Sylvia watched the intense atmosphere between the two, and didn’t dare to interfere casually. It seemed like they had some conflict, and it was erupting now.
After hesitating for a moment, Sylvia spoke up, “Brother, the sister-in-law is angry. Why are you picking a fight with her? Girls just need a little cajoling, you know.”
“Let her cool off,” Quentin said lightly. He could go and coax her, but who would coax him!
In the hospital, Russell lay on the bed, surrounded by a group of people.
He slowly opened his eyes, looking a bit pale and weak.
“Dad, you’re awake?” Maverick’s face lit up as he saw Russell waking up.
“It’s you guys who are good to me,” Russell sighed softly. “Unlike those ungrateful bunch from the Emery’s family, who got me so angry that I ended up in the hospital.”
“What a bunch of ingrates!”
As he said this, he felt a tightness in his chest, and then began to cough violently…
“Calm down!”
“You need to calm down!”
“That ungrateful bunch didn’t deserve to make you this furious!”
The crowd consoled him one after another.
Berating Emery and his family loudly.
“Dad, don’t get mad. Master Merrill said it might be a misjudgment,” Maverick said.
“Really?” Russell’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard this.
“Yes,” at this moment, Frank also walked into the ward from outside, “Grandpa, there’s no need to be angry anymore. It was just a mistake by Master Merrill.”
“Besides, Quentin, that poor guy, can he afford it?”
Even if, in the most extreme case, Quentin could afford it, he wouldn’t be willing to part with something so valuable, so the answer was obvious!
“Mr. Duncan!” When he saw Frank coming over, Russell immediately sat up from the bed.
With these words, he felt a lot more reassured.
Otherwise, being immersed in this sorrow, sooner or later, he would be killed by his own actions today.
After all, a priceless antique worth hundreds of millions was dropped by him. How could he not hate that?
“Grandpa, just focus on getting better. Leave the rest to us,” Nikolas said. “That thing is a fake, don’t worry about it.”
Russell nodded slightly and said, “It was really embarrassing yesterday, turning a good birthday banquet into such a mess, all because of Quentin and Charlotte, making a scene out of this good day.”
He felt so much resentment inside!
Frank’s expression gradually darkened. “Mr. Pittman, you haven’t fulfilled your promise yet. What should we do next? I’ve warned you…”
“I, the Duncan family, have the ability to support you, the Pittman family, but I also have the ability to bring you down.”
“I hope Mr. Pittman can settle this matter for me. I don’t have the patience to play with her anymore.”
He didn’t want to play the deep affection game now.
Confessing and proposing passionately at the birthday banquet and being flatly rejected! This matter probably has spread throughout the entire high society of Stresall, hasn’t it?
He, Mr. Duncan, had become a laughingstock.
So, he only felt resentment in his heart now!
Listening to his words, Russell broke out in a cold sweat, and the people from the Pittman family around him were all silent, the atmosphere becoming tense.
They didn’t want to return to the days of poverty!
Those hard days from a few days ago were too bitter, and they didn’t want to experience them for a moment.
Russell’s face turned terribly dark, his eyes flickering a few times, gritting his teeth, “Rest assured, Mr. Duncan, we will definitely force Charlotte to comply.”
“I’ve heard that line quite a few times before,” Frank said coldly.
“This time is different. I still have a trick up my sleeve; I can definitely get a hold of her. I don’t believe that I can’t keep her in check!”
Russell sneered, “You know, she has two kids…”
Nikolas was stunned, showing a look of astonishment, “Grandpa, are you referring to…”
