This hag dared to put on an act and tell him what to do with his life.

“Did I say something wrong?" Mrs. Jenkins asked, her face clouding over.

She felt humiliated.

She was the matriarch of the Jenkins family and was used to being respected. She supposed her words would be valuable enough to have Anthony being grateful for her advice!

"Indeed," Anthony nodded before smirking. "To be exact, everything you just said is wrong."

There was a resounding certainty to his tone, a resolve that discouraged anyone from refuting him.

Mrs. Jenkins’ expression turned more glum with each passing second Anthony, on the other hand, remained calm and perfectly composed.

“Maria's birth does not determine her status. Everyone is born equal. I am quite surprised that there are still people who do not know this, especially those as old as you,” he said in a steady voice.

Mrs. Jenkins flushed with embarrassment. It was a slap in the face when someone much younger criticized her values.

But Anthony wasn't done yet.

“Maria might have only finished high school, but her knowledge and skills extend far beyond that. If you or anyone of your family have bothered to curb your prejudices for a moment and look Maria up online, you could have discovered she is a researcher at a prestigious scientific research institute."

Mrs. Jenkins looked incredulous when she heard this. Behind her, Barbara mirrored her grandmother's shocked and dazed expression.

Maria? A researcher?

And if Anthony was telling the truth, Maria was on par with university professors.

They had indeed grown arrogant over the years. Despite having summoned Maria back to the family for their own interests, Old Madam Jenkins had never thought about investigating the younger woman's background.

Perhaps, at the back of her mind, she had always thought that Maria was not worth Looking into.

“As for Maria's creations and her entry into the entertainment industry..." Anthony paused to relish the ugly expressions of the two people in front of him as they consumed everything he said.

“She is only doing it for her fans. She had long been wealthy and famous, with her fanbase spanning all over the world. They wanted to see her on the screen, so she decided to humor them to express her gratitude for all their support. They're the only reason she participates in reality TV and music industry, even her literary work.”

Mrs. Jenkins opened her mouth to say something, but it took her a few seconds to finally get a word out. "She has fans worldwide? Are you telling the truth?"

As exclusive as they were in the martial arts, Mrs. Jenkins wasn't oblivious to how the outside world worked. She had heard of how Internet celebrities on Twitter would spend money validating their existence online with the help of paid posters. Most of their fans were merely fake followers.

“It looks like there's no point in further talking.” Anthony snapped his fingers, and Jack immediately walked into the room, stopping behind his wheelchair

"I should return to Lemna Yard. If you have anything else you wish to discuss, Mrs. Jenkins, kindly wait for a few days before contacting my assistant and making a reservation."

With that, Jack pushed Anthony's wheelchair, and the two of them Left. Barbara watched in a daze. It wasn't until they were out of sight that she finally snapped back to her senses.

Anthony had a very commanding presence that she had completely forgotten about his disability.
