His Uncle
Chapter 234
The verse fell silent for a moment, no one daring to speak
Sur? The frail voice on the other end of the line trembled, trying again.
Marcus raised his hand, bringing the phone up to his face. His eyes flickered with amusement, and the corners of his lips curled into a sarcastic smirk.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: “Old man, are you begging me?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, there was a stunned silence on the other end of the phone.
The voice…
Old Mr. Morgan’s hands shook, incredulously pulling the phone away from his ear. He switched to speakerphone, his frail eyes flashing with a cold sharpness.
Sir, you…” He asked again, his voice now hoarse and choking
His eyes flickered with a mix of disbelief and pleading–hoping things weren’t as he feared.
So soon you’ve forgotten my voice, Father
Marcus’s cunning voice came through once more.
The entire room fell dead silent, not daring to make a sound
Marcus lowered his gaze and scanned the room, the mischievous gleam in his eyes turning to cold, icy contempt. It felt like a winter’s frost, so sharp that no one dared to look him in the eye
The words “Tather” felt like two sharp knives, carving deep into Old Mr. Morgan,
His hands trembled, and the phone slipped from his grip, crashing to the floor
The sound echoed through the root.
Marcus didn’t hurry to hang up. Instead, he placed the phone by his side and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes, waiting for the reaction on the other end.
This wasn’t over, not yet. He hadn’t personally heard the old man beg
But the straw he had desperately clung to turned out to be his most hated son. The moment Old Mr. Morgan recognized Marcus’s voice, the last string of hope in his heart snapped
How delightful! Truly delightful!
With that thought, Marcus’s lips curved up in a victorious smile. The atmosphere around him exuded the aura of a winner.
At that moment, the symphony in the hall started to play, and Marcus tapped his fingers to the beat, thoroughly enjoying the moment.
On the other end, Old Mr. Morgan stared at the phone, his expression dazed
His gaze, filled with deep realization, turned bitter.
So that’s why!
He had wondered why that rebellious son had so easily handed over the Morgan Group!
It turns out he had already made plans to completely wipe out the Morgan Group!

Chapter 234
No! Not just the company–he aimed to destroy the entire Morgan family.
From now on, the history of the business world would forget the Morgan family. And he, Old Mr. Morgan, would become a complete failure.
“Heh… Hahaha… Hahahahaha!”
Suddenly, a sad laugh echoed through the phone. Old Mr. Morgan slowly stood up from his wheelchair, his laughter growing louder, but it was tinged
with sorrow.
The symphony grew louder, and Marcus’s movements increased in rhythm, as if the sound of triumph was filling him from within.
The sound of a thud echoed on the other end, and the music abruptly stopped
Marcus slowly raised his eyes, his gaze calm yet filled with a sense of absolute power.
“Father! What happened! Father!”
A frantic voice came from the other end of the phone, followed by hurried footsteps. It seemed that a lot of servants were rushing over.
It looked like Old Mr. Morgan was going to spend some time in the hospital.
Without hesitation, Marcus pressed the hang–up button, then stood up and walked over to Gideon.
He raised his hand, tossing the phone back, and then took a tissue to wipe his hands, disgusted by the phone that had been soiled.
“That’s done,” Marcus said nonchalantly. “You heard it. The old man’s not in good health, and now he’s collapsed.”
He then lifted his gaze, his narrow eyes filled with a touch of revengeful amusement. He smirked and raised his voice slightly, “It’s time for you to show some filial piety. You haven’t taken care of him for all these years, and now that he’s sick, why don’t you spend some time with your father?”
With that, the people who had been silent until then finally raised their heads, surprised.
Father?
Old Mr. Morgan is actually Gideon’s father?!
This was absurd!
Years ago, rumors had circulated about Old Mr. Morgan having an illegitimate son, but the news was quickly suppressed.
Now, it seemed there was some truth to the rumors!
To hide his identity, he had spent years calling his real father “Uncle“!
Such composure–this was something no ordinary person could achieve!
Before long, whispers began to rise around the room, the crowd buzzing with gossip.
In this circle, an illegitimate child was the lowest of the low. Why else would even the Shaw family’s Nina go to such lengths to conceal her identity as an illegitimate child?
Being exposed like this was equivalent to becoming the most despised person in the world.
And, of course, was worse for someone from the prestigious Morgan family.
For generations, the Morgan family had never had any negative news about their family heads, and now the exposure of an illegitimate child would firmly brand these two father and son on the shame pillar.
“No wonder Old Mr. Morgan found a successor so quickly, turns out he had another child!”
“All these years, Old Mr. Morgan really kept it hidden well! But in the end, it’s till Marcus who inherited his father’s ruthlessness and intelligence. The younger generation has outstripped the older one!”
