...

Same time, Sokovia.

The dining table of the Maximov family has been filled with a whole table of delicious food. The sumptuousness has even surpassed the Christmas dinners of their family in recent years. However, the four family members sitting around the dining table are all extremely excited.

Quiet.

No one wanted to take the food, no one talked, no looked at each other, no interaction, and no smile.

They seemed to just want to wait for the food to slowly lose its heat and gradually become as cold as the atmosphere on the table.

Jiang Ge and Mary looked at each other and sighed in unison. In the end, Mary decided to take the lead in persuading:

"Wanda, Pietro, there is nothing wrong with the food. Besides, they don't want much. They just want us to recognize the identity of a child. This is easy for us, and the rewards are very generous. We have no reason to refuse."

"No reason?"

Wanda glared at her aunt and adoptive mother and said sarcastically:

"We will never have a reason to refuse, because they will take everything from us and then use those things that belong to us to buy us. It is our obedience that allows those rich people to ask for anything from us!"<

/p>

"We don't need to give in to live a good life. Wanda and I have found jobs now, and we don't need to accept charity from those rich assholes."

Pietro continues to support his sister who is ten minutes younger than him.

But Jiang Ge looked at the two children and said helplessly:

"But you shouldn't go to work now, and your future shouldn't be trapped here. You have to go back to school. If you continue to participate in those dangerous gatherings, it will only destroy your lives."

Mary also nodded in agreement:

"They not only provided a sum of funds, but also gave you two the opportunity to go to New York for further study. No matter whether they are rich bastards or despicable bastards, this is a precious opportunity."

After speaking, Mary forced a smile.

"Wanda, Pietro, you two have grown up and have your own ideas. I will not force you, but I hope you can cherish your own life. If my sister and brother-in-law were alive, I would definitely hope that you would accept this.

Opportunity."

Wanda, who was about to refute, fell silent instantly. Pietro looked at his sister distressedly, then shook his head at Mary and said:

"They... they won't make any decisions, they are already dead."

These words were like a violent snowstorm, instantly condensing everything on the dining table. Everyone fell silent, with only a faint sigh mixed with breathing.

Pietro obviously realized that his impulsive speech had hurt everyone at the table, but he could not say the words to apologize. After looking around at the people around him in embarrassment, he could only grit his teeth and said:

"But this food really shouldn't be wasted!"

After saying that, he took the lead in taking away the food and started gobbling it up.

The atmosphere at the table finally relaxed a little at this moment. With Pietro taking the lead, they all picked up their knives and forks to cut the food and began to enjoy this luxurious meal.

Wanda pretended to lower her head to swallow a piece of chicken, but secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she raised her head and said softly:

"I want to accept that opportunity. I want to go to New York to further my studies."

"Wanda?!"

The voices of the three people were different. Some were surprised, some were excited, and some were confused.
