SWNOVELS Chapter 121
Chapter 121 The Source of All Evil
“Slap…”
Simon was suddenly angry, slammed the table hard, pointed at Camille and said angrily, “What do you mean? How do you know he did not take it if you don’t ask? Let me tell you, you spoiled Dennis since he was a child. If you continue to spoil him, this child will be destroyed.”
“Why are you yelling at me?”
Camille’s eyes were red, and she complained, “Simon, you are not capable at all, and you only know how to yell at me. When Alexander was alive, you still had some money. Now that Alexander is dead, you only have a small hotel. It’s fine for me to live a hard life with you, after all, I chose it myself, but why are you yelling at me, what do I owe you?”
Immediately, Simon’s face changed, and he felt very humiliated in front of Lucian.
However, he could not say anything. These years, Camille really did not have a good life following him.
“Uncle, aunt, stop arguing!”
Lucian said with a serious face, “It’s not worth it to fight over 20 million dollars. I don’t want to mention this money for now, but if Dennis took this money, I must ask him for it, otherwise, misfortune will happen.”
“Bulls hit, what can happen??”
“The money in our hands is ours. It’s not possible for someone to hold a knife around our necks to sn atch it back.”
At this moment, suddenly a group of people came in from the yard. The leader was an old man, wearing common clothes and leaning on a cane, with an angry expression on his face. Seven or eight men and women behind him were equally angry, with an angry expression. He stared at Lucian hostilely.
“Mom and Dad, why are you here?”
Seeing this, Simon immediately got up to greet them, his eyes full of surprise.
Gabriel Bowman, Susan Wayne.
Simon’s biological parents, and behind them were family members from the Bowman family.
“What do you think I’m here for?”
Gabriel looked angry and said, “If I come later, the money will be taken away.”
1/5
Hearing these words, Simon immediately understood everything. He immediately turned his head and glanced at Camille. The 20 million dollars must have been taken by Dennis, and Camille also knew about it. Otherwise, the Bowman family would not be here, and said something strange like this.
“Mom, what’s going on?”
Rosine was like an outsider, completely clueless of this matter. She was stunned to see so many Bowman family members here.
Camille kept her head down and did not answer Rosine’s words.
“Mom and Dad, this money originally belonged to Lucian.”
Simon sighed, came to his parents and spoke.
“Oh!” Gabriel shook his head lightly, and said, “I don’t think the money belongs to Lucian. After Alexander passed away, others were dividing Alexander’s assets. Only you did not fight or grab any of them, but kept spending money to make things right, that was why our Bowman family got broke. The 20 million dollars belongs to you, we can keep it, I don’t think there is any problem.”
Then Gabriel suddenly turned his head to look at Lucian, and asked, “Lucian, don’t you think so?”
Everyone else was dividing Alexander’s assets, only Simon did not fight or grab any of them.
This sentence made Lucian look at Simon sentimentally, but he shook his head and said, “Old Mr. Bowman, if your Bowman family is really short of money, you can ask me for it, but if you have the 20 million, you must give it back to me.”
“You were just a veteran, how much money can you have?”
Gabriel said angrily, “Do you know how much my st upid son paid for your father back then? Now that Oscar and Larry paid 20 million dollars, you still want to ask for it. You can’t be so ungrateful. The Bowman family is keeping it, do you have any questions?”
“Dad, this money must be returned to Lucian. It’s not our money, so we can’t take it. This is the principle.”
Simon’s attitude was very
firm.
“Slap…” The next moment, Gabriel slapped Simon directly, and a red palm print appeared on his face instantly,
After being slapped across the face, Simon remained silent and looked at Gabriel resolutely.
“How did I give birth to such a st upid son as you?”
2/5
Gabriel looked utterly disappointed, “While others are working hard to make money, you are the only one who is giving away money crazily. You paid so much for Alexander back then, and you deserve taking the 20 million dollars. Today, as long as I am here, This money will never be taken away!”
“That’s right, this money belongs to our Bowman family.”
Susan also spoke, glaring at Lucian, and said with a disgusted face, “This brat, after getting the compensation, could not wait to go back, and kept saying that if we are short of money, we can
get
it from him, but we must give him the 20 million dollars. In my opinion, he just wants to take 20 million dollars for himself, he is young, and sneaky, just like your father.”
“Old Mrs. Bowman, you can say whatever you want about me, but don’t talk about my dead father, this is basic etiquette.”
Lucian looked cold, but because of Simon, he did not get angry.
“Isn’t it right for me to say so?”
Susan sneered, and said, “You just want to go back with 20 million dollars, and then just give us tens of thousands of dollars to shut our mouths. Is our family so cheap? It’s worth tens of thousands of dollars only?”
“If you want money, I can give you 100 million, or even 500 million, or even 1 billion, but you must give me the 20 million.”
Lucian said very seriously.
“Hahahahaha…”
Hearing Lucian’s words, everyone in the Bowman family laughed out loud, their voices full of ridicule and sarcasm.
100 million, 500 million, 1 billion…
“Don’t make me laugh, okay?”
Susan sneered, and said, “You were just a veteran, and you were just a stinky cook, can you give us so much money? Don’t you just want to take away the 20 million that belongs to our family? You could dream on.”
“No matter what you say today, you won’t be able to take the 20 million away.”
Gabriel seconded.
“Sigh…” Lucian shook his head lightly, and said lightly, “If you take the money away and let Dennis go wild out there, it will easily bring trouble to him. I’m just protecting you. Is it a matter of
2/5
money?”
“Do we need your protection?”
Gabriel said with contempt on his face, “The best way for you to protect us now was to get out of here quickly and give up the idea of asking for 20 million dollars. You can fool my stu pid son, but
will never fool me. Understand?”
you
“You just want money, don’t you?”
With a look of disgust on her face, Susan took out a stack of cash from her wallet and threw it in front of Lucian. The cash flew wildly in the air for a moment, and she said indifferently, “This is five thousand dollars, take it and get out. Starting today, our family has nothing to do with Alexander, nor with you.”
“Grandma, why were you like this?”
“This money is obviously Lucian’s, we can’t take it, this is the most basic principle of life.”
Rosine finally saw everything through. Grandpa and grandma brought the Bowman family to turn their backs on the other party for the sake of the 20 million, and she was very angry.
“Bul lc rap, you are just a child, what do you even know?”
Gabriel glared at Rosine, and said, “It’s really disappointing to turn your elbows out like your useless father. If you insist on making things difficult for me, you can leave Bowman’s family at any time, but the 20 million belongs to the Bowman family.”
Looking at all this, Lucian felt very helpless!
Money was the root of all evil.
Nowadays, people could really give up on their family just for money.
“Dad, why don’t you give Lucian some of it back, give him 10 million, let’s keep 10 million, it’s not easy for him…”
Camille stood aside and finally spoke.
It was true that she asked Dennis to convey this message to the Bowman family, but she only asked Simon to keep some money through the Bowman family to case the hardship. She did not expect them to intend to pocket it all.
It was indeed not good to do so.
“No, I’ll give this kid five thousand dollars at most.”
Gabriel turned his head to look at Lucian, pointed to the cash on the ground, and said, “This five thousand dollars is one portion for you, why don’t you just take it and get out? Are you going to stay for dinner?”
