Chapter 54 Making a Scene
Chapter 54 Making a Scene
The old woman looked sideways at Marcus. Obviously, she feigned ignorance and didn''t admit what
she had done.
Marcus nced at the old woman with cold eyes and carried an aggressive air. The old woman,
who was of peasant origin and shallow, shuddered at Marcus'' icy gaze. She quickly looked away
and didn''t dare to meet Marcus'' gaze.
Marcus spoke slowly and coldly. He remained calm even when the old woman was making a scene.
His inherent aloofness oppressed the old woman.
Marcus drummed his slender fingers on a table. The people with a guilty conscience trembled at the
incessant sound of tapping the table.
"It was your son who begged my grandpa to give him the project."
Marcus said indifferently and caught everyone''s attention.
Silence reigned at that moment. No one dared to interrupt Marcus when he was talking. As the
sessor of the Brook Group, Marcus could keep everything under control.
"Before your son was in charge of the project, all the safety facilities involved were up-to-date. I still
have purchase records. But after that, these facilities were changed into those old and substandard
within a few months. As for where those original facilities have gone..."
Marcus nced indifferently at the middle-aged man who was his uncle, "I found the transaction
records between you and Han Johnson. I also got your ount information. Do you want to take
a look?"
The middle-aged man used to think he could escape Marcus'' investigation. But now he turned pale
and shivered with fear. He lowered his head to avoid Marcus'' gaze and looked at his mother for
help.
It pained the old woman to see his son begging for help. In her heart, no one was as excellent as
her son.
The old woman didn''t allow anyone to scold her son. Even faced with the powerful Marcus, her
preference for her son stimted her to contradict Marcus.
"What are you doing!"
The old woman was among the kind of person who liked frivolous quibbling. She started wailing
directly.
"Your family bullied us. I am just a poor widow and have a poor son. Marcus, how dare you talk to
your uncle in such an impolite way? We are your elders and we are also your family. Several million
dors is just a small amount for you. Since you are wealthy, you should help your poor rtives,
okay? You even quibble over such a small amount of money and ask us to pay it back. Shame on
you! I feel suicidal and I should kill myself after my husband past away. It''s better to die than to be
bullied by you."
The old woman saw Nancy and kept howling, "Your uncle is my only son. You spend so much
money on Nancy. As a girl, she is inferior to male children. So why don''t you give your uncle
economic support?"
Suddenly there was a loud bang.
The old woman screamed.
Marcus stood up immediately as the old woman cursed Nancy. He kicked over a stool in front of the
old woman with a sullen face and red at her.
At that moment, the old woman who was making a scene felt panicked. She looked at the angry
Marcus in horror and her legs were so weak that she fell over.
"You you..."

The old woman stuttered. But she didn''t dare to speak again when she met Marcus'' icy and angry
gaze.
"Do you dare to curse Nancy once again?"
Windy rushed over with a rolling pin angrily, "Nancy is the apple of my eye! You are also female.
Why do you still devalue females and have a foul mouth at your age? Are you happy if I curse you
in the same way as you curse Nancy?"
The old woman rolled her eyes with anger and was irritated by Windy.
"You...you..."
"I suggest you think about it before you speak. If you dare to hit my mother, I will cut a finger from
your son." Marcus said coldly. His words dealt a head-on blow to the old woman who was at the
point of losing her mind.
Marcus slowly rolled up his sleeves. Marcus red at the old woman as if he was an angry tiger
whose territory had been invaded. But he remained elegant and had amanding presence.
The old woman''s son and daughter-inw were stunned, especially her son. Her son''s face went
pale with fear, as if he could imagine the scene where his fingers were chopped off. He shivered
and clenched his fists to protect his fingers.
The old woman''s son and daughter-inw saw her fall to the ground in fright, but neither of them
dared to help her up. They hid behind and felt scared.
Marcus sneered at them.
Windy cast Marcus an admiring nce and then red at the old woman and her family. They had
an insatiable appetite for money.
"I have wanted to say it for a long time. This is my home. If you want to make a scene, go back to
your house!"
The old woman cursed Nancy just now and Windy took it to heart. Nancy was Windy''s beloved
daughter. But the old woman and her family came here uninvited and even dared to curse Nancy.
Windy couldn''t bear it anymore.
Thinking of what she suffered before, Windy was full ofints. Now she decided to give a full
vent to her resentment.
The old woman was cursed by Windy in front of so many people. She was mad but also scared,
almost to the point of fainting.
The old woman turned to look at the Elderly Mr. Brook. She hoped he could scold her daughter-in-
law and grandson.
But the Elderly Mr. Brook only took a sip of tea unhurriedly and asked Nancy toe over in a
gentle voice. He seemed to ignore the mounting tension in this living room. To be precise, the old
woman and her family were at a disadvantage.
Nancy came up to the Elderly Mr. Brook happily. And the Elderly Mr. Brook gently held Nancy into
his arms and covered her ears with his hands.
Marcus was irritated just because the old woman cursed Nancy. He didn''t get mad even when the
old woman and her family made excessive demands before.
The old woman was so angry that she could hardly breathe. Then she suddenly fainted.
"Mom!"
"Grandma!"
Liz started crying.
Liz was still a little girl. She was frightened into falling over.
Marcus said to the middle-aged man indifferently, "Send her to the hospital."
Marcus didn''t feel sorry that he had made the old woman faint from anger. For insatiable people,
Marcus wouldn''t tolerate them.
