Chapter 841: 009 Call me Beichen_5

Marcus Parker slapped his hand down on the tea table in front of him, speaking harshly. These two siblings were really too audacious, thinking Ellie Wilton’s separate courtyard was a place where they could do as they pleased.

"Dad, that’s not how you should say it. You can’t treat us like this just because Grandma and Mom are gone. Back then, ..." Zoey Parker had never imagined her father would say such a thing.

She understood perfectly what Marcus Parker meant: she was a married daughter and the affairs of the Parker Family had nothing to do with her. The Parker Family being of modest wealth would have been one thing, but it was a major clan—how could it possibly have nothing to do with her?

Even if she wasn’t entitled to a share of the inheritance like Big Brother and her younger siblings, having a small part of it would have been fine.

"What ’back then’? I founded the Parker Group and the Parker Family as it is now—this has nothing to do with your grandmother, nothing to do with your mother. Do you think just because your mother was born into a rich family, I am somehow an inferior son-in-law? Everything here, I built with my own two hands. It’s mine to give to whoever I want. I don’t owe you two brats an explanation. If you don’t want me to disregard family ties, get out now and never come back uninvited, or I’ll make sure you end up with nothing."

He had promised Ryan Parker he would never let Ellie Wilton suffer any mistreatment. So, even if he was facing his own children, he would never let Ellie Wilton and her son be wronged.

Alexander Parker + Zoey Parker: "..."

The two of them looked at each other in disbelief. It was hard for them to believe that these words could come from their father, who had always been compliant to his mother. He had not been this strong-willed before.

Of course, when it came to Ellie Wilton, their father had always been strong-willed. Not to mention their mother, even their grandmother couldn’t influence him. It was only because of Ellie Wilton’s concessions that their father eventually returned to the family.

But now, with their grandmother gone and unable to speak for them, even if their mother were here, she would likely be helpless against their father.

Ellie Wilton hadn’t expected that things between her, her son, and her daughter would turn out this way, feeling at a loss and awkward, not knowing what to say to defuse the tension.

Ryan Parker said nothing. He wanted to see just how far Marcus Parker would go for the sake of his mother.

Celia Wade also remained silent. She truly admired the force that Marcus Parker exhibited in that moment, believing a man, at any stage of his life, should stand up for his woman, no matter who he’s facing or what their relationship was.

So, Ellie Wilton devoting her life to waiting for this man was truly worth it.

Marcus Parker was indeed worthy of such devotion.

"Auntie, what do you think? Do you think what Dad is saying is what you deserve? So, you’re just another one of those people who say one thing and mean another, right?" Zoey Parker was silent for a while before turning the subject towards the quiet Ellie Wilton.

She simply couldn’t believe that Ellie Wilton had already forgotten the words she had spoken to her. If she had forgotten the promises of the past, what about the commitments made to the media when she returned to the country recently? Had she forgotten those too?

She might not be able to dispute with her own father, but Ellie Wilton? Zoey felt no need whatsoever to regard her.

Just as Ellie Wilton was about to speak, Ryan Parker suddenly stepped forward, pulling Ellie Wilton back and standing in front of Alexander Parker and Zoey, looking them straight in the eye.

"I thought this meeting might afford me the chance to call you Big Brother and Second Sister, but it seems that’s not necessary now. I’ll just address you as Mr. Parker and Miss Parker," Ryan Parker’s voice was firm and calm, without bowing or scraping, and without Marcus Parker’s fury. "Miss Parker, I have understood the substance of what you just said. Allow me to summarize it to see if I’ve grasped what the two of you are trying to convey."

"What are you? Do you have the right to speak here?" Alexander Parker couldn’t suppress his anger any longer. This was the Parker Family business. Ellie Wilton, having married his father, might count as half a Parker, but this man? He was nothing, and Alexander would never acknowledge his status as a half-brother with a different mother.

"Alexander Parker—" Marcus Parker became thoroughly enraged. He stood up and charged toward Alexander, slapping him across the face.
