“Yank, take a seat.”
Seeing that Yank was still standing where he was, the old Chapman, George cleared his throat and pointed at the sofa opposite him. “Ralph said that he has something important to announce today…”
After that, he nced at his watch and said, “Are Kayden and Alice still absent now?”
“Alice went abroad.”
As soon as George’s voice came out, Yank answered, “She went aboard for an exhibition by her private nest night in the middle of the night.”
There was a sh of doting in the man’s eyes. “She has always been like this, acting rashly.”
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and raised his head to look at Lottie. “Have you met Alice before?”
Lottie nodded. “Yes.”
“She is a little nervous. If she offends you, don’t take it to heart.”
It’s obvious that Yank’ voice contained a trace of doting.
Lottie narrowed her eyes slightly. “What did you mean about ‘not to take it to heart’?”
“Do you refer to the time that she emphasized her close childhood rtionship with my husband in front of me, or that she cursed me that I’m screwed after drinking during my dinner?”
The woman’s words instantly cooled down the atmosphere in the living room.
Ank looked up at George with aplicated look in his eyes.
Yank frowned slightly.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
After a while, he smiled and said, “If Alice has done all these things, I will apologize to you on her behalf.”
“I didn’t educate her well.”
Ralph calmly put his arm around Lottie’s shoulder and said in a cold voice, “Ank, you’d better teach Alice a good lesson.”
“I will.”
Yank looked at Lottie seriously. “Is there anything else that Alice made you ufortable?”
Lottie shook her head.
She had met and talked to Alice countless times. Although she didn’t like her, she did nothing other than this.
“That’s good.”
Yank narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that she really didn’t remember what had happened five years ago.
After chatting for a while, Kayden came back.
He obviously didn’t sleep all night, and his face was full of haggardness.
Ank looked at him with a cold face. “You didn’t go homest night. How did you end up like this?”
“What did you do?”
“I made a decision.”
Kayden took a deep breath, stood in front of his family, and announced calmly, “I n to get married in a few days.”
His words shocked everyone in the living room like thunder.
Everyone was pleasant about the news.
Lancy had juste downstairs when she heard the news and rushed over excitedly. She held Kayden in her arms and said, “My dear son, I’m so d that you’ve finally decided to get married!”
“Which family is she from? What does she look like? Is she beautiful?”
“Why didn’t you bring her here today?”
After that, she even nced proudly at Lottie. “Don’t find a woman who worked in the entertainment circle!”
Her words made Kayden’s face change slightly.
He pulled Lancy away and took a deep breath. “What I want to say is that I want to marry Natalia.”
Lancy’s face instantly darkened!
Even if she had never paid attention to the entertainment circle, she knew Natalia!
She hyped, and yed many exposed ys! She was always the subject of those gossips!
She bit her lip and red at Kayden. “Are you insane?”
She is Kayden’s mother. She had just mocked Lottie for being a part of the entertainment circle. And she suggested Lottie might as well go home and take care of her child!
But now he pped his mother’s face!
“I’m not insane.”
Kayden looked at Lancy seriously and said to everyone present, “Uncle, thank you for helping me call everyone together today.”
“I want to tell everyone that I want to marry Natalia.”
He was, standing in front of everyone, solemn and decisive. His voice was cold and forceful. “Natalia had an ident yesterday and is still lying in the hospital unconsciously.”
“The doctor said that she might wake up today, or she might never wake up again.”
“Something happened to her because of me, the man she loves the most, is me.”
“So I want to marry her. Whether she wakes up or not, I want her to be my wife for the rest of my life.”
“I disagree!”
Lancy said hotly. “You want to marry an actress whom we don’t know whether she’ll wake up or never will?”
“Kayden, are you trying to piss me off?”
Ank, who was standing by the side, was also unhappy. “Kayden, even if this girl met with an ident because of you, you can’t marry her.”
“Your dad andI hope you can get married, but I mean with a normal person!”
Kayden turned to look at George and asked, “What do you say, Grandpa?”
George coughed lightly. “I… I don’t agree either.”
After that, he nced at Ralph subconsciously. “You already knew?”
Ralph nodded. “I support him.”
“Of course you do!”
Lancy was furious. “Your brother Ank is unwilling to inherit the family property since he came back from the army.”
“In addition to us, only you can inherit the Chapman family’s property!”
“Of course you want Kayden to marry such a woman. She’d better never wake up!”
“At that time, no one willpete with you and your sons for the property. And the whole Chapman family will be yours!”
The more Lancy said, the angrier she became. “I knew it. You did it on purpose!”
“Don’t ever think I don’t know what you are nning!”
Lancy’s words were harsh.
Lottie bit her lips and turned to look at him.
Fabian and Elijah sat in the corner ying chess, as if they didn’t hear the adults’ conversation at all.
As for Ralph, he was leisurely drinking tea. It seemed that the person who was attacked by Lancy with harsh words was not him.
After a long while, when Lancy finally stopped talking, Ralph put down the teacup and asked, “Lancy, are you done?”
Lancy rolled her eyes at him and stopped talking.
Ralph looked at Lancy with a faint smile. “Do you mean that you’re worried that I’ll take over Kayden’s property and my two sons and I will suppress him?”
Lancy rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
“Kayden is my nephew.”
Ralph raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea elegantly. “I’m thinking about what gift am I supposed to give him after he gets married. How about 10% of my shares in Chapman Group?”
His words silenced the whole living room.
Yank smiled at him. “Ralph, isn’t that too much?”
After all, Chapman Group was arge group owned a property of hundreds of billions.
Ten percent of the shares were equivalent to giving Kayden tens of billions.
Moreover, shares were not as simple as money.
If Ralph gives Kayden the shares, that means he will hand a part of rights of Chapman Group to him.
Although Yank never did business, he still understood what does it mean.
Ralph smiled and said, “Kayden’s decision made me see his responsibilities as a real man. I think he worth it.”
“Well.”
Yank shrugged his shoulders. “You’ve always had a good rtionship with Kayden. It’s normal for you to give so much.”
As he spoke, he nced at Lancy, who waspletely dumbfounded. “However, Lancy probably doesn’t really want it.”
“How can she ept a daughter-inw who is unconscious in exchange of 10% of the shares?”
