Urgent?!

Matthew Swantz’s brows deepened in a frown. In his eyes, Adam Swantz had never done anything worthwhile.

He must be messing around again!

Matthew quickened his steps and reached the balcony upstairs; there, he saw Terrence Lentz’s car parked downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Matthew’s face turned ashen.

He knew it!

Matthew prided himself as a very successful man; he was highly acclaimed in River City’s business world. But why did he have such a troublesome son?

A useless brick not worth the effort!

Derek Swantz passed by him, noticed Matthew’s expression, looked down, and spotted Adam getting into Terrence’s car. He grinned slightly.

Adam is totally screwed.

“Dad,” Derek approached Matthew and spoke in a soft tone, “There might be some issues with the land in South City. I need to go there right away.”

At Derek’s words, Matthew withdrew his gaze, his expression softened somewhat as he looked at Derek, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to make this trip!”

At least he still had Derek.

Matthew didn’t dare to imagine what kind of despair he would feel if Adam were his only son!

Derek smiled, “Dad, it’s my responsibility.”

No struggle at all.

Matthew looked at Derek, full of satisfaction in his eyes. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “If your brother were half as sensible as you, I wouldn’t be so worried.”

Derek said, “Dad, after all, Adam is still young. As he grows older, he’ll naturally understand your difficulties.”

Upon hearing this, Matthew snorted, “What’s young? He’s just a year younger than you!”

Having achieved his intention, Derek decided to drop the subject.

At that moment, it seemed as though Matthew remembered something, “By the way, Derek, when will you be back?”

“I estimate it will take about three days.” Derek replied.

Matthew squinted his eyes, “That’s perfect, I’ve arranged for you to meet Manager Li’s daughter on the morning of the 28th.”

Given that Adam was a hopeless case, he could only pin all his hopes on Derek.

If he wanted to groom Derek as the family’s heir, he must first arrange a marriage between their families.

Derek knew exactly the intentions behind this and nodded, “Alright dad.”

He was not Adam, chasing after empty pleasures and the mirage of love.

Derek was a very realistic man.

Even if Manager Li’s daughter were a three hundred pound woman, he wouldn’t blink an eye.

Matthew looked at Derek, the pride in his eyes more visible than ever. This was truly his son!

“Let’s go down and have breakfast!”

Derek followed Matthew’s steps.

After breakfast, Derek set off for South City.

Upon receiving a message from her best friend about Matthew arranging a family alliance for Derek, May Marcine’s face fell.

“Matthew Swantz! Do you even care about your wife and son anymore?”

“You’re making a fuss over nothing!” Matthew retorted impatiently.

May continued, “So, you’ve arranged for your son to meet Manager Li’s daughter, have you?”

Hearing this, Matthew furrowed his brows, “Mind your words, Derek is also your son!”

May snorted, “I certainly don’t have such a wonderful son.”

With that, May added, “You’ve kept your illegitimate son by my side for so many years, it’s already unbearable enough! Now you even want to legitimize that illegitimate son! Matthew Swantz, what a heartless man you are!”

All these years, May had been trying to be more and more accepting.

But what she got in return was the father and son taking advantage of her patience.

Matthew glared at May furiously, “Haven’t I arranged a match for that ungrateful son of yours? Haven’t I tried to get him on his feet? He just can’t grasp the opportunity himself! Look at him and then look at Derek; Derek, at such a young age, has already taken over half of the Swantz family’s business empire! What about your wonderful son? What can he do?”

At this point, Matthew paused, “May Marcine, if I were you, I wouldn’t be here yelling. I would discipline my son!”

May turned pale with anger, “Matthew Swantz, do you have any conscience left?!”

Perhaps she shouldn’t have put up with him all those years.

Look at where she was now.

Her son had become worthless, and the son of a mistress was now the master of their home.

What a joke.

Matthew took a deep breath, looked at his well-maintained wife, and tried his best to be calm, “May Marcine, I’ve told you, Derek is also your son. As long as you can accept him, he will respect and treat you as his biological mother in the future! You’re Adam’s mother, nobody understands better what kind of person he is. Do you really think you can depend on him when you get old?”
