I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 171
Nicholas’ expression morphed into one of condescension after hearing what Matt said.
“I remember now! He’s the guy from Ethan Windsor’s video!” Nicholas narrowed his eyes and sneered. “The Larsons are truly scared that Grandma won’t be leaving them anything in the will, huh? They got a useless piece of trash to pretend to be their wealthy son-in-law! Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll handle this punk myself!”
While the father-son duo was engaged in their quiet discussion, Kingsley and Megan had taken a seat beside the hospital bed.
Helen was propped up against the hospital bed in a sitting position. She scrutinized Kingsley as she asked Michael, “This… is the wealthy son-in-law you mentioned?”
Michael nodded at once. “Yes, mother-in-law. He’s the one who gave us the five invites from Coliree Group.”
However, as soon as he said that, Nicholas snorted and declared, “Hah! He’s already admitted in a video that he had nothing to do with the invites! Everyone knows that by now! Don’t bother trying to make him look good, Uncle Michael!”
Michael’s expression hardened. “And what do you know? Kingsley is just trying to keep a low profile. He doesn’t need to prove himself to the likes of Ethan.”
“Hahaha, low profile indeed.” Nicholas scoffed as he pointed at the fruit basket in Kingsley’s hands. “Are you telling me that a guy who can get invites from Coliree Group would come bearing a measly fruit basket when he visits someone in the hospital? How f*cking low profile!”

“That’s…”
Michael did not expect that a simple fruit basket could become the object of mockery.
Once Megan saw the fruit basket, the smile on her face vanished instantly and was replaced by extreme displeasure.
She had the ultimate say in the Larson family, and she was a proud and lofty woman in front of others, but she had to keep her head down in front of her brother and nephew.
This was all because of the disparity between the two families’ influence in the business world.
The Larsons’ used car business was child’s play in comparison with Prime Corporation!
As long as Michael remained less capable than Matt, she would never be able to stand tall in front of her own family.
She thought that Kingsley would be her ticket to finally being able to stand tall in front of them, but she never expected that the bubble would burst over a fruit basket.
Helen sighed when she noticed Megan’s colorless expression. “Megan, why are you still the same after over twenty years? Back then, you insisted on marrying Michael for his good looks, and even went so far as to turn your back against your family, and it turned out exactly like what I said back then. He’s not a man who can achieve greatness. Why are you still being so foolish when it comes to your daughter’s marriage?”
Both Megan and Michael’s expressions stiffened after hearing Helen’s criticism.
Matt added scornfully, “Michael, oh Michael. Even if you wanted to prove yourself to Mom, at least get someone who’s worth his salt! You actually got a bum from the underworld to pretend to be your wealthy son-in-law! Hmph! Even I can’t let you continue this farce any longer!”
“What? From the underworld?” Helen clutched her chest and cried, “You two want to marry Cecilia off to such a man? Are you trying to kill me?!”
Megan hurriedly tried to soothe Helen. “Mom, it’s not what you think it is. My son-in-law is actually…”
Nicholas cut her off before she could finish her sentence. “Aunt Megan, what are you guys thinking? You know very well that Grandma has a weak heart, so why did you bring such a guy over to piss her off?”
He then turned to the other relatives in the room. “Tell me, how can a daughter treat her mother this way?”
