Real life stories were often more exciting than television plots.
When people put together the three accidental deaths that spanned more than forty years, they felt a chill run down their spines.
When George questioned him in public, Mars' eyes flashed with a trace of fear.
But since Mars was able to run the ruined Anglo family to its current position, he naturally would not be flustered by George's baseless words.
His eyes were red, his voice was trembling, and his straight back was bent. Mars seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and he looked at George with a sad face.
"Son, I don't know why you have such dark conjectures, or if you have been bewitched by others.
But I, Mars Anglo, swear on the thousand-year reputation of the Anglo family that although my every wife and I were not perfectly in love, we were always respectful to each other.
If you want to split up and take back the property that belonged to your mother, I have no objections or complaints.
But … "
Mars' voice suddenly choked. His eyes were blurred, and he squeezed out two drops of tears.
"The thousand-year Anglo family is going to end in my hands!"
For a moment, Mars' sorrowful voice was heard all over the place. Many young people who did not know the truth could not help but sympathize with him.
In terms of age, Mars could totally be a grandfather to many of the people present.
Now, he was out of goodwill to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for his youngest son, but his six children betrayed him in public and forced him to split up.
Seeing her father like this, the soft-hearted Fifth Sister could not help but sob softly. She also began to doubt George's baseless conjecture.
If it wasn't for Fourth Brother holding her back, perhaps Fifth Sister would have switched sides immediately.
But did George really have no evidence?
"Hmph, what a big farce! The dignified Anglo family actually still follows such a broken rule until now.
This is the era of the Spirit Alliance, there is no need for such an old rule to exist! "
Suddenly, an angry voice came from the crowd. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and soon saw a potbellied old man slowly walking out.
It was him, Huo Guan of the Ryan family. He was the brother of Mars' second wife!
No one had expected that the second in-law, who was supposed to be the victim's family, would stand up and firmly support Mars when Mars was being criticized by the public.
Old Fourth and Old Fifth were visibly nervous when they saw their uncle, Huo Guan.
Ol 'Five cowered behind his brother, while Ol' Four lowered his head so that no one could see his expression.
Was it shame? It was still anger!
It wasn't over yet. After Huo Guan Ryan stood up, many people spoke up to defend Mars.
"Don't you children know how much Mr. Mars has contributed to the family?"
"That's right. You're eating your parents' meat and drinking their blood, yet you're shamelessly asking for a share of their assets. George, you're really an ingrate!"
"Not only that, I think it's five … no, six ingrates! The Marzu Clan's Patriarch truly has a hard life. "
"Where's your big brother? An elder brother is like a father. I think it's Zhimi who didn't discipline you properly. "
"I wonder what George has learned in the past few years. All he knows is to fight with his father for property. Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"That's right! Maybe he's been raised by the enemy. Mr. Mars has made many enemies in the past few years for the development of the family. "
"I think that makes sense. George must have been raised by the enemy and doesn't recognize his biological father anymore."
"How can such an unfilial son have the right to inherit the family assets? I think we can just kick him out of the family, and there won't be so much trouble."
"Yes, that makes sense."
"That's right!"
"I think it's okay."
"…"
George and the other four looked at the sudden change in attitude of the people below the stage in shock. For a moment, they thought there was something wrong with their ears.
Although they hadn't had time to produce evidence, the attitude of these collateral relatives and affiliated families was too strange.
In the entire scene, except for Mars's three other in-laws who didn't say a word, it seemed that everyone had changed their tune in an instant.
The most promising nephew, Zhimi, wasn't present. Although the Bolilang family behind Second Brother and Third Sister looked gloomy, they didn't take the initiative to intervene.
The Ryan family behind Fourth Brother and Fifth Sister was the first to defect. The support of their biological uncle had completely caused the two of them to fall into a state of complete isolation.
As for the Sasaki family behind George, although they wanted to defend George, George hadn't discussed this matter with them, so they were also caught off guard.
However, Uncle George had already thought it through. After this matter was over, he would protect George and send him away from the Calo area like a few years ago.
He would never let him come back!
As for the in-laws behind Manda, they were standing in a corner expressionlessly, sneering as they watched the farce of the Anglo family.
No matter what, the married Manda was still alive, and she didn't have any children, so they didn't have the right to interfere in this matter.
Of course, if the Anglo family really split up, they wouldn't mind letting Manda and Mars divorce. At least, they would get back the dowry that they had given away.
There was no need to be on good terms with a family that was so dilapidated that they didn't even have an heir.
But judging from the current situation … it was unlikely that they would split up.
George, the once-in-a-thousand-years genius trainer of the Anglo family, was still too inexperienced after all.
The curses and scoldings from the audience continued. George and the others had already been labeled as selfish, ingrates who loved comfort and hated work, and indifferent to kinship.
And the family rules that represented the face of the thousand-year-old family were also degraded by the crowd.
However, at this time, Mars didn't say a word. He just leaned against the podium and lowered his head, as if he hadn't recovered from the blow just now.
In just a short while, George had already figured out the key to it.
Most of the people present were attached to the main branch of the Anglo family and relied on the commercial industry developed by Mars to survive.
It was fine to watch the show, and it wasn't difficult to even take advantage of it to ask for more benefits.
But if the mountain that was the Anglo family collapsed, how could there be an unbroken egg when the nest was overturned?
The Anglo family, which had fallen apart, couldn't resist the strong invasion of other families, large financial groups, or even the Calo Alliance.
When that time came, most of the people present would face a huge survival crisis.
For the sake of their own interests, who would pay attention to those trivial matters?
It was just three dead people. How could they be more important than themselves who were alive?
George's body was cold. He trembled as he looked at the crowd below the stage, hating his last trace of mercy.
