This b*stard was downright vulgar!
Sheila and Arthur were seething with anger. They quickly rushed towards old Mr. Hunt to complain.
“You… You heard that, didn’t you, Uncle Timothy? Stefan was simply being disrespectful of us! Sheila only meant to
give them the golden lock as a special gift with pure intentions. It’s fine if they don’t appreciate it, but how could he
say that Jovan could be cut off from his children? You must grant us justice, Uncle!”
Sheila clung onto the armrest of the chair where old Mr. Hunt was seated, wailing as if the world was ending.
Arthur then added, bringing up his long-dead father to put more pressure on old Mr. Hunt, “My father died young,
Uncle Timothy, but before he died, he entrusted me to you. Although I’m only your nephew, I’ve always looked up
to you as my real father, so you can’t let your son and grandson bully me like this. If Jovan really is cut off from his
children, my bloodline will end with him, and in that case, my father will certainly have something to say about it
when you meet him in heaven!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Arthur…” Old Mr. Hunt began. “We both know that your father entrusted you to me…”
Old Mr. Hunt always remembered his dead younger brother fondly, so he was never able to take any firm and
decisive actions against Arthur Hunt and his family because he would always give in to them.
He heaved a heavy sigh and told Arthur, “You said you look up to me as your real father, so how could I not love
you as my own son? Ever since you were a child, I brought you up together with my children, and I even brought
Stefan and Jovan up together too. I’ve always distributed the responsibilities in H Group according to their abilities.
I’ve always been fair and just.”
“I know,” the old man continued, “that you were dissatisfied when I handed H Group over to Stefan and let Jovan
manage the branch overseas. I know that since then, you’ve been scheming and plotting to take over. I can turn a
blind eye to all that, but what happened today is different… I won’t interfere with what happened today. It is not my
right to take charge of this matter.”
Old Mr. Hunt turned to the butler beside him. “I’m tired. Take me back to my room. I’m going to take a rest now.”
“What… What do you mean?”
Sheila felt as if a rug was pulled off from under her feet. In the past, no matter how much they crossed the line, old
Mr. Hunt would eventually give in and take their side, so why did he give up his authority so easily today?
She quickly chased after old Mr. Hunt with tears in her eyes and snot on her nose, “Uncle! You can’t just leave us
like this! You must settle this! You…”
“Please step back, Madam.”
The butler blocked Sheila’s way, then helped old Mr. Hunt back to his room.
Now that the most powerful man in the Hunt family had given up his authority on the matter, Arthur and Sheila’s
pomposity and arrogance deflated significantly.
Arthur turned to his cousin and said, “Alexander, we can forget everything else, but you must tell your son to
apologize for the extremely disrespectful things he said!”
Alexander turned to his son, “Your uncle wants you to apologize, Stefan. What do you think?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStefan pursed his thin lips. His eyes were piercingly cold. He exuded such an intimidating air that the atmosphere
inexplicably tensed up.
“Sure, I’ll apologize, but…”
His eyes became even sharper and more ruthless as he stared straight at Arthur and Sheila. “Only after the both of
you apologize to my wife.”
Arthur was so infuriated that he slammed the table and roared, “What?! I’m your uncle! You want me to apologize
to someone younger than me? That’s an utter insult!”
Sheila shed off her mask and disdainfully spat, “Who is Renee Everheart anyway?! She’s just a down-and-out
woman who has nothing, and yet all of you spoil her like a princess! My son Jovan would never give a woman like
that a second look! And I will never let someone of her status to even step through the doors of the Hunt family!”
“Since you’re both so brazen…” Stefan’s gaze grew colder and colder till it was terrifying enough to induce
shudders. “Then I’ll make it clear to you now—if you don’t apologize to my wife today, don’t even think about
leaving this house.”
