Chapter 237: Nothing to Say!
Flower Island, Osborne's home.
In Enoch's study, Enoch sat alone behind his desk.
There was a chair next to his desk, and on top sat another old man, about Enoch's age, also gray-haired, but his body was obviously stronger than Enoch's, and his skin was in better condition.
He is Cyril and Fries' uncle, and Enoch's younger brother, Badiel.
Baddiel is a prominent figure in the Osborne family, and he is Enoch's most trusted person, who trusts his younger brother far more than his two sons.
Buddy's voice in the Osborne family is second only to Enoch Osborne.
Badiel never married, had no children, and devoted his entire life to the Osborne family, who was the most loyal and attentive to the family.
Therefore, on such occasions where both Fries and Cyril had to stand, he was the only one who was entitled to sit beside the head of the house.
"Hmm...... Thank you for your hard work, the Osborne family will always be the friendliest friend of the Ye family...... If you need help in the future, don't be kind...... Well, so be it, goodbye. ā
Enoch put down the phone and looked up at the two men standing at the desk, his two sons.
"The people of the Ye family have rescued Lance." Enoch said coldly, his eyes looking straight at Fries.
His eyes had the cloudiness of an old man's, but there was a hint of incredible sharpness hidden in the cloudiness.
The aging of his body has gradually made him unable to keep up with the speed of dealing with affairs, and his thinking is also slowing down, but over the decades, his rich experience in fighting other nobles has given him a wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Fries looked up at his father, and when he met his gaze, he quickly lowered his head.
"Father...... Father, what are you going to do to punish Flora in the future? Fries asked.
"This time it's just a lesson for her, I still have expectations for Flora, if I want to give up on her, I won't pay such a big price, ask the Ye family to help.
After this lesson, she should also understand that it is impossible to succeed in trying to manipulate the family by such clumsy means.
Fries, she's your daughter, you should talk to her well, stop being so headstrong, and don't have unrealistic illusions.
The life she has now is something that many people can't dream of in this life, so let her cherish it. ā
"Yes, I'll tell her." Fries let out a helpless sigh as his father ...... After all, nothing was done.
Enoch nodded, as if remembering something, and said: "You tell him again, I can understand her feelings for Milo, but the reality is cruel, the family will not interrupt Milo's treatment because of this incident, and will still help him as much as possible within the limit, but she also has to recognize the reality." ā
Fries nodded slightly, he knew that the old man meant to tell Flora not to have unrealistic delusions.
Enoch also nodded lightly and sighed: "People are easy to get sleepy when they get old, and I'm going to sleep." ā
"Cyril, you have a good business this time, keep up the good work." He praised his youngest son in passing.
Enoch got up on crutches, pushed Fries' hand away to help him, and walked slowly out of the study by himself.
Badil, who had been sitting in his seat silently, also stood up, walked up to Fries, and patted him on the shoulder: "Fries, you have done your best, and you can't do better, show some manly appearance...... I want to see you back then. ā
Fries glanced at Badiel and smiled wryly.
Baddiel sighed and walked out the door.
Sidille patted Fries on the back and left.
Alone, Fries stood there for a moment to adjust, then took out his phone and made a call to Flora.
"Hey, father?"
Flora's voice was slightly hoarse, and in this father's voice, Fries did not hear any emotion, it was simply a name produced under the rules of the world.
"Well, it's me, this time your grandfather told me that the family will continue to maintain the treatment of Milo after that."
āā¦ā¦ā
"Daughter, Daddy...... Dad wants to talk to you about something serious, about your brother's illness. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
"Flora, Milo's illness, in fact, your grandfather and I can understand, but sometimes the reality is so cruel, a terminal illness is a terminal illness, it is not a difficulty that can be overcome by individual efforts, all we can do is accept it...... Do you understand? ā
There was a faint, faint, barely audible laugh from the other side, and Flora said sadly, "But he's your son." ā
Hearing this, Fries's expression tightened as if cast iron, and his hanging hand clenched into a fist...... After a few seconds, his fist slowly released again.
"I also want Milo to live healthily, but it's not something I want to do, the family is also working hard, and I'm constantly communicating with your grandfather about it. If the family's business can develop as steadily as it does now, then even if Milo's illness worsens, the family may be able to afford the medical expenses.
