Chapter 215 Useless Father and Useful Sons\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton stared at Michael in disbelief. His dad had never stepped into the kitchen, but today he was actually trying to cook?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did something happen to mom?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton had thought his mom might try to force him to marry Nicole. But so far, she hadn\u2019t made a move; she only gently hinted at it together with his dad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, are you really feeling okay?\u201d Denton asked, worried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet knew her son was taking the bait. She waved her hand weakly and said, \u201cI\u2019m fine. Just catching a little cold.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lay on the bed, coughing softly, looking pitiful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton said nothing. He walked to the desk and started studying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not long after, Michael burned the food.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton walked out calmly, took the pot from him, added water, scrubbed it clean, and started cooking again. His movements were smooth and practiced, like he had done it a hundred times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael felt a little guilty. As the father, he was supposed to take care of his son, not the other way around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he didn\u2019t really feel shame; he believed that a son should be useful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, as long as Denton agreed to marry Nicole, everything from the two families would be his.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By then, as his dad, Michael would live an effortless life again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton, how\u2019s school going? Can you adapt to the international class?\u201d Michael asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s pretty good,\u201d Denton said. Then he turned to look at him. \u201cBut Dad, I agreed to join the international class because I want to study overseas. It will help me build a stronger r\u00e9sum\u00e9. I didn\u2019t do it to fight my brother for the family fortune.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at him calmly, as if telling Michael to stop dreaming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael finally lost his patience. He spoke like he was doing Denton a favor. \u201cTell me, did all that studying make you stupid? Lincoln Group and the Barton Group are two massive empires. You could marry a girl and inherit everything. How is that not a good deal?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton questioned his old man furiously. \u201cIf this is such a great deal, then why did you run from it back then? You had an arranged marriage too. You married Curtis\u2019s mom, didn\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael froze. His face darkened as if he didn\u2019t want to remember that woman. \u201cThat\u2019s different. I still did it, didn\u2019t I? But who knew I\u2019d marry a psycho? She nearly drives me crazy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He spoke angrily, almost spitting the words. \u201cShe\u2019s nuts!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWas she really mentally unstable,\u201d Denton asked quietly, \u201cor did you drive her to that point?\u201d He didn\u2019t know the full truth, but he was certain if he wasn\u2019t mentally strong enough, he would\u2019ve gone crazy from living with someone like Michael.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s face twisted, struck right in his pride. Furious, he grabbed a frying spatula and swung it at\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton frowned and dodged the attack, without saying a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From inside the room, Juliet kept coughing and cursing Michael for being useless. \u201cHow do you start a fight again in the middle of dinner?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton finished cooking for his parents and went back to studying. Juliet kept coughing. Michael kept playing video games. There was no way he could focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This tiny rental room could barely hold these two, much less peace. \u201cDad, Mom,\u201d Denton finally asked, \u201cdidn\u2019t Grandpa gave you an apartment in Haldoria? You two don\u2019t have to squeeze into this small, run- down place with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael sounded displeased. \u201cYour mom and I are here to take care of you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton let out a long sigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who\u2019s taking care of whom here?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTomorrow is my day off. I\u2019m taking Mom to the hospital. She keeps coughing; something\u2019s not right,\u201d Denton said calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael and Juliet exchanged a quick look. Their eyes lit up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, yes, good idea. Take your mom and get her checked properly,\u201d Michael replied right away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was exactly what they\u2019d planned; pretend Juliet had cancer so Denton would have no choice but to do whatever they wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, can you go play games outside? I\u2019m trying to study,\u201d Denton said helplessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael was reluctant to do that. \u201cCome on, you\u2019re already in college. Why work so hard? Just marry Nicole. Both groups will all be yours. Why bother struggling so much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton found this laughable. So if he inherited both families\u2018 businesses, he wouldn\u2019t need his abilities? Just sit back and burn all the wealth away like his old man?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sometimes, he felt he and Curtis didn\u2019t even seem like Michael\u2019s sons. His brother worked so hard and was so capable; there was nothing about Curtis that resembled Michael.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully, he didn\u2019t resemble him either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana had fallen asleep. Curtis got up quietly and walked out to the balcony.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
His assistant called, \u201cBoss, Mr. Denton agreed to join the international class. But he hasn\u2019t tried to get close to Nicole yet. It\u2019s still unclear whether he has ambition.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis leaned against the railing. He flipped his lighter open and closed. His eyes were deep and unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kenneth hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, \u201cBoss, should we deal with Mr. Denton now? Remove the threat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Curtis\u2019s abilities, making sure Denton never had a chance to become his opponent or even disappear from Haldoria would be effortless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Curtis didn\u2019t seem interested in doing that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
