The Forgotten Titan's Resurgence novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 

“I’m telling the truth!” Gideon declared. 

“You still refuse to admit it, huh?” Marion rebuked in outrage. If not for Arnold holding her back, she would’ve slapped Gideon already. 

“Who the hell do you think you are, Gideon? How dare you doubt Matthew? Apologize to him at once!” Elara demanded in fury. 

Despite being generally cool–headed, Gideon couldn’t help but feel angry. Snorting, he shot back, “You’re believing everything he says? You foolishly believe he received Rachel’s recognition just because he says so? 

“Where’s the evidence? Have him call Rachel up right now. 

Matthew’s heart thumped nervously. 

However, Marion said in distaste, “You disgust me, Gideon. You’re just stubbornly refusing to admit you’re wrong. Since that’s the case, Matthew, call Ms. Avila right now and prove it to him!” 

Matthew wanted to cry. He dared not call Rachel, of course he’d be on cloud nine if he even managed to get her number! 

“Make the call, Matthew, so that we can shut him up and stop him from disgusting us with his stupidity,” Elara chimed in as she shot Gideon a hateful glare. 

With a solemn expression, Matthew replied, “Ms. Avila is a busy woman. There’s no reason to bother her with something this unimportant, and I don’t need to prove myself to anyone. If you don’t believe me, I’ll leave right this minute, and we can forget about the investment.” 

Marion hastily held onto Matthew and assured him, “Don’t be angry, Matthew. You don’t need to mind about what Gideon says. You’re a talented young man, and he’s nothing but a useless loser. He’s not worth you getting upset over.” 

“That’s right, Matthew,” Elara chimed in. “You’ve already agreed to the investment, so you can’t take it back now! 

Matthew sat back down, though his posture remained stiff. 

Seeing this, Marion shouted, “Gideon! Get over here and apologize to Matthew right now!” 

“You want me to apologize to him?” 

Gideon laughed. With an amused expression, he remarked in derision, “First of all, I’m telling the truth. Rachel doesn’t even know him, let alone think highly of him. Secondly, he isn’t qualified to receive an apology from me. We are worlds apart.” 

Elara was filled with disappointment. 

The Snows were nothing more than an impoverished family now, but Gideon was still this arrogant. He had no self -awareness at all. Did he, once the most accomplished of the Four Elites of Goldspire, turn into such a self- absorbed and deluded man? 

What a sorrowful thing to see. 

She agreed that Gideon and Matthew were worlds apart. Matthew was the scion of a family with hundreds of millions in net worth. So what if Gideon was the head of the Snow family now? That only made him the head of a poor family. It counted for nothing!

Elara sneered to herself, but she realized that Gideon looked dead serious. It didn’t seem like he was kidding around. Did he even manage to fool himself? 

She couldn’t resist asking, “Why are you so certain that Ms. Avila isn’t investing in Matthew’s company?” 

“Because I asked her myself, and she said she doesn’t even know Matthew, let alone would she invest in his company,” Gideon replied. 

“What did you say?” 

Elara was stupefied, while Matthew started laughing. Marion couldn’t be bothered to rebuke Gideon. Even Arnold’s eyes flickered with disappointment, though he quickly reasoned with himself. 

He figured Gideon, who’d only just returned to Goldspire, was just having a hard time adjusting to the Snow family’s fall from grace. Therefore, he was trying to use his words to prove himself. That being said, words meant nothing. Gideon needed to prove himself with his actions. 

Nevertheless, he spoke up to smooth things over, “That’s enough. Gideon, you should head to your room and get some rest. Matthew, let’s discuss the investment.” 

Gideon went back to his room. He’d already told the Seymours the truth, but he couldn’t control what they did. 

One hour later, Arnold came to Gideon’s room and brought out a contract, saying, “Gideon, I just went to the bank to transfer the money to Matthew. Here’s the investment contract. I’ve signed your name to it and invested a million in your name.” 

“Dad-” 

“You don’t need to say anything,” Arnold interrupted.
