Chapter 2754
Amelia’s natal family was too powerful and aggressive, preventing Arthur from holding his
head high in front of others. That was why he remarried a year after Amelia’s death and
even endured all the scolding that the Winslets threw at him for being an ungrateful
husband That was until Cooper forced him to let Nick inherit the Wickam as a whole, and
the more the Winslets persecuted him, the more unwilling he was to compromise
‘All I wanted was to prove to Cooper that even without his family’s help and Nick, the
Wickams would still thrive

“But Noel has really messed up big time this time around. Why would I go to Nick if it
weren’t for him?”
Martha jerked his arm. “Then, did Nick agree to the plan? He’s also your son, so no matter
what, he won’t refuse to help, right? Anyway, just get Nick to bring Noel back.”
“Did he agree?” Arthur shunned her away and rebuked angrily, “If you had managed to
educate Noel properly, would he have gone out there and brought home such a hot
potato?”
Martha gnashed her teeth.

and I still have a future in the Wickams?”
On the other side of the city, in a Southeast Eurasian restaurant…
Mahina poured Sunny and Nick a cup of tea each. “I just asked around town. Noel had a
fight with Travis in the clubhouse last month because of a woman, and Noel had someone
break Travis’ leg. Since then, Python took Noel away, saying that the Wickams had a week
to provide them with an explanation. If not, they will break Noel’s leg too.”
Sunny snorted. “This is the son that Arthur Wickam has brought up.”
Nick picked up his teacup. “Python dotes on his only son very much, and he’s a very
vengeful man, so he’ll not let Noel go so easily this time.”
Sunny nodded. “Even if your Uncle Cooper were to come forward with you, Python wouldn’t
even necessarily back off for your sake. After all, the person that we’re talking about now is
his only heir That’s why I told you that if you were to have made a rash decision the other
day and anger Python, you’d be the one who has to shoulder all consequences as soon as
the matter went out of the Wickams’ control.”
The three of them finished their lunch in the restaurant and rested for a while before they
went to the Winslet manor.
When Cooper saw the return of his nephew, he hurried out to welcome him. “Nick.”
Seeing that Sunny was also there, Cooper let off a polite smile. “Master Southern, you’ve
come too?”
“Nick is my godson, so it’s only natural for me to be here with him.”
Cooper nodded and invited them into the house.
Before they could sit in the living room, Nick answered a phone call, and the helpers served

tea.
Cooper had also heard about what Noel had brought back home to the Wickams and
commented, “Arthur came to see me after the accident too, but I turned him down. He
wouldn’t have been able to make it to today if it weren’t for the Winslets. Since he’s chosen
to go down the ungrateful route, I really don’t know what makes him think that he still has
the bargaining chip to come to me now, asking for my help.”
Cooper’s expression dimmed. It was obvious that he resented Arthur.
Sunny picked up the teacup and flicked the lid of the cup. “I really don’t understand. Nick is
the eldest son. of the Wickams, so how can Arthur be this blind.”
Cooper sighed. “Nick had been following me around quite a lot since childhood, while Arthur

even more partial. That’s why I felt unreconciled for Nick and took him away from his
family.”
Cooper put down his teacup. “Oh yeah, did Arthur go looking for Nick?”
Sunny nodded.
Cooper was so exasperated that he slammed the table. “Hmph! I knew it! That good-for-
nothing son of his has gotten into trouble. That’s the only time he remembers he still has
another son.”
Sunny looked at him. “That being said, Nick is still related to the Wickams by blood. If he
chooses not to help them, the Wickams will accuse him of being inhumane and ruthless.
Nick might not care about this, but still, his reputation will be ruined by someone else’s
mistake. I won’t be reconciled if that happens.”
“However, even if Nick goes out there and tries to pick up this mess, what can he do to
change Python’s mind? Python is now enraged, and the only thing that he wants is to
avenge his son.
“This is a problem that Noel caused. Why should my nephew be the one to help wipe his
*ss? What Python wants is an eye for an eye, and a leg for a leg. If Arthur is reluctant to let
his son get hurt, why should we trade that sc*mbag’s leg with Nick’s?”
