“June, I’m doing it for the sake of the family. We can’t know when your father will wake up, so his team can’t stay in vain. The negotiation with the Group of Pinnacle was about our future, so to be on the safe side, we must gather all the resources we have.” Marcy Brown looked serious.
Aimee Brown found it an opportunity to humiliate June, so she echoed. “I agree. June, at this time, you shouldn’t be too selfish. For our family, you should make some sacrifices.”
Aimee had been slapped by Robin and June yesterday, so she would do anything disadvantageous to them.
If it were not that Van disagreed, she would have to look for someone in the underground to give them a lesson.
Other members agreed as well because doing this, on the one hand, could befriend to Carl, who would be the next head of the family, and on the other hand, could kick John’s family out of the core-level of Brown’s Family, so that they could get more shares.
Their ruthless words fell into June’s ears. In this conference room, no one stood by June’s side.
June’s body shook with fury. She had never thought that one day, she would be forced such ruthless.
Even these people who were forcing her were her relatives.
June looked at Marcus, who was the only able to help her.
But Marcus’s word made her felt colder.
“Let John stay in the hospital to have a good rest.” Obviously, he supported Marcy, too!
June looked pale. Marcus’s word was the death sentence for John, which meant their little family had no hope at all.
“That’s all for today. The meeting is over.” Marcus got up slowly and left the conference room.
Marcy got up, too. He walked to June, looking at her with complacency. “June Brown, do you dare to be against me again?”
“Shameless!” June was clenching her teeth, eyes red with fury.
“Haha, shameless?” So what? Didn’t you see that even grandfather stood by me, the shameless guy?” Marcy laughed. In Brown’s Family, Marcus was the god that no one dared to question his decision even though it was wrong!
“Hum, you’d better go home and deliver food with your useless husband. That’s what you should do.” Marcy sneered, then left, humming.
The conference room empty, June couldn’t help sobbing on the table.
In the evening, Robin went home early. He put the rice into the steamer, and then prepared to pick up June.
But when he opened the door, he found June standing at the door.
“Why are you back so early today?” Robin asked.
June didn’t answer. Looking at her for a while, Robin found something wrong.
With a smell of wine on her body, June’s eyes were red.
Did she drink? Robin frowned. June hadn’t drunk at all since they got married three years ago. Why did she drink so much today?
June entered in a daze and then sat on the sofa.
When Robin worried and was about to ask, Lareina came out from her bedroom.
“My dear daughter, what’s the matter?”
Seeing Lareina, June couldn’t help but hug her, crying.
“Honey, who made you so wronged? Tell me. Was that bastard Robin Zhou?” Lareina subconsciously thought it was Robin who made June angry.
June shook her head, crying. “sobbing, mom, I’m sorry for dad.”
“Dad? What’s the matter?”
June told the matter with a face full of grievances. Then Lareina was furious.
“Bastards! I’ll look for them. Your father is in a coma, not dead. How can they bully us so much?” Lareina was madly furious. Their family was already in financial difficulties. If the engineering team was lost, they would live on air.”
Robin’s face was terrible, as well. John worked so hard for Brown’s Family. He should be given credit for hard work, if not for merit. Now he was just in a coma for an accident, but those people were in a hurry to get the resource from his hands, which was incredibly shameless!
But Robin also knew that it would only be humiliating to argue with Marcy now. No one dared to question Marcus’s decision.
So Robin persuaded. “Mom, calm down first. This matter…”
“Calm down? How can I calm down?” Lareina turned around and glared at Robin. “If it wasn’t for your uselessness, how can they treat us like this?”
“Mom, don’t blame Robin. It was because of my uselessness.” June shook her head, sobbing.
“Don’t blame him? Who should I blame? If it weren’t this coward whose work is delivering food, a shame for Brown’s Family, your grandfather wouldn’t have been dissatisfied with your father. And today’s matter would never have happened!”
“It’s all because of him! If this coward were capable even a little, you wouldn’t have suffered such a lot!”
Lareina’s tone was full of disgust for Robin, but June was just crying.
“June, mom is right. It’s because of my uselessness. I’ll give you a result.” Robin took a deep breath and then said calmly. He didn’t blame Lareina because Lareina wasn’t wrong. It was indeed because of him that Marcus didn’t take John seriously.
He was the only one who should be blamed, for he was disappointing!
And, Marcy! He was looking for death! It was OK to humiliate Robin himself, but it was acceptable to bully June!
Robin pushed the door to leave, dialing Ben Zhou’s phone.
“Who’s in charge of the Spring Hill project?” Robin asked with anger.
As if feeling Robin’s anger, Ben hurriedly said. “Young master, it’s Cheney Lin, our man.”
“Tell Cheney Lin that tomorrow some people from Brown’s Family will talk to him about cooperation. I want to see them come out with pain!”
“Yes, young master.” Ben hurriedly nodded. How did those people offend Robin to make him such angry?”
Robin hung up the phone, clenching his fist. Did Brown’s Family want to participate in the project? Did they want to be dominant in City C again? It was making a dream!
The next morning, dressed formally, Carl and Marcy rushed to the Group of Pinnacle.
They felt nervous, for they had heard that many people even hadn’t seen the manager of the Group of Pinnacle, not to mention cooperation.
So it was still a question whether they should see the manager.
However, just when they arrived and said out the name of Brown’s Family, the receptionist asked someone to lead them in.
They couldn’t calm down until they entered the elevator. The manager of the Group of Pinnacle, who had refused hundreds of companies, was willing to see them!
