After seeing that the two had calmed down, Luke said earnestly:

"There is something wrong with your children's education, and this is your responsibility."

"Evelyn, have you taught Beth this? Old John, have you taught Lip this?"

Luke's words obviously hit a sore spot for Old John and Evelyn.

Luke continued:

“I know that you were born into a ranch family and have always inherited the tenacity of cowboys, but this is not how you were educated.”

"Look at Lee and Jamie. They have been living under your strong education since they were young. But look at their personalities now? Are they really like cowboys?"

"Among these brothers and sisters, I like Lip the most. He is brave and strong, not weak or timid. He is a good boy because he is the least affected by your education."

"Since you have decided to adopt him, then take good care of him."

"What he did was indeed wrong, but it was mainly because no one taught him how to deal with this kind of thing. I am just their older brother, and you are their parents."

Luke's words left the couple speechless.

Seeing the two of them lost in thought, Luke thought it was about time, so he called Lip who had been waiting outside the door.

The couple looked at Li Pu, who was a little reserved, with complicated expressions.

Luke's words obviously made them realize the problem, but Lip made a mistake after all.

"Lip, after all, you hurt Beth. As her brother, I ask you to swear to be loyal to her and protect her like a princess's knight for the rest of your life. Can you do it?"

Li Pu's expression became serious, and he stopped being timid. He said seriously:

"John, Evelyn, I'm sorry for what happened. But I truly love Beth. I swear, no matter what happens, I will be loyal to her and protect her like a knight...even if I have to sacrifice my life for it!"

Old John and Evelyn looked at Lip with a serious face, feeling complicated but unable to say any words of blame.

They also watched Lip grow up, and after calming down, they felt that Beth and Lip being together was at least not too bad.

It's better than the rebellious Beth looking for an unreliable little yellow-haired guy.

Evelyn stood up and hugged Lip and said:

"Kid, this is our negligence. You don't need to apologize to us. I just hope you can keep your word. I don't want to be a grandmother before you come of age."

Evelyn kissed Lip on the forehead after she finished speaking, then gave Old John a look and went upstairs.

"I have to go see if little Case is sleeping well. I'll leave the rest of the conversation to you men."

After Evelyn left, Luke said to Old John:

"Actually, I want to tell you that I have been thinking about this for a long time. The matter between Lip and Beth is just an introduction."

Old John picked up the glass and took a long gulp.

Lip was very discerning and quickly continued drinking with his father-in-law. Seeing old John's scrutinizing gaze, he could only smile awkwardly.

Luke continued:

"Lee is too stuffy, Jamie is too weak, John, you and Evelyn are too strong in educating the children. You only instill your will and never consider their own ideas."

"If this continues, who will inherit the Dutton Ranch in the future? Who will you be at ease with?"

Old John finally spoke, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"Do you have any idea?"

Seeing that Old John had taken his words to heart, Luke continued:

"Let Lee go to the army to hone his skills, let Jamie go to my father's office to train after graduation, and let Beth go to school with Angela in Los Angeles."

"As for Lip..."

John and Lip looked at Luke nervously.

"Let Lip stay at the ranch. If he can get into college with Beth, it means their bond is still there. But we shouldn't let them stay together during school."

Old John thought about it and nodded in agreement.

But Lip was a little depressed.

Old John and Luke are also experienced people, and of course they know how difficult it is to separate young people who are in love.

But Luke's suggestion was a good one. The two families had a close relationship, and there was nothing wrong with Beth accompanying Angela to study in Los Angeles.

It will be another four years before Jamie graduates, and most importantly, his oldest son, Lee, doesn’t want to continue studying after graduating from high school.

He has been managing the ranch with Old John, but his personality is still too dull. He is a straight man with low emotional intelligence.

But Luke saw his concerns and continued:

"Li is good in every way except his personality. It's a good idea to let him get some exercise. My grandfather has connections in the army and he won't be in any danger."

In the end, Luke convinced Old John, and the rest depended on Lee's own ideas.

Originally, Old John wanted to make the decision directly, but Luke asked him to change the way he educated his children and let Old John talk to Lee himself and ask for his opinion.

After leaving the villa, Luke hugged Lip and said:

"Try your best, Lip. Tell me if you have any difficulties."

Because of Luke's actions tonight, Lip successfully escaped being beaten half to death by Old John.

At this moment, Luke was extremely tall in Lip's heart.

Big brother, you are my dear big brother, I have no way to repay you...

In fact, what Luke and old John and his wife said tonight was also true.

When he was a child, he changed Evelyn's ending of falling off a horse and dying. Now he has changed Beth's ending of being unable to have children. The next step is to prevent subsequent tragedies from happening again.

There's nothing wrong with old John, the tough cowboy; it's only the Dutton kids who have problems.

With Lip as her knight, Beth's personality will not change drastically due to fertility issues.

Although Jamie is an adopted son, it won't be a big problem as long as he doesn't have to choose between the ranch and his future.

The youngest child, Keith, will probably not be so rebellious in the future due to the changes made by old John and Evelyn.

Now the only problem is the eldest brother. He is too honest and boring. He must be tempered in society or the army.

But Luke thinks that the army is better, after all, it is not as complicated as society.

After he retires, he will be able to adapt better to society.

So Luke recommended that Lee join the army for training in order to change his character.

That night, Old John didn't have time to cause trouble for Lip, so he went to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li.

Li did not reply to Old John on the spot, but came to see Luke the next day.

Luke knew that Lee was traumatized by the long-term tough cowboy-style education of Old John and Evelyn.

So it took a long time to counsel Lee, and he decided to leave the ranch, leave Montana and venture out into the world.

That night, Luke took Lee to find Old John and Evelyn again.

With Luke's encouragement, Li finally bravely expressed his ideas.

Although Old John and Evelyn were a little heartbroken, they were indeed aware of their own educational problems.

Maybe the couple talked a lot when they couldn't sleep at night, and finally decided to respect their children's own opinions.

And Luke was ready to leave the ranch and return to Los Angeles.

He asked Li and Old John to wait for news. He would go back to find Old Man Qin and use his connections in the military to arrange a future for Li.

Luke returned to Los Angeles on his own private plane, accompanied by the gratitude of John's entire family.
