Richard still hated Thomas very much as usual.
Thomas did not care about it either. He just whispered to Emma, “You can go out first. Don’t let anyone come in. I want to have a one-to-one talk with your grandpa.”
“Okay, sure.”
Emma walked out and closed the door to the prayer room.
Thomas walked to Richard, stared at the memorial photos of the Hill family ancestors, and indifferently said, “Mr. Hill, let me be honest with you. Your small family business does not catch my eyes at all. It’s really unnecessary for you to keep fending against me.”
“Really? You’re so arrogant. The Hill family’s century-old business doesn’t catch your eyes?” Richard sarcastically said, “So why do you still shamelessly want to be the son-in-law who relies on our family? You look down on us, right? Hurry up and get lost. Why do you still get involved with us?”
He was going too far with his words.
A normal person would have lost his temper, but Thomas was unbothered. He pointed at the three pennants hanging in the prayer room and asked, “Mr. Hill, do you still remember these pennants?”
Richard raised his head and looked over.
Three pennants were really hanging at the corner of the prayer room.
The first pennant represented loyalty. The second pennant represented invincibility. The third pennant represented eternal good reputation.
Richard nodded. “I remember them. These are the three pennants that the war zone presented to Donald. Speaking of this, weren’t you there at that time? It happened on the first day of your return to the Southland District. Jade married a good husband. Donald is the deputy commander of the Eastland war zone. He is just under one superior. How great of him.”
“But Emma…” Richard cast a glance at Thomas and showed a look of disdain.
Thomas did not mind it. He just casually asked, “Do you think a deputy commander of the Eastland war zone is worth three pennants that were sent over from the warzone? Is Donald Brick good enough?”
He brought up the question that Richard had been puzzled about.
Yeah, was Donald good enough?
Honestly, Donald was not good enough. Not to mention, Donald was just a deputy commander. Even the chief commander of the Eastland war zone did not deserve such an honor.
Richard felt puzzled as favonovel.com said, “I’ve actually thought about it before. Donald really did not deserve it based on his qualifications. However, the pennants were sent over, and the person who delivered them also made it clear that they were for my grandson-in-law.”
“Wasn’t it meant to be given to Donald?”
Richard looked at Thomas with contempt. “That is a fact, and we can’t change it.”
Thomas smiled faintly as favonovel.com asked again, “Have you ever thought that the grand son-in-law they meant was not Donald Brick?”
Richard chuckled. “How many grandsons-in-law do I have? If they weren’t referring to Donald, were they referring to you?”
The atmosphere instantly became quiet.
Thomas did not answer. He just gently turned back and looked at Richard. The two of them stared at each other, and Richard’s smile froze bit by bit.
A strong shock vibrated in his heart.
Could it be?
Before Richard responded, Thomas said the second thing that shocked him.
“Oh yeah, Mr. Hill, do you still remember that a new chief officer in charge also came that night when the three districts were combined?” Thomas said indifferently.
Richard nodded. “I want to be acquainted with favonovel.com too, but I’ve never gotten a chance to see him. This chief officer in charge is too low-key. I can’t get the opportunity to know who favonovel.com is. I just know that favonovel.com came from the west coast, and I don’t know the rest. Even Donald, with his position, was not able to find out that person’s background. He is so mysterious.”
“I’m afraid that I might not be able to see favonovel.com in person.”
At that moment, Thomas flashed a faint smile and whispered the most important thing.
“Mr. Hill, now you’ve seen favonovel.com in person.”
