chapter 8 Destroyed his 'heaven'

by Oliver 18:50,Nov 22,2023
Beatrice gritted her teeth tightly, she hated Gilbert for his back.
But Solomon became more interested. He laughed and said, "Good boy, come and have a drink with me."
"Dad, I respect you."
Gilbert didn't care, he drank wine and ate meat with Solomon, and completely ignored Stev which made the latter's face become more and more gloomy and embarrassing.
At this time, Beatrice took Stev's hand and said tenderly, "You are my husband. Don't care about my dad."
The implication was that even if Solomon likes Gilbert, it would not help. Beatrice would only marry with Stev.
Stev suddenly felt much happier. He smiled and said, "How could it be possible? Dad has such a straightforward temper. I'm used to it."
But secretly, he glanced at Gilbert and sneered sinisterly!
He didn't dare to do anything to Solomon, but this Gilbert...
How dare was he? Look how I swollen your face today!
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the guests around him toasted to Stev to please this wealthy son-in-law with a good background.
Stev was also quite arrogant. Whether he was looking for a job, borrowing money, or even involving official matters, he did everything in a big way. This made him the focus of praise and full of limelight!
Beatrice also became more and more proud and excited, her face glowing red. Fortunately, she didn't go blind and marry a poor boy like Gilbert.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be as beautiful as she was today!
At this moment, Bertha, who had been worried all the time, suddenly said, "Stev, your family runs a big company and has a big business. It definitely needs help from trustworthy people."
"Gilbert has just returned from the army and doesn't have much work at the moment. How about you help make arrangements?"
Bertha spoke awkwardly, her wrinkled hands tremblingly held up a glass of wine and said, "Stev, since you and Beatrice started dating, I have never asked you for anything. This is the only one, okay?"
She thought about Gilbert wholeheartedly.
In an instant, Gilbert felt sad in his heart.
Maternal love was like water. No matter how old you grew, you would always be a child in your mother's heart.
They would always be careful and give without expecting anything in return.
"Mom, I do not need," Gilbert pulled Bertha.
Now, your son was already a military god, famous all over the world, and did not need to bow to anyone.
Including, the Wood family in the Jormiles City!
Stev also hurriedly helped Bertha. Before he could speak, Beatrice on the side got angry. She said impatiently, "Mom, can you stop making trouble?"
"Stev's company is not a charity. Every position and every business requires professional talents. They have to be selected through layers of screening. Gilbert Wood, who has neither academic qualifications nor ability, just goes there to make a living? "
"What do you want other employees to think? Where do you put Stev?"
Solomon put down his chopsticks and said in a dull tone, "What, you are yelling at your mother before you getting married? What?"
Beatrice looked aggrieved, "Dad, why do you always turn to Gilbert?"
"Okay, okay," at this time, Stev stood up and quickly smoothed things over. He said with a smile, "Father, mother, Beatrice is right. My company is very technical and professional. It is not so easy to arrange positions."
"But since my mother has spoken, I must obey her!"
Under Bertha's face of joy, he looked like he had been thinking hard for a long time. Then, he said to Gilbert with a smile, "In this case, our company's bathroom still lacks a cleaner. I think it is suitable for you. Do you want to consider it?"
"Usually, the cleaner just mop the floor, scrub the toilet, and clean the urinal. It's simple and hassle-free..." Gilbert's eyes became cold.
"Fuck!"
Solomon suddenly stood up, pointed at Stev and cursed, "Little bastard, you asked my son to clean your toilet? What did you think?"
"Hey, father, don't say that. There is no distinction among jobs. It's just you who thinks too much," Stev was so proud that he laughed indifferently and raised his glass, "Well, let's drink and don't be mad."
Snapped!
Solomon directly waved his hand and knocked over his wine glass, "Who is your father? Get out of here, get out of here."
"I don't have a son like you, stay far away from my daughter!"
Stev's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the crowd around him suddenly became panicked and noisy.
"Dad, you are going too far. Why do you treat Stev like this?" Beatrice couldn't bear it anymore. She wiped away her tears and shouted with great grievance, "How has our family lived these years? If Stev hadn't been secretly helping us, our family would have starved to death long ago. Why do you treat him like this?"
"But what about Gilbert? We raised him so big, but he ran away from home after a disagreement. For ten years, there has been no news," Beatrice pointed at Gilbert angrily, venting her grievances, "He has done everything for the family. What kind of contribution have you made to our family?"
"Why should he compare with Stev?"
Gilbert frowned and said, "Didn't I leave a land deed before I left?"
"That piece of land is a thousand acres, and it will be developed into a commercial area soon. You can earn two to three million every year by collecting rents even if you don't do anything."
This land was left to the King's family by himself. To be precise, he asked the Wood family in the Jormiles City to leave it to Solomon. Put away his worries.
He was still wondering why he left such a large fortune, but the King family had been living in an old house and using old furniture for ten years.
He originally thought that it was because the King family was nostalgic and unwilling to waste money, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"Haha, Gilbert Wood, you still have the nerve to talk about your land deed!" Beatrice snorted coldly after hearing this, "If it weren't for your land deed, our family wouldn't have suffered such a disaster!"
Solomon's expression changed immediately, "Shut up, stop talking!"
"Why? I have to say it!" Beatrice was furious, she shouted angrily, "Because of that land deed, my father was targeted by Kenny Moore of the Four seas Chamber of Commerce!"
"Those beasts are ruthless and do all kinds of evil. Who dares to go against them in Jorthtown? Not only did they take away the land deed, but they also broke one of my dad's legs."
"Right now, dad still has steel nails in his right leg. Every time it's cloudy and rainy, he'll be in terrible pain. Do you know?"
Buzz...
Gilbert's mind went blank and he stood up immediately.
The scene suddenly fell silent. Only Stev was gloating at the sidelines, happy to see Gilbert make a fool of himself!
Bertha wiped her tears secretly, while Solomon's eyes dodged, and he secretly retracted his right leg. He grinned, "Don't listen to this damn girl's nonsense. It's just a little injury to the fur, and it's been healed long ago."
"I am also a scout. How can those brats hurt me? Haha, they were hurt more seriously."
Gilbert just remained silent. He knelt down on one knee and grabbed Solomon's right leg. There was a striking scar, which was more than ten centimeters long. Inside, the lines of the steel plate were clearly visible.
Gilbert pressed, "Does it hurt?"
