Chapter 200 Old Mrs. Riley Lectured Logan
Old Mrs. Riley sat gracefully, holding a teacup with poise, and her expression was calm andposed as she spoke.
"The favor that the Morris family gave to the Riley family in the past was thanks to old Mr. Morris. He was an upright and generous man. Despite not
being wealthy himself, he had a piece of bread and willingly gave us half. We have not forgotten this favor, and when the Riley family prospered, we
promised to extend a hand to the Morris family. Tristan, think carefully about how much help the Morris family has received from the Riley family over
the years. How many projects were entrusted to you? Even though you aren''t qualified, the Riley family has been there to support and clean up after
you. But remember, the Riley family''s debt is to your father, not to you."
Pausing for a moment. old Mrs. Riley continued, "Furthermore, our family''s patriarch has strict expectations for his descendants. He once wrote down
family principles, stating that one should not forget their roots, show gratitude when it''s due, but also act within their means and not prioritize repaying
favors above all else. If the other party seeks to exploit the debt, vites morality, human conscience, or thew, then they do not deserve
repayment."
"Tristan, the Riley family can bear thebel of being ungrateful, but we cannot be used of aiding and abetting wrongdoing or being unable to
distinguish right from wrong. I believe that if old Mr. Morris is aware of having such a despicable grandson, he would get furious and jump out from his
grave.”
Tristan''s face turned dark as he seethed with anger. His chest was heaving.
"Hmph, it seems that old Mrs. Riley is being impartial here. My son was beaten by your son, and not only did I not demand you to hand over your son,
but I also willingly came here to offer gifts. I only asked for two people who are not rted to your family, and you refused it! If this gets out, won''t it be
seen as the Riley family going too far?”
Curtis replied with a light snort. "If my mom had offered me to you, would you have epted?”
Tristan was taken aback and found himself at a loss for words.
"If you can''t handle it yourself, don''t make yourself out to be so great," Curtis added with a smile. ncing at Logan. Then, he continued, "Logan
come over. Pack these chestnut pies for Mr. Morris. We can’t afford these luxuries."
Logan furrowed his brow and whispered, "Uncle Curtis, let... let''s keep the peace. Don''t make Mr. Morris get too embarrassed.”
Upon hearing "keeping the peace,” Tristan chuckled and issued a threat.
"Mr. Riley is speaking so confidently. Perhaps he''s forgotten that my second brother is the head of the customs department! Do you still wish the
goods of the Riley family would be passing through Prodiff''s port?"
Curtis raised his eyebrow and acted like his mother. He took a sip of tea and calmly said, "Allow me to remind you that port belongs to the nation, not
to any private entity. If he is willing to go through the proper channels and offer a favor to the Riley family, I''ll respect his position as the head of the
customs department. But if he is unwilling to do so, then he is nothing to us. Those helped up by the Riley family, we can also bring them down."
Curtis''s vaice sounded calm, but it .

Regardless of who in Prodiff heard it, they would acknowledge that Mr. Riley truly had the power to back his words.
Adeline''s heart fluttered like a startled deer, finding her husband''s demeanor incredibly handsome.
Arrogant yetmanding!
Tristan snorted and was about to leave.
Quick on his feet, Steffen handed him those chestnut pies
Tristan''s expression darkened with anger while Curtis''s calm voice could be heard from the back.
"Steffen, buy a hundred thousand

"Yes!" Steffen replied energetically.
Tristan angrily tossed the chestnut pies to the ground and left in big strides.
As soon as Tristan left, old Mrs. Riley requested a wooden ruler from the Prodiff Theater''s owner and told Logan.
"Come over.”
Logan walked over. Then, old Mrs. -
Riley stood up and moved behind
him. With a snap, she used thec>
wooden ruler to lightly striked his
back. .
"Stand up straight! Those from the Riley family should have strong character and hold on tight to their dignity!”
