Chapter 205 What Nonsense About the Abandoned Member of the Wilson Family.
Chloe followed Percival back to the room, and Sarah gave Ethan a look, signaling him to follow as well.
Munro and Cherry's expressions were funny, their faces full of complex emotions as they glared at Ethan. In the end, they had no choice but to reluctantly lead the Miller family members away quietly.
If Percival were still unconscious or ill, they could act without any scruples. But now that Percival had fully recovered, it made them feel panic. How could they still dare to be arrogant?
They were aware of Ethan's medical prowess, yet they never imagined it to be of such remarkable magnitude. In the blink of an eye, he had completely cured Percival, far exceeding their expectations!
"What do we do now? Do we really listen to Percival and cancel the marriage with the Ashford family?" Outside Fragrant Garden, Cherry was at a loss and asked Munro, who had been silent all this time.
"Wasn't this always your doing? You were the one who pushed hard for the marriage with the Ashford family. Ever since Dad's health started deteriorating five years ago, you've been waiting for this opportunity, haven't you?" Munro casually retorted, his face showing no emotion, leaving his thoughts unreadable.
"Munro, are you grateful when you say that? Didn't I do all this for you? Do you want the position of heir to fall into Merrick's hands?" Cherry exploded upon hearing this. Over the years, Munro had never spoken to her in such a sarcastic tone.
"For me? It's for yourself! You heard that Dad said the position of the main person in charge of the Miller family isn't just between me and Merrick. Even unrelated people have the right to compete. How many more competitors will we have? None of them will be easy to deal with!" A trace of resentment appeared on Munro's face, clearly still bitter about Percival's decision.
If it weren't for the marriage issue, Percival might not have had such a ridiculous idea!
And Percival announced it in front of the apprentices. This news would spread throughout the entire Miller family in no time. What would those who were already ambitious think?
Even those who usually had no ambition might be tempted by this statement, right?
Who wouldn't want the chance to lead the entire Miller family?
"So you're blaming me? Is it all my fault that things have come to this point? If you hadn't agreed to let Chloe go to Novaria and given her three years, would she have met Ethan? Would all these things have happened? And you have the nerve to put all the blame on me?" Cherry retorted furiously.
"It is Enough. I don't want to argue with you. Now that Percival has fully recovered and said the marriage is off, you should think about how to explain this to Dorian!" Munro snorted impatiently.
For the first time in years, he showed his cold and domineering side in front of Cherry.
Cherry looked at Munro in disbelief, unable to comprehend the sudden drastic change in her usually compliant husband. She thought, 'Did I really make a mistake?'
Ethan had no idea that Munro and Cherry were arguing because of him or that it had already affected their relationship and trust.
After all the Miller family members left, Atticus exchanged a few pleasantries with Ethan and quickly found an excuse to go!
He had figured it out, 'It was best to stay away from Ethan, or nothing good would come of it!'
Ethan didn't mind. After everyone left, he turned and went back to Percival's room.
The laughter of the three people inside abruptly stopped as Ethan entered.
"It seems Percival is in good spirits. What were you all talking about so happily?" Ethan asked curiously.
"So, you're Ethan?" Percival finally took a good look at the young man in front of him. Earlier, they hadn't exchanged any words or even glances outside.
"That's right. I'm Ethan. But most people call me the abandoned member of the Wilson Family. What do you think?" Ethan asked with a smile.
"An abandoned member of the Wilson Family, huh? The position of the main person in charge of the Wilson Family is still vacant, right? All the affairs of the Wilson Family are controlled by Brady?" Percival asked calmly.
"The position of the main person in charge? It has been revoked by Brady twice! Both Logan and I, the legitimate heirs, have been schemed against by him. The only difference between Logan and me is that he chose to compromise and obey so he can still stay in the Wilson Family!" Ethan sneered.
"When Leander was alive, the Wilson Family was so prestigious. Even now, with your grandfather gone, the Wilson Family remains the most powerful among the four great families! It's a pity that Brady, despite all his scheming, miscalculated you! What nonsense about the abandoned member of the Wilson Family. Is the current Wilson Family still the same as it used to be?" Percival sighed and then suddenly cursed.
"Truly, you possess remarkable insight. In my view, I can represent the Wilson Family! Why would I need Brady to acknowledge my identity?" Ethan said proudly, clearly moved by Percival's words, and his attitude was evident.
He said to himself, 'It was worth all the effort I had put into saving Percival; it was a fair return for my efforts!'
"Grandpa, Ethan doesn't actually want to control the Wilson Family. The reason he's opposing the Wilson Family is to investigate the truth behind his parents' car accident. Can we help him?" Chloe pleaded, trying to gain Percival's support for her beloved Ethan.
"Chloe, don't make things difficult for Percival. After all, the Miller family isn't just a few of you; Percival has to consider the safety of hundreds of Miller family members. As for investigating the car accident, I have my ways and never intended to ask anyone for help!" Ethan shook his head, refusing before Percival could respond.
"But you need enough resources to resist the Wilson Family!" Chloe frowned. No matter how strong and confident Ethan appeared, she couldn't help but worry when facing an enemy like the Wilson Family.
Moreover, even though Ethan could defeat someone like Zephyr Wilson, he was still too weak compared to the entire Wilson Family!
"If the so-called resources are merely relying on others' help, then I don't need such resources! I know you're worried about me, but trust me, I know what to do!" Ethan said firmly, shaking his head.
"Good! As expected of Leander's grandson! If I were Leander, I could rest in peace even in the afterlife!" Percival Miller praised Ethan after hearing his words.
"Percival, you're too kind! I'm just speaking my mind. Some may not understand and might say I'm pretending or overestimating myself!"
Ethan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
