On hearing the surprising news that his relatives came to visit him, he was at first surprised, before quickly coming to a realization. He did not know if he should laugh or cry.
He should have expected it. He was no longer the insignificant Clark that he was 4 years ago; he now had an exalted status.
His originally cold relatives suddenly coming to meet him now no longer seemed surprising, if their motive was to come to lick his boots and make their relationships better with him.
“The words of the wise are always right”. He sighed ruefully.
Pursue greatness, and greatness will come voluntarily to you. This was the exact template of what was happening. He had never seen his relatives physically before, but now they were coming to him voluntarily.
Well, dwelling on such insignificant matters was not his style. He calmly sat down on his master chair, before telling his butler to let them in.
