Kenneth turned up his nose at Lady Wilson and the rest of the family, so he couldn't care less about their devastating status. 3
Right now, all he could think of was getting back to Eastcliff as soon as possible, then visiting the finest doctor in the city to treat his erectile disorder.
Lady Wilson marched forward to plead with him again, but Kenneth shoved her away irritably and said, "That’s enough, I need to pack my things now.
End of discussion."
Lady Wilson's face turned pale. "No, Kenneth, you can't just leave us like this. You know how we are right now. Without your help, we'll go bankrupt...” 4
Then, she winked at Wendy.
Wendy stuck herself on Kenneth’s arm and pleaded," Kenneth, Grandma is right. Besides, didn't you say that you want to invest eighty million dollars in our company? You only gave us ten million so far, it's not enough to solve our crisis!" 3
Then, she added, "Why don't you give us the remaining seventy million to keep the company afloat? Perhaps we'll already be up and moving when you return to Aurous Hill." 4
The rest of the family looked at him expectantly and desperately. Kenneth could leave whenever he
wanted, but he had to give them the money before he left, otherwise, the Wilson family would be done for.
Harold marched forward too. "Kenneth, everyone in the upper-class circle in the city knows that my sister is your lover. Her reputation is somewhat tarnished now. If you go, she will be a laughing stock!" 2
They didn't expect that Kenneth would be enraged by their remarks! 4
He cursed, his face as gloomy as a thundercloud," Money, money, money! All you can think of is money! You should be grateful that I didn't take back the ten million dollars, how dare you still ask me for more money? Don't make me laugh!” 2
