Chapter 38 Pascal's Decision
Seeing Xiao Peng present, Jacques naturally didn't dare lie and recounted the whole story to Marlene. The more he spoke, the more relaxed Fabian's expression became, while Marlene's expression grew uglier.
"Uncle Jacques! That's not what you told me when you came here!" Marlene said angrily.
Jacques smiled wryly and said, "I hope you can come and resolve this quickly! This matter can't get out of hand, otherwise it will have a huge impact on my sister! You will also be affected, so let's resolve this quickly!"
"What is Mom doing?" Marlene said angrily, "How could she do this?"
Jacques hurriedly said: "Your mother is also doing this for Felix's future!"
"It's 'money prospects', right?" Marlene sneered.
How could she, as a daughter, not know what kind of character her mother had! Otherwise, her father wouldn't have divorced her mother!
Jacques coughed twice and said nothing. He was also involved in this matter.
Xiao Peng looked at this scene with a smile on his face. Well, now he doesn’t have to run away at all!
Seeing Xiao Peng's smile, Marlene was furious: "What are you laughing at? Put away that damn smile of yours!"
Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Pascal spoke first: "Cousin Marlene, this is Marseille, not the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Besides, this is my home and Xiao is my friend. Don't you think you're meddling a little too much?"
Fabian's eyes widened. Is this what Pascal said?
Marlene was speechless and could only say angrily, "Where's Felix? I want to take him back!"
Felix, who had been eavesdropping nearby, jumped out when he heard Marlene's words: "I'm not going back!"
After hearing this, Marlene said angrily, "Felix, you don't listen to your sister anymore?"
Felix's eyes widened as he spoke, "I've become like this because I listened to you too much since I was little! You told me to do this and that, and never asked me what I wanted to do! When have you ever truly considered me? I'm only 13! I want to go to school! I want friends!"
Seeing Felix yelling like that, Marlene softened her tone. "Felix, I'll tell Mom when I get home! Will you come back with me? Even if you want to go to school, it's vacation time and there's no one in the school! Be good and come back to Paris with me! I promise we'll postpone this work here!"
Jacques got anxious when he heard this: "Marlene, there's a penalty for breach of contract..."
He couldn't continue speaking. Even if he was stupid, he could see the anger in Marlene's eyes.
But Felix said, "Marin, stop acting like a big sister all the time! You're just like Mom, always thinking about yourself! You always say you're busy with work, but when have you ever really been with me? When have you ever truly cared about me?"
After saying that, Felix turned around and ran upstairs without making any noise.
After seeing this, Jacques said to Marlene, "Felix is so ignorant! I'm going to catch him!"
Before Marlene could answer him, there was a loud bang on the table, which startled everyone.
It was Pascal who slammed the table: "This is my home! Let's see who dares to be so presumptuous!"
Fabian's jaw dropped when he saw this scene - Pascal slammed the table? This must be an illusion!
Jacques smiled wryly and said, "Pascal, Felix is my child after all. There's nothing wrong with us taking him back, right?"
Pascal sneered, "Family? Is this how you treat your family? If you really treated Felix as a family member, would something like this happen?"
Marlene said, "Pascal, I promise you this won't happen again. Felix was just angry today. We usually have a good relationship!"
"Really?" Pascal shook his head. "Are they close enough to the point where he cheers when his own sister gets beaten?"
"Puchi!" Xiao Peng laughed out loud. He didn't feel comfortable when Pascal was arguing with him, but it was still refreshing to see him arguing with others.
Marlene glared at Xiao Peng, but still felt a little ashamed and said to Pascal, "I know I didn't do well before, I will make changes in the future!"
Pascal said, "If Felix doesn't want to leave, no one can take him away! This is my home, I have the final say! Otherwise, let's seek the media's opinion on this matter."
The one who was most surprised by his words was Xiao Peng: "Dude, are you crazy? Why do you have such a little burden at home? Damn! Don't you have any special hobbies?"
Pascal didn't get angry after hearing what Xiao Peng said: "Xiao, I have reasons to do this!"
Marlene was anxious: "Why do you do this? I will take Felix away from you today even if I have to!"
Although Xiao Peng didn't understand why Pascal did this, he had to stand on Pascal's side at this time, so he sneered: "Haha!"
Marlene and the others looked at Xiao Peng. How could he have forgotten about this Tyrannosaurus Rex? With him here, who could possibly take Felix away?
The atmosphere was extremely tense. Fabian, who had been sitting there, spoke up: "Marin, calm down first. Can you listen to me for a moment?"
Jacques hurriedly said, "Fabien, you speak." The reason he was in a hurry to answer was because he was afraid that Marlene and Pascal would quarrel. He really didn't want to be beaten again!
Fabian said to Marlene, "Let Felix stay in Marseille for a while!"
"That's impossible!" Marlene rejected Fabian's proposal without even thinking.
Fabian wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he said, "Marin, don't be impatient and wait for me to finish. Think about it, if you take him back now, he might hate you for the rest of his life! I understand now. Felix is a good kid, but you're putting too much pressure on him, and it's not conducive to his growth. Anyway, school still has a while to go, so let him have a good vacation here. With all due respect, your family affairs aren't settled yet. Even if you take him back, he'll run away again. You're lucky to have Pascal and Xiao this time. If you were unlucky and met someone else, it would have caused a huge uproar and become a huge scandal for your family that you can't hide."
Jacques muttered quietly, "If we had met someone else, we would have taken Felix away! As for me being in this miserable state now..."
He couldn't continue. Xiao Peng was there, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table while staring at him. The psychological pressure was too great for him to express his opinion again!
Pascal also noticed this and tilted his head to say to Xiao Peng, "Xiao, do me a favor."
"What help? Beat them up again? No problem! I hate talkative people the most!" After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Jacques and the others were horrified and quietly moved towards the door, ready to escape at any time.
Especially Jacques. What does "I hate people who talk too much" mean? Is that referring to me? Is he targeting me?
Mom, Marseille is too dangerous, I want to go back to Paris!
