Chapter 585
“Lost cause.” Josiah and Mrs. Larson said in unison.
Mrs. Larson was speechless and glared at her son. Then, she looked at Josiah and said, “Joe, your cousin is quite smart. He picks things up quickly too. He just doesn’t want to learn.” “It is exactly because he doesn’t want to learn, which is why he is a lost cause.” Josiah placed his utensils down and got up from the chair. “Aunt Mary, my flight to Feldenberg is at eleven soon. I’ll make a move first.”
Mrs. Larson was just about to say that it was still early, and he did not need to rush but Charlie said first, “Goodbye, Josiah.”
When Josiah has decided to leave, no one can stop him. Mrs. Larson sent Josiah to the door. When she returned, she said to Charlie curtly, “How could you talk to your cousin that way? You’re so impolite.” Charlie pouted and said, “He’s so excellent and cultured, but I don’t see him being polite to me either.”
“You…” Mrs. Larson said, “He is older than you.”
“I don’t need someone so exceptional in my life.”
Charlie has never liked Josiah since young. Other than the fact that Josiah was the great kid of another family, Josiah had always treated him coldly, as if he was all high and mighty.
Josiah has never liked Charlie either. There was no other reason, he just looked down on him. He looked down on him for not having or gaining any skills since young.
Mrs. Larson was very helpless about that too. She had tried to improve their relationship but
always failed.
In the end, she angrily said, “No matter what, this time you’re back, you have to learn how to manage a company. If you let me see you mixing up with those useless friends of yours, I’ll break your leg.” “Mom, I don’t want to stay in the country.”
“You have no choice,” Mrs. Larson said, turned, and left.
