Even in Darkness, She Chose to Rise

Chapter 238 Just Like Him

Finished

Harpie indeed had a sleepless night, throwing a massive tantrum. This was a direct slap in the

face!

“You have to bury it! No matter the cost! Stop them from promoting it!” He was furious, even resorting to using Jackson family connections. Barry, doting on him, stepped in to help, but overestimated his own influence. Most industry insiders remained indifferent.

Upon further inquiry, someone tactfully reminded him, “Mr. Jackson doesn’t approve.”

Barry stormed back home.

“Jasper, you can ignore your brother’s affairs, but you can’t go too far!”

Jasper, enjoying a rare meal with Hubert, didn’t even spare him a glance, placing a piece of fish in Hubert’s bowl.

The little boy wrinkled his nose at the fish. “Daddy, I don’t want fish.”

“Ann called you stupid.”

“I’m not stupid!”

“Eating fish makes you smart.”

“Really…” After some internal struggle, Hubert overcame his aversion and swallowed the fish almost whole. Luckily, it was boneless.

The father and son ate peacefully, completely ignoring the fuming Barry.

“Jasper!”

“You’re too loud.”

“I am your father!”

Jasper finally put down his fork and slowly looked up. His icy gaze made Barry’s bravado instantly wither.

“I know you don’t like Harpie. I haven’t let him near you. He won’t touch the company business. He just wants to sing. Can’t you even allow him that?”

Jasper scoffed. “Are you ordering me?”

Barry’s anger flared again. This attitude! This condescending arrogance! As if they weren’t father and

son, but master and servant! In this house, he never had the dignity of a father!

“Jasper, I don’t care what you think today. I will see Harpie’s matter through. It’s his only passion. As his older brother, you must support him!”

His face turned cold. “Is he even worthy of comparison to me?”

Hubert also put down his spoon, tilting his head. “Grandpa, you’re weird,” he said in his childish voice. “Isn’t Daddy your son? Why do you only help the other one? So unfair!”

Being called out by a child made Barry’s face flush. “What does a child know!” he snapped. “That’s your uncle! Show some respect!”

Hubert huffed. “I don’t have an uncle!”

“You…”

“Say one more word against him! Hubert is your grandson! How dare you yell at him for that piece of trash outside?” Gordon’s voice cut in.

Barry immediately backtracked, forcing a smile. “Dad, I didn’t mean it like that, but Harpie…”

“Don’t mention that unlucky thing.”

Barry didn’t dare push back against his own father and shut his mouth meekly.

“Great–Grandpa! You’re here!” The little boy jumped down and ran into Gordon’s arms, his eyes shining, melting the old man’s heart.

“Ah, my dear great–grandson. Have you been eating well lately? Let me see if you’ve put on weight.”

“Yes! I ate lots!”

Jasper ruthlessly exposed him. “Picky eater.”

The little boy’s puffed–out chest deflated. “No, I’m not. I ate…” he mumbled guiltily.

Gordon glared at Jasper. “Why are you blaming him? So what if he’s picky? It’s not like we can’t afford it. You have the nerve to blame Hubert? How many chefs have quit because of your

mouth?”

Four generations together should have been a warm scene, but Barry felt like an outsider, completely voiceless in the Jackson family, growing increasingly bitter.
