Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: What You Owe Me
He bent down again to collect the scattered bowls in the sink, stacking them neatly by size before covering them with a lid.
Louis Snyder watched coldly, his hanging hands clenched into fists.
"If you truly despise us, you can choose to move out of the Yarn family home," Roy Yarn straightened up, the corners of his mouth already tinged with purple bruises, but his spine remained erect.
Like a good student who would take any beating without hitting back.
Louis Snyder hated this side of Roy Yarn the most, "There’s no need for you to play the good guy here; I know all too well what the Yarn family is like."
Roy Yarn didn’t argue but simply continued, "If you decide to leave, remember to tell Grandpa and Grandma. As for Mom, I will explain it to her."
Oliver Quach, who had been the son-in-law who married into the family, had simply been allowed to call the Yarn family elders Grandpa and Grandma after Roy was born.
To avoid any gossip from outsiders.
Louis Snyder laughed, not showing the usual innocent harmlessness, but rather the defiance of a rebellious bad boy, "Kicking me out?"
Roy Yarn stopped in his tracks and turned to look, "You never liked the Yarn family anyway, did you? If you leave, you’ll get everything that’s due to you. The Yarn family won’t shortchange you."
Normally, he was a quiet and gentle gentleman, but as he spoke these words now, he exuded a cold indifference that pushed people thousands of miles away.
Outsiders often said that Roy Yarn took after his mother, Grace Yarn, gentle and peaceful.
But occasionally, his cold demeanor also resembled his father’s.
Louis Snyder sneered, his veins bulging on the back of his hand, "Roy Yarn, do you really think I care about the Yarn family money?"
Roy Yarn remained silent, and Louis Snyder continued, "This is what the Yarn family owes me, and owes my mother."
He was a man without principle to begin with, pretending to be harmless never truly suppressed his true nature.
Louis Snyder didn’t care about the exact details of the past, but he could tell that the entire Yarn family was reluctant to discuss anything about his mother.
Filled with guilt? Or perhaps remorse.

In the end, Louis Snyder returned to the Yarn family home.
He didn’t mention leaving, and Roy Yarn acted as if he’d never brought it up.
Of all the Yarn family members, Grace Yarn was the happiest.
Because Louis Snyder was finally willing to eat the meals she prepared, and he no longer acted as restrained and estranged around her as before. In their interactions, they really seemed more like a mother and son.
But even so, it couldn’t entirely ease Oliver Quach’s caution.
After all, he was a businessman, and his thoughts were bound to be more complex than those of ordinary people.
That evening, he called Louis Snyder into his study.
It was just after dinner, and Oliver Quach was brewing tea in the study.
The study belonged to the old Mr. Yarn, who had suddenly developed a fondness for tea in his old age, so Oliver Quach bought a whole set of tea utensils for him to keep in the study.
However, the old man lost interest after playing with them a few times, claiming that his own enameled cup was more convenient and comfortable for making tea.
Oliver Quach gestured for Louis Snyder to sit down, "I hear Grace is planning a birthday banquet for you?"
The Yarn family didn’t enjoy making a fuss, especially after the events of that year; they had hardly held any banquets at all.
The most recent event had been Roy Yarn’s coming-of-age ceremony a few years ago.
Louis Snyder sat down, "Isn’t that too much trouble?"
Oliver Quach glanced at Louis Snyder, didn’t say much, only smiled, "Not at all; we should have held a banquet when you came back to formally introduce your identity. Having postponed it until now, we’re the ones who should feel embarrassed."
A very polite remark.
Afterward, the two of them just casually chatted about light-hearted topics.
They never got to the heart of the matter.
