Wilhelm smirked smugly. "Hey, Rachel, you have quite a temper. We're of the same generation in the Golding family, so what if you are older than me? Don't forget, you're just a woman who will marry another man sooner or later. When you do, you'll no longer be a member of the Golding family but a mere outsider, get it?" 9
Charlie opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he held back.
After all, this was the Golding family's internal affairs. As an outsider, he had no right to barge in. He didn't have a justifiable reason to intervene at this time. 3
In addition, it was still unclear what the main purpose of Adrian and Rogan's visit was, so he decided to stay back and observe the situation for a while.
At this moment, Yule chided angrily, "That's enough! B e quiet!" 5
His furious roar successfully calmed the crowd down. He turned to Adrian and Rogan and asked in a cold voice, "Adrian, Rogan, I don't care why you've come here, but if you have anything to say, stop beating around the bush like a sissy and spill it out openly and honestly. It's a disgrace to our family!"
Adrian smiled as he rubbed his chin, and asked with a somewhat sinister yet pretentious tone, "Brother, I
heard that your condition has deteriorated again, is it true? Did you refuse treatment from the hospital?" 4
Yule replied coldly, "I'm sorry, I've changed my mind and have decided to actively go through with the treatment. My daughter isn't married yet, so I can't submit to my fate and die a cowardly death just like that."
Upon hearing that, the expressions of Adrian and the rest of the gang suddenly changed.
Rogan couldn't help but whine, "Yule, haven't you already decided to give up the treatment? Why have you changed your mind now? Even with active treatment, it will only extend your life for another two weeks or so, but you'd have to go through all kinds of torture, suffering, and experiments in the hospital. Why bother? Think about it." 6
Yule's expression was extremely cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly are you trying to say? Cut to the chase right now or I'll kick you out of the house!” 5
Adrian chuckled a bit and said, "Brother, you are our old man's favorite son. When he died, he gave you half of the Golding family's assets but only 25% for me and another 25% for Rogan. Why do you need so many assets anyway, right? You don't have a son and when your daughter gets married, she will no longer carry our family name. You can’t let our family fortune slip into an outsider's hands, right?"
At this point, Adrian looked at Rachel again and said with a sinister smile, "Moreover, Rachel is still quite young and beautiful. How do you expect her to be a widow for the rest of her life after you die? I’m sure she will remarry another guy soon! By then, she'll take a portion of the Golding family's assets with her. Do you really want our family's assets to end up in the hands of outsiders, namely your wife and daughter?" 8
When Rachel heard this, she was not only angry but also humiliated. Tears flowed from her eyes like punctured dams, a
Quinn was also furious by the ridiculous remarks. She clenched her fists tightly with resentment.
Yule was shaking with rage. His face, which had already turned pale, became even paler than snow. He was trembling so violently that he could have died at any minute. 5
Charlie had enough of it. He reached out to support Yule's swaying body while growling with an extremely sullen expression, "You b*stards, you're going too far!"
