Clarence had just gotten home.
His father-in-law Armstrong gave him a call. “Clarence, get the f*ck over here!”
Without another word, he hung up.
Feeling confused, Clarence called back to find out what was going on, but Armstrong declined the call.
Clarence had no choice but to take a taxi to his father-in-law’s house.
As soon as he reached the hall, he heard Chantelle crying out, “That damn Clarence!
“It’s alright that he’s a loser, but why give my son trouble?
“Boohoo! Great, my son’s fired now. How is he going to go on with his life?”
“Chantelle, stop crying. When Clarence gets here, we’ll ask him what happened,” comforted Peony.
Kaysen was also with them. “That damn Clarence!
“I think he has something to do with this. He knew I was going to borrow money from Johnson’s company, so he made Tony lose his job.
“Dad! Clarence must have a grudge because of Sunshine District.
“He’s trying to screw up the bid!
“The construction team will start working in ten days.
“If we don’t get the loan by then, Sunshine District will have to stop before it can even start! How are we going to explain ourselves to Wonder Group?”
Tony sat there and said nothing. His expression was extremely cold.
“Hmph! That damn *sshole. The Murphy family takes care of him, yet he’s causing us all sorts of trouble.” Armstrong banged his fist on the table.
They were all agitated, everyone criticizing Clarence.
Just then, Clarence walked in. “Mom, Dad, I’m here.”
“You still have the gall to come. What kind of a man are you? It’s alright if you’re a loser, but you made my son lose his job!” Chantelle looked at Clarence bitterly.
“Why are you blaming me? You offended Johnson.” Clarence frowned.
On the way over, he figured that Chantelle and Tony had probably complained to Armstrong, so he mentally prepared himself to face them.
“Shut up! It’s your fault.
“If you didn’t do it on purpose, why were you at Johnson’s company then?
“It just so happens that Johnson fires Tony on the same day that you’re there.
“It’s definitely your fault!” Chantelle’s eyes were red, and she looked at Clarence with a look one would only give their worst enemy.
Clarence shook his head in amusement. “You’re overthinking this. I already knew Johnson.”
“I was there to cure him.”
Armstrong’s heart twitched.
‘Didn’t Clarence cure Peony’s blocked blood vessels with acupuncture? Can he really treat illnesses?’
“Cure? What can you cure?”
Kaysen’s face was cold. “Clarence, if you want to work on Sunshine District, just say so!
“If you weren’t such a coward, I would have let you do it.
“Why do you want to sink to the level of playing such tricks?
“Now that you made Tony lose his job, my five hundred million dollar loan is gone.
“We’ll have to stop working on Sunshine District!
“You’re so amazing! Clarence, why didn’t I realize before that you were so scheming?”
Belle said coldly, “Clarence, we’re all part of the Murphy family. What’s in it for you to do this to Tony?”
“You’re not destroying the Murphy family so you can run into Cecilia’s arms, are you?” Melody crossed her legs and folded her arms.
Clarence was speechless in the face of their jeers.
He understood that these people would never believe him, no matter how much he explained.
“What’s the matter?”
“Why stop talking?”
“Are you admitting to it?”
“Poverty really does stifle ambition! All you know is how to fight with everyone. Can’t you do anything serious?”
“A loser will always be a loser. You’ll never improve yourself.”
The group continued to jeer at Clarence.
His mother-in-law Peony snapped, “That’s enough. You all should have had enough by now. Clarence isn’t responsible for this.”
“Mom,” cried Kaysen.
“I have my ideas about this.” Peony glanced at Kaysen.
Peony had believed in Mother Mary all her life, and because of the statue of Mother Mary incident from before, her attitude toward Kaysen was not what it used to be.
In the end, Clarence saved her with acupuncture. Despite that, he silently suffered the family’s ridicule and did not come forward to explain what had happened.
Peony had developed some affection for Clarence.
She also knew that Clarence was not entirely to blame. Her sister Chantelle was more at fault.
Peony was gentle. “Clarence, we’re a family. There’s no point in dwelling on these things.
“If you do know Johnson, call him and get Tony his job back.
“After all, Sunshine District still needs a loan. If the five hundred million start-up capital isn’t approved, we’ll have to stop working on Sunshine District, which will be a large impact on the Murphy family.”
“Mom, I’ll try and see.” Clarence nodded.
He called Johnson in front of everyone, asking him if he could hire Tony back.
“Master Howard, you just have to say the word. I’ll arrange for it right away.” Johnson was quick.
It was less than two minutes later when Tony got a call from the office.
“What? I’m being reinstated? Thank you, Sir. Thank you.” Tony was thrilled.
“Tony, you have to thank Clarence for this.”
Peony was somewhat surprised that Johnson had actually answered Clarence’s call.
“What’s there to thank him for? It was his fault anyway.” Chantelle glared at Clarence in disgust. “Let’s go home!”
