Old Master Burton also said, “That’s right. Alex, you must be tired from rushing over. Go in first…”
The Burton family wanted to get Alex into the house. As the saying goes, don’t air dirty laundry in public. First, invite Alex in. No matter how ugly it was behind closed doors, only they knew. They wouldn’t be laughed at by outsiders.
However, Alex didn’t listen to them. Instead, he looked at Amelia. “Daughter, do you want to go in?
Without waiting for Amelia to answer, Old Madam Burton quickly said, “Mia, right? Let’s go in first, okay? Great-Grandma has prepared a delicious cake for you. There are many fun toys inside…”
Amelia shook her head. “I don’t want your cake or your toys.” Although she liked to eat cake, not everyone ate cake. Did this old Grandma really treat her like an insensible child?
Old Madam Burton was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. Just now, she wished she could chase Amelia away. Now, she wished she could beg Amelia to quickly enter, but Amelia still didn’t enter! If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have been so fierce just now…
Alex said, “If my daughter doesn’t go in, I won’t go in either. Ryan, go and get my grandfather’s plaque of glory back.”
Ryan Harvey was Alex’s subordinate. He was sent by the higher-ups to supervise Alex so that he wouldn’t be too free and reckless. However, was this something a subordinate like him could supervise?
Ryan sighed to himself and agreed. Then, he quickly walked in to pick up the plaque. Putting everything else aside, this hero plaque was indeed not suitable to be placed in the Burton residence. This was tarnishing the hero!
Old Master Burton and Old Madam Burton didn’t expect Alex to take back the plaque! They had relied on the merits brought by this plaque of glory to get to where they were today. What would they do if Alex took away the plaque?
Old Madam Burton hurriedly followed Ryan in. Old Master Burton looked at Alex and said anxiously, “Alex, you’re going too far.”
It was unknown which immoral person actually echoed Old Master Burton’s words in a low voice. “That’s right. Isn’t this too calculative? It’s been so long since the incident back then. How can there be vengeance between relatives? Helping is a favor, but not helping is a duty. Even if the Burton family didn’t help you back then, you’re already the chief now. There’s no need to be so ruthless, right?”
When Amelia heard this, she found it a little strange. What relationship? Her father was only taking back what belonged to him. Wasn’t this what he should do?
Alex raised his eyebrows and smiled arrogantly. “There are even more extreme things. Don’t be anxious.” He looked around and said coldly, “I, Alex, have never been a magnanimous person. If they didn’t help me when I was in trouble, then don’t blame me for not caring about them after I became rich. If I help them, it is out of kindness, not out of duty. In addition, this plaque is my grandfather’s merit. As his immediate family, isn’t it normal for me to take back what belongs to my grandfather? I’m here. What right does the Burton family have to take my grandfather’s merit?” He only took back the plaque. He didn’t even ask the Burton family to spit out what they had relied on the plaque to obtain over the years. He felt that he was already very magnanimous.
The person who was muttering just now suddenly stopped talking.
Ryan carried the plaque out. Old Madam Burton followed closely behind him, wishing she could snatch the plaque back.
Alex looked around expressionlessly. “Let me make myself clear today. I, Alex Burton, have nothing to do with the Burton family in Buffalo. If the Burton family dares to use my name or my grandfather’s name to swindle others, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Amelia nodded heavily in agreement. “Yes, impolite!” With that, she grinned, revealing her two canine teeth in a fierce manner.
Alex smiled. He carried Amelia in one arm and threw his grandfather’s merit plaque into the car in the other. Then, he gently placed Amelia in the front passenger seat. His dark eyes were filled with smiles. “Sit tight, daughter.
Daddy will bring you home.”
George, who had been watching coldly from the side, suddenly came back to his senses. No, this man wanted to take Mia away without saying a word?
“Wait!” George chased after him, but the arrogant SUV knocked down the crumbling iron door of the Burton family with a clang and disappeared into the night.
George:
Ryan opened his mouth.. Master, have you forgotten something? He hasn’t even gotten into the car yet!