You have to understand that the treatment of the disease does not rely on the emotional support of relatives, it requires money, and we must be realistic.
Milo's treatment is closely related to the family's financial resources, and the family will help Milo, but you can't give up everything else for Milo, you have to empathize.
Help the family develop and reflect your own value, and the family will pay enough attention to you and pay more for your wishes. ā
It was as if Fries had used all his strength to say these words, in fact, he had always wanted to say these words to Flora.
He wanted Flora to understand that the objectively existing living environment will not be transferred and changed because of the will of the individual, and the status quo cannot be changed by blind brute force, and that people must act according to the rules of society when they live in society.
He didn't want to do everything he could to save his son, no one loved his son more than him, but he couldn't let the family come up with unrealistic money to save a person who had no value at all.
"You mean to let me marry Lance, don't you?" Flora sneered.
āā¦ā¦ The Mitchell family and the Osborne family are complementary in industry, and it would be beneficial for both parties to build a strong and trusting alliance. The Mitchell family knows who you really are, do you know what that means? ā
"I understand that it is my high that an illegitimate daughter can marry their son. But why wouldn't the family send Milo over? I've never had them offer extra money. ā
"I just wanted them to send Milo over! Let me take care of him myself! Is there anything wrong with that? ā
"This doesn't do any damage to the Osborne family! Why, why don't you want Milo to come to me! ā
Flora's voice grew louder and louder, and at the end it was almost a roar, and Fries was cold to hear it, and he completely felt Flora's collapse at the moment.
Then she paused and said in an extremely cold voice, "I understand, the problem is not with me, but with you!" You don't trust me at all, you see me as a threat, and you use Milo as a collar to hold me in! ā¦ā¦ We are not human beings in the eyes of the family, just props. ā
"Father, you should understand that...... I know you understand...... I also know what I just said, and they will hear it. ā
"They know where I'm hiding, and of course the content of the call is no exception, and I can feel the caution you have when you talk to me. But why doesn't the family trust me a little bit more? Why didn't you give me a little more time in the first place?
Is it because your wife is afraid of my strength? Just because of that worthless Valkyrie name? So so desperate for me to marry Lance?
Everyone in the family does not approve of me, and Mary is still afraid that I will seize power, you are a nobleman, but you are so cowardly...... This! It's funny! ā
"Enough!" Fries gritted his teeth, his face pale.
Flora was right, their calls would be recorded and replayed later, and if these words were heard by his father, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Not enough! Since the family looks down on us so much, they sent their mother and younger brother to Dongyang Island! Then stop funding everything for us! I will feed them on my own!
As long as I live one day, I will let Milo get the best treatment possible!
IāI don't have to rely on my family anymore! ā
Fries's face was ugly, he took a deep breath, and paced anxiously back and forth in his study, sweating profusely.
He had to find a way to make the conversation sound like an argument and make the listeners feel like they weren't serious.
Fries carefully organized his language so that the conversation didn't sound so bad at the end, and then he decided on the words.
"Flora! Do you know why the family is reluctant to send Milo over! Because you're presumptuous! Without going through the brain! When you went to the Ability League, did you think about your family? Have you ever wondered what the consequences of losing a game are?
You enter the tournament as a member of the Osborne family, if you lose! What will other nobles think of us? They'll think we're sending you to your death! The Osbornes will be laughed at!
It won't do us any good if you win, it's more famous, but more energy is to help you make up lies and clean up the aftermath! Do you know how much trouble that is!
It's because of your brainless behavior that you have made yourself like a ticking time bomb, so that the family can't trust you at all! ā
āā¦ā¦ There's nothing more to say, I don't ask for much, send Milo over! As long as Milo is sent over for me to take care of, then I will marry Lance, and I will listen to the family for everything in the future, otherwise I will definitely not marry Lance! Not even if you die! ā
"Flora, I am your father! Can't you trust me? I'll take care of Milo! ā
"Don't even think about it! Milota...... Even if you die, you have to die by my side! ā
"Toot-toot-toot-"
Flora hung up unilaterally.
This has never happened before.
