Once I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed!

Chapter 2: First Time Being Called 'Dad'!

At this moment, Eleanor stepped forward and said to the old man: "Grandfather, Alexander is here."

Mr. Marshall, with a head full of silver hair, wearing a white suit, let go of Mary's small soft hand, without looking at Alexander, and said to the butler beside him: "Bring him the papers to sign."

"Yes, sir."

The butler went up to Alexander, took out a document, and coldly said: "This is the divorce agreement between you and Miss Eleanor. Sign it and Mr. Marshall will treat young Miss Mary. Rest assured, Mr. Marshall has found a donor for Mary's marrow, and you don't need to worry about the treatment costs."

Hearing this, Alexander's eyes filled with emotion, he looked at the butler with confusion and anger, then turned to Mr. Marshall and said: "Grandfather, Mary is my daughter, why not use my marrow?"

"Shut your mouth!"

Mr. Marshall shouted, his cold eyes staring at Alexander, gripping his cane: "Do you deserve to be Mary's father? Hurry up and sign, from now on, you and the Marshall family have no ties! Remember, her name is Mary Marshall, she belongs to the Marshall family, not the Reynolds family!"

Hearing this, Eleanor became anxious, saying: "Grandfather, I won't divorce Alexander, he is still Mary's father, I hope you reconsider."

Eleanor had been married to Alexander for four years, living under the same roof for four years, to say there were no feelings would be a lie.

Hearing Eleanor's words, Alexander was stunned.

It turned out, she acknowledged him as her husband, acknowledged him as Mary's father.

Slap!

The old man slapped Eleanor's face, angrily shouting: "You deserve a beating! When did you get to speak here? If you hadn't married a useless man, our Marshall family wouldn't be the laughingstock of Golden Harbor!"

The Marshall family members around also looked at her with cold eyes, a sneer on their faces.

Eleanor's eyes turned red, holding her cheek, she timidly stood aside.

Seeing Eleanor being hit, Alexander's heart tightened, clenching his fists.

His woman, how could she be bullied like this!

Then, Mr. Marshall glared at Alexander's flushed face and coldly said: "Without my consent, the hospital will not use your marrow, I have already bought all the suitable marrow for Mary, if you don't sign the divorce agreement, I will not treat Mary! Moreover, the treatment cost is more than 600 thousand USD, can you afford that?"

Hearing this, Alexander's heart trembled, the old man was truly ruthless!

Using Mary to force him and Eleanor to divorce!

Silence.

Alexander's heart was more filled with anger!

Eleanor also glanced at Alexander, her eyes red, with a few glittering tears at the corners of her eyes, feeling both disappointed and hopeful.

Her disappointment was that her husband did nothing at this moment.

Her hope was that her husband would resist, argue, take responsibility for this family, the responsibility of a husband, a father!

At this moment, Mary on the hospital bed opened her eyes, her face pale, her big lively eyes now dull, looking at Alexander standing amidst the crowd's scolding, and weakly said: "Uncle... it hurts..."

Uncle, his daughter could only call him 'uncle'...

Alexander was the young master of Dragon Sect!

He was the future Dragon Master!

But he couldn't even acknowledge the bloodline of his own daughter!

Just because he was useless, a good-for-nothing, a son-in-law living in his wife's family.

Hearing his daughter's weak, heart-wrenching voice, Alexander clenched his fist and said: "I will gather the money."

Hearing this, Eleanor's pupils dilated, her heart trembling, staring at Alexander's back.

He still had the appearance of a man.

Alexander turned, seriously looking at Eleanor who quickly turned away to wipe her tears, then left the hospital amidst the crowd's reproach.

"Grandfather, look, Alexander is really too insolent."

"Yes, grandfather, that worthless man dares to disobey you!"

The Marshall family members immediately fanned the flames.

Mr. Marshall just shook his head, saying nothing.

Could Alexander gather that much money?

Haha!

Eleanor watched Alexander's departing figure, feeling helpless.

