Carlisle did a simple sweep throughout the house and began his revision.


    Gordon brought Gérard and his family home at around 7:00pm.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Carl, your uncle is here. Come out and pour some sses of water for them!” Gordon said with a


    smile. as he turned toward Carlisle’s room.

    “Gerard, Maria,” Hilda greeted them as she poked her head out of the kitchen.


    They nodded impassively, whereas their two teenage children didn’t even spare Hilda a nce.


    Gerard was wearing a white T–shirt. He held a Samsung flip phone in his right hand and wore a


    Vacheron Constantin’s watch of thetest model on his left hand.


    “Gordon, you could afford a Santana worth 200 thousand dors, but you couldn’t afford a better


    house?”


    Maria Davidson, Gerard’s wife, asked.


    There was a thickyer of foundation coating her 38–year–old face. She was a sharp–tongued woman


    who only cared about her interests.


    “We bought this house so that it’ll be easier for Carl to go to school. I intend to sell this house once Carl


    heads off to university!” Gordon exined.


    “Wait a minute. Why hasn’t Carlislee out yet?”


    Maria waved her hands for some wind as she looked around the house. Then, she said in disgust,


    “Why didn’t you install an aircon? Aren’t you all being overly frugal?”


    Gordon quickly brought out the standing fan from his bedroom. Meanwhile, Carlisle slowly made his


    way out of his room to pour them four sses of water.


    “Carl, do you not recognize me?” Gerard asked with a frown.


    “I do!”


    Oh. Then, who am I? Gerard asked impassively.


    “You’re Uncle Gerard!”


    “Then why didn’t you greet me and your aunt?” Gerard asked with a tinge of anger.


    Maria also said mockingly, “Where did all those years of education go?”


    Suddenly, Hilda mmed her knife on the cutting board, causing the sound to echo throughout the


    house.


    Gerard also red at his wife,


    But Maria didn’t seem to realize her mistake as she turned to look at Gordon, who was taking out the


    extensions from his room.


    Maria said, “A father’s responsibility is to educate their children. But it seems like you didn’t educate


    your


    son properly.”


    Gordon chuckled dryly. Tll discipline himter!”


    “Did yo “Did you


    you educate your children properly? Did Kelly and Xander greet my parents?” Carlisle asked calmly as


    he brought the sses of water over.


    “You brat, are you trying to talk back to me?” Maria said furiously.


    “I don’t dare to do such a thing. I’m just stating a fact. Aren’t your children receiving special education


    the city? Why are they so rude then?” Carlisle did not hold back.


    his past life, Gerard and his family had not held back in humiliating him and his parents for not getting


    admitted into college.


    His father had knelt and begged his uncle to lend them money when he fell sick in his past life. Not only


    did Gerard not lend them the money, but he had also beaten his father up.


    Gerard also insulted them by iming that Carlisle had lived long enough and deserved to die.


    Such familial bonds were as good as none.


    “Are you joking with me? Do you believe you deserve to bepared to my children? My daughter is


    at the top of her ss. It’s only a matter of time before she’s admitted to Rivend University.


    “What about you? From what I’ve heard from your father, your results are trash. It might be hard for you


    to enter a Tier 3 university. People like you are what holds us as a society back!”


    Maria was so angry that her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.


    Gordon’s eyes shed with anger as he listened to Maria’s belittling words.


    At that moment, Hilda came out of the kitchen. Her voice was cold as she said, “Maria, you’re a guest


    in our house, so we’ll wee you wholeheartedly. But if youe here to fight, we’ll have no choice


    but to kick you out!”


    Hilda could ept Gerard and Maria belittling them. The differences between families were evident


    after


    all.


    But she could not ept them mocking her son.


    Maria watched as Hilda yed with the knife in her hands and gulped subconsciously.


    Gerard waved his hands dismissively and said, “That’s enough. Everyone should just keep their words


    to themselves. Don’t affect the children here!”


    “Don’t me me for crossing the line if you continue to belittle my son,” Hilda said as she returned to


    the


    kitchen.


    Maria was so angry that her breath becamebored.


    Gerard patted her arm and lowered his voice. “It’s not like you don’t know that they’re uncultured.


    What’s the point in arguing with them?”


    Maria feltforted as she sat on the sofa and enjoyed the wind from the fan.


    Carlisle was in his room when he heard his mother’s warm words.


    He smiled in amusement. He had not said anything in his past life, so Maria had never crossed the line.


    He didn’t expect Maria to be so cruel with his words after he stood up for himself. He also did not


    expect


    his mom to protect him so fiercely.


    The two families sat together for dinner at around 8:00pm.


    Maria was much quieter than before.


    The atmosphere was also tense.


    “Kelly, have you also submitted your applications for Rivend University?” Gordon asked his niece


    with a


    smile.


    Kelly Zahn seemed confused. “What do you mean by ‘also? Are you telling me Carlisle has also


    applied


    for Rivend University?”


    Gordon nodded. “That’s right. It was the only school he had applied to!”


    Kelly immediately burst intoughter.


    Gordon’s face flushed red as he asked, “What’s wrong? Do you also look down on your cousin?”


    Kelly couldn’t help butugh as he said, “Uncle Gordon, it’s rare for people outside of the city to be


    admitted into Rivend University.


    “Also, when has Carlisle ever had a decent grade for his year? He’s never dared to tell us his results.


    Yet he had the guts to only apply for Rivend University. It’s hard for me to understand his train of


    thought!”


    In other words, she also looked down on Carlisle.


    However, Gordon and Hilda did not know how to refute Kelly as they knew she was stating facts.


    Maria was delighted as she looked at Gordon and Hilda’s expressions. She then said sarcastically,


    “Kelly, stop mocking Carlisle. They might end up kicking us out!”


    Xander Zahn, a newbie junior in high school, mmed his spoon on the table and said, “Let them kick


    us out then. These dishes are horrible. I won’t be missing anything if we leave!”


    Hilda’s grip around her fork tightened. She was about to say something when Gordon gave her a


    warning


    look.


    So, she had no choice but to swallow her indignance for the sake of Gordon’s pride.


    Carlisle ate the food and said, “You’ll find a hotel if you turn left downstairs. I suggest you head over


    there


    to eat!”


    Gerard chuckled coldly. “Your dad hasn’t even said a word, yet here you are chasing us out?”


    Carlisle sighed in exasperation. “Uncle Gerard, do you think there’s any point in sitting together for


    dinner?


    You’re just here to gloat because you’ve earned a small fortune in the county. Am I wrong?”


    Gerard froze when he heard Carlisle’s words.


    He didn’t even tell Gordon about it yet. How did that brat, Carlisle, find out about his small earned


    fortune?


    He did earn a small fortune.


    His original n was toe here and belittle Gordon. But he decided to keep his fortune a secret


    when he saw Gordoning to pick him up in a Santana.


    He had nned to investigate Gordon’s financial situation thoroughly before telling them abou


    fortune.


    Gordon saw the shock in Gerard’s eyes and quickly got up to pour Gerard a cup of beer. Gordon


    smiled and asked, “Gerard, did you earn some money recently?”
