Chapter 4 The Thin Camel Is Bigger Than The Horse
Chapter 4 The Thin Camel Is Bigger Than The Horse
Mond didn't bother to look at them. In his eyes, no matter who won, these people who fought for power
and interests just liked to please the public, were just like clowns.
For all these years, because of Noah's guilt to Mond, nobody dared to disrespect Mond. Although Elroy
and Nathan were jealous of him, they could bear it when they thought of the fact that since Mond had
been disabled, he was good for nothing once Noah was dead.
"Dad, I didn't mean to. I just said something wrong. Dad, I'm sorry." Seeing this, Elroy rushed to offer
his apology. He hadn't expected that he would be cheated by Nathan.
Mond looked coldly at the farce with his deep, cold eyes. However, although Elroy's mother was from a
wealthy family, she had been set up by Nathan, resulting in bankruptcy. Yet, others hadn't noticed that.
Although Mond had found out the truth from someone else, he didn't intend to tell more about it.
Mond didn't bother to deal with things that had nothing to do with him. Besides, he didn't want to get
involved in this affair, either. He thought that they could do whatever they liked to do!
"Honey, what's wrong with you? You scared Elroy." The woman, dressed in a red cheongsam, walked
gracefully with red lips curved, and her moist eyes seemed to be able to see through Noah.
When Noah saw it was Hilton, his anger was half cooled down. He said in a gentle voice, "Nancy has
pointed out that she wanted Mond to marry her. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Hilton giggled and said in a sweet voice, "That would be great!" The enchanting gesture
and the sexy voice did make Noah much happier.
"What? You mentioned Mond? How could it be possible? He just..." "How could Nancy like Mond when
he was disabled?" However, before Elroy could finish his sentence, he recalled Noah's expression a
moment ago. He had a fear feeling, so he had to give up explaining.
Noah then took Hilton's hand with his scrawny hand. He didn't take them seriously, but he stared at
Mond without any expression in his eyes. He said, "Mond, what do you think! Are you satisfied with the
daughter of the Nie Family? "
Mond's expression was very light, without any emotion revealed on his face, but he was very clear in
his heart.
'Noah asked him with concern. Obviously, he cared about him and gave him the Pearl of the Nie
Family, but he knew in his heart! The marriage between the two families was a marriage of
convenience. He even wondered whether Nancy would accept him or not.
If Nancy went against him, he, a cripple, would have to turn to Noah for help. If he had something to
ask for help, it meant that he could be used by Noah. Thus, Noah didn't have to worry about that he
would have Nancy and become an enemy of the Lu Family. In this way, Noah could pretend to care
about him on the surface and fight for the interests of the Lu Family on the sly.
What an old fox!' Mond sneered in his heart and narrowed his eyes, which reflected a terrifying light.
Seeing this, Hilton couldn't help but be shocked. 'A cripple could have such an arrogant spirit, but
fortunately, Mond was only a cripple, he couldn't fight against her son at all.
How useless his mother would be if she couldn't get Noah's love in this family, even though she was
from a famous and influential family. As for Mond, though his mother was deeply loved by him, she had
died for so many years and he must have been relieved from his previous unhappy memories, but now
he just felt guilty. Besides, Mond was a loser, so the Lu family would fall on Nathan sooner or later.'
Hilton smiled.
"Mond, Nancy is a beautiful girl. Do you want her?" Noticing that Mond didn't answer him, Noah got
restless and continued to ask.
Seeing this, a small figure came into Mond's mind unconsciously, with a girlish face and pure eyes.
Hearing no response from Mond after quite a while, Nathan turned to look at Noah and said, "Mond
has never been interested in women. I'm afraid that he'll let you down this time, but if Nancy doesn't
mind it, I'd rather marry her." Then he cast a glance at Hilton, hinting her to speak for him.
Of course, Hilton knew that it would benefit her son a lot if he married Nancy. But of course, Noah knew
something about that too. Before Hilton could speak, she received a glance from Noah to stop her. She
could do nothing but grit her teeth secretly, but she couldn't say anything.
"Dad, in my opinion! If Nancy feels wronged to be a concubine, she can be my legal wife together with
Monica." Elroy said without hesitation, only to get a cold glance from Noah.
Noticing that his mother had no way to persuade Noah, Nathan thought that he had to fight for himself,
so he turned to Elroy and said, "As for two legal wives, I don't think anyone else dares to think about
that. Can Nancy accept it?"
"Why would she refuse? I didn't let her be my concubine." Elroy retorted naturally.
"You..." Before Nathan finished his words, Noah interrupted him in a low voice with a frown. Silence fell
around them, waiting for Noah's order.
Without taking a look at them, Noah softened his eyes and looked at Mond, asking, "Mond, will you
marry Nancy or not?"
Mond opened his eyes and glanced around the crowd coldly. He knew what Noah wanted to do. 'It was
obvious that Noah wanted to throw Nancy to him. Noah would be in the most dangerous place if he had
given Nancy to others, it meant that he would have lost control of the whole Lu Family. Noah, an
ambitious man, wouldn't hand it over in a short time if he hadn't fallen into the soil.
Today, even if he rejected, Noah would find a way to let Nancy marry him. In that case, there was no
need to be so troublesome.' Thinking about it, Mond took a pen, quickly wrote a word on the paper and
handed it to Ron.
Then Mond gave a hint to Ron show the paper to the crowd. Seeing that, the crowd looked at the paper
where the words read "Marry..." …
The crowd were surprised first, and then a moment later, they were unconvinced. 'How could Mond
marry the daughter of the Nie Family.'
But the first one who couldn't hold back his anger was Elroy. "Dad, aren't you favoritism! What kind of
girl do you think Nancy is? How could she fall in love with Mond? "
"Anyway, he is my son. Why can't she like him?" As soon as he heard these words, Noah seemed to
become a little angry. His hands which were caressing Hilton's stopped.
Nathan also wanted to say something, but he was stopped by the hint of a glance from Hilton. When
Noah proposed to marry Nancy to Mond today, it was not because he was partial to him. Instead, he
was afraid. If so, it was useless for them to fight with each other.
"Never mind. Just send me home." Noah heaved a sigh of relief and didn't say anything else. He
ordered the servants behind him, Elroy felt bored, so he followed Noah to leave.
After they went far away, Nathan turned to look at Hilton and asked, "Mom, why didn't you let me talk
just now?"
After clearing her throat, Hilton let out a helpless sigh and said, "You know better than me, my son. We
are not as good as the Elroy's. Even though they are broke, the thin camel is still bigger than the horse.
There is a backer behind them. And Noah is the only one who supports us. We must be careful when
we lose Noah."
