The World's Richest: My Journey to the Top

Chapter 2: Eccentric Family

"You!"

Sophia Christiana was about to explode, but she noticed that people around her were pointing at her.

"Frederic Brown, just you wait, I won't take care of you, someone else will!"

After saying that, Sophia Christiana angrily left with her younger brother, Paxton Christiana.

On the way home.

Frederic Brown received a call from his mother.

"Hello, Mom."

Frederic Brown's mother's voice trembled slightly, and there was a noisy background noise on the phone, indicating that she was using a public telephone in a convenience store:

"Hello, Frederic, how are the wedding preparations going? Is your mother-in-law still making things difficult for you?"

Frederic Brown's mother had met the Christiana family and knew that they were particularly difficult to deal with.

But for the sake of her son, she endured all the grievances and burdens.

Upon hearing her mother's voice, Frederic Brown smiled, "Mom. I have two great news to tell you, one is a huge piece of good news, and the other is not that big. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Frederic Brown's mother smiled, "Let's start with the smaller one first."

Frederic Brown laughed, "Mom, I won the lottery. I am the person who won the 10 million dollar prize wearing a Donald Duck costume that was reported in the news!

We are rich! I'm going to give you 1 million dollars right away for my father's medical treatment!

You don't have to work as a maid for others anymore. Just take care of my father at home. If you need money in the future, ask me!"

Frederic Brown's mother was stunned for a while before saying, "Son... are you... Are you joking with Mom..."

"Mom, when did your son ever joke with you, especially when it comes to money."

Frederic Brown's mother felt relieved, "Good! Good! Good son! You finally succeeded... Mom... Mom is happy for you..." Her voice choked up.

After waiting for so many years, her son finally made it, and she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She couldn't express her excitement at this moment.

Frederic Brown's mother comforted with a smile, "Mom, this is just the beginning. When I make a fortune in business in the future, you and your father can enjoy a comfortable life!"

After talking for a while, Frederic Brown's mother suddenly remembered, "Oh, Frederic, what is the bigger piece of good news?"

Frederic Brown didn't hide it either, "Mom, Sophia Christiana tried to take advantage of my father's hard-earned 200,000 dollars and wanted to use it to fill Paxton Christiana's pocket. I didn't give it to her, and we have already broken up."

Frederic Brown's mother was stunned, "This..."

Back in 2002, breaking off the engagement immediately after it was announced was not a glorious thing.

Frederic Brown's mother had mixed feelings for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Mom, this is good news! That b***h Sophia Christiana treated you and my father with such an attitude, I wanted to kick her out a long time ago!

Don't worry, when I look for a wife in the future, my first criterion will be that she must be filial to my parents!

Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry all these years."

Saying this, Frederic Brown's voice also choked up.

He really felt sorry for his mother.

Frederic Brown's mother sighed, "Ah... Frederic, you've made up your mind, and whatever you decide, Mom will support you!

Mom believes that you will find someone better."

"Mom, don't spread the news about my winning the lottery yet!"

After a few more instructions to his mother, Frederic Brown hung up the phone.

Not long after, the door of his rental house was knocked.

Opening the door, Frederic Brown saw Sophia Christiana, Paxton Christiana, Sophia's mother Elle Cox, and Sophia's father Karsyn Christiana, a family of four, standing outside his door neatly.

As soon as the door opened, Elle Cox pointed at Frederic Brown's face and started scolding him, like a shrew in a market, with spit flying around.

"Frederic Brown! Are you still human?

The wedding has been arranged! My relatives and friends have all been notified!

And now you want to break up just like that?

Why?!! Did you lose your conscience?"

In his past life, Frederic Brown was most afraid of his mother-in-law.

She was too fierce and could throw a tantrum at any time.

Every time Frederic Brown was in front of Elle Cox, he couldn't help but lower his voice and even didn't dare to speak too loudly.

But today, Frederic Brown, contrary to his usual behavior, spoke loudly:

"Elle Cox, get this straight. It was your daughter who said that if I couldn't come up with 250,000 dollars, we would break up.

I didn't initiate the breakup."

"Do you think I don't know? Your mother gave you a dowry of 58,000 dollars, and your father earned another 200,000 dollars recently.

If you take out 250,000 dollars, you will still have 8,000 dollars left!"

Elle Cox sneered.

"Earned? That was because my father had an accident on the construction site, broke his leg, and almost lost his life to get that 200,000 dollars!

I took it, but what will he do for the rest of his life?" Frederic Brown couldn't help but laugh in anger.

