Chapter 1013
If it weren’t for his relentless efforts to coax her into eating, she might have starved herself to death by now!
Clayton’s voice choked with excitement, “Yeah, time to eat, time to eat p>
Evan, feeling sorry for his grandpa, tugged at Clayton’s hand, “Grandpa, you haven’t had breakfast either, have you? Let’s eat together later.” “Alright, alright, we’ll eat together p>
Clayton immediately instructed the housekeeper to hurry and prepare breakfast, making a special request,
“It’s still early, and Evan’s family probably hasn’t eaten either. Please prepare extra, and treat them with the hospitality we reserve for esteemed guests p>
He didn’t care about their status; anyone who could make his wife happy was a benefactor to Clayton!
They were Clayton’s honored guests!
Larry, still in the living room on the ground floor, watched Clayton and Pamela’s joyful expressions, a sinister look flashing in his eyes.
He had heard it all; they liked the kid because he reminded them of their daughter!
Anything remotely related to their daughter could bring them joy.
Talking about treating him like a godson, pah!
In their hearts, there was only their daughter, and he was just a stray dog they kept around.
When they were happy, he was treated well, but who’s to say they wouldn’t kick him to the curb on a whim?
They did sponsor his education and helped him find a job, true.
But if they really saw him as a godson, they wouldn’t constantly be on the lookout for their daughter, nor would they be content with letting him stay at home, taking care of a lunatic!
Sure, they provided for him lavishly, giving him billions for spending money every year to do as he pleased!
So why should he be grateful to them? They weren’t good to him!
They sponsored his education just to craft an image of benefactors for themselves!
He was better off making his own way!
After teaming up with Helen, he could make millions more in tips every year, and Helen even set him up with her niece, guaranteeing they could marry.
Once he married into a wealthy family, he would truly rise to the top, becoming a VIP!
These were dreams Clayton could never fulfill for him!
Clayton wouldn’t plan for his future!
Even funnier was when Clayton found out he was dating Helen’s niece, he actually disagreed, sternly telling him to break it off!
Clayton surely didn’t want him to succeed; he preferred keeping him as a caged dog!
So, his betrayal wasn’t ingratitude; Clayton never showed him any real kindness!
With these thoughts, Larry sneered secretly!
Looking at Evan, contempt flickered in his eyes once more.
Just because the kid bore a slight resemblance to their daughter, they were fond of him? They were happy?
They couldn’t possibly be considering this wild child as their real grandson, could they?
Ha!
Their daughter had been dead for who knows how many years, and they still hoped for a grandchild?
Dream on!
Larry didn’t think much of Evan, feeling particularly unlucky today!
His first attempt at poisoning had failed, a bad omen.
Steadying his nerves, Larry put on a facade of kindness and said,
“Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Patel needs to drink more soup to recover. I’ll have another bowl prepared for her, shall I p>
Clayton nodded, “Yes, do that. And while you’re at it, prepare some more, for Evan’s family too p>
“Sure p>
Larry turned and left, not sparing Evan another glance.
After all, he could never have imagined that Evan was indeed Clayton’s real grandson!
After all, Evan was just a little kid; who could have guessed that what followed would turn everything upside down?
