âHaylan, sheâs your grandmother,â Harry angrily rebuked. âHow can you say that? You have no manners and upbringing!
âSuch trash breeds a trashy son! Haylan, how dare a piece of trash like you speak in front of us nobles?â
Marilyn sneered and said domineeringly, âHow dare a person like you, who washes dishes, does menial labor, and sells your body overseas, speak to your grandmother like this? How improper!
âSlap yourself in the face and apologize to your grandmother immediately!â
âShut up!â Haylan said, glaring at them coldly.
This time around, he was furious.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife and as ferocious as a dragon.
With just a glance, Marilyn and Harry were scared out of their wits.
They had lived for so long, but this was the first time they saw such a terrifying gaze.
It was cold and heartless. It was as cold as the edge of a blade. It was as if a ferocious dragon was looking down at them from the sky.
They felt like ants in front of Haylan. They felt like they could be trampled to death by Haylan at any moment.
They kept quiet out of fear, not daring to say a word.
It was only then that Haylan directed his gaze back to Mrs. Labenz and said coldly, âGrandma, youâre really not worthy of being a mother!â
âWhat did you say? Mrs. Labenz said angrily.
Haylan sneered and said in a deep voice. âYou favor boys over girls and are superstitious. Just because of a few words from an astrologer, you attributed all the misfortunes to my mother, claiming that she brought you bad luck.
âHave you ever thought that itâs your fault?
âMy mom found some money and bought some food to eat. She didnât have diarrhea, but you guys have diarrhea after eating it. Didnât you guys think that you ate something else that day that caused you to have diarrhea?
âMy mom scoring a perfect score on an exam and your family business declining have absolutely no connection whatsoever.
âHow does my mom receiving an acceptance letter related to all of you getting a severe cold?
âTo put it bluntly, you guys have preconceived notions. You believe in the words of the astrologer, thinking that it was my mom who brought you misfortune.
âThe fact is that all the misfortunes youâve experienced are your own business. They have nothing to do with my mother. âYou look down on my mother and think that she is very poor and canât afford expensive gifts, so you threw my motherâs gift away. However, do you know how much this emerald pendant is worth?â
As he spoke, he lifted the emerald pendant in his hand and said coldly, âEven if I were to sell every single one of you in the Labenz family, the price still wouldnât compare to the astronomical value of this emerald pendant!â
âHaha, itâs just a broken stone and a fake,â Mrs. Labenz sneered and said. âHow much could it be worth?â
âUm, Mr. Jaber, can I see it?â
At this moment, a white-bearded old man walked out from the crowd. His eyes were filled with excitement. Haylan immediately handed it to him.
The white-bearded old man looked as if he had obtained a treasure. He carefully took it and examined it closely.
âFrankie Norton, professional appraiser. Why is he here?â
âFrankieâs appraisal skills are top-notch in Longhard Kingdom. He has never misjudged the value of an item before. Haylan holds his guy in high regard. Heâs going to make a fool out of himself?â
âThatâs right. Itâs just a broken stone. How dare he claim that it is of astronomical value? He truly has no idea what heâs talking about.â
Upon seeing Frankieâs actions, the members of the Labenz family began to discuss among themselves. Their eyes were filled with mockery and ridicule as they looked at Haylan. It was as if they already saw Haylan making a complete fool out of himself.
Mrs. Labenz sneered and said with disdain, âMr. Norton, appraise it. How much is this fake worth?â
âMr. Norton, donât feel obliged to show us respect,â Marilyn said coldly. âBoldly speak up and embarrass this loser.
