Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Clarence, how could you talk to Father like that? Kneel down and apologize to him now!” Kaysen sneered.
‘Clarence is obviously a loser. Why does he insist on trying to stand out?
‘One should have self-awareness. He should know that it’s good for him to know himself better.’
Kaysen grew increasingly displeased with Clarence.
Besides, Clarence had repeatedly talked back to him. He had even broken the statue of Mother Mary given to Peony, hence exposing the truth about the fake statue.
Although Peony did not bring up the issue ever since then, she already had a poor impression of him.
“Father, am I wrong about this? Aren’t you biased?” Clarence argued his case.
“Clarence, I’m not being biased. You should clearly know that you are only a loser, okay?
“Look at Kaysen and George, they handle their companies well. What about you?
“Miranda is the one who handles the company affairs. She has to work hard in society. If only you were capable, you shouldn’t just have remained at home cooking or even washing women’s innerwear!” Armstrong’s entire body boiled in rage.
Spittle flew everywhere as he spoke.
In fact, he had never looked highly on Clarence.
“Ahem…”
Peony faked a cough and gave Armstrong a look.
Only then did Armstrong suppress the fire deep within his heart. He snorted, “Alright, since you want to give it a try, go ahead. By the way, let me remind you that the entrance fee for the bid costs ten million dollars.
“In other words, regardless of whether you succeed or not, you have to fork out ten million dollars for the entrance fee.
“Loser!
“I’ll see how you’re going to come up with ten million dollars. Hmph!”
Armstrong snorted. Then, he flung his arms, turned around, and left.
“Well, Clarence, so you want to go for that bid, huh?
“Go ahead. But I’m afraid the ten million dollars that you’re going to spend would end up in vain.” Kaysen smiled mockingly. Then, he turned his body around and left.
The Murphy family rolled their eyes at Clarence. They did not bother to waste their breath on him and left the hall.
Just then, Clarence and Miranda were the only two left in the hall.
Miranda cussed furiously, “Clarence, are you out of your mind?!
“Do you truly want to go for that bid?! How are you going to get ten million dollars?!
“Do you know that our company’s finances are in crisis now?! We owe more than five million dollars to our creditors. Now, you even want to fork out ten million dollars to bid for a project that’s literally impossible to get your hands on?! Are you sick in your head?!”
Miranda’s chest went up and down intensely.
Now, she was regretting again. She should not have given a chance to Clarence.
“Dear, listen to my explanation. If we were to succeed this time…” Clarence was about to speak but was interrupted rudely by Miranda.
“Stop it! You don’t need to explain anymore. Clarence, I’ve thought about it for a long time. Initially, I wanted to give you a chance.”
Miranda shook her head in disappointment. “Now, I regret my decision. Clarence, you’ve no self-awareness at all.
“You’ve no idea about your own capabilities either.
“I’m truly disappointed in you.
“Over the past three years, was there anything that you’ve done that has ever made me happy?
“Nothing! You know nothing, and you never learn anything! You only stayed at home daily and do house chores, just like a woman! I’m very disappointed in you!
“I have to handle the company affairs and social engagements all by myself!
“I’ve had enough of this!
“Today, your childishness, ignorance, and stupidity have brought me incredible disillusionment.
“Our wedding certificate and account book are inside the car. I suppose you have your ID card with you, right? Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now…”
Miranda blurted out everything in one breath.
Then, she paused for a moment.
She drew in a deep breath and said, “Clarence, let’s get divorced!”
