The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power
Chapter 537 The Internal Strife of the Fox Family!

Taking care of the grandmother, Helen?

It was all just an excuse!

In reality, Matt Fox simply couldn't be bothered to deal with the Wynns and the guests who were seeking connections.

And his son Nicholas only got engaged to Mia to gain control of the Wynns' power and use the 150 million dollars to threaten Kingsley.

The Foxes wanted Kingsley to cure Helen's cardiac disease.

The day when Kingsley cured Helen's cardiac disease would be the day Nicholas dumped Mia.

As for the engagement banquet, it was nothing more than a show to the father and son.

Since Matt had always looked down on the Wynns and those guests, of course, he couldn't be bothered to show up even briefly at today's banquet.

Nonetheless, people were unaware of the father and son's real thoughts.

When they heard Nicholas' explanation, they couldn't help but praise Matt.

"President Fox is truly a devoted son to his mother!"

"Indeed! To take care of his mother, he would even miss his son's engagement banquet. Not many people would have such devotion toward their parents!"

A few elderly people with gray hair were even moved to tears.

"Nowadays, most people focus on their children. How many are willing to care so much for their seriously ill parents?"

"Yeah, people say there are no filial children when it comes to a long-standing illness. Who would have thought that President Fox would continue to care for his elderly mother? Remember, he's the president of Roseland Chamber of Commerce!"

At that moment, a wave of emotion swept through the crowd.

Everyone believed that Matt was a rare filial person.

Except for Megan, who sneered among the crowd.

"Tsk, he's not being filial! He's just afraid that he won't be able to get his hands on her will in time when something happens to her!"

Her voice stood out amidst the chorus of praise.

Instantly, she attracted the attention of many guests.

Noticing that they gave her strange looks, Megan stubbornly retorted.

"What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? Matt is my elder brother. Do you think I wouldn't know what he's up to?

"When our mother wasn't hospitalized, Matt wouldn't come home for half a year. Even on her birthday, it was always just me accompanying her!

"So, now that our mother's time is running out, he suddenly becomes a filial son? That's just ridiculous!"

Upon hearing Megan's words, those who had just been praising Matt's filial piety fell silent.

A family's affairs were best known to its own family members.

Since Megan said so about her own brother, it was probably true.

When the tide of opinion suddenly turned against Nicholas, his expression turned ugly.

"Aunt Megan, you can't be so ungrateful! When you first married into the Larson Family, Uncle Michael was dirt poor.

"If it hadn't been for my father helping y'all, the Larson Family couldn't have become a second-class family!"

Michael's face turned ashen, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The Fox Family did help him in the past.

So, no matter what, he couldn't say that his success now wasn't connected to the Fox Family.

"Help? Do you count those measly sums of money as help?! Not to mention that your sarcastic remarks far outweighed the money you gave!" Megan's face turned red with anger.

"Besides, even though we did receive money back then, it was my mom who gave it to us! It has nothing to do with your father, Matt! And let me remind you. By right, half of our family's inheritance belongs to me!"

Nicholas's gaze turned gloomy, and he let out a cold snort. "Most of our family's inheritance now comes from Prime Corporation! It's a pipe dream for you to want to possess half of it!"

As the exchange between the two became increasingly heated, Clarence quickly intervened to defuse the situation.

"Alright, alright. It's a joyous occasion today. Both of you should calm down. You don't want to become a laughing stock, do you?"

Clarence's goal today was to assert himself in front of his guests.

He didn't want the internal strife of the Fox Family to overshadow his own limelight.

At the same time, Mia quietly pulled on Nicholas' clothes. "Honey, calm down. After we get married, I'll help you deal with this shrew!"
