Refusal To Sign The Contract

If not for the timing being inappropriate, Jack would have given Rebecca a round of applause. 

Her words were extremely sarcastic. 

"Mother, how can you act like this? You shouldn't have treated Grandpa like that earlier in the afternoon. If he lost his temper and decided to cut us off from the family for good, what will happen to us, then?"

Scarlet could not take it anymore and spouted to Rebecca. 

"What? Are you saying we can't provide for ourselves?"

"It's true that we can provide for ourselves. But who among this family is the breadwinner? My useless father or Jack, the good-for-nothing? We can't be relying on my sister all the time, can we?"

Lily hurriedly stopped Rebecca, who was about to slap Scarlet. She glared at her sister, who was about to speak more. 

Jack came in and held Rebecca back. He then inadvertently changed the subject. "Mother, did you not ask why Quintus came?"
