To Live an Eternal Life novel Chapter 55

"Axel, congratulations. Katherine has found a good husband."

"When Katherine was young, I knew she would one day marry into the purple. See? She made it! Congratulations!"

"Spencer, what skin care products have you been using lately? You look so much prettier."

"Yes! And you seem to have lost some weight, and got a better shape."

People were always pragmatic.

When Axel's family took a hard knock, everyone ignored and ridiculed them. Now Katherine was going to marry into the Lloyd family, her relatives gathered to compliment her.

Spencer, however, relished the adulation, and the couple responded with happy faces.

"Silence." All of a sudden, a light shout sounded.

Ewan helped the old lady out.

Spencer stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mum, Charles has sent his dowry here. Tomorrow Katherine is getting a divorce. According to the custom, we should send them a return present, so as not let the Lloyd family to come here again."

"Mom, we would go to Jinling with Katherine. You are getting older, so stay home and save the troubles." Axel said.

"No."

Spencer was about to ask what to do when she saw the old lady looking at Charles and said apologetically, "I am sorry, Mr. Lloyd, I don't agree to this marriage."

Suddenly, the room became quiet.

They just agreed. Why did the old lady change her mind in such a short time?

Some were happy while others were sad.

For Lewis and others, who couldn't stand to see the Axel family rise, it was a good thing that the old lady went back on her word.

"What's the matter, Mum?" asked Spencer and her husband, "We just agreed."

"The Hunt family is just a small family, not worthy of the Lloyd family in Jinling. Katherine is my granddaughter, and I will not let her live in sorrow and sadness."

Spencer spoke squarely and fairly, and her eyes were so fierce that Spencer didn't dare refute.

"I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Lloyd, but you must understand that it is beyond our reach. As for the betrothal gifts, please take them back, thanks."

It changed so fast.

Charles's face turned sour, and then his eyes fell on Katherine and her parents, and his mouth twitched. "Damn, why did the old lady go back on her word?" he thought.

Did the Xiang family interfere in this?

"Mom, you can't do this. Katherine can be happy when she marries to the Lloyd family. You're destroying Katherine's life by doing this. She's your granddaughter. You can't be so cruel." Spencer shouted.

Seeing that all her hopes were scuppered in a twinkling of an eye, Spencer couldn't accept it.

It was like the bank gave 10 million to you, but a few minutes later, it sent you a message: "The system went wrong. We have to take back the 10 million. The balance in your account is ninety-nine cents."

A moment ago, she was in the heaven, but a minute later, she was sent to the hell.

"Are you questioning me?" The old lady said lightly, but with strong deterrence.

Spencer's eyes turned red. She bit her lips, and burst out laughing, "You don't want to see our family rising. Axel is your son and Katherine is your granddaughter. Why are you being so partial?"

"She's not worthy of the rich family? You are worried that Katherine would live in sorrow and sadness? What the bullshit it is! What the hell has Ewan told you? You did believe him?!"

"You're such an old fool!"

The Hunt family was taken aback and took a step back, away from the Axels's family, for fear of being involved in the family affairs.

"How dare you!"

Axel strode forward and slapped Spencer. "How dare you say so to my Mum!? You are not qualified to be the member of the Hunt family!"

"I don't care!"

Spencer, with tears in her eyes, buried her red cheeks in her hand, and barked pointing at the people around her, "You snobs. Were you just kneeling down like dogs? You are scared now?"

"You've always been with the old fool. See. Has the Hunt family become stronger under her leadership? She still pretends to be Empress Dowager when she doesn't have any without any ability. It is ridiculous to trust such a fool as Ewan. The Hunt family will go from bad to worse under her leadership!"

Spencer not only insulted the old lady; she even cursed the Hunt family.

The relatives bowed their heads and gasped. They could feel that the old lady was furious, and Katherine's sisters were also trembling with fear.

Axel turned white and slapped Spencer again. "You're crazy to talk to Mom like that. Get down on your knees and apologize!"

"You hit me!"

"I..." Axel looked at his hand, unable to speak.

Spencer burst into tears and screamed, "You asshole. I've been with you for 20 years, but I have not had felt any happiness for a single day, and I even get suppressed and bullied. You are her son. She is so biased, but you don't fight back for your own rights!"

"Is it because I didn't give birth to a boy, but two daughters? But what about my baby girls? Aren't they not good? So what if Ewan is a boy? He is as stupid as a pig. Whoring, gambling, wantoning, what good have he done?"

"Axel, are you a man? Who is holding up the family? If it weren't for Katherine, the second master of the Hunt family would have died. If Charlie is a useless man, then you're worse than Charlie..."

"It's been more than 20 years. I am tired. I think it is time to have an end."

Axel's mind went blank. There was a lump in his throat and he couldn't utter a word even if he wanted.

"I'll see you tomorrow at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I haven't been back to my family for years. I'm going back."

That Spencer said shocked Katherine and Isabella, who hugged Spencer and cried.

"Mom, what are you doing? Don't divorce Dad. I'll make a difference. I'll make you and Dad live a good life."

Spencer pushed her two women away and took Isabella by the hand. "Go back to my family with Mom. Katherine, you have business affairs to be busy with, so you just stay here. But listen to mother, the project is in your control. If the Hunt family didn't treat you well, just leave with the project. You don't need to suffer from cold shoulder."

Everyone was shocked again by her words.

At the moment, no one dared to look Spencer in the eye. Spencer's relatives were already impressed by her verve.

Step by step, Spencer and Isabella left the house, and Katherine ran after them in tears.

Charlie was worried and ran after them.

The day was gray and night was falling.

In the dark night, a lonely moon appeared pale and cold in the sky.

The cold wind howled, making Axel tremble.

"Mum, Spencer was a bit emotional just now and said a lot of the wrong things. You will forgive her, will you?"

"She..."

Axel turned around suddenly.

The old lady shuddered as she saw for the first time the fierce look in her useless son's eyes.

She blinked and looked at him again.

That fierce look had disappeared.

"Mom, you'll forgive Spencer, will you?"

The old lady took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Sure, Spencer was a bit provoked by me stopping Katherine marrying the Lloyd family. I am not a mean person, so just let it go! But it won't happen next time."

Axel bowed to show respect and left the house without looking back.
