Beau spoke with absolute certainty.
He truly believed that Kingsley must have conned his way into becoming the Larsons’ son-in-law.
However, the moment he said so, Michael cut him off with an angry shout. “You shut your mouth at
once!”
Michael’s face was as dark as night.
An attempt to steal the Larson Familyfortune?
Kingsley was someone who had deep connections with senior executives at Coliree Group!
Why would he care about the little bit of money that the Larsons had?
What kind of joke was that?
And it was even more laughable to say that Kingsley was toying with Cecilia’s feelings!
Michael and Megan were more than happy to do whatever it took for Kingsley to end up with their
daughter.
If Kingsley was willing to entertain Cecilia’s feelings, they would probably throw a celebration!
Michael glared at Beau and threatened, “I’m warning you, watch your tongue! If you spew such
nonsense ever again, I’ll make you pay!”
“Mr. Larson, I’m telling you the truth!” Beau became frantic. “He was just asking for another woman’s
number just now! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Dr. Lynch!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJude hurriedly nodded. “Yes, that’s right! That guy clearly is a womanizer!”
Both Beau and Jude assumed that Michael would immediately change his tune about Kingsley.
They did not expect that Michael would simply chuckle and declare, “A fine man like Mr. Nicholson
would surely have many women around him. I would be more than grateful if he is willing to let my
daughter rank among them!”
His words left Jude, Beau, and everyone else speechless.
Beau was dumbstruck by what he heard.
It felt like he had stepped onto Mars.
Did such a f*cking open-minded father-in-law really exist?
Also, he could hardly believe Michael’s words.
He called Kingsley a fine man?
Beau felt like he was about to get an aneurysm!
Earlier, when Beau was introducing his credentials to Michael, Michael had said that he did not care
who Beau was at all.
And yet, Michael was now declaring that an elementary school dropout was a fine man?
What kind of f*cking double standard was that?
Meanwhile, Jude was also at a complete loss.
He could not believe his ears.
The great Mr. Larson was actually groveling at Kingsley’s feet.
Could it be… that this Nicholson fellow really has a powerful background?
The moment this thought occurred to him, he heard Michael asking Kingsley, “My dear son-in-law, what
did you call me over for?”
Kingsley felt helpless about the way Michael addressed him.
Unfortunately, he did agree to pretend to be a couple with Cecilia.
Therefore, he could only acquiesce to Michael calling him “my dear son-in-law” each time…
“Mr. Larson, did you promise to donate one million to Hill Crest Hospital?” Kingsley asked.
“Yes, I did.” Michael nodded. “My mother-in-law is currently staying in this hospital, so I agreed to
donate to them.”
Michael felt a tinge of regret when he thought about the one million. The entire family fortune, both
business and properties combined, was only worth about eight million.
It felt like it was costing him an arm and a leg to donate one million to this hospital.
But he had to donate this sum of money!
The Foxes were a large and influential family in Cleapolis.
Megan’s brother named Matt and his company, Prime Corporation, was one of the leaders of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoseland Chamber of Commerce.
Matt had spent over 1.2 million to hire dozens of international experts and specialists from Mittera to
treat Old Mrs. Fox. They even started a research team to specifically look into Old Mrs. Fox’s
treatment.
Hence, Michael could only fork a million over to the hospital so that his wife would not have to hang her
head low in front of her family.
When Kingsley asked about the one million, there was a flash of unwillingness in Michael’s eyes.
Although he hid it very quickly, Kingsley still managed to catch it.
Kingsley had a faint smile as he said, “Mr. Larson, keep your one million. Don’t bother donating it!”
The entire office went into a frenzy when they heard that.
Everyone stared at Michael anxiously as they were afraid that he would agree.
“Mr. Larson… please don’t! Cough, cough… This sum of money is very important to our hospital!” Jude
clutched his chest while coughing and pleading with him.
Beau was also horrified by the turn of events!
He screeched at Kingsley, “W-What are you saying? Do you think the donation won’t happen just
because you say so? So what if you’re the Larsons’ son-in-law? You still don’t have the right to decide
for the entire Larson family!”
