Chapter 720

Gregory came clean about his identity. With the shares he'd stacked up over the years, plus the ones Francis Coleman handed to Clinton, he definitely had enough weight to hold his ground at Beach Group. As long as the Rixon family deal went through, he and his son would have a solid foothold there. But... was he really the mysterious "Mr." pulling the strings behind the scenes? Madeleine stayed quiet until Gregory and Clinton left. Then she finally asked, "Do you believe a word he said?" Did Beckett trust his grandfather? Beckett slowly shook his head. "People are hard to read. I honestly don't know..." Truth and lies were all tangled up—it was hard to tell anymore. Was the old man heartless enough to abandon his own wife and kid, or was there more to the story? Madeleine lowered her gaze, her voice softer. "I saved him once, but we didn't have much contact. I can't say for sure..." With everything still murky, it was tough to draw any real conclusions. Gregory held a grudge for years.
