.”

”I think you two have taken too much of our time. It's time for you two to leave my territory.” Elijah said in a cold tone of voice. Elijah could have chosen not to be here, but curiosity took over him. As a result, he is bored to death by listening to every nonsense word coming out of their mouths. 'As an uninvited guest, they should have known their place better.' He inwardly said.

Not giving up, Franklin spoke to Elijah, ”Elder, you are the wisest among all of us, don't you think that it such a waste for your grandson to reject my proposal?”

He has not yet said the details of his offer, yet they are all already rejecting him and Veronica. In the past, he and Veronica are always welcome in the Robertson manor, and they can visit the estate any time they want to. However, now, it seems to him that they are not welcome anymore.

”For generations, the members of the Robertson family have always been working hard to make a name for themselves. We don't depend on other people's support like the one you are proposing. My grandson is not an exception to this.” It is nice to have some help from other people, but the offer that Franklin and Veronica are giving to Kyle is a different kind of help. Elijah thinks that Franklin believes that his grandson doesn't have what it takes to make a name of himself.

”But-”

”Veronica Lace, that is enough. Don't push your luck here, young lady. Grow up. Using such a trick to get what you want is not very mature, and I am disappointed at you.” Layla is not going to deny that she once thought that Veronica could become her possible daughter-in-law, but after seeing what kind of a person she has become, that thought has disappeared completely.

She has no idea what kind of life Veronica grew up in, but clearly, this is all of Franklin's doing. Since the moment she met Franklin, she can tell that he is greedy. Greedy for more power and wealth.

”Please don't test our patience, Franklin. Go back to where you two came from willingly, or else, I will have to use force to make it happen.” Anyone can tell that Stan is serious about what he said. He is not usually like this, but when he does, the people that he is talking to should listen.

Franklin clenched his hand and said to his daughter, ”Veronica, let's go. It's time for us to leave.”

He now feels humiliated that everyone, except for his daughter, is not on his side. It's the first that he has been rejected for offering a fair project that could benefit both parties.

In a short amount of time, he heard that Kyle manage to gain recognition from the people of the boards. Despite that accomplishment, Franklin actually thought that Kyle will still accept his offer.

”Daddy, I don't want to leave without getting anything out of this,” Veronica said. She has been waiting for this day to happen, and she won't leave until she can get Kyle to accept her father's proposal. Veronica has already disappointed Kyle's mother, but it does not matter to her. All she cares about is Kyle's approval.

”Veronica, can't you see that things are not going well for both of us? Let's go back now.”

”Daddy!”

Franklin stared at Veronica, and he can't help but feel frustrated that his daughter is not trying to understand the situation they are in right now.

”What's this? You've been spoiling that daughter of yours too much, Mr. Lace.” Lannie grinned at the frustrated look on Franklin's face. ”Because of that, you're having problems now.”

In Franklin's perspective, Lannie tells him that he is a failure as a father to Veronica because he can't even make her listen to him. He doesn't want to admit it, but he thinks that Lannie is right.

He keeps giving whatever Veronica wants, and look at what it has gotten him, frustration and headache. Aside from giving in to each of her whims, he also sent her to the best schools, and yet she doesn't show it when it is really needed.

”Enough of this, young lady. We are leaving whether you like it or not.” Taking Veronica's wrist, he dragged her all the way to their vehicle. It's humiliating enough that he can't get what he wants, but for his daughter to act like a brat in front of all the Robertsons is way more embarrassing.

”They're annoying! Why did you even let them inside our home, Dad?” Lannie grunted. Her day was starting out great, but when she heard from the butler that Veronica and her father came unannounced, her day was ruined thoroughly.

”I thought that it would be entertaining to see them try and win our favor, that's why I let them in. And I must say, I was slightly entertained.” It's what he had expected, but it did teach Franklin a lesson. He will face humiliation like what happened today if he approaches a Robertson with that kind of intent again.
