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 glanced 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 successor 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 glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man who was his uncle, "I found the transaction records between you and Harlan Johnson. I also got your account 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 stimulated 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 dollars is just a small amount for you. Since you are wealthy, you should help your poor relatives, 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. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
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 glared 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 glared at the old woman as if he was an angry tiger whose territory had been invaded. But he remained elegant and had a commanding presence.
The old woman's son and daughter-in-law 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-in-law 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 glance and then glared 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 of complaints. 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 to come 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.