Though she was a granddaughter of the Marshall family, all financial power was in her mother's hands, and this time it was the old man's order, even if she had some savings, she couldn't take it out.

...

At the bank entrance, Alexander Raynolds and Tiger Jones stood together. Tiger took out 600 thousand USD, handed it to Alexander in a cloth bag, and said: "Take it, use it first, no need to rush to pay me back."

Alexander accepted the bag, tears glistening, gratefully said: "Tiger, I will definitely pay you back soon!"

"Haiz, what are you saying, we're like brothers!"

Tiger Jones patted Alexander's shoulder, laughing.

"Tiger, if you dare to lend him money, we won't get married!" Suddenly, a shrill voice was heard, a beautifully dressed girl came over, filled with anger.

Slap!

She stepped forward and slapped Alexander, pointing at him and scolding: "Alexander, you really have no shame, how many times have you borrowed money from Tiger! You're not embarrassed, but I am!"

"Sienna, what are you doing!" Tiger anxiously grabbed the furious Sienna Payne.

This woman was Tiger's girlfriend, beautiful face, lovely figure, but with an arrogant personality, with a certain aura of disregard.

"What am I doing? Tiger, I'm warning you, if you lend him money, we won't get married!"

Sienna brushed Tiger's hand away, lifting her chin and crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Of course, a crowd had already gathered outside the door.

Tiger desperately explained: "Sienna, Mary has been hospitalized with leukemia and needs money urgently...."

"If that girl dies, so be it! Anyway, a worthless live-in son-in-law like him, who can't even recognize his own daughter, why are you helping him?" Sienna's words were like needles piercing the heart.

Alexander's hand tightened around the cloth bag, then he relaxed and stuffed the bag into Tiger's hands, laughing heartily: "Tiger, no need, I'll come to celebrate your wedding later."

With that, Alexander turned and quickly walked away from the place.

Behind him, Tiger's calls and an argument with Sienna could be heard.

Walking down the street, Alexander felt miserable inside. What should he do now?

At that moment, Eleanor called, asking him to return to the hospital.

Thinking it over, Alexander headed back to the hospital, meeting Eleanor at the entrance with a tense and worried face.

She ran over, handing Alexander a bank card, saying: "There are over 600 thousand here. I secretly saved it. Just say you borrowed it."

Alexander took the card, looking at the beautiful girl with delicate features, and suddenly felt warmth inside.

She was always so kind and gentle.

Four years, he had made her suffer for four years.

"Eleanor, I..."

Alexander choked up, never feeling more of a failure than now.

Since Eleanor married him, she had lost the glory of being the Marshall family's heiress and had become a target of ridicule.

Eleanor took a deep breath, feeling very aggrieved: "I just don't want Mary to lose her father."

Alexander's lips trembled slightly: "Thank you, I won't let you and Mary down."

"Ha ha, as expected, Grandpa was right. I knew you would secretly give money to this loser!"

Suddenly, Tommy Marshall appeared from the side, a cold and mocking smile on his face.

Caught, the two were done for!

Alexander frowned, watching Tommy swagger away, then looked at the anxious Eleanor. He softened his voice: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

In the hospital room, the old man was sternly criticizing Eleanor, and the card was naturally confiscated by mother-in-law Valeria, who scolded: "This worthless guy! No money and still wants to ask my daughter for money, truly garbage!"

Eleanor wanted to say something but was directly glared at by Valeria.

The Marshall family also joined in scolding, leaving nothing uncriticized about Alexander.

Suddenly!

A weak cry stunned everyone!

"Dad! Stop scolding my dad...." On the hospital bed, Mary cried, her big eyes filled with sparkling tears.

Dad....

This call of "Dad" deeply moved Alexander.

Since Mary was born, the Marshall family had not allowed him to interact with her. Three years, the longest time he had been with Mary was today.

And this "Dad" word, Mary had never called him before....

This was the first time!
