The person who spoke was the eldest, Samuel.
“What are you two doing here?”
Just as Samuel’s words fell, his son Rex came in from outside the living room, “You don’t usually come back, why did you run so fast once you knew Grandpa Soto was going to distribute the family fortune?”
“Distribute the family property?”
Adriana frowned and couldn’t stop looking at Harlee, the look seemed to question Harlee.
Harlee shrugged and spread her hands, saying she knew nothing.
He only received a call from Old Mr. Soto to come over, but there was really no mention of the distribution of the family’s assets on the phone.
“Money makes the devil work, can it not come quickly?”
“That’s right. Neither of them, brother and sister, are fools.”
“If you ask me, they are the two people who contribute the least to the Soto family.”
“That’s true.”
…
When it comes to business, several uncles are cynical and sarcastic.
“This …”
Archie had just come over and needed to see Old Mr. Soto, but when he entered, he found the Soto family gathered in the living room.
Each individual looked serious, as if something was going on.
Archie was baffled and could not ask, but it was only because Adriana and Harlee appeared that Archie understood what was going on.
“Old Mr. Soto-san, it seems that I have indeed come at a bad time today, so I will not bother you for now.”
Archie stood up and smiled.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, you don’t have to ride with them.”
Old Mr. Soto waved his hand, “Hahahaha, I’m sorry to make you laugh.”
He stood up and said, “Mr. Alston might as well come into my study if he has something to say.” With that, he walked toward the stairs.
After walking but a few steps, he looked back at Adriana and Harlee and said with a sullen face, “What are you two doing standing there? Adriana go to pour tea, Harlee, you accompany Mr. Alston to talk.”
The three of them were asked to go to the study together, obviously to talk to them about something.
The three men followed without a word of caution.
“Grandpa, what do you mean? My dad and uncles are here, why are you leaving? Aren’t you going to divide the family fortune?”
Rex, dressed in Chinese clothes, wore makeup, dressed in a demon, although very handsome, but through a few women’s feminine sense.
When I first met Rex, he was wearing Chinese clothes, and now in the middle of winter, he is still wearing a tight black brocade coat, the waist is tied with a gold silk hooked belt, the side is draped with gold tassels, very good-looking.
Just … is not cold?
“Divide the family property? Dividing family property? All you think about every day is the family property. Take a look at your current appearance, go back and look at yourself in the mirror, every day you are acting in a bad way, the Soto family’s face has been disgraced by you, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about family property!”
Old Mr. Soto was on fire and pointed at Rex and chided him.
“Who is not Yin and Yang? Old Mr. Soto, I’m telling you, you’re favoring Harlee and Adriana, but they’re not taking a dime of the Soto family’s property!”
Rex was also irritated by Old Mr. Soto and said something out of character.
“Shut the hell up!”
The eldest Samuel saw his son so indisputable and could not help but follow the annoyance.
Getting up and walking over to him, he reprimanded, “That’s your grandfather, how can you talk to your grandfather?”
Although the property is to be distributed, the Soto family power is still in the hands of Old Mr. Soto, and it is definitely not wise to anger the old man now.
“Who am I to stop talking? Don’t think I don’t know who Adriana and Harlee are. The two of them are not even from the Soto family, so who are they to steal the family fortune from me?”
On impulse, he accidentally told those untold secrets.
“Not from the Soto family?”
“Rex, what are you talking about?”
“Anger is anger, but there are still some things you can’t talk nonsense about.”
“Isn’t it.”
…
The uncles sitting in the living room didn’t think anything of it, just dismissed it as Rex’s angry nonsense.
Instead, Archie, who was standing over there, tensed up. He glanced sideways at Adriana and Harlee, but found the two siblings looking at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.
Those two are his children, who are now so grown up.
He was very relieved.
“Sinner, sinner!”
Old Mr. Soto’s brow knitted, shaking with anger, and pointed at Rex angrily, “Get out, get out, get out!”
Slanting the ground demolished roared, the whole face rose red.
“Why should I get out? This is the Soto family, it’s my home, you tell me to get lost.”
Harlee crossed her arms and spat at the ground, “Bah, you old man, how old are you? Sooner or later, the Soto family will have my father take over. You … ah …”
Halfway through a sentence, Samuel raised his hand and slapped him across the face, “Shut up!”
A slap, the force is very heavy and heavy, directly to his cheek to the corner of the lip a blood stain.
“Dad, what are you hitting me for?”
Rex stomped his feet in anger and glared across the table, “Didn’t you tell me all these things, and now you’re hitting me. Are you just like that old man, you are also biased towards Harlee and Adriana?”
“You, you, you …”
Samuel was momentarily speechless, pointing angrily at Rex, glaring at him, and glancing now and then at Old Mr. Soto, who was standing aside, his heart thumping.
Secretly, he cursed Rex for his stupidity and ignorance.
“Get the hell out of here, you stupid bastard.”
The ultimate heartache Rex, just a symbolic kick, scolded, let him get out.
Rex heart aggrieved, feel that everyone is aimed at him, grunting a stomp, turned around and ran out.
Silence returned to the large living room, all silent, each with his or her own thoughts.
“Brother, what did Rex’s words mean just now?”
“Yeah, what’s not the Soto family? What the hell is going on?”
“Big brother, is there something you’re hiding from us brothers?”
……
Several brothers of the Soto family looked at Samuel with great perplexity, waiting for his answer.
Now, Samuel was embarrassed and became a target, which was quite embarrassing.
