Chapter 172
The Fox Family relatives began to jeer as well.
"That's right! Doesn't he know who Old Mrs. Fox is? How could he visit her with just a measly fruit basket that's probably only worth about twenty? Even I feel ashamed for him!"
"He's probably just a beggar from some low-income family who has never seen how the other half lives! Does he think that our family is the same as his poverty-stricken relatives?"
One by one, they all piped up to express their disdain for Kingsley.
Nicholas chortled scornfully. "Hahahaha... A beggar like you wants to help the Larsons? You're such a shameless wannabe!"
There was a flash of repulsion in Matt's eyes as he muttered, "The last time I met someone who was such a wannabe was also a guy named Nicholson! Really now, why is every Nicholson so deplorable?"
"Dad, are you talking about the chairman of Frost Corporation? I heard you mentioning him a lot when I was young."
Nicholas searched his memory. "What was his name again? I think it started with an I f N
X.
"Xavier Nicholson!"
Matt fumed. "That shameless wannabe's name was Xavier Nicholson! It's been nearly twenty years, and I still get so worked up whenever I think about him!"
"Hahaha... Dad, you're just trying to have your cake and eat it too." Nicholas laughed. "Didn't you say that our company, Prime Corporation only managed to grow this big because we swallowed up Xavier Nicholson's Frost Corporation seventeen years ago?"
Nicholas spoke very loudly for the sake of bragging in front of Kingsley.
He wanted Kingsley to know just how powerful the Fox Family's corporation was.
But he did not realize the implications of his words.
Kingsley's fists were clenched so tightly that his nails were digging into the palm of his hands.
Xavier Nicholson!
That was his father!
Matt had no remorse for what he did at all. Up till now, he was still humiliating a dead man.
And Nicholas even bragged about stealing Frost Corporation like it was their spoils of war.
Kingsley's eyes were pools of ice as he began to give off a murderous aura.
When Nicholas noticed the unnatural expression on Kingsley's face, he taunted, "What's up with your expression, punk? Scared shitless by how powerful our Prime Corporation is?"
Kingsley did not dignify Nicholas with an answer. Instead, he took a deep breath and looked at Helen. "Did you know about
Prime Corporation taking over Frost Corporation?"
The moment Helen looked into his clear brown eyes, she felt like a puppeteer was pulling her strings as she subconsciously replied, "My husband was the one in charge of the family back then. I
didn't know anything about the business."
However, she snapped out of it after replying and asked him curiously, "Why are you asking?"
"No reason." Kingsley's expression became neutral once more. "You're in luck, Old Mrs. Fox. Your time hasn't come after all."
The words meant well but were unpleasant regardless.
Helen turned red with anger.
However, Matt's expression froze for a second before he asked with a frown, "What do you mean? Could it be that you're related to Xavier Nicholson?" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"You'll know sooner or later whether we're related or not," Kingsley retorted icily. "I trust that you've heard this saying before— revenge is a dish best served cold!"
He did not give Matt a direct answer, but he gave him a warning instead as he did not plan on confronting Matt now.
Kingsley sensed that something sinister was afoot with the fire that happened seventeen years ago.
First, there were the Summers, then the Jacobs, and now the Foxes.
These were all influential families in Cleapolis, and all of them had received some kind of benefit from that incident seventeen years ago.
They were like pieces of the same puzzle that slowly came together in the form of the incident of the terrible fire back then.
By that logic, it meant that others must have been involved as well apart from Randy Summers, Felix Jacob, and Matt Fox.
Kingsley was determined to dig up every single one of these perpetrators and eliminate them all at once.
He would not be letting anyone who was involved in that incident seventeen years ago escape from the retribution they deserved. Not a single one could get away
with it!
Once he dealt with all of them, then the true mastermind would surely rise to the surface as well.
When Matt saw that Kingsley was deep in thought, he began to feel a little agitated.
He had heard the news about the Nicholson Family Cemetery being refurbished.
Could it be... that this punk in front of him was Xavier Nicholson's son?
