Chapter 1216 What Are You So Proud Of?

Alec looked at Anthony and remained silent for a long time. He'd never expected such an

answer. Was it necessary to weave such a big lie just to keep Faye alive?

Moreover, how did Anthony know that he wouldn't be willing to pay for Faye's treatment?

At that time, Anthony was his confidant, and as long as he spoke up, Alec wouldn't refuse.

While he was silent, Anthony continued speaking, "Actually, I have my own selfish motives

for doing this. You always act so high and mighty, like you're a god from the heavens. But I

thought even someone as extraordinary as you could be outsmarted. This at least proves

that I'm not inferior to you-l'm just not as fortunate as you in my birth status."

Upon hearing this, Alec, who was feeling a little sorry, instantly regained his composure.

He looked at Anthony coldly and said, "So, you think that now that you're in charge of the

Wardleys, you're qualified to sit here and talk to me?"

Alec had been in Bardoff City for some time now, and if Anthony had wanted to show

himself, he would've done so long ago. But he didn't do that until now. It was a testament

to how patient Anthony was to be able to wait that long to appear before Alec.

"You're right. The Wardleys and the Fausts are both part of the Ten Elites in Bardoff City. I

don't think I'm any worse than you." Since he took over the Wardley family, Anthony felt

that he'd worked hard to elevate the family's status. The Wardleys were thriving now, so

he was definitely qualified to sit across from Alec.

Alec chuckled and didn’t hide his disdain. It made Anthony very unhappy." Alec, what are

you so proud of? What do you have to bolster your arrogance?"

Alec didn't say anything. He just felt that talking to this person was a waste of time.

However, Jenny wouldn’t allow anyone to bully Alec. She countered in a cold voice, "Stop

pretending. Even if you become the one in charge of the Wardleys, so what? Don’t you feel

very insecure inside? You don't think you can match up to Alec. That's why you're acting

so tough."

Insecurity wasn't something that could be changed overnight. Even if one's status

changed, the underlying sense of inferiority wouldn't just disappear.

Anthony's expression changed almost instantly, as if he'd been poked in a sore spot. He

pointed at Jenny and said, "Shut up! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? I've

made it this far with my own abilities. Unlike you, who just got lucky. If it weren't for that,

you wouldn't even be qualified to sit here today!"

"Why did she say I was acting tough? Why did she look at me with pity in her eyes?"

Anthony raged internally.

Jenny smiled and said, "Your own abilities? Didn't Faye survive because of Alec's help?

Didn't you come to where you are today because of your birthright? If you hadn't been

brought back to the Wardley family, you would still be washing dishes in some restaurant

now, right?"

"You..."

"Don't make yourself sound so noble. You're also a beneficiary of your identity. Don't act

like you're so superior," Jenny interrupted him, her eyes full of contempt.

Anthony couldn't say anything for a while because he knew very well that what Jenny said

was true. If the Wardleys hadn't taken him back, he would still have nothing today.

Seeing Anthony's reaction, Faye was a little worried and said, "Don't listen to her

nonsense. Even if the Wardleys took us back in, you achieved your position today with

your own abilities."

The Wardley family wasn't exactly peaceful. When Anthony first returned, no one paid

much attention to him. He was able to become the head of the family because he was

indeed capable.
