Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Getting roasted by grandpa "That brat, he doesn't even answer my calls anymore..." " The Hodges Family patriarch stormed in from outside, but he paused in shock when he saw the scene inside. The next moment, he erupted in fury. "You good-for-nothing, you're messing around in the company!" The old Mr. Hodges was furious, wishing he could beat him to death with his walking stick. How could he have such a grandson? He was capable, yes, but his lifestyle was nothing like his. If the Hodges Family didn't have a single heir for three generations, he would have disowned him.
