My Doctor Son-in-law, Clarence-Chapter 155 - Remus Plot!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Emmett’s statement confused Clarence.

Emmett smiled at him. “Maybe your ambition will be infinitely enlarged as you resist, and in the end, you may change your mind and want to inherit the consortium after all.

“Master has put in a lot of thought into how to inspire your ambitions, Young Master!

“At the same time, he has given the other heirs a chance to inherit the consortium if they can bring you down fairly.

“But you’d die in the process, Young Master.”

Clarence froze.

‘I’ll die if I don’t take the inheritance?

‘And all I can do is resist?

‘What the hell?!

Isn’t he just forcing me to resist?

‘What kind of father is he? He’s managed to dig a hole for my grave even after his death.’

Clarence thought he might as well have been an orphan. There would not have been so much trouble that way. “In other words, I’m going to have a lot of trouble starting from tomorrow.

“And they’ll come one after the other?”

“That’s what it means.” Emmett beamed at Clarence. “As you rise in power, rank, and status, the trouble will only intensify.

“It will come until you’re destroyed and you disappear from the world.

“Or until you’re strong enough to take over the consortium!”

Clarence’s mouth twitched. “You’re just forcing me to get stronger.

“Those who want to inherit the consortium are going to keep coming at me. I’ll die if I fail to resist them. My dad was ruthless. He could do this to his own son. No wonder he was able to become the owner of the world’s top consortium.”

Clarence smiled ruefully. “I’ll inherit it, alright?”

Emmett shook his head. “Young Master, I’m afraid that won’t work.

“These people began taking action when you and Miranda got divorced, so you have to confront them now.”

Clarence frowned. “What does Miranda have to do with this?”

Emmett frowned and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “It’s a little complicated. Young Master, haven’t you thought about it? Why Remus Murphy moved to Mediterranean City instead of staying in Beth City in his old age?”

The Murphy family in Mediterranean City was a subdivision of the Murphy family in Beth City, and Remus was the patriarch of the Murphy family in Beth City.

Armstrong was one of Remus’ bastards. After acknowledging his biological family, Armstrong returned to Beth City and met Peony.

The two then got married, but because Remus’ wife did not approve of Armstrong’s involvement in the Murphy family of Beth City, she gave Armstrong five billion for him to develop a career in Mediterranean City.

Though Armstrong was said to have been told to develop a career there, he had actually been sent away.

Mediterranean City was a metropolis, but it was like the countryside when compared to Beth City.

Armstrong had come to Mediterranean City with five billion and enthusiastically started a real estate company. Unfortunately, it had been poorly managed, and the five billion dollars of capital were soon reduced to two billion dollars.

Since then, Armstrong had become disheartened and henpecked.

In his later years, Remus unloaded his burdens in Beth City and passed the patriarch title unto his own son.

Surprisingly, instead of retiring in Beth City, Remus moved to Mediterranean City and lived with his bastard—Armstrong.

Everyone thought Remus had left Beth City for two reasons.

Firstly, he was afraid that his son would control his actions if he stayed in Beth City.

Secondly, he felt sorry for his bastard, Armstrong, and hoped to be able to make it up to him now that Remus had grown old.

‘Did it have nothing to do with those reasons? Was it because of Miranda instead?’

“Did it... have something to do with Miranda?” Clarence was slightly hesitant.

“Of course it does.” Emmett was solemn. “Half of the reason Remus came to Mediterranean City was because of Miranda.

“And the other half of the reason was you, Young Master!

“As for Armstrong...

“Young Master, do you think an ambitious and ruthless creature like Remus would come to Mediterranean City in their later years to make up for a bastard?”

Clarence looked stunned. “He came for Miranda and me?

“What do you mean?”

Emmett’s face darkened slightly. “Young Master, we’ve been looking for you for nearly twenty years without success.

“Remus found you before we did and made you marry Miranda.

“Once you married Miranda and revealed your true identity, the Murphy family would gain quick success. Need I explain the benefits the Murphy family would get from being related to the world’s top consortium?”

Clarence did not know whether to laugh or cry. “So when I joined the Murphy family, I wasn’t the one who didn’t deserve them, it was the other way around?”

“Of course.”

Emmett nodded matter-of-factly, looking solemn. “That old creature Remus took advantage of our consortium’s rules.

“If the heir got married, the marriage had to last three years before they could inherit the consortium.

“Remus probably thought that since you’d be with the Murphy family for three years, you’d help the Murphy family for old times’ sake.”

“Unfortunately, Remus didn’t expect my relationship with Miranda to be so rocky. He played his cards badly.” Clarence laughed at himself. “Why else would they say that God’s plans supersede our own? You can’t force love.

“The way Peony treated me… She called me an orphan, a little loser, a failure, and a nobody.

“The Murphy family’s daughters and sons-in-law also shunned me.

“Armstrong even blamed me and disregarded my dignity for Kaysen’s sake.

“Miranda never liked me. She’s been going on blind dates since the divorce. Remus’ plot has really failed terribly.

“What Remus didn’t take into account was that Armstrong and Peony would do all of that to me. He wanted the Murphy family to rise to new heights?

“Did it ever occur to them that the Murphy family would all die if I lost my temper?” A chill flickered in Clarence’s eyes.

It felt awful to have been set up.

Clarence now realized that his rescue of Remus had all been orchestrated by Remus.

Even his marriage to Miranda had been part of Remus’ plot.

Emmett said, “Young Master, you and Miranda are already divorced.

“If you want to go after the Murphy family, just give me your word, and I can condemn the Murphy family to eternal damnation. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

“Those who have mistreated you will come to a tragic end.”

Emmett spoke calmly, but Clarence believed he was capable of doing it.

Clarence was startled and quickly shook his head. “No thanks. I was just saying.

“I’ve been with the Murphy family for three years. It’s all over now. You don’t have to go after them.”

“Okay.” Emmett nodded.

Looking confused, Clarence asked, “I have one more question.”

“Yes, Young Master.” Emmett smiled respectfully.

“How did Remus find me first?”

Emmett looked at Clarence kindly. “Young Master, don’t you remember?

“Three years ago, you donated your blood once.

“Remus used genetic matching to find you before we did.”

“I see.” Clarence smacked his head as it dawned on him.

Three years ago, he had been buying medicine in the hospital when the hospital’s blood bank just happened to be having a blood shortage. There was also a life-threatening operation going on, so the hospital asked everyone present to donate their blood on the spot. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

Clarence donated 10 ounces of blood, intending to save lives.

That was when Remus found out about Clarence’s identity.

Then, Remus got into a car accident on the route Clarence always took. Since Clarence had donated blood, Remus knew that Clarence was not a bad guy and would save him.

If Clarence had hesitated for even a few seconds, Remus would have died.

Even after Clarence saved him, Remus died a week later in the hospital.

Clarence was secretly impressed.. Remus had risked his own life to set this up.
