Chapter 1597 A Good Judge Of Character
“The men sent by Wilbur and your daddy is protecting Maya from the shadows, so don’t worry. I heard that she’s been living well recently. Her gamophobia has been improving lately, so I’m sure she’ll have a more successful love life than Nina. Davin is quite a good judge of character. Wilbur seems like a good person.”
“Mm, Uncle Davin knows men better than us. Mommy, why don’t I come with you and Daddy to look for Nina?”
“No need. The company still needs you there. Just your daddy and I will be enough.”
Right as those words were out of Nicole’s mouth, she heard a series of rapid footsteps from upstairs.
The few people downstairs then lifted their heads to see Juan and Skyler rushing down the stairs.
“Stop right there, Juan!”
“Do I look like I’ll stop just because you told me to? This is my territory. Who do you think you are?”
“Regardless of whoever I think I am, your earlier words are clearly looking down on the Maupay family. You have to apologize for that!”
The two then stopped by the side of the couch. Juan had his arms folded with a look of disdain, and Skyler had a look of fury on his.
Nicole curiously looked at the two and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Skyler angrily huffed, “Juan was being mean. He said something disrespectful about the Maupay family, so he has to apologize!”
“I’m not going to do that! I was just being truthful.”
“Truthful? Which part of that was truthful? It was hurtful and humiliating.”
“Stop the nonsense. How can they be hurtful?”
“How can they not be hurtful? If I said the same thing about the Seet family, you wouldn’t be happy either.”
“If you dare say it, I’m going to hit you so hard that you’ll see stars!”
“You…. you’re being unreasonable!”
Just as the two were about to start fighting again, Nicole swiftly interrupted, “All right. Stop arguing with each other. What did you say, Juan?”
Juan glanced at Skyler and replied, “I said that the Maupays have always lived underground, so it’s inappropriate for people from six feet under to talk to us who live above ground.”
“Did you hear what he said? He said we’re people who come from six feet under. Isn’t he trying to say that we Maupays are dead people? He’s cursing at us!”
“Juan, how could you say that?”
“Mommy, did I say anything wrong? Despicable people come from the Maupay family. Look at Riley. He’s so crafty and sly. He’s the representative of their family.”
“We haven’t found out about Riley’s background, so we can’t be sure about whether or not he belongs to the Maupay family. You can’t just jump to conclusions! Furthermore, even if he’s a Maupay, you can’t say that he’s the representative of our family. You can’t curse at the entire family just because of one bad apple! It’s not fair to hold us all accountable for what he has done.”
“Even if he’s not the representative of your family, did you think that your daddy is actually someone great?” Juan mumbled under his breath.
“Juan, you can’t speak like that!” Nicole warned as she gave a glance at Sally.
“But I’m only saying the truth! Steven nearly ended the Seet family and destroyed Imperial Garden. I, Juan, know right from wrong, and I know when to speak the truth.”
“Juan, it’s true that my daddy did the wrong thing. Let me apologize to you on his behalf,” Sally sincerely said while casting an apologetic look at Juan.
At that, Juan glimpsed at her before his eyes drifted to her stomach. Regardless of everything, Sally was the one bearing Kyle’s child. He had to give her a certain amount of respect.
If he really started a fight with her and ended up affecting the baby in her, Kyle would certainly be unhappy, and so would his mother.
The baby in Sally’s belly really comes at the right time. The baby is the reason the Maupay family has stopped fighting with the Seet family. The relationship between Sally and Kyle isn’t affected by Steven’s actions either. This baby in her has come to be a mediator, huh?
“All right, all right. You don’t need to apologize. You’re as precious as a black-footed ferret to the Seet family right now. I can’t ask for an apology from you lest they get angry at me.”
