Elmer Stevens, who had been silent all this time, also silently retreated. Well, the dark clouds had finally dissipated. The moon had come out. It was a good time to see a ghost.
Unlike the relaxed and cheering of the Walton family, at this moment, the atmosphere of Ben’s family was terrifyingly oppressive. Ben’s grandmother saw that the Internet was filled with words that were scolding her. Those words were too unpleasant for her to accept.
“This group of blind people! You’re the bad one! Your entire family is bad! You even cursed me to die! You die early!” Ben’s grandmother cursed. She was so angry at the comments online. What kind of people were these? They scolded people so badly. Didn’t they know that she was old and her heart couldn’t take
Ben’s grandmother did not expect Amelia’s father to be so powerful that he could really find the video! What should she do! Now that Ben’s grandmother was in the wrong, she did not know how to explain even if she wanted to record a video!
Ben’s grandma paced back and forth anxiously.
Ben’s father was also angry. He questioned Ben’s grandmother, “Mom, didn’t you say that it was the other party’s fault? Why did it become like this now!”
Ben’s mother also said, “That’s right, Mom. Previously, you said that the other party hit our Ben for no reason, but that’s not the case at all!” This old woman was going to kill their family! The Walton family was so rich and powerful. If they made a move on their family, their family would go bankrupt!
Ben’s grandma immediately threw away her walking stick and sat on the ground, wailing, “Oh, I’m usually the one who takes care of Ben. You guys didn’t even ask me. Now that something has happened, you know to blame me? Boohoo, my life is so bitter! I’ve been looked down on by my son and scolded by my daughter-in-law. It’s my fault for not taking good care of Ben. I’ve let my ancestors down, alright!”
Ben’s mother rolled her eyes. This trick again! She had really had enough! If there were really ghosts of her ancestors, she prayed that they would come over tonight and take this old woman away!
Ben’s grandma cried for a while and realized that no one was paying attention to her. Ben was watching cartoons at the side. He kicked the things off the coffee table and said, “It’s so noisy! Can you be quieter!”
Ben’s grandma’s voice couldn’t help but become softer.
Ben’s father was on the phone and saying in distress, “I don’t know what’s going on, but President Burton hasn’t picked up the phone.” The President
Burton he was talking about was the eldest young master of the Burton family, Ulysses Burton.
Ben’s mother also sighed. “The most important thing now is to quickly find a backer. This matter has blown up too much. The Walton family will not let it go. With their family’s ability, it will be a matter of minutes before our family goes bankrupt.” Previously, they thought that they were in the right. If the Walton family dared to make them go bankrupt, they would announce the matter online, saying that the Walton family could do whatever they wanted.
But now, they were the ones being scolded by the entire Internet. Even if the Walton family made their family go bankrupt, the netizens would only clap and
cheer!
The more Ben’s father and mother thought about it, the more regretful they became. It was all Ben’s grandma’s fault for causing so much harm!
Ben’s grandma immediately said, “I’ll call the Old Madam of the Burton family. I’m familiar with her.” With that, she called the Old Madam of the Burton family. It took a few tries to get through.
Ben’s grandma immediately smiled. “Aiyo, Old Madam Burton, it’s me…”
On the other end of the phone, Old Madam Burton said, “Don’t call our family anymore. Are you trying to kill us?” With that, she hung up without even explaining!
Ben’s grandmother was stunned. “What does Old Madam Burton mean? Their family is so powerful. Are they afraid of the Walton family?”
Little did they know that the Burton family was almost scared to death! After Old Madam Burton’s sixtieth birthday, their family had lost all their face. The big families that had begged them to cooperate in the past had all run away, and the government relationship they were so proud of had been cut off from them. At first, they even said behind their backs that Alex was their grandson, but they were warned by Alex. They no longer dared to speak nonsense.
The Burton family had no choice but to cooperate with the small families who were not present at the time. Previously, when they held the birthday banquet, they did not send an invitation to these small families and thought that they were not qualified. Now, more than half of the small families ignored them. The Burton family was like a leaf hanging on a tree branch, swaying from the wind. They might fall one day.
Later on, Old Madam Burton finally found Ben’s grandma. Ben’s family had some money and some foundation.. Most importantly, they were easy to fool! In the end! Their family was actually blind enough to provoke Amelia!
