Chapter 78 Not Treating You as Family

The Sanders Mansion was a rare gathering place for everyone.

Kevin Sanders sat still and upright at the head of the dining table.

Upon seeing that all the descendants had arrived except for the empty seat on his left, a hint of anticipation appeared on his calm face.

Kevin played with the Brydism beads in his hand. Over the years, the relationship between Jonathan and the Sanders Family had been lukewarm, seemingly peaceful, with no major

conflicts.

But it was precisely this lukewarmness that made it even more agonizing.

"Michael, Jonathan seems really occupied with important matters, doesn't he? He says he's coming back for dinner, and everyone has to drop what they're doing and eagerly wait for him. If one didn't know any The one speaking was Morgan Sanders, sitting across from Michael Sanders. He was the eldest son of the late Mr. Sanders and rarely came to the Sanders Mansion except when Kevin himself called and said With this sarcastic remark, Michael's face visibly darkened, and his expression turned sour.

"Go and ask where he is. The whole family is waiting for him as if he's someone important!" Michael snapped at the servant.

It seemed that by doing so, he could maintain his authority in this household.

Ever since Jonathan graduated, the power of the Sanders Family had fallen into his hands. Now, as the vice chairman, Michael had become nothing more than a figurehead. Beside Morgan was his eldest son, Clement Sanders. The Sanders Family members were all good-looking, especially these boys with their handsome faces. However, Clement seemed a bit cunning, giving off an unreliable vibe.

His father, Morgan, had already set the tone, and there was no reason for him, as the son, not to follow suit.

Clement twisted his expensive new wristwatch and sneered at Christopher, saying, "Christopher, don't blame me for not reminding you. If he can kick me out of the Sanders Group, he can kick you out, too. Juc

happened to me today will happen to you tomorrow. Whether it's Uncle Michael or you, I don't think anyone in the entire Sanders Family, except for Grandpa, can make Jonathan take a second look. Don't blam As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but cover their faces and chuckle, each with a different expression.

They were just a branch of the Sanders Family. Although they lived under the halo of the Sanders Family, they didn't feel the pressure brought by Jonathan.

It was Michael and Christopher, the father and son, who truly felt the oppression. As soon as they did something, they had to consider Jonathan's opinion.

It was truly frustrating.

"Have you said enough? I'm not dead yet." Kevin slammed his cane on the floor, interrupting the conversation between the sons and grandsons.

"Dad, it's not Morgan and Clement's fault. Jonathan is really outrageous. How can he keep the whole family waiting for him?" Michael defended hesitantly in front of Kevin.

He also knew that Morgan was not happy about it.

A few days ago, Jonathan dismissed Clement, the sales director, for no reason at all.

No wonder Clement was annoyed to be manipulated by a young man in his twenties like Jonathan.

Suddenly, the butler ran over and respectfully approached Kevin, saying. "Old Mr. Sanders, Master Jonathan has arrived."

Soon, accompanied by the sound of a wheelchair, Sebastian pushed Jonathan in and slowly entered the dining room, appearing in front of everyone.

The people who were just whispering suddenly turned into flattering smiles.

Although Jonathan, seated in a wheelchair, was significantly shorter than the others, his inherent aristocratic temperament overshadowed them.

Sebastian pushed Jonathan to sit beside Kevin, and Jonathan took the initiative to offer Kevin some tea, saying, "Grandpa, I apologize for being late." Kevin immediately smiled and gently replied, "It's okay. It's just a family dinner."

He then observed Jonathan for a moment. After not seeing him for a few months, Jonathan's complexion had improved significantly, and he appeared to be in good spirits.

Due to the grievances of the previous generation, Jonathan had been plagued by health issues, which concerned Kevin.

Unfortunately, due to the influence of Jonathan's mom, he was not close to the Sanders Family.

While he was still alive. Kevin was willing to maintain a semblance of a family relationship.

However, Michael spoke up first, saying, "If we truly are a family, then we shouldn't be so extreme in our actions. Clement was performing well in the sales department, but you replaced him just like that. Now, Jonathan paused with his soup bowl in hand, but he couldn't be bothered to look at Michael. "Is that so?"

He glanced at Clement and remarked, "Compared to poisoning, I believe I have shown

mercy."

Those eyes, like two bottomless abysses, revealed no emotions except for a faint coldness. This glance sent a shiver down Clement's spine.

"Poisoning?" Kevin anxiously looked at Jonathan. "What did you say?"

He had long known his grandchildren in the family envied Jonathan's current status, but he never expected them to go as far as harming their own flesh and blood. Upon hearing the word "poisoning." his heart raced.

"It's nothing. It has been resolved. But if it were to happen again, Clement won't remain unscathed." The first half of Jonathan's sentence was meant to reassure Kevin, while the second half was directed at Mic

If it weren't for Michael secretly aiding Clement, the latter wouldn't have successfully poisoned Jonathan. It was simply a case of using someone else as a tool for murder. Clement didn't expect Jonathan to threaten him in front of so many people. His face turned pale, and he quickly excused himself from the table.

"Why was I not informed of such a significant matter?" Kevin looked at Michael sternly, questioning him.

Jonathan's tone remained calm and indifferent. "Grandpa, the matter has been resolved. I

came here today to discuss Christopher's marriage with you."

Jonathan held considerable influence, and Kevin had stepped down from his position years ago, so he no longer interfered in family affairs,

After giving Michael a stern look, Kevin's mind raced. "What's wrong with Christopher's wedding?

He had seen Angela before. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also kind-hearted and considerate. She was the perfect candidate to be his granddaughter-in-

law, and he was very satisfied with her. He had originally planned for them to marry after their graduation.

Jonathan took a sip of soup and then smoothly declared, "As for the engagement with the Kins Family, Christopher will now be engaged to Fanny."

His tone didn't sound like he was seeking approval but rather like he was informing them.

"No, absolutely not." Before Kevin could object, Michael was already angrily protesting. "Who is this Fanny? What does she have to do with the Kins Family's shares? What we want is a legitimate heir of the Ki Fanny may seem favored, but she has no legitimate connection to the Kins Family. Why should Christopher marry her? Christopher is my son. Over the years, he has endured so much injustice being called an Michael's mind was racing, but Jonathan looked at him coldly and said, "So, it seems that Christopher is not marrying Angela, but rather the shares of the Kins Family?"
