Wolf President Hooks Up novel Chapter 490

The father and son were separated only by a pane of glass, but they felt far apart from each other.

Emmett pounded into that warm house.

The sunshine and heat here made him feel hard to breathe. Maybe that meant he wouldn't be able to live a fair life.

"Father," Emmett whispered.

"I know you're coming, but I didn't expect you to be here so fast. Come, sit here and try my tea."

Atwood smiled bitterly and pointed at the table. He sat down first, poured a glass of tea, and pushed it towards Emmett.

Emmett did not move. He turned his gaze from the cup to Atwood.

Atwood took a sip of the tea.

"Is our business that important?" Emmett asked heavily.

"Of course!" Atwood stared firmly at Emmett. He patted his chest and said emotionally, "I devoted my life to it. I can't lose it! Emmett, you are my son. You have to give up something for this."

"You mean Elaine? I'll be a coward if I marry a woman I don't like just for it!"

***

"It's not that simple. Your marriage is about the future of our family! I was born in a poor farmer's family. But you're different. You were born loaded. I hope that your children and even your descendants will be born noble. That is the most important thing, understand? The woman you marry must be a lady of status so that your children will be respected."

Emmett laughed mockingly, "If my son needs family support to stand out, then he is a failure. Father, when you put me in charge of the ZH Clan, it was not as large and orderly as it is now. At that time, everything was in chaos. Moreover, our company was not strong enough then. It could only make some money without any power or foundation. I worked hard. You're well aware of the situation. It was I who took ZH Clan back before I went abroad. Father, I don't need my wife to bring honor to our family. This is ridiculous! You never face up to me and Elaine. Actually, family background is not the real reason why you are against us, right?"

As Emmett spoke, he smiled slightly.

But that smile carried piercing coldness.

Atwood's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his son.

"What do you mean?"

Emmett slowly picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea.

He found it bitter.

"You should know very well, right?"

Atwood was livid. He bit his mouth tightly and his eyes were glinting with anger.

As his face contorted, he roared in a low voice, "I don't understand and I don't know! I don't want you to be with that girl just because of her family! There's no other reason!"

"You are as stubborn as ever. What is done by night appears by day. No matter how well you pretend, someone will find you out. Father, do you remember my mother's car accident? Don't you feel weird?"

Suddenly, Atwood knocked over the cup and his hands shook uncontrollably.

"What do you want to say?"

"Again, you should know what I'm saying."
