Chapter 53 Annoying Guests
"Nancy, you have suffered so much over these years. Come here. Oh, you take after your mom. It's a blessing."
The old woman came up to Nancy with a smile and wanted to hug her. But Nancy threw her arms around Marcus' neck tightly and burrowed her face into his chest.
Marcus also turned sideways to avoid the old lady, looking at her with cold eyes.
"Oh, you are so uncouth!"
The old woman glared at Marcus, "Don't you know you should respect your elders? I'm your grandma. I came specially to see Nancy and you. But you didn't even greet me when you saw me. So did your mom. Your family is impolite."
"Stop it!"
The Elderly Mr. Brook snorted coldly and thumped the coffee cup in his hands down on a table.
The Elderly Mr. Brook always treated his relatives with filial respect. He grew up during the famine and had a good relationship with his relatives. When the Elderly Mr. Brook was a child, he was left at home by his father who was away from home to work. His uncle took good care of him. So after the Elderly Mr. Brook made a fortune, he also returned to his uncle's care and helped his elder male cousin.
But his elder male cousin became increasingly greedy.
The elder male cousin was timid and incompetent, and his wife was ignorant and greedy. His wife always made mischief between him and the Elderly Mr. Brook. So the Elderly Mr. Brook felt disappointed and gradually became estranged from his elder male cousin.
After the elder male cousin died, his wife pestered the Elderly Mr. Brook for money. The Elderly Mr. Brook tolerated her at his age. But she wanted to replace Nancy with Liz, her granddaughter, which was unbearable. Moreover, she spoke ill of Nancy in front of the Elderly Mr. Brook. The Elderly Mr. Brook couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop it."
The Elderly Mr. Brook looked at the old woman who was his elder male cousin's wife. His piercing and eagle eyes oppressed the old lady and made her dare not to look straight at him. After all, the Elderly Mr. Brook was a towering figure leading the era. He had been retired for years but still preserved his dignified bearing.
"What are my daughter-in-law and grandchildren like is my business. You have no position to scold them as an outsider!"
The old woman shuddered with fear and realized she was being criticized in front of many young people. She suddenly blushed and took a few steps back with her hand on her heart.
The old woman's son quickly stepped forward to stop her from falling. "Mom, what's the matter with you?"
"Jeffrey, you have gone too far!"
The old woman's hands trembled with anger. She sat on the ground and began to cry.
"I'm your sister-in-law. When your father was away from home to work, you were raised by my family. But now you treat us like this. How ungrateful of you. You will pay the price for it!"
The old woman was dressed in fancy clothes and wore many accessories, like a gold necklet and a gold bracelet. But she acted like a mean old shrew.
