"I'm your son, but you sided with Marylin to against me just because she gave you three hundred million. Now you're all Graham Family lackeys!"

"What’s more, Myra and I are completely innocent. If you keep slandering her, don't blame me for turning against you!"
I slammed my hand on the table, stood up and challenged him furiously, "Do you think I paid to buy your obedience?"
He sneered coldly, "Wasn't it?"
