My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303: Chapter 303: No Match for Him

Damien’s words were so harsh that his Third Uncle was left speechless for a moment.

"You... so what if that’s what I meant?"

"Your grandfather’s death is a settled fact. Shouldn’t we be handling his final affairs right now? Is what we’re thinking wrong? You’ve really been spoiled rotten by your grandfather your whole life! You’re completely lawless! How dare you use that tone with me and your Second Uncle? Do you look down on us that much?"

Damien did indeed look down on them. ’Disgraceful old men.’

They had been sheltered by their grandfather in their youth, living lives of debauchery until they were 40. In recent years, they’d been sheltered by him, Damien, ignoring the company’s business and their own wives and children at home. If anyone was spoiled, it was them.

’After being freeloaders for so long, they actually want to act tough? They have no idea what they’re really worth.’

However, he didn’t want to waste any more words on them.

With minds like his Second and Third Uncles, the more he said, the more pointless it became.

Besides, as Third Uncle had said, his grandfather’s death was a settled fact. It was useless for him to refuse to believe it.

But the news of his grandfather’s death could not be announced publicly.

"Can’t be announced? Why not?"

Hearing him pull another stunt, both Second Uncle and Third Uncle were so angry their hair was practically standing on end.

"Are you out of your mind, Damien Vaughn? You’re getting more and more ridiculous! If your grandfather hadn’t worked his fingers to the bone for most of his life, do you think anyone would even know who you are now? He doted on you the most your whole life! And in the end, you want to hold his funeral in secret? Do you really think your two uncles are dead and you’re the sole ruler of the Vaughn Family?"

This was precisely why Damien couldn’t be bothered with them.

’They only use their brains when they’re sweet-talking women or swindling money from their own family. The rest of the time, their brains are just for show.’

The company had several major projects launching this year that required large-scale financing.

It was common knowledge that once news of a patriarch’s death in a wealthy family gets out, even if there’s no internal conflict, rumors would fly. And that’s not even mentioning that Second and Third Uncle truly did have such intentions.

Announcing their grandfather’s death at this time would not only make it impossible for them to secure financing but could even cause the stock price to plummet.

There was another point. It had only been a little over three months since the death of Damien’s mother was announced. To follow that up with his grandfather’s...

After hearing his explanation, both Second and Third Uncle looked rather awkward.

They had only been thinking about getting their hands on power and money as quickly as possible. How had they overlooked these things?

But, since they had already brought it up, he had to give them a specific date, right? Even if they had to wait, they needed a timeline to ease their minds.

"Then tell us, when would be a suitable time to announce it? We can’t let your grandfather’s body grow cold while his old relatives and neighbors don’t even know, can we?"

Normally, Damien wouldn’t say something so disrespectful, but they were the Old Master’s closest relatives. They knew better than anyone how large the Old Master’s social circle had been when he was alive.

’What old relatives and neighbors? He hadn’t been in touch with them for years.’

’They didn’t care when he was alive, but suddenly they care after he’s dead? Is that necessary?’

"The specific timing of the announcement depends on the situation; it’s not something I can just casually set a date for. Second Uncle, Third Uncle, the company isn’t mine alone. You can get involved with the projects too. If you’re really that eager to announce Grandfather’s death, then you should hurry up and help make these projects happen."

Hearing this, Second Uncle was displeased again.

"What do you mean, we’re eager to announce your grandfather’s death? Damien, why are all your words so barbed today? It’s as if you think your Third Uncle and I are happy that your grandfather passed away!"

"We’re just speaking objectively! What younger family member wouldn’t want to give a deceased elder a grand, lavish funeral? Especially for someone of your grandfather’s stature! If word got out that your grandfather died and we just buried him quietly, we’d be a laughingstock!"
