Chapter 16 Rotherford Family
Although others may perceive Young Master Marco's speaking as arrogance, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant as the Rotherford family had a vast number of properties in the city center, and it wasn't limited to just hotels but also well-known bars and a grand gambling casino! "My apologies to family head Francisco for being late for your birthday.
But don't worry, family head Francisco, my grandfather had me prepare a lavish gift for you! 1 hope you can forgive my earlier rudeness!"
Marco said, in a voice that was neither arrogant nor servile.He handed a black card with an intricate design to Family Head Francisco.
"What! T-This young Master Marco, isn't this the highest VIP card in your family casino? This black card entitles the holder to a variety of benefits, the most important of which is a 20 % discount!"
"How can you just give it away?"
The family head, Francisco, was taken aback by this gesture.He was also flattered.
As only first - class families can enjoy the VIP card of the Rotherford Family Casino, despite being merely a second-rate family, they can now enjoy the benefits of being a first-rate family!
"I didn't know that the young Master Marco would be this generous! Such a valuable VIP card.I'm envious.If I had such a card, I would be willing to give up a year of my lifespan!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
An elder said, with admiration in his eyes.
"A year? No, if it were me, I could give five years of my life! You might not know this, but the Rotherford family had limited the number of these VIP cards to seven.I also heard that a prominent family is
offering a dozen million dollars in exchange for this card! Now tell me if it's not worth it to exchange five years of your life for this black card!""
A middle-aged man rubbed his palms together.He was a businessman, so he could see the real value of the black card.He chuckled a little at the ignorance of others for not seeing its true value.
Later, he was sure to ask the family head, Francisco, if he would be willing to sell it! "Family Head Francisco, you don't have to worry about anything as my father intended to give you this black card."
Marco smiled amicably while glancing at Sheila Laurel.
"It was always my goal to marry Sheila.Unfortunately, she is being held back by a swine, and I would need that certain someone to come forward and shower us with his blessing!" Young Master Marco deliberately emphasized the word "certain someone"
while increasing the volume of his voice, so everyone could hear it.
A cold smirk slowly crawls across young master Marco's face.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
His sharp eyes gazed at the table where Sett was silently seated with his younger sister, and gradually everyone realized what Young Master Marco was implying.
At this point, the family head, Francisco, was frowning.
It wouldn't take a genius for one to understand what the young master Marco meant.
Clearly, he wanted to cancel the marriage between Ms.
Sheila Laurel and his grandson! But then again, he already knew it in advance.
It's just that he wanted to keep it secret, but he didn't expect that his shameful grandson would appear on his birthday.
Then who was the one who invited his grandson? For a brief moment, his face twitched at the sight of his daughter, Claire.It could only be her.
Although he was displeased with her conduct, he couldn't bear to punish her.He let out a sigh.It had already happened, so there was no mirth in mulling over it.
On the other hand, Sett took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in his heart.He looked briefly at young master Marco, then at his wife Sheila, who didn't even bother to look at him.
Sett smiled bitterly as he walked toward his grandfather first and bowed.
"Grandfather, I know you want me to cancel the marriage since you think I'm not suitable and a burden to the family, but I would like to talk to Sheila first.I want to know if it's really her intention."
"How dare you talk like that! Do you have the right to negotiate with your father? Who are you? You're just a loser.You couldn't achieve anything, what would you feed your children? And the home that you are staying in is not yours! Open your dogs' eyes.Can't you tell that Ms.Laurel had grown tired of you? Don't force yourself on someone that doesn't like you.Heck, you'll only bring shame to the Laurel family and the Crossword family.Just sign the divorce paper already!"
Madam Claire vehemently spoke she was not holding anything back at all.
Sett thought to himself, one day everyone will realize how wrong they are to call him, a loser...
"It doesn't matter what you guys say, I just want to know.If this is what Sheila wanted, and if she decides to leave me, then I won't say much."
Saying those words made Sett's heart crush into pieces.
Although his wife was quite cold to him and how she disappointed him, he honestly still had feelings for her, and if by chance she was in trouble, he would not hesitate to help her.He had always been willing to give her everything; if she wanted him to commit suicide, he had no qualms about doing so, but love can be one-sided at times.
"Very well, you can talk to her."
Francisco, the family's head, acknowledged it.
"But father!" Madam Claire complained.
"Shut up!""
Family head Francisco glared at her daughter, causing her to immediately close her mouth.
"Go ahead, you can talk to her.But you only have five minutes."
"Thank you, grandfather."
"It's too early for you to thank me."
The family head, Francisco, shrugged his shoulder.
Sett took a deep breath and began to stride forward, but he was obstructed by young Master Marco, who was glaring daggers at him.
"Move another step....."
Young Master Marco's word was stuck in his throat, as Sett completely ignored him as he strode past him and bumped into his shoulder.
"You!"
