Chapter 171


    Nichs’ expression morphed into one of condescension after hearing what Matt said.“I remember


    now! He’s the guy from Ethan Windsor’s video!” Nichs narrowed his eyes and sneered. “The


    Larsons are truly scared that Grandma won’t be leaving them anything in the will, huh? They got a


    useless piece of trash to pretend to be their wealthy son-inw! Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll handle this punk


    myself!”While the father-son duo was engaged in their quiet discussion, Kingsley and Megan had taken


    a seat beside the hospital bed.Helen was propped up against the hospital bed in a sitting position. She


    scrutinized Kingsley as she asked Michael, “This… is the wealthy son-inw you mentioned?”Michael


    nodded at once. “Yes, mother-inw. He’s the one who gave us the five invites from Coliree


    Group.”However, as soon as he said that, Nichs snorted and dered, “Hah! He’s already admitted


    in a video that he had nothing to do with the invites! Everyone knows that by now! Don’t bother trying to


    make him look good, Uncle Michael!”Michael’s expression hardened. “And what do you know?


    Kingsley is just trying to keep a low profile. He doesn’t need to prove himself to the likes of


    Ethan.”“Hahaha, low profile indeed.” Nichs scoffed as he pointed at the fruit basket in Kingsley’s


    hands. “Are you telling me that a guy who can get invites from Coliree Group woulde bearing a


    measly fruit basket when he visits someone in the hospital? How f*cking low profile!”“That’s…”Michael


    did not expect that a simple fruit basket could be the object of mockery.Once Megan saw the fruit


    basket, the smile on her face vanished instantly and was reced by extreme displeasure.She had the


    ultimate say in the Larson family, and she was a proud and lofty woman in front of others, but she had


    to keep her head down in front of her brother and nephew.This was all because of the disparity


    between the two families’ influence in the business world.The Larsons’ used car business was child’s


    y inparison with Prime Corporation!As long as Michael remained less capable than Matt, she


    would never be able to stand tall in front of her own family.She thought that Kingsley would be her


    ticket to finally being able to stand tall in front of them, but she never expected that the bubble would


    burst over a fruit basket.Helen sighed when she noticed Megan’s colorless expression. “Megan, why


    are you still the same after over twenty years? Back then, you insisted on marrying Michael for his


    good looks, and even went so far as to turn your back against your family, and it turned out exactly like


    what I said back then. He’s not a man who can achieve greatness. Why are you still being so foolish


    when ites to your daughter’s marriage?” Both Megan and Michael’s expressions stiffened after


    hearing Helen’s criticism.Matt added scornfully, “Michael, oh Michael. Even if you wanted to prove


    yourself to Mom, at least get someone who’s worth his salt! You actually got a bum from the underworld


    to pretend to be your wealthy son-inw! Hmph! Even I can’t let you continue this farce any


    longer!”“What? From the underworld?” Helen clutched her chest and cried, “You two want to marry


    Cecilia off to such a man? Are you trying to kill me?!”Megan hurriedly tried to soothe Helen. “Mom, it’s


    not what you think it is. My son-inw is actually…”Nichs cut her off before she could finish her


    sentence. “Aunt Megan, what are you guys thinking? You know very well that Grandma has a weak


    heart, so why did you bring such a guy over to piss her off?”He then turned to the other rtives in the


    room. “Tell me, how can a daughter treat her mother this way?”All of the Foxes swiftly jumped


    in.“You’re absolutely right. Why did they bring a bum here when they know that Old Mrs. Fox has a


    weak heart? Are they trying to make her mad on purpose?”“I think the Larsons have gone mad over


    their greed for the inheritance! What a lousy trick they’re ying!”“Sigh. I never thought that a daughter


    would be so cruel to her own mother. How despicable!”Megan was on the verge of exploding from all


    their insults.“I did no such thing! Stop making all these false usations!” She wept into her hands.


    “Michael, say something! I thought you were going to let me hold my head up high! You’re so


    useless!”Michael nced at Kingsley and apologized, “I never thought things would turn out this way.


    I… I think I’ll have to donate that one million to the hospital after all…”Michael was in turmoil on the


    inside. He knew very well that Kingsley was an immensely powerful man, but he could not defend him


    because of the video that Ethan had taken…Seeing the hopeless expression on Michael’s face,


    Kingsley sighed and said, “Forget it. Since this is happening because of me, I’ll help you.”“Hah! What a


    load of crap!” Nichs snorted derisively. “You talk big for someone who’s just a useless bum from the


    underworld!”He then crossed his legs and scoffed in condescension. “Forget everything else for now.


    Shouldn’t you at least switch that rotten fruit basket out for a proper gift?”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
