Chapter 1677: Chapter 625: Enjoying Family Privilege ans Bearing Family Responsibility
Andrew llon had imnse affection for Elza llon.
But when Andrew llon lay on his sickbed and saw Paul llon and Rachel llon walk in, his eyes revealed nothing but helplessness!
Paul llon and Rachel llon were not in their first marriages; both were in their second.
Rachel llon’s background far surpassed David Bruce’s; her father was the founder of Listerine mouthwash, amassing countless assets.
They were also part of the aristocracy in the United States.
As a result, the children from these two prominent families lacked ambition.
Paul llon was passionate about horse racing and art, while Rachel llon loved plants, birds, and fish.
Donnie understood why Andrew llon was disappointed in them; with a background like theirs, they weren’t focused on running the family business but were only concerned with a leisurely life.
If Paul llon weren’t Andrew llon’s only son or eldest, perhaps Andrew llon would be very pleased with Paul’s character.
However, Paul llon wasn’t!
No matter how disappointed he was, Paul llon remained his only son.
Andrew llon sighed and spoke to the two.
“I have already invited Block…”
Andrew llon inford Paul llon and Rachel llon that he had invited Tang Fei to beco the vice president and director of the llon Consortium.
He also reminded them not to vie for power with William llon!
Andrew llon initially thought Paul llon might have so dissatisfaction about this.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the news, Paul llon imdiately, pleased, said to Donnie.
“Block, with you overseeing the llon Consortium, that’s wonderful. I’ll move to Atlantic City soon to consult with you!”
Seeing his son like this, Andrew llon was nearly infuriated.
He knew very well that Paul llon said this not to learn business from Donnie but because Atlantic City boasted the most vibrant horse racing in the U.S.!
In fact, Paul llon had already frequented Atlantic City this past couple of years, where he owned an estate and had racehorses in the Racing Club.
Donnie t Paul llon’s attitude with a wry smile but did not advise against it. If Andrew llon couldn’t change his son, how could he?
“Alright, we’ll watch the horse races together then!”
“Great!” Paul llon exclaid excitedly, “I’ve told you, life isn’t just about business; there’s so much more.”
“Do you want to et God early?”
Andrew llon shouted, his face flushed red.
Paul llon instantly quieted down.
Seeing this, Andrew llon sighed helplessly and said, “Besides the matters just ntioned, there’s another thing I need to tell you both!”
Paul llon nodded, awaiting his father’s reprimand.
“The matter is that when your children reach the appropriate age, they should be sent to school in Atlantic City. I will write this into my will, and if they do not go, they will not inherit the llon Family’s wealth!”
Andrew llon said coldly. By now, he had figured it out; rather than relying on Paul llon, it was better to count on his grandchildren.
Michael’s achievents were evident to all, thus Andrew llon also trusted Atlantic City’s education.
He hoped a competent individual would erge from the next generation of the llon Family!
Paul llon had no objections, but Rachel llon asked Donnie, “Mr. Block, isn’t the education in Atlantic City a bit too intense?”
Donnie nodded, “Compared to other primary and secondary schools, Atlantic City’s educational program is indeed a bit tight, with many extracurricular projects besides the regular curriculum!”
In his previous life, Donnie had heard many say that Arican education was about happy learning, primarily to unleash children’s nature.
But in reality, once Donnie truly understood the education here, he realized.
The so-called happy education did indeed exist!
But this education mostly concentrated on the education of the middle and lower classes.
To a large extent, this form of education allowed the upper class to better monopolize their position, making the middle and lower classes stay their course, without overthinking.
For children of the real upper class, education was very rigorous.
Take Michael, for instance; though he traveled to Michigan with Donnie, he had a teacher in Donnie’s team to ensure he did not fall behind in his studies.
Moreover, Michael had to learn aristocratic etiquette, equestrian skills, golf, art appraisal, and other extracurricular activities.
His daily schedule was fuller than those children from the East in the future.
Rachel llon showed a hint of concern. Although she knew that Atlantic City’s education truly suited families like theirs,
neither of them was the perfect product of the upper class, so naturally, they didn’t wish for their child to beco such a person either!
“I just hope his life is happy!”
“Without the llon and Lambert Family’s assets, how would he be happy!”
Andrew llon bluntly tore away the facade of Paul llon and Rachel llon.
The two revealed expressions of helplessness.
Later, Andrew llon reminded them of a few more things, then let Paul llon call everyone back to the room.
