Charlie wasn't very surprised when Jordan went back on his words. In fact, he had expected it.
When there was more than one child in the family, it was only normal that parents found it difficult to treat each offspring fairly and equally.
Lady Wilson was the best example. She didn’t like Claire very much because she disobeyed her by being together with Charlie, so she favored the obedient Wendy more.
Jordan had never ever regarded Liam as his own son. He only raised Liam as a servant in the Weaver family, so how could he possibly hand over the family business to him?
Charlie glared at Jordan and asked again, "I'll give you one last chance to settle the chairman position issue. Think about it carefully before you speak."
Jordan sneered, "I don't have to think, I'll tell you one more time, I'll never let Liam be the chairman! To tell you the truth, I’ve never thought about electing him as the chairman. Even if he saved the Weaver family today, to me, he is nothing but an illegitimate son, a b* stard who was born by the village sl*t without my consent!"
Then, he turned to Liam and shouted, "And you, you ungrateful dog! I've kept you in our house for so many
years is to make you an obedient dog! How dare you covet the chairman position! If I had known how greedy and ungrateful you were, I wouldn't have brought you back in the first place! I should’ve just thrown you into the lake at the mountain after that woman died!" 1
Liam glared back at Jordan in great dismay. "Jordan Weaver, you can insult me, but don’t you dare insult m y mother!”
"Your mother?" Jordan smirked in disdain, "A village si *t who bit off more than she could chew, and she even dreamed of marrying me! Shameless woman! She makes me sick!" 6
Liam trembled in anger, he clenched his fists so tightly that veins were visible on his arms. "Jordan Weaver, you insult my mother over and over again. I'll kill you!" 2
He was about to rush forward when Charlie stood in his way and said flatly, "Liam, stop. Don’t dirty your hands with that crippled old man, it will tarnish your reputation as the head of the Weaver family, the chairman of Weaver Pharmaceuticals."
Everyone gaped in bewilderment upon Charlie's direct remark. 1
Jordan was taken aback, then laughed sinisterly and said, "Dude, you're so funny, do you know that? Do you think you have the final say about our family's business?" 4
