Chapter 411 The Contempt Of The Grant Family

+5 Bonus

The Grant family had hired several doctors over the past few weeks to treat their grandfather. However, most of them left in vain, unable to figure out his condition.

Currently, Louis’s biggest contender for the head of the family title was Maggie. As a result, he saw Alex as another enemy getting in his way.

Maggie frowned and said, “Louis, Alex is really skilled. One time, when my luck was really bad to the point that I nearly lost my life, Mr. Jefferson helped me alter my fortune. After that, my life is now sailing smoothly again! I can assure you, Mr. Jefferson’s powers are truly godlike!”

Louis snorted derisively. “Maggie, my little cousin, what grandpa needs right now is a miracle doctor, not a bloody fraud! These so–called geomancers pretend to be so powerful when they are just con artists. Pff, only naive fools could be duped by them!”

His words were a double–edged sword. Hearing what he was implying, Maggie’s expression grew unpleasant.

On one hand, Louis was suggesting that Alex was a fraud. On the other hand, he was insinuating Maggie was naive, too unfit to be in line as the future head of the family.

Maggie could read between the lines easily. Regardless, she tried to advise him, saying, “Louis, even if you don’t believe in such things, you shouldn’t be irreverent either.”
