Alexander and Mitchell’s expressions looked worse as Michael and Eleanor left.
Especially Alexander, who had a gloomy look on his face.
“Damn it.” He punched the wall. “Where the hell did he come from? I’m so mad!”
“Pfft!” Mitchell also looked ashamed and angry. “Why should I take Lennon as a role model? Why should I take such a person as a role model? I should trample over someone like him!”
“Oh…” Alexander sighed.
He thought no one could stop the Wonka family from stealing the Carver family’s fortune once Michael died and Mitchell and Eleanor were married. No one expected someone like Lydia to show up midway.
Lydia not only cured Michael’s chronic disease, but Michael also liked him. He felt like his son’s status had plummeted in Michael’s mind.
“Son, you must please Eleanor. Do whatever you can to marry her. Even if it’s a little rushed, it doesn’t matter even if she gets pregnant with your baby.”
Mitchell sneered. “Don’t worry about that, Dad. I have that stupid woman wrapped around my finger. She believes everything I say. She’s going to be my puppet all her life.”
“That’s good.” Alexander nodded slowly at this, the malice in his eyes thickening. “We must teach Dr. Lennon a lesson. Otherwise, he won’t understand what he should and shouldn’t get involved in.”
***
The next morning, a car pulled up to Lydia’s private villa.
Two old men of similar age got out of the car together.
