Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side.
Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?"
"No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely."
I looked gloomy.
It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large.
As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher.
As for Roger by her side...
From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease.
Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie.
No wonder Ned was angry.
Dulcie said with a cold look on her face, "I've been single for so many years. And I managed to find someone I like. As my family members, instead of wishing me well, how come you say so?"
"Dulcie, don't be angry." Roger spoke in a gentle voice, "Your father may think that I'm here to fight for his property. We can make a premarital agreement, saying that in case we divorce, I won't take anything that belongs to you."
Hearing his words, Sheridan looked less solemn.
However, Ned was even angrier. Standing up, he pointed at the two of them, asking, "Getting married? Do you intend to get married? See how old you are! You are 52 years old! And he? He is only 30 years old, right? The gap between you is so large. How come you want to get married? You embarrass the whole Cowell Family!"
Hearing his words, Dulcie took a few steps forward and said with a cold look on her face, "Did
I embarrass the Cowell Family?"
She pointed at me and Patrick, "It is because of this woman that our family is in great shame, okay? Patrick and Shelton are in conflict because of her. Everything the two of them did is well-known in City Y as well as the whole country!"
"What have I done? I'm just going to marry a 20-year-old man! Is it a big deal?"
After finishing her words, she said to Roger behind her as if she wanted to annoy Ned, "Why should we make a premarital agreement? I am willing to let him take my money. No one can stop me!"
As soon as Dulcie finished speaking, I saw an imperceptible smile flash across Roger's eyes.
At the same time, Roger curled up the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, go ahead! It doesn't matter if you give him everything. From today onwards, I, Ned, don't have a daughter like you!" Ned was so angry that he slammed on the table.
"I will go."
Dulcie, who wasn't willing to show any weakness, turned around and pulled Roger to go out.
As they walked out, I quickly stood up, noticing that there was something wrong with the look on Ned's face, "Grandpa Cowell."
Shouting, I walked over to Ned's side.
Before I could reach his side, Ned lurched forward!
"Dad!" "Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
After Ned fell to the ground, everyone else gathered around him.
Because of the previous experience, we lay Ned flat. Then I began to dial 911.
Dulcie and Roger didn't leave either.
They stood at the door.
In daily life, she was a high and mighty woman. But at this time, she was no longer arrogant.
Sheridan, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore, "What the hell are you doing this for?"
"Why?" Roger looked down at Ned lying there, "Of course, it's because I hope this old man can die early."
"How can you curse my dad like that?"
Steppig forward, Dulcie wanted to hit Roger.
Dodging Dulcie's attack deftly, Roger said while curling up the corner of his lips, "I speak nicely by saying so. My grandfather is dead. On what ground can this old bastard be still alive?"
"Your...Your grandfather?"
Dulcie asked.
Curling up the corner of his lips, Roger said, "Yes. Back then, my grandfather ran business with this old bastard together. Their business was almost of the same size. No, my grandfather's company should be larger-sized. This old man was jealous of my grandfather, convincing him to construct buildings, bid for ads, and be the top bidder. In the end, my grandfather lost money and committed suicide by jumping off a building. And he is alive and well."
Hearing his words, everyone present had different expressions.
On my side, Patrick said, "Is it really my grandfather who forced your grandfather to die?"
"Or what?" Roger looked at him.
"Isn't it the insatiable greed, the ambition, and the incompetence that drove your grandpa to death?"
Every word Patrick had said was impartial.
Feeling stunned at first, Roger quickly calmed himself down, "How is it possible?"
"Regarding all the things that my grandfather advised your grandfather to do, he did them by himself as well. He just told your grandfather how he had achieved accomplishments. It's a pity that your grandfather was incapable." Patrick looked at me, "Like me, even if I tell you the secret of how to make a company big now, you can't be as successful as I am. That is because you... you are short-sighted and shallow."
