The Audacious Life of Arthur Grey Chapter 11
The Old Master, Albert Downey, was truly infuriated. He rushed out the door, knocking the door off its hinges in the process.Quentin slumped down on the chair limply.None of the rest of the Downey family dared to probe any further. So, they left one after the other.Only when everyone left did Quentin take a deep breath. Then, he dialed Naomi Downey’s number.…Naomi Downey was seated on the sofa as she glanced at the clock.Half an hour had passed, but nothing had happened.She picked up a cushion and tossed it at Arthur Grey. However, he was easily able to dodge it.Just then, her phone rang.Naomi was about to pick it up when her spouse shouted, “Don’t pick it up.”Then, he strode toward Yvette Larson and saw that the call was from Quince Larson.Arthur picked up the call.“Naomi, Grandpa is asking you to come to the office and accompany me to Starlight Inc.”“Naomi’s sick.”“Oh, it’s Arthur. I have something to tell Naomi. Put her on the phone.”“No, she’s sick an

After finishing his cigarette, Arthur stubbed his cigarette on Quentin’s hand.Only when the fire was out did he stand back up.Having received a beating, Quentin no longer dared to kick up a fuss. Nonetheless, he was terribly displeased.?‘Today, I’ve been beaten up by the good-for-nothing, matrilocal son-in-law of the Downey family! This is the greatest blemish in my entire life!’“Arthur Grey, just wait and see! I won’t let you off so easily!” Quentin backed away toward his car as he said that.“Remember to tell Grandpa that Naomi is sick and needs his car to send her to the hospital. He’d better come personally.” Arthur raised his arm, waving goodbye to him.By then, Quentin had already reached his car.Thinking that Arthur was about to beat him up again, he quickly rushed into the car, started the engine, and drove off.Hearing a din coming from outside, Naomi had come to check on the situation. But all she saw was Arthur waving goodbye to her cousin, who was escaping in his

“Hello, Madam Gill. What’s the matter?”The din drew the attention of many.The hotel staff rushed over.The general manager realized that the rich lady in her forties was the wife of the Ramsdale family’s Young Master, Samantha Gill.Although the Downey family wasn’t entirely unknown, they were still a second-tier family in San Francisco. The Downey family was far from being the protagonist of tonight’s party.The Ramsdale family was different; they were a renowned family in San Francisco.Now that the Ramsdale family had gotten into an argument with some unknown people, it was only natural that Carlos Peña sided with the Ramsdale family.“Mr. Peña, what’s going on? Ever since they entered, they’ve been eating and drinking. I wonder if they sneaked in without an invitation.”Carlos nodded, turning his gaze to Naomi and her party. “Please show me your invitation.”Naomi had only received a single invitation. Logically, she should’ve brought only one person in. But this time,

Neither Naomi Downey nor Melissa Flair knew the man who was bowing before them. They were still in confusion over where these two invitations had suddenly appeared from.However, Liam Ramsdale knew this man, and so did Carlos Peña.His name was Peter Grover; he was one of the most important members of Chicago’s Grover family and the right-hand man of All Stars Hotel’s boss, Andrew Grover.At certain events, Peter represented the Grover family as well as Andrew Grover. It was incredulous that he was bowing before Arthur now.Carlos Peña was dumbfounded and couldn’t utter a word. Even Liam Ramsdale was trembling slightly.Arthur was just about to step forward to receive the invitations when Samantha Gill cut in and snatched both invitations away. “These invitations must be fake. He’s just the useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Downey family. How could he have an invitation?”Before Samantha could open the invitations to take a look, Liam slapped her right in the face. “How much

“Naomi, let’s go. Follow me backstage; I want to meet this violinist. I love him so much! I think I’m in love!” Melissa was completely smitten. Naomi was dragged along to the backstage. But in the end, they were utterly disappointed. Arthur had already left a long time ago, and the other musicians told Melissa that they didn’t even know the violinist. After they left the backstage, Arthur walked over with two cups of milk tea. He handed one of the cups to Naomi. Then, he started drinking from the second. Melissa watched on in disbelief. “Isn’t that cup of milk tea for me?” “You’re not my wife. Why should I give it to you?” Melissa was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to rebut him. “Why don’t you drink from this cup?” Naomi felt a little awkward and handed her cup to her friend. “Forget it; it’s yours. Your husband bought it for you. When I find that violinist, I’ll make sure to get him to buy me a carton—No, a truck-load.” Melissa was full of confidence and determinat