What kind of mind would say, "You will still have 8,000 dollars left!"

Paxton Christiana shrugged, not caring at all, "Isn't there still your mother?

She can still work. Just let her take care of your father, right?"

"That's right! Your mother is a farmer, naturally good at work and serving others. If she has nothing to do and no one to serve, she might feel uncomfortable!" Elle Cox said.

Faced with the daunting family, Frederic Brown sneered, "Get lost!!!"

"Frederic Brown! How can you be so heartless? I gave you my youth for these past few years. Isn't it worth 250,000 dollars?

Why are you so selfish?

Can't you consider me for a moment? Paxton Christiana is my own brother, how can I not help him?" Sophia Christiana yelled at Frederic Brown with an extremely aggrieved tone, tears streaming down her face.

In the past, Frederic Brown would certainly have felt heartache for this teary-eyed woman in front of him.

Unfortunately, Frederic Brown was reborn, and he had already seen through Sophia Christiana's true colors!

Even now, Sophia Christiana couldn't separate herself from Paxton Christiana, and still believed that she had done nothing wrong, thinking that sacrificing her brother was so noble!

Frederic Brown calmly smiled, "Am I selfish? Have you ever thought about my feelings? You only care about your brother, who is so much more important than me!"

Since that's the case, why don't you just marry your younger brother? It's a double advantage, and you'll save a lot of money!"

"Frederic Brown, what did you say?!"

Paxton Christiana became unhappy and charged toward Frederic Brown, ready to fight him.

"Huh, you useless piece of garbage, you still want to fight me?"

Frederic Brown immediately laughed, "All right, I'll teach you a lesson today about being a decent person!"

Frederic Brown was 1.8 meters tall, liked to exercise regularly, and had learned some martial arts in college.

While Paxton Christiana was just a useless person who liked to eat, drink, gamble, and solicit prostitutes.

How could he possibly be a match for Frederic Brown?

"Smack!"

"Bam!"

"Ah!"

With a slap and a kick, Paxton Christiana was sent flying and fell down miserably, screaming in pain.

Elle Cox hurriedly helped Paxton Christiana up and angrily scolded, "How dare you hit my son? Pay up!!! If you don't have 250,000 dollars, we will call the police and have you arrested!!!"

Sophia Christiana then said, "Frederic Brown, if you bring out 250,000 dollars today, I'll continue to be with you. Otherwise, this matter won't end!"

"All right, since you trespassed into someone's residence and tried to extort money, it seems like you're the ones who will be arrested if we call the police." Frederic Brown sneered.

"Frederic Brown!!! You really are heartless and forgetful!" Elle Cox turned green with anger.

At this moment, Karsyn Christiana, who had been silent, gently pulled Frederic Brown aside and advised earnestly:

"Frederic, don't get angry or anxious."

"We don't really want your 250,000 dollars, we just want to see your attitude."

"So, you give a 200,000 dollars dowry, and we will give an additional 50,000 dollars as a dowry. All the money will be used by you two for your life together!"

"Not only will you get a free 50,000-dollar dowry, but you'll also have a wife. Isn't this a good deal?" Karsyn Christiana's attitude was very gentle, and he had a friendly smile on his face, looking harmless.

If Frederic Brown didn't know from his previous life that this person was a gambling addict, he might really be deceived.

"Give a 200,000-dollar dowry?"

"Yes!"

"Do I give it first?"

"Yes!"

"Then you will gamble it away?"

"Yes! Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Karsyn Christiana's smile froze.

"Frederic Brown, what do you mean? Do you think I am that kind of person?"

"All right, with your whole family using both hard and soft tactics, deceiving and coaxing, don't you just want my father's 200,000 dollars to cover Paxton Christiana's debt?" Frederic Brown took a deep breath and warned, "This is my home, so get out now! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"

After saying that, Frederic Brown kicked the family of four out and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Having been left out in the cold, the Christiana family was trembling with anger, their faces turning pale.

"Dad, Mom, why isn't Frederic Brown afraid of you anymore? What do we do now?" Sophia Christiana said helplessly.

Paxton Christiana was even more anxious:

"Dad, Mom, what do we do now? If that bastard doesn't give out his dad's compensation money, I might end up in jail!"

Elle Cox stared fiercely at Frederic Brown's door, grinding her teeth, and said, "Your sister is so beautiful, even if it's not a 200,000 dollars dowry, even if it's 1 million dollars or 10 million dollars, there will be someone who will provide it!"

"Let's go! When Sophia marries a wealthy family, we'll come back and settle the score with this ungrateful dog!"
