In the luxurious manor, the lights were bright.
It was the sixty-sixth birthday of the master of the Clark family, Lyndon Clark.
All the grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons-in-law offered lavish gifts.
"Grandpa, I heard that you like cigars. This cigar is worth 300,000 dollars and is a birthday gift for you."
"Grandpa, this is your favourite Chateau Lafite, which is worth half a million..."
Lyndon looked at the various gifts and laughed, laughter of happiness hung around the whole family.
At this time, his eldest grandson-in-law Alston Rivera suddenly said, "Grandpa, can you lend me a million, Aunt Chan has a cerebral infarction and needs money to treat her illness..."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Alston in disbelief.
This live-in son-in-law was too bold. He not only did prepare no gift but dared to borrow one million.
Three years ago, the former master of the family insisted on marrying his granddaughter Flores Clark to him, and never did anyone knew how he found Alston Rivera, who was penniless at the time, just like a beggar.
The old man passed away not long after the two got married, and the new master of the family took over. Since then, the Clark family has been deliberately trying to drive Alston away.
It felt like Alston Rivera was indifferent to rubbish, no matter how he was insulted by others since he had been a live-in son-in-law in the Clark family.
"Today, I have to borrow money from the master of the family," Alston told himself.
Aunt Chan, who saved his life when he was ten, now suffered a cerebral infarction. The cost of operation was at least one million dollars. He had no choice but to beg the master for help.
He believed that today was the owner's birthday, and if he was happy, he might be willing to help.
Unexpectedly, Lyndon laughed for a second, but immediately pulled his face down.
He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily, "Bastard, are you here to celebrate your birthday or to borrow money?"
Alston's wife Flores Clark hurried forward and explained to the master: "Grandpa, Alston is ignorant, please forgive me."
With that voice fading, she pulled Alston behind.
At this time, Flores's cousin Susie Clark sneered and said, "Sister, look at your husband, what kind of rubbish does he belong? Felix and I have just engaged, but not married yet. Felix sent grandpa his favourite white Chateau Lafite as a gift. Look at you, Alston Rivera! You did not give any presents, and why are you so confident and dare to borrow money?"
"That's right, Alston Rivera, even though we're both grandsons in law, you are such a failure!"
The man who spoke was Susie's fiancé, Felix Carter, the young master of another big local family.
Although Felix was about to marry Susie, but in his mind, the appearance of Susie was not worth mentioning when compared to Alston's wife Flores.
Flores Clark is a famous goddess in Capce City, with big boobs and a plump butt. Knowing that the goddess married this jerk, Felix put on a cold face.
"This kind of a jerk, it's better to get out of the Clark family as soon as possible!"
"That's it! What a shame on the Clark family!"
"I think he doesn't intend to borrow money but to spoil the master's pleasure of the birthday banquet!"
The speaker was Susie's brother, Harlan Clark.
The siblings, who is superior to them in every way, took every opportunity to taunt Alston.
Alston clenched his fists when he saw the entire Clark family insulting him.
If it was not for the medical bills for his saviour Aunt Chan, Alston would have turned around and left here long ago.
Embarrassment caved on Flores's face and she said, "Grandpa, Alston lost his father when he was only ten. It was Aunt Chan who offered him accommodation. He just wanted to repay her kindness. Please help him..."
Master Lyndon said coldly: "Let me help him? Well, unless you divorce him and marry Corey Bernard. If you do, I will give him a million instantly!"
The old man had heard that Corey Bernard had been pursuing Flores. And the Bernard family was large in Capce, which is much more powerful than the Clark family. The master of the Clark family always wanted to curry favour.
At this moment, the housekeeper stepped in and said loudly, "Master Bernard sent someone to give a birthday gift! A piece of top-grade jadeite worth two million dollars!"
Lyndon was overjoyed and immediately said, "Bring it here and show it to me!"
The housekeeper immediately handed over a piece of emerald green jade, and everyone present exclaimed in amazement.
This jade is emerald green, crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, and can be determined as first-class at first glance.
The two who gave cigars and red wine were also a little ashamed. I didn't expect that this Corey Bernard, who had nothing to do with the Clark family, should be so generous!
Lyndon Clark played with the jade and said cheerfully, "Young Master Bernard is considerate! I would wake up laughing from a dream if he were my grandson!"
When he finished playing, he looked up at Flores: "How about that? Will you consider my terms?"
Flores shook her head, "Grandpa, I'm not going to divorce Alston."
The master's expression instantly turned gloomy, and he scolded angrily: "Why do you still want to stay with this Alston? Let this guy get out of here! My birthday banquet, this kind of jerk is not allowed to participate!"
Alston was completely disappointed at the Clark family, and he had no reason to stay with the Clark family at this time, so he told Flores: " Flores, I will go to the hospital to see Aunt Chan."
Flores responded instantly, "I'll be with you!"
Lyndon scolded at this time: "If you leave, I won't accept you as my granddaughter in the future! You and this Alston will be removed from the Clark family!"
Flores looked startled, she did not expect his grandfather to say such harsh words.
Alston said in a hurry: "You should stay here, let me go alone."
Having said those words, before Flores recovered her senses, Alston turned around and left.
Harlan laughed behind him: "Oh my good brother, you haven't eaten anything, right? I still get a dollar, you could buy bread to eat!"
Harlan said, took out a coin and dropped it at Alston's feet.
Everyone laughed.
Alston Rivera gritted his teeth and silently walked out of the Clark family without looking back.
...
Arriving at the hospital, Alston immediately went to the cashier and wanted to communicate with the hospital about whether the payments of medical bills could be delayed for two more days.
However, when he asked the nurse, he was told that Aunt Chan had been sent to the best Hospital in Capce overnight for better treatment.
Alston was shocked and hurriedly asked her: "How much does this cost? I'll find a way!"
The nurse replied: "A total of two million is needed. One million has been paid, and there is still one million left. It should be paid within a week."
"Who paid the million?"
The nurse shook her head: "I have no idea either."
Alston was surprised and wanted to figure it out. When he turned around, a man about fifty years old in a black suit with grey hair was standing behind him.
Looking at each other, the man bowed to Alston and said, "Master, sorry to make you suffer for so many years!"
Alston frowned, seemed changed to another person, and asked emotionlessly, "Are you Harley Thompson?"
Harley said in surprise: "Master, you still remember me!"
Alston's expression froze, and he murmured: "Of course, I remember! I remember every one of you! It was you who murdered my parents then. What do you want now?"
Harley said painfully: "Master, it was our fault back then. When your father died, the old master was very sad. He has been looking for you for so many years, and now he has finally found you. Come back with me to see him!"
Alston said emotionlessly: "You can go back now. I will never see him in the rest of my life!"
Harley cried, "Master, do you still blame the old master?"
"Of course," said Alston Rivera word for word. "I'll never forgive him!"
"Hey..." Harley sighed, "old master told me before I came."
"That means he has self-knowledge!"
Harley whispered: "My master knows you have suffered all these years. Let me compensate you a little. If you don't decide to return, I will buy the largest business in Capce City and give it to you. In addition, this is your card, and the password is your birthday."
With those words, Harley handed over a Swiss Bank Diamond VIP card.
"Master, we only have six cards of this kind in the whole country."
Alston shook his head. "Take it back, I don't want it."
Harley responded: "Master, your saviour still needs a million dollars to pay. If you can't pay it, she may be in danger..."
Alston frowned. "You did that on purpose?"
Harley hurriedly answered, "Absolutely not! You should accept this card, and it's enough to pay the bills."
Alston asked, "How much is in this card?"
"Not much, a little pocket money, only a billion dollars."
