Chapter 98

Unlike Henry, Timothy appeared to behave more like a mature man. “Well, there is nothing to be nervous about, actually. If we can close the deal successfully, we’re going to build our own company when we secure our capital. So, think about it. You’re going to be a big shot too, someday. It’s just that you’re taking your first step to getting there.”

Upon hearing that, Henry was amused by Timothy’s reply. “That’s some encouraging words. What a strong and positive mindset you have there!”

While Timothy chuckled in response, the two students continued to chat happily and walked toward the gate, where they were greeted by two unexpected figures that made the smile on Timothy’s face disappear.

Sophia shouted, “Grandma, Timothy is right there!”

Amber looked in the direction Sophia told her to and saw Timothy. In that instant, she felt an overwhelming rage surging through as she approached the two young men intimidatingly and bellowed at them.

“Finally, you b*stard! Here you are!”

While Timothy reacted with a pair of glacial eyes, Henry frowned and asked with a soft voice, “Who is this? Why can’t she talk nicely?”

Timothy didn’t answer his friend’s question, only staring at the two ladies with a nonchalant expression.

“What are you both doing here?”

Amber’s anger got the better of her, prompting her to lash out like a madwoman with a jarring screech.

“How dare you ask that question, b*stard?! You and your b*tch sister plotted against your father together and put him in jail, yet you’re asking me what we’re doing here?! Do you really think you can disrespect your elderly now just because you’re already a grown-up? I’m warning you now! Tell your sister, Tessa, to release your father at once!”

Despite her old age, Amber tried to dominate the encounter with her feisty nature. After a few harsh and cold reprimands, her voice drew everyone else’s attention around them.

Nonetheless, Timothy wasn’t afraid of all the intimidating gazes. Instead, he chuckled and talked back.

“Is there something you misunderstood, Grandma? Silas only had himself to blame for how he ended up, and he deserves it! Anyway, I think you have come to the wrong place if you want them to be released. Talk to the cops because talking to me isn’t going to change anything. I’m busy right now, so I don’t have time to play your game. If I were you, I would turn around and walk away before things turn ugly here!” Timothy ignored the ladies and turned around, leaving them behind.

Nonetheless, Timothy’s response instantly pissed Sophia off, urging her to start rebuking him as well.

“Where is your conscience, Timothy?! It’s your father we’re talking about. How can you say something so heartless? Aren’t you afraid of karma at all?!”

Timothy felt as if he had just heard a joke upon listening to Sophia’s words, sniggering and replying to the latter sarcastically. “Karma?! You guys weren’t afraid of that when you did what you did, so why should I be?”

“How dare you, Timothy!” Sophia felt her rage surging through her.

However, Timothy eventually ran out of patience and barked coldly with a glacial expression on his face, “Sophia, I don’t have a father! My sister is the only family member I ever have, so stop trying to warm up to me like we’re a family! Because that disgusts me!”

“You! You son of a b*tch!” Amber’s wrath consumed her rationality as she squinted at Timothy. Then, she screamed at the top of her voice like a strangled hen.

“Ah! You wicked little b*stard! How dare you say something like this! If I had known that was how you’d behave, I would have strangled you to death right after you were born! I’m going to kill you right now, you motherf*cker!” The old lady charged at the unsuspecting security guard and snatched the baton from his belt when the latter was unaware of her intention. Then, she raised the baton in the air, ready to strike Timothy.

While the security guard, who was caught by surprise, was going to stop the old lady, Amber’s arm was already swinging in mid-air. Despite her old age, she was still strong enough to generate a powerful swing that packed a punch. In the meantime, Timothy was shocked by the old lady’s outburst and tried to dodge her attack, but he staggered and nearly fell down to the ground because of his impaired mobility.

Meanwhile, Henry didn’t expect an outburst from an old lady at such an age. The next moment, he immediately stood in front of Timothy to protect him and angrily berated Amber.

“Stop! What’s wrong with you, old lady?! Why are you getting physical here? Now, I don’t want to put an old lady like you into trouble, so you’d better stop what you’re doing, or I’m going to call the cops!”
