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.

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?"
