Chapter: 850
With the help of Maria, he got out of the car and she wheeled him to where they found the bronze statue.
It was a bronze statue of an old man. At a glance, Maria recognized that it was Michael.
Speechless, Maria stared at Anthony with questioning eyes.
“This is my grandfather," Anthony answered her unsaid question.
“Okay.”
Why would the Wilson family build a bronze statue for Michael when he was still alive?
“Anthony, you're back’ A burst of hearty laughter came from not far away. Maria instantly recognized the owner of the voice.
It was Anthony's uncle, Raymond. Walking towards the two people, Raymond stared at Anthony with unfathomable emotions. He didn't bother to spare Maria a glance at all.
“Hey, Anthony, what do you think of the bronze statue I made for your grandfather? His name and achievements will perpetually be remembered by his descendants in this way. Do you think he would Like it?"
Anthony flashed a smile at Raymond.
Then his eyes gradually turned cold. Despite sitting in the wheelchair, he still exuded an imposing aura.
“You've built a bronze statue for Grandpa without telling him first. Am I right?"
Anthony's words sounded like a blast of freezing air straight from the depth of hell.
Even Raymond felt it, causing him to shiver a Little. The smile on his face froze as well.
“Well... I just want to give him a surprise! Why? Did I do something wrong?"
Embarrassed, he pointed at Maria and asked loudly, “Tell me, what did I do wrong?"
Maria believed that while Anthony's uncle was a useless person, he was good at passing the blame to others.
If she couldn't answer his question, he could just play dumb.
“According to the common folk tradition, if a statue of a person is built before their death, the descendants have to build a shrine in their honor and perform rituals of devotion and sacrifices. Only those who make unequaled contributions and achievements to the world deserve such worship."
After a short pause, Maria continued, "For people who don't deserve such treatment but own such a statue of their own, their normal span of Lite will be cut short."
Once Maria was done talking, Anthony spoke.
“It's common sense. Maria is still young, but she already knows it. Uncle Raymond, I think you should know it as well. Although Grandpa is the head of the Wilson family and has made great contributions to our family, he isn't a hero or a holy being to this world. Uncle Raymond, by doing this, do you want to shorten Grandpa's life?"
It could be the only reason.
What Maria and Anthony said had stunned Raymond.
