Chapter 2756
At that moment, the butler suddenly rushed into the house. “Sir, someone said they saw Master Nick back
in town.”
Arthur got up. “Are you sure?” Is Nick back?
“Yes, he’s at Winslet Manor.”
Arthur angrily slammed on the table when he heard Nick had gone to Winslet Manor. “He went straight to them after returning. Doesn’t he see himself as a Wickam?”
Martha was very anxious and just wanted her son to come home. “Honey, since he’s back, we’ll use him to trade for Noel. He’s the eldest of the family, right? Noel’s life is important!”
Arthur frowned and balled up his fist.
Not long after that, Nick and Mahina showed up at the garden. When Arthur saw that they were back, his face dropped. “I thought you weren’t planning on coming back?”
Nick looked calm. “If I don’t come back, you’ll blame me when the Wickam family has no descendants left. I can’t take that responsibility.”
Arthur paused and didn’t speak.
Martha looked at him. “Nick, since you’re back, there’s no time to waste. Go save your brother!”
Mahina suddenly chuckled. “Mrs. Wickam, Nick has no reason to help.”
“Who are you? You don’t have a say in this situation.” Martha was unhappy about that “Since when do outsiders get to give their opinions about our family matters?”
Mahina crossed her arms. “If you can’t see your son suffer, why don’t you save him instead?”
“You-”
“Enough!” yelled Arthur
Martha jumped, looked down, and didn’t speak.
He looked at Nick. “Nick, Noel is your brother, and you and your uncle both know Python. I believe he will let Noel go if you speak to him.”
Nick didn’t budge. “You wouldn’t care even if I needed to sacrifice my life?”
Arthur was startled. “Your uncle will be there. He won’t let anything happen to you.”
Nick closed his mouth and didn’t speak.
He would always say that his uncle would be there, but he would never say, “I will be there,” even though
he was his father
“Have you ever considered that if you give Python whatever he wants, he won’t harm Noel?”
Arthur’s face dropped. “What do you know? Python is a crafty man. Do you think that’s all he wants? He wants to run his freight business at our pier. If we let him, how many losses will we suffer?”
Nick chuckled drily. “So, the pier is more important than Noel’s life to you? That’s why…”
That was why he would be willing to give up on Nick.
Martha gnashed her teeth. “You’re crazy. If we give the pier to Python, the Wickam family will have to
kowtow to him in the future. Do you think the pier isn’t important because the family’s future doesn’t affect you?”
Her son had to take over the family business in the future, so if the pier was given away, her son wouldn’t be able to enjoy whatever they had.
They had already angered Python, so he would never let his son have a good life. Why would they want to hand the pier over to him anyway?
Python might one day come and beg her son for a way out.
Mahina rolled her eyes. That was why the Wickam family wasn’t as powerful as Sunny and Cooper. They were going to fall, sooner or later.
If the family gave the pier to Python, he would let things go upon seeing how sincere they were. The Wickams would still be able to survive when their relationship with Python wasn’t too bad.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
