Lord Protector Novel

Hannah heaved a sigh and replied, “The Hinton family has gone overboard. But Nancy, I still don’t get it. You contributed a lot to the Hinton family and brought in a lot of businesses. But why didn’t your grandpa give you a hand whenever Michael Hinton purposely made things difficult for you?”

Nancy said slowly, “It’s pretty obvious. He didn’t help me because I’m a woman. My grandpa still has the feudal mindset and thinks that women are destined to marry into another family. Only sons and grandsons are important because they will carry on the family legacy and name. As long as his eldest grandson Michael Hinton is happy, grandpa doesn’t care if I’m alive or dead. Speaking of which, I really admire Lacey.”

Lacey gave her a wry smile and said, “Why do you admire me? My grandpa is worse than yours. Do you still remember that my grandpa pushed my family to the wall several times?”

After Lacey finished, Nancy nodded and replied, “Now that you said it, I remember what happened during the death anniversary of your late grandma. Your grandpa even wanted to move your grandma’s tomb out of the family burial ground. Hmmph! I knew they would be out of their mind as they got older. Both the old men are jerks.”

Lacey echoed her, “That’s right. One day, the two old foxes will be shot dead by hunters.”

Nevertheless, Daniel was left speechless because he didn’t think it was right for the young to insult the elders.

At the very least, the young shouldn’t curse the elders and call them names like foxes.

As such, Daniel advised them, “That’s enough. Stop complaining. The young should never insult the elders.”

After a while, Nancy said, “Fine. Let’s not talk about them anymore, or else we’ll get even more furious. By the way, Daniel, you’re in the pharmaceutical industry as well. Do you happen to know the boss of Reagan Pharmaceutical? Can you introduce our family to them?”

Daniel answered, “I used to have some connections in Reagan Pharmaceutical. But they have a new boss now and I don’t even know who he is. So, I don’t think I can help you with that.”

Since Daniel didn’t know who the boss was, Nancy nodded and said, “Yup, the new boss is indeed a very mysterious character, and they haven’t announced anything about him so far. Hmmph! I think the new boss did this purposely to keep a low profile for the time being as he intends to surprise everyone later. What a pretentious guy!”

Once Nancy finished, Lacey immediately added, “Well, I think the new boss didn’t show up because he’s too ugly and ashamed of himself.”

Nancy couldn’t help but giggle and said, “You are absolutely right! I have met many bosses of pharmaceutical companies. I’m telling you now that all of them have greasy faces and are as fat as pigs. So, I think the new boss must look like that too. That’s why he is ashamed of himself and dare not show his face.”

And now, Zeke was increasingly displeased.
