Carl curled his lips and remarked, “Oh, cousin, you are so temperamental. In the Sun family, we belong to the same generation. So what if you are my sister? You’re just a woman who will marry sooner orter. Once you do, you’ll no longer be a member of the Sun family; you’ll be an outsider, understand?”


    Charlie, who was standing nearby, felt the urge to speak up but decided against it. After all, this was a family matter for the Suns, and as an outsider, he wasn’t sure where he fit in. If he intervened now, he would just be seen as a stranger. Plus, the intentions of Sun’s second and third children were still unclear, so he chose to observe instead.<fn2b19> ?????? ????

    Just then, Orrin Sun shouted in anger, “Enough! Stop talking nonsense!” Once the room quieted down, he turned to Hank and Carl, addressing them in a cold tone: “You two shouldn’t be beating around the bush. What do you want? Just say it inly instead of prattling like a maiden and embarrassing the Sun family!”


    Hank, with a sly smile, touched his chin and feigned concern, “Big brother, I heard your health has worsened again? Did the hospital clear you for treatment, but you refused?”


    Orrin Sun replied icily, “I’m sorry, but I’ve decided to actively pursue treatment. My daughter hasn’t married yet, and I can’t just die without a fight!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon hearing this, Orrin’s expression shifted dramatically. Carl, unable to hold back,ined, “Brother, didn’t you already decide to give up on treatment? Why the change of heart now? Even with active treatment, you might not have more than ten and a half months left. Those months in the hospital have been torture; why bothering here?”


    Orrin Sun’s expression turned frigid as he gritted his teeth, “What are you two trying to say? If you don’t get to the point, don’t me me for throwing you out!”


    With a smile, Hank continued, “Big brother, the old man was entric. Upon his death, the Sun family assets were split 50% for you and 25% each for me and the youngest. What do you really need all that for? Your family has no son. When my daughter marries, it’s like she’s been thrown out with the water. You can’t let outsiders benefit from our family’s assets!”


    As Hank spoke, he nced at Angie and added with a smile, “Besides, my sister-inw isn’t too old, and she’s quite beautiful. If your eldest brother is gone, how could she remain alone for the rest of her life? She’s bound to remarry! When that happens, part of the Sun family’s wealth will end up in the hands of outsiders. Can you really bear to let half of the family’s assets slip away to them through your wife and daughter?”


    Angie, hearing this, felt a surge of anger and humiliation, tears welling up in her eyes. Stefanie, too, was furious, her fists clenched in resentment.


    Orrin Sun’s demeanor shifted dramatically; his already pale face grew even more so, and he appeared shaky, as if he might copse at any moment.


    Charlie couldn’t take it any longer. He reached out to steady Orrin’s swaying body and eximed with a dark expression, “You bastards, this is downright deceitful!”
