novelxo Chapter 37 Conditions
Richard pointed out of the door, then he threw them out in person.
With a bang, he then shut the door.
A second before it was closed, Oliver was devastated and fell to the ground.
Inside the door, Eddy was weakened, "Richard, since you can borrow 30 million from Kurt, could you intercede with him to let the Smith family off?"
"We are families after all. Don't go too far."
"Father, why? Are you still begging for them? They have never taken us as families!" Richard said in deep voice.
It was Eddy's shortcoming that he was too sympathetic and timid, not the least decisive.
"Even though they don't treat us as families, we should do. After all, they have taken care of us a lot in the past five years. Were it not for their assistance, Maria might have already been..." he said. "What are you talking about, Eddy? They set traps for us, not help!" Jane rejected in a gloomy tone.
"But...." Eddy was still hesitant.
As they were talking, the cries outside came to a sudden halt.
Oliver's eyes were lightened up suddenly as if he saw the lifeline.
'That's it!'
'Since Richard can borrow money from Kurt, they certainly have a special relationship!'
'If Richard can intercede for them, the Smith family may be saved!'
He started knocking on the door frantically and shouted, "Eddy! Open the door! I know I have been wrong. Please open the door!"
Inside the house, Jane stared at Eddy, "It's all your fault! You fool!"
"At least we are brothers, and there's no need to kill them all." Eddy said in a low voice.
"Then why can't you remember how they have tried to kill us all? Now that they're stuck, we don't have to help them!" Jane fumed.
"Dad, I think Mom is right and there's no need to help them." Catherine gritted her teeth.
When she was in difficulty, she not only got no help from the gang of Oliver, but also was schemed by them.
Now Oliver and the others were in distress, and they wanted her to reach out?
No way!
"But after we die, we need to be placed in the ancestral hall after all. I want my temporary memorial tablet be remained in the hall of the Smith family anyway!" Eddy said. Speaking of the ancestral hall, Jane and Catherine frowned.
Richard was also speechless.
According to the custom of some parts in the Heufville Province, the temporary memorial tablets should be placed in the ancestral hall after people's death, which was valued particularly by Eddy. If the Smith family was no more, he would not be able to return to the ancestral hall.
Richard sighed and opened the door.
At the sight of it, Oliver approached Richard immediately in exultation, groveling, "Richard, your father is right!"
"We are families. Blood is thicker than water!"
"Could you... could you intercede with Mr. Thomas to let us off?"
"Yeah, we know we have been wrong!"
Duke also fawned without shamefulness and apologized, "We have been blinded to make such terrible decisions!"
"Eddy! Richard! Catherine! Please! For the sake of the family, please help us."
All the Smith family struggled to get up and begged.
Richard looked chilly, sneering, "Now you want to ask for help? But who have claimed to coerce my wife to marry with that Miller if we can't return the money?"
Jane also echoed with Richard contemptuously with her head up, "We have been expelled from the Smith family. Why should we, the new Smith family, care about your life and death?" Hearing this, Eddy nudged Jane with a bitter smile, trying to persuade her not to say so.
"Well, it's not impossible for Kurt to let you go. But I have one condition!" Richard sneered at Oliver.
Oliver became overjoyed with a red face, "What's it? Richard, just tell me! As long as I am able to, I will definitely follow it!"
Gazing coldly around, Richard said slowly, "I want you all to kneel down and apologize to my wife!"
