Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Responsibility of an Heir Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Responsibility of an Heir “Oh, right, how is the investigation going on Cherish Turner that I asked for? I admit it now, even if she is not from a prestigious family, as long as her family is clean, I will not mind anymore!”

“Nonsense, you know the status of the Griffith family well, and what William carries on his shoulders is not just his own responsibility but that of the entire family. I will not yield on this point.” Robert Griffith still attached great importance to family background. The Griffith family was inherently a large clan in Hail City, and their feudal thinking was deeply rooted.

“But May and Yue Qin have a point too. If the girl is not from a prestigious family, can William simply give her up? It’s not like we do not know the kind of woman William is attracted to. Can you really turn your back on him in the end? We know how stubborn William is.”

“Even so, it will not do. The entire Griffith clan will be his responsibility in the future. This is his duty as the heir, whether he likes it or not, he must accept it. Even if he genuinely likes that girl, if she does not come from a prestigious family, I will not meddle if he keeps her outside, but he cannot bring her back. That will not work.” The old man was incredibly stubborn and not up for discussion.

“What about Grace Harper? Wasn’t her family also quite ordinary? Don’t think you can fool me. I know you’ve checked her background too, and she is just an orphan.” Amelia Nanne blamed her husband.

“Yannis is not the one who will be at the helm of the Griffith family, and the heavy burden is not on his shoulders. Naturally, I am not so strict with him. Besides, can’t you see that Yannis has something on his mind?”

Amelia Nanne fell silent because she too felt that, even though Yannis had come back with Grace this time, it seemed that his feelings for Grace were rather lukewarm. He probably wouldn’t have brought her back to the Griffith family if it wasn’t for the child.

“I have a feeling that Cherish Turner is going to cause some chaos in the Griffith family!”

“Yannis wouldn’t be so indiscreet, would he? She is his brother’s woman!” Amelia Nanne’s heart skipped a beat. The two brothers had always been close. Yannis Griffith was passionate and unrestrained with women but fickle with his feelings. In contrast, William always kept things hidden in his heart, difficult to read. They all had no idea who Lewis’s mother was back then, and even inquiring about her yielded no results. Robert Griffith had investigated it but could not find anything. It seemed that William had blocked the information secretly. As for Cherish Turner, she was the first woman after Lewis’s mother that William seemed to take seriously.

“Old man, my eyelids keep twitching. I’m really afraid that something will happen to our family…” For the past few days, Amelia Nanne had been restless and always felt that the Griffith family was on the verge of some changes.

“Don’t overthink it. I’ll keep an eye on things regarding William.” William, being his grandson, respected his grandfather to some extent. Even if he did not fully obey his grandfather’s words, he would carefully consider them.

However, since the last news broke, Yannis hadn’t come back to live here. He seemed to have just disappeared. Grace looked wronged at home, and as elders, they could only try to console her.

Cherish Turner and Yara King were both flying to Tokyo today. William insisted on sending Cherish to the airport. Indeed, Cherish couldn’t bear to part with William, so she arrived at the airport early and timed it differently from Yara King to avoid being gossiped about.

Although it was William who insisted on sending Cherish off, it was Lewis who ended up being the person who was most reluctant to part with her.

“Auntie, when will you be back?” William’s fingers on the steering wheel couldn’t help but tighten as if he, too, was concerned about the answer in his heart.

“Hmm, Auntie is just going there to learn. She’ll be back very soon. In the springtime, Auntie will be back.”

William’s grip on the steering wheel loosened, and his heart settled. It seems that in a few days, he would have to prepare to move all his work to Tokyo…
