Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

However, he didn’t attend Alexander Lewis’s funeral; he only sent the butler.

This move, in fact, was both reasonable and appropriate.

Firstly, he was an elder, advanced in age. It was quite normal for him not to attend.

Secondly, Alexander was killed by a sniper because he had kidnapped Tifanny. In other words, he brought this upon himself and was not deserving of sympathy.

Thirdly, if Alexander hadn’t died, Tifanny…

The old man didn’t dare to think about the third point.

During those days in the deep mountains, his sleep was disturbed by nightmares about Alexander, that beast, repeatedly haunting his dreams.

Yet, this wholly reasonable and appropriate behavior of the old man deepened Mrs. Lewis’s resentment towards him.

Aldo, Elizabeth, and Grace Lewis, the three siblings, were also complaining about the old man behind his back.

As for Richelle and her three children, they were thorns in their eyes.

These things were all within the expected range of Richelle and Roy Lewis.

So, when the coach proposed to intensify the training, they quickly agreed.

The day after the funeral, Mrs. Lewis was officially arrested by the police for causing trouble.

After Mrs. Lewis was taken away by the police, Aldo and his sisters had a meal together.

“You all saw it, right? Now in the old man’s heart and eyes, there’s only that little doctor and her three brats; where is our place as his biological children?”

Victoria Lewis laughed dryly, “Aldo, we are not at that age where we’d have to play the role of an older brother or sister, are we?”

Aldo scoffed, “If that’s truly the case, those would definitely be illegitimate children. If the old man can still father a child in his nineties, it would be a miracle.”

Grace looked worried, “But if that’s the case, and he gives all his shares to his illegitimate child. Who will we cry to then?”

Aldo gave her a glance, “Don’t worry. Even without an illegitimate child, those shares held by the old man are unlikely to come to us.”

Grace was upset, “Why not? The old man himself stated that shares would be distributed equally among sons and grandsons before. We haven’t committed any offenses; we abide by the rules. Why shouldn’t he distribute the shares to us?”

Aldo smirked, “Why? Because those shares are in his hands! Whatever he has said before, he probably considers it nonsense by now. Therefore, we should not have high hopes. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.”

Grace and Elizabeth exchanged glances.

After a pause, Elizabeth asked.

“Aldo, do you have an idea?”

Aldo feigned innocence.

“What sort of idea?”

Elizabeth was anxious, “I mean, before the old man changes his mind, we should hurry and distribute all the shares in his hand!”

Aldo sneered, “Who the hell can do that? Unless, he joins my mom before changing his will.”

Elizabeth and Grace exchanged a glance again.

Then, Grace asked.

“The old man is almost ninety, and his heart isn’t too good. Even a little bit of excitement can be fatal, right?”

Aldo nodded.

“In theory, that is correct. However, he’s living with Roy Lewis now and is as happy as a clam. What kind of excitement could reach him?”

Grace said, “Isn’t it all up to us to create some excitement?”

Aldo laughed, “With our skills, if anyone can create excitement for him, it would truly be a spectacle.”

Grace thought for a moment, then turned to Elizabeth.

“Sister, didn’t Jericho get engaged to the Clarkson girl? The Clarksons and The Yellows are reputable families. Shouldn’t we have a grand engagement banquet? It would seem unusual otherwise.”

Upon hearing this, Aldo slapped his thigh in excitement.

“That’s right! We can make use of this!”

However, Elizabeth looked worried, “Aldo, this seems rushed. If we really arrange for this, I’m afraid dad won’t believe it.”

Aldo gave Elizabeth a suggestion, “You should not be the one to approach him about this. Let the Clarksons spread the news. Dad has always cared about appearances. Once he hears gossip, he’ll naturally ask you to arrange an engagement banquet for the two kids.”

Elizabeth was still hesitant.

“But how do we spread these rumors? And even when we do, we need to make sure they reach dad and he believes them.”

Aldo patted her shoulder, “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll talk to the Clarksons. After all, I am Jericho’s uncle. It’s suitable for me to speak with them. As for dad, do you think he’s cut off from the world? He won’t miss any information.”

Seeing Elizabeth still hesitated, Grace chimed in.

“Sis, this is our only chance now. We have to seize it, or who could guarantee what the doctor could convince him of. At that point, we could only watch as this outsider and her illegitimate children, swallow what should be rightfully ours.”

Aldo nodded his head.

“Grace is right. This is a rare opportunity. If we miss this village, there’s no more shop!”