Arthur had come to pick his wife up with an electric scooter, but it had run out of battery. In the end, he had even wanted to push her home.In the short span of a night, the entire Downey family learned of this situation.The next day, after Naomi Downey returned to the office, Kate Downey walked into the CEO’s office with a document. “Naomi, you’re a CEO. Why are you taking an electric scooter home? Hasn’t the company provided you with a car?”Naomi was fuming.?‘Of course, I could’ve taken the company car, but I had been trying to give Arthur an opportunity. Who would’ve known that he would screw up such a small matter? That is why I have become the biggest joke in the whole company.’Naomi was infuriated and swore never to believe in her husband ever again.Naturally, Arthur knew that he had caused a mess the previous day.?‘It had been an amazing opportunity. Naomi definitely would’ve hugged me from behind as I rode the scooter. In the end, I landed myself in this state.’‘Fo

There was a hidden meaning in between Kate Downey words. She was clearly trying to insinuate that Naomi had only managed to sign the contract because of her beauty.Quentin burst out into laughter and looked at Arthur, saying, “Arthur, I’ll give you a present. I wonder if you like being cheated on, but I guess you quite like it. Otherwise, why aren’t you angry at all?”Arthur ignored the pair. The more he tried to retort them, the more they would try to provoke him.It was meaningless.But the more Arthur tried to ignore them, the more they tried to annoy him by staying by his side.Arthur walked out of the lift and headed toward his wife’s office.And both of them followed him right into the office.“What are you doing here in the office?” Obviously, Naomi was still upset about what happened yesterday.“I… I got you a present.”Hearing that Arthur was gifting her something, Naomi felt rather moved in her heart.No matter what, she was his wife, after all. Which woman didn’t

But the moment Ruth Carlton’s family left, Sarah’s heart started aching for that sum of money.She started to blame Arthur Grey. “Why did you throw that punch? Look, because of that punch, our family lost 30,000 dollars for no good reason.”Naomi quickly stood up for her husband. “Mom, I’m sure we both know just what kind of people Ruth’s family are. Even without Arthur’s punch, their family would’ve found another reason to take this money from us. Besides, it isn’t even the first time such a situation has happened. If you really want to resolve the matter, you have to deal with the root cause of it. There’s only one solution: severing all ties with them.”“It’s not even the first time I’m telling you to do this, but you’ve never agreed to go through with it. Not only did Arthur do nothing wrong this time, but he even managed to help you gain respect as an older sister. Don’t you think so?”Sarah naturally knew in her heart that everything her daughter had said was true. However,

“Ms. Jones, right? One billion—I want to withdraw it right now. If you don’t have enough cash here, you’d better call your superiors and get them to send it over now. I want cash.” Arthur placed his Atlas card in Ms. Jones’ hand.In an instant, Ms. Jones was on the verge of tears.?‘A billion dollars. It’s true that an Atlas card holder can choose to withdraw any amount at any branch, but I don’t want that branch to be my branch. This is because I would have to take full responsibility for whatever happened in that case. Perhaps they won’t just fire me for losing this Atlas card holder. In fact, they might even kill me. I would be blacklisted from the finance industry from then on.’In fact, Ms. Jones was even worried that they might simply kill her because of their fear of Arthur Grey.Ms. Jones landed a slap on the manager’s face. “Scram! You’re fired! Get lost! Don’t you dare to show up here again!”The branch head’s furious roar attracted many dumbfounded stares.As onlookers

“Arthur Grey.” Naomi had thought that her husband would use this opportunity to fight for some benefits for himself, but he had asked for this instead!?‘It’s true. Everything he does is for our family.’Arthur waved his wife off, seemingly knowing what she wanted to say. However, he didn’t let his wife say anything.“Alright, we’ll agree to your request.” After a discussion, Ruth Carlton’s family finally agreed to Arthur’s request. “When are you going to give us the money?”“Tomorrow.”“Ok.”After what had just happened, family couldn’t stand to sit down for their meal any longer.As they left, Ruth turned back constantly. Perhaps her heart ached for all the seafood she had yet to eat.Once the family of three left, Sarah started worrying about money again. She started blaming Arthur. “You’re really a good-for-nothing. They were dealing with Mateo, so why did you have to step up? Our family now has to fork out 30,000 dollars for nothing.”Naomi rolled her eyes at her mother. “

Alfred Shelby thought that this was great, and he acted as though he was watching a show.He took great pleasure in turning someone against someone else.But Mateo was a nobody. If he could even touch Arthur Grey, the latter never would’ve become Master Atlas.Arthur simply flicked his finger at Weston Shaw’s neck. Then, the latter flew back as though he was a balloon that had been kicked.Thud!Mateo slammed against the wall and fell to the ground.Seeing her son getting beaten up again, Ruth Carlton flared up once again and starting yelling. “Arthur Grey, how dare you hit my son? I’m going to kill you!”Ruth roared, completely forgetting that her son had started the fight in the first place. It was just a pity that her son was too weak and was no match for Arthur.“Shut up.” Arthur’s gaze froze Ruth Carlton in her tracks.She felt a chill run down her spine.?‘Why am I even afraid of a good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law?’Unfortunately, she was truly terrified. It was a

