Mrs.Hunt became angry the moment Raymond said that.

She snapped, "Pete isn't autistic, Raymond! Don't you dare spout nonsense!"

Raymond curled his lip disdainfully.

"Yeah, yeah, Pete isn't autistic.He just doesn't like talking to people, that's all.Sigh, he can't just keep avoiding talking to people when he takes over the company in the future, right?"

Roger said, "Don't say that, Dad.Who knows, he may recover after he grows up.’’ 

Chester couldn't tell that they were mocking Pete.

Neither did he recognize that the child was his leader, and thought she was his quiet and reticent little nephew, so he echoed them and said, "Yeah, it'll be fine once he grows up!"

Raymond, however, scoffed and said, "That's what everyone said when he was a baby, but you don't see his condition getting any better the last few years, either...But I'm just worrying over nothing, of course, because Justin will definitely have everything all nicely planned out for the company in the future, right?"

He then looked at Fatty and reprimanded him.

"And you, too, Fatty.Don't just study all the time.What's the use of being so academic? All that studying has made you stupid instead.What matters the most as a leader is eloquence! How can you make people trust and believe in you if you're not eloquent?"

He was both overtly and secretly demeaning Pete.

All the other Hunts looked at Pete when they heard what he said.

Indeed, what was the use of a genius if he was autistic? Seeing that his words were showing effect, Raymond immediately became rather smug.

Roger, however, narrowed his eyes.

During past family dinners, Pete had either skipped it altogether and if he did attend, Justin would always lose his temper whenever someone mentioned the words ‘mild autism’.

Why was he keeping quiet this time, though? Could it be that...

He was still wondering about it when the little fellow in Justin's arms called out sweetly, "Hi,Great-Grandma!"

Roger: “???"
