Chapter 494 Because He Doesn’t Dare to Do So
"Gasp…" The Wynns gasped in horror at Kingsley's words. As the chairman of the Roseland Chamber of Commerce, Matt was already a super bigwig in their eyes. At this moment, however, Kingsley actually demanded that Matt apologize to him! How arrogant of him to say that!
Taking a few steps forward, Clarence pointed at Kingsley and rebuked angrily, "How insolent! How could you insult Mr. Fox, you brat?!" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Other members of the Wynn Family chimed in, "That's right! Could this brat be a quack doctor?! How dare he speak of President Fox like that?"
"I think he started putting his foot in his mouth after being scared out of his mind by Young Master Nicholas!"
"Haha! I think he's purely bragging! He said he could produce 150 million when you guys went out to greet Young Master Nicholas just now!"
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Nicholas said with a scowl, "Indeed, you're pretty skilled in medicine, but don't get too full of yourself, you brat! The Fox Family's honor isn't something you can trample on!"
Kingsley threw his hands up. "It wasn't me who said that. It was your grandmother who said so herself. I won't cure her until Matt Fox kneels down, kowtows, and apologizes to me."
After hearing this, Mia held Nicholas' arm and said to Kingsley disdainfully, "What's so extraordinary about you being skilled in medicine, you brat?! The Fox Family can get whatever kind of doctor they want, so don't get ahead of yourself just because we complimented your medical skills!"
Kingsley let out a sneer. "Just go ahead and look for a doctor who can cure Old Mrs. Fox if you're capable of finding one. Not anyone can make me use my Gorgion's Nine Needles!"
Nicholas turned ghastly pale at his words. Grandma's already on the danger list. There's probably no one other than Kingsley who can cure her now! At the thought of this, he rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks and forced a faint smile. He said to Mia, "L-Let's not a-argue with him today…"
Both Mia and Clarence were rendered speechless by his words, while everyone else looked astounded. Why did Young Master Nicholas back down all of a sudden?!
"Honey? What's the matter with you?" Mia looked unwilling to take this lying down. "How can you let him off just like that? As the heir to the Prime Corporation, you can doom him forever with just a word!"
Before Nicholas could answer, Kingsley replied flatly, "It's because he doesn't dare to do so."
Silence fell over the entire room the instant Kingsley said so. Everyone thought he sounded like he was bragging, but the truth was right before their eyes. Indeed, Nicholas seemed like a wimp in front of him!
Nicholas' lips twitched; inwardly, he felt very depressed. How he wished he could kill Kingsley right away! However, he simply dared not do anything rash as Helen was still counting on Kingsley to save her life. "Uh…" He pondered for a moment before turning around with his hands holding Mia's shoulders. Then, he said with feigned affection, "Mia, I'm not willing to argue with him today because I have something more important to do."
Mia's heart began thumping wildly at the sight of his 'sincere' expression. "W-What is it?"
The next second, Nicholas instantly knelt down on one knee. "Mia, I'd like to propose to you! Please marry me!"
Whoa! All the members of the Wynn Family were deeply shocked by the scene before their eyes. Young Master Nicholas of the Fox Family has actually proposed to Mia!
Clarence burst into tears of excitement. At last, there was hope for the Wynn Family again!
Mia clapped her hands over her mouth as her face blushed scarlet. "H-Honey, d-do you really want to marry me?"
"Yes, I do!" Nicholas nodded vigorously. "I love you! Please marry me!"
Mia threw her arms around him without regard for everything else. "Yes, I'll marry you!"
For a while, everyone in the Wynn Family was immersed in a sea of excitement, except for Ysabel, who had jealousy and resentment written all over her face. She curled her lips and muttered under her breath, "Tsk! I think Young Master Nicholas is just fooling with her! How could the son of the Fox Family possibly marry a b*tch like her for real?!"