Naomi Downey wanted to get up, but her husband stopped her. In the end, she sat back down.“I’ll fight it out with you since you dare to step on my son!” Ruth Carlton was an unreasonable person to begin with. Now that someone was stepping on her son, she rushed forward without any thought.But another muscular man gently pushed her back into her seat.Everyone froze.“Boss, what did my son do? How did he offend you guys?” Lawrence James was still sober and not drunk. As such, he stood up, wanting to learn about what had happened.The bald man slammed a wallet onto the table. “Your son stole my wallet. How do you think I should handle this?”“My son stole your wallet?” Lawrence James was dumbfounded.“Dad, don’t listen to their nonsense. I was in the toilet, and the wallet was on the basin. Finders keepers, so I took it. But now, they’re saying that I stole it!”The bald man chuckled. He opened the wallet in front of everyone and took out the identity card in it. “Look, isn’t t

Very quickly, Mateo found out where the seafood area was.Then, the shameless family of three headed over to take a look at the spread.“This looks good. It’s an Australian lobster, isn’t it?” Ruth pointed at a lobster while asking the waitress nearby.“Yes, these are authentic Australian lobsters.”“Alright, we’ll take seven.”The waitress was stunned. “Madam, customers usually order only one Australian lobster. It’s more than enough.”“What, can’t we have one per person? Do you think we can’t afford it?”“You misunderstood me, Madam. That’s not what I meant.”“Hurry up and put it aside for us then.”The waitress could only say that she had been enlightened today. She had never seen anyone order an Australian lobster for each person.“This—is this abalone?”“Yes, these are authentic abalones from the East China Ocean.”“We’ll take five kilograms of this for now.”‘Er…’?The waitress seemed to want to say something but restrained herself.“What’s this?” Ruth Carlton point

Naomi touched the front of the car—there was indeed a scratch on it.?‘It seems like it formed because of the accident. Although I didn’t pay for the car, my heart still aches.’In fact, her heart ached even more for her husband. He had clearly bought the car, yet her mom wouldn’t even allow him to touch the car!Even after Mateo had gotten into an accident with the car, her mom had chosen to blame her husband instead!She thought about how much Arthur had had to endure and tolerate in the past three years—things he shouldn’t have needed to tolerate.Naomi gave the matter some thought.?‘Have I ever thrown tantrums or scolded him for no good reason in the past three years? But I’m certainly not that kind of person. I’m an educated and useful member of society.’?However, she thought deeper about the matter. Then, she suddenly remembered about a dozen incidents where she seemed to have unreasonably scolded her husband just like she had done today.In the face of this unjust punishm

Because of Ruth Carlton’s provocation, Sarah Carlton grew even more dissatisfied with her son-in-law. She felt that her family had encountered so many troubles all because of him.?‘We’re the eldest family in the Downey family, yet we’re about to get kicked out of the family! Isn’t it all because we have a piece of trash that is Arthur Grey who’s dragging us down?’“Mom, can you be more rational? Do you really not know how much Arthur Grey has done for our family? Don’t waver just because Auntie is saying some things.”Sarah panted heavily; it seemed like she was truly infuriated.“Naomi, stop it. Look at how angry your mom is.”Naomi wanted to calm her mom down but was lectured by her father before she could even do so.“She’s trying to drive me to my grave. I’m going to die.”Naomi could no longer stand watching her mom throw her tantrum. “Fine. You can throw your tantrum for all I care. Arthur, let’s go.”Naomi Downey picked up her spouse’s hand and dragged him out of the ho

Of course, Arthur wasn’t saying that just to show off his affection for his wife. He wasn’t that lame.“This is my wife, Naomi Downey. She’s the Downey family’s eldest daughter and the Downey Corporation’s Deputy CEO.”As Arthur introduced his wife, Beatrice felt that the latter’s name sounded familiar.When he finally finished his introduction, Beatrice had an awkward expression plastered on her face. “You mean that she’s Naomi Downey and that you’re Arthur Grey?”He nodded.Beatrice’s expression fell even further. She seemed to have something to say, yet she didn’t dare to voice her thoughts.Even Arthur thought that it looked ridiculous. “Is there something you don’t dare to say? Do you mean to ask if I’m that useless matrilocal son-in-law everyone in San Francisco talks about?”Then, he nodded. “Yes.”Because he had been so direct, Beatrice’s expression changed to one of indignation. “That’s maligning you! That’s entirely false! Do you know who spread that rumor? I’ll help
