The two siblings from the Zimmer family were arrogant with a haughty look on their faces as well as the contents of their words immediately made Grace’s expression turn awful. She was about to fall out and chide them right there and then.
Of course, she was aware of Easton’s intention. Easton’s father was Quentin Zimmer, who was also a governor of Michigan. On the surface, his official position was one level higher than Wayne’s, one was the first in command, whereas the other was the second in command. It was considered a downgrade for Easton to take a fancy to Phoebe.
However, there were reasons behind it.
The backer behind Wayne’s back was currently in the rising phase in Alaska, his future achievements were limitless. Even now, he was already a high ranking official. Moreover, Wayne Larsen was not a man who had chosen to follow a solidarity path. His family was located in Alaska. The family had powerful capabilities and intertwined relationships with Alaska.
On the contrary, Quentin Zimmer’s backer, who was his mentor, had passed away some time ago. As a result, no one else backed him. It would be extremely difficult for him to expand and develop further upwards. In addition, there was an old saying that an opportunist would abandon an unfavorable cause.
Quentin, who had no backer, was likely to be targeted, and his future would be difficult to predict.
He desperately needed to find new allies now.
Hence, he allowed Easton to pursue Phoebe. If the marriage tie was successful, not only would he not decline rapidly, but he could even make great progress, by borrowing the power behind Wayne.
Unfortunately, Phoebe didn’t like him. Similarly, Grace was also not satisfied with him.
However, now that Alex had made an appearance, her heart was even more biased towards Alex. If Alex and Easton were compared, they were simply incomparable, in her opinion. With the few words “Bro William’s son” alone could crush Easton.
However, Alex didn’t seem to hear the provocation from the two siblings at all. He glanced at Wayne, who was on the bed and asked Grace next to him, “Aunt Grace, could I check Uncle Wayne’s pulse?”
Although Grace was not convinced that Alex could cure her husband, she readily agreed. “Go ahead!”
In her opinion, Alex may indeed know some things about traditional medicine. However, if she had to comment about his proficiency in it, he definitely was not proficient. However, she couldn’t bear to refuse him!
Alex stepped forward, but he was then stopped by Easton in the half way.
“Hey, didn’t you hear anything I just said?”
Easton was just about to explode in anger. ‘This brat who appeared out of nowhere dared to ignore me. Is he tired of living?’
He glared at Alex and said, “I order you now, lift your head and look at me!”
Meanwhile, Viole turned to Grace and arrogantly said, “Aunt Grace, what kind of your friend’s son is he? He’s not discerning at all, he doesn’t even know us siblings? Losers can’t go any lower than that. Mingling with this sort of family would lower the standard of the Larsen family! Why don’t I call the shots today, the Larsen family will cut off all ties with this guy’s family today!”
When she said those words, Phoebe immediately burst into laughter.
She had long heard that this Viole was defiant, overbearing and unreasonable by relying on the advantage of the governor’s daughter. Phoebe had not really seen it before, but today she had the chance to experience it in person.
Meanwhile, Grace nearly exploded in anger.
She stared at Viole, expressionless. “You call the shots? Whatever family my Larsen family mingles with, I shouldn’t need an outsider to tell me what to do, right?”
Viole, who didn’t seem to register the underlying anger in Grace’s tone, said with a smile, “Aunt Grace, you really can’t tell the good in someone anymore! I’m doing this solely to help your Larsen family! A loser who came out of nowhere like this always jumps out and wants to take advantage of the little acquaintance in the past. Once or twice is fine, but some people just don’t know chalk from cheese, thinking that they can depend on others for a lifetime. Aunt Grace, you don’t have to hold back at all when facing this sort of person!”
