Chapter 78
âNot only that, but try asking your own conscience, Nancy. Ask yourself just how much profit Iâve given
to Spritz Group these past two years to make up for Victoriaâs mistake. No matter how you slice it, it is
the Coleman Family that is holding the short end of the stick!â
Hearing that, Denise recalled the way they had been living for the past two years. Tears continued to
run down her cheeks when she did.
Then, Glen pointed at the door. âNot only do you show no appreciation whatsoever for how much weâve
given your family, but you also stand here and say that you have grievances with our family. Fine, then
bring those two children with you and get out of this house. From now on, our families will have nothing
to do with each other!â
Since Glen had been docile and submissive for the past two years, Nancy was stunned, as she hadnât
expected him to be determined in cutting off their relations so abruptly.
âDad, you finally look like a proper man now!â Vincentâs anger seemed to have finally subsided slightly.
Gesturing toward the door with his face, he bellowed, âDid neither of you hear what he said? He told
you to get lost!â
Nancy came back to her senses, her face as red as a tomato as she tried to leave with both Lucas and
Bella in tow.
However, Bella easily stopped her mother from doing so. âMom, calm down.â
Lucas bore a fierce expression but didnât refute his sister as well.
âMr. Glen, if youâve really wanted to sever ties with our family, you wouldnât have waited until now to do
so, am I right? So I dare say that you only wanted to let us know just how hard it was for you these past
two years and hoped that we would understand by saying all the things you said,â Bella said gently.
Staying silent, Glen only took the pill that his wife handed to him and swallowed it.
However, Vincent was happy as he said mockingly, âA scheming wench truly has a rich imagination!
But, Iâm sorry to say that our family is serious about breaking off all relations with your shameless
family!â
As Vincentâs words were unpleasant to the ears, Lucas frowned and was about to retort but was
stopped by Bella. She gave him an implied expression that seemed to advise him not to speak for now
before she continued, âMr. Glen, itâs true that my motherâs actions today have crossed the line. For that,
Iâll apologize in her stead.â
Nevertheless, as Nancy felt that it wasnât her fault, she wanted to speak up, but Lucas stopped her
from doing so. âMom, leave the rest to Bella. Just stay quiet.â
âWho the hell would accept your apology?â Due to what had happened with Victoria, Vincent disliked
the Spritz Family. âGet lost! Take your mother and brother out of this house! Our family does not
welcome animals like you here!â
Lucasâ frown grew deeper as a hint of gloom flickered in his eyes.
Seemingly to have not heard what Vincent said, Bella continued sincerely with her eyes on Glen, âOur
familiesâ friendship has lasted for more than decades now. Should it be broken off due to such trivial
matters, the public will look at us as a joke. Not only that, you should know that our companiesâ
business is intricate as well. If you dissolve our partnership, Iâm afraid that both our companies will
sustain heavy losses.â
âAs I was furious just now, I have been speaking without giving much thought.â Glen went along with
the path Bella had laid down for him. âIf you were not here today and our familiesâ relations were
broken off due to what Iâve said in a fit of anger, then I would have made an irreparable mistake.â
Vincentâs jaw dropped slightly with his eyes lit up in surprise and anger, as he couldnât understand how
the situation turned out this way.
âI donât blame you, Mr. Glen. My mother was indeed a tad capricious here. By the way, Iâve heard that
you have given the piece of land in Glogan to Christian. It just so happens that our family has a piece of
land there as well and has plans to build a large amusement park on it. However, there are some
issues in securing the capital, so I was wondering if you would be interested in securing a share of the
project?â Bella asked with a smile.
As Coleman Group had worked together with Spritz Group all these years, Glen was very clear that the
latter had no problems securing the capital for the project. Since the return on the investment in
Gloganâs amusement park was projected to be extremely high and there were no problems with
securing the capital for the project, it was obvious to him that Bella had asked as a gesture of goodwill
for what happened just now.
âSince youâve said that much, the others will think that Iâm throwing my weight around at the younger
generation if I decline your offer here.â Glen sighed. âHow about this, tell the person in charge of the
project to come and meet me in Coleman Group at ten oâclock in the morning tomorrow. Weâll properly
discuss it and how much I would need to make up for the deficit.â
Bella smiled. âThen, I thank you in Spritz Groupâs stead, Mr. Glen.â
âIâm just doing my part. You donât have to be so polite with me.â
Despite the ashtrays, vases, cups, and ornaments fragments that Nancy smashed earlier still all over
the floor, there were now signs of joy for certain parties in the room. Regardless, the maids made eye
contact with one another before they methodically cleaned up the messy floor.
âMr. Vincent, do you still want this tie?â one of the maids asked cautiously with the tie Vincent had
thrown to the ground in hand.
âWhy would I?!â Vincent snatched the tie from the maid and wanted to rip it apart. Failing to do so, he
threw it hard to the ground once more. In the fearful eyes of the maids, every word coming out of his
mouth was just insults after insults about his father as Vincent glared at him.
Stewed in both shame and anger, Glen said, âApologize to Nancy, Bella, and Lucas!â
âKiss my *ss! I would rather eat sh*t than apologize to them!â Vincent took off his suit jacket and flung it
to the ground before he stomped on it several times. Then, he took big strides toward the door.
With his body trembling in anger, Glen pointed at Vincent and yelled, âIf you leave that door today,
youâll be prohibited from coming back to this family, just like Victoria!â
âI wonât come back to this disgusting place even if you begged me!â Vincent continued to walk out
without sparing a second glance at him. Although the three members of the Spritz Family were
standing by the door, both Lucas and Nancy couldnât react in time when he yanked the wheelchair and
kicked it away. He felt as though he was about to explode from the anger in him.
âY-Y-You!â Nancy was so incensed that she couldnât get her words out of her throat as she quickly
chased after Bella, who had her wheelchair rolling toward the center of the living room. âBella, donât be
afraid. Iâm coming for you!â
Then, Vincent walked up to the gloomy Lucas and grabbed his collar with both his hands. âBack then,
you were like some dog, following my sister around all day long and asking for her love. But you
immediately turned tail and ran the moment sh*t hit the fan. What a fine f*cking man you are!â
âYouâd better watch what youâre saying!â With a cold expression, Lucas pushed Vincent away.
âPah!â Vincent spat on the ground and gave a sardonic smile. âIâm warning you now. If I ever see your
face in the future, youâd better turn around and go the other way, or Iâm gonna beat you up!â Having
said that, he left the house while Glen continued to yell in anger at him.
Victoria hadnât expected Janice would drag Matthew to come to the hospital to visit her. Strictly
speaking, their relationship right now was no more than a stranger, as they had only met each other
four times before this.
âYour lips are cracked. Here, have some dragon fruit!â
âYou donât look so good. Are you not feeling well or are you worried about your brother? If itâs the latter,
then you donât have to worry since my mentor has already dropped the lawsuit. Hehe.â
âHowâs the dragon fruit? It tastes good, doesnât it? Iâll buy more for you next time!â
Janice was just like a machine gun as she kept firing question after question at Victoria. Despite
nobody answering her questions, she managed to keep the conversation going. If either Victoria or
Matthew did reply out of courtesy, even if they had only given a one-wonovelxo.com fast updaterd
reply, she would use their reply as a basis to carry on talking for another ten minutes
