The identity of the man who was trembling and didn’t dare to sit down would definitely stun anyone if they were to see him. That was because this man was the head of Chicago’s Grover family, Andrew Grover.“Master Atlas, I…” Andrew attempted to explain himself, but the coldness on Arthur’s face scared him off.“Andrew, you should know exactly why I called you here today.”“Yes, yes. Of course, I do.” Andrew was clear that Arthur and his wife—Naomi Downey—had attended a party at his All Stars Hotel a few days ago.In the end, the Ramsdale family had even accused them of not having any invitations and having snuck into the party to get free food and drinks. Not only had the manager of the All Stars Hotel not stopped them from doing so, but he had even stood on the Fleming family’s side.Thankfully, Peter Grover recognized Arthur in time and had saved him from any embarrassment. Otherwise, he dared not even think of the consequences.He didn’t even dare to think about whether the G
Naomi slammed her fist down on the car. “If you two continue with your nonsense, I’ll exercise the rights Grandpa gave me and kick both of you out of the company.”Only then did Quentin and Kate back down a little and stop mocking Arthur.“Arthur, carry these things into the orphanage . These are the things our company is going to give the children later. Say, CEO Downey, you aren’t going to fire me for asking your husband to work for the company, are you?”Quentin was clearly getting his revenge privately. They had brought more than ten security officers, but he insisted on Arthur doing the job.Before Naomi could say anything, her husband waved her off. “It’s alright; I’ll move them. If Grandpa knows that our family personally got involved in charitable work, he’ll definitely be happy.”‘Since Quentin wants to take revenge on me, I will just take it in stride.’Arthur’s words caught Quentin slightly off-guard. This made it seem as though his family was less than Naomi’s if he
Initially, this had been a competition for all the prominent corporations and families in the name of charity. But with Arthur and Naomi’s actions, the event had returned to its original intentions.The children were all sobbing in the field.Some children hugged Naomi, pouring their souls out about how frightened they were when sleeping at night without their mothers.When Naomi finished putting all the scarves on the children, everyone else understood the situation.They had lost. No matter how many gifts or how expensive their gifts were, it didn’t matter.Arthur and Naomi had won something precious—hearts.When they returned, Quentin and Kate stood there awkwardly.Quentin had been clamoring about telling their grandpa to kick his cousin out from the CEO position and even kick Naomi’s family out of the Downey family.Now, Naomi had done the company and the family a huge favor.“Quentin, what were you saying earlier? Shall we go to Grandpa and let him know about this?” Alt
Arthur sat at the door and lit a cigarette.?‘Am I in the wrong? No, not at all.’‘Then, is Naomi wrong? Is Henry wrong? Or is Sarah wrong? No, none of them are wrong.’‘It’s my parents who are to be blamed. It is because of their bias that I was forced out of Atla Hall. They are the ones who forced me to go into hiding and act as a good-for-nothing, matrilocal son-in-law here.’Although he was capable of doing anything, he could do nothing more than endure the suffering now. However, even a saint would have an outburst eventually.‘Atlas Hall, Albert Downey, Quentin Downey, Kate Downey —Just you wait.’Before he finished his cigarette, Arthur heard a quarrel breaking out within the house. By the sounds, he guessed that his wife was trying to open the door to let him in, but Henry and Sarah refused.‘Heh, Naomi has truly suffered in the past few years she has been with me.’But by now, Arthur had already started to let go of everything.Eventually, Naomi managed to open the
Soon, chaos broke out in Saltcreek Orphanage.Countless children dropped the toys in their hands, while others rushed toward the booth with toys still in their hands.They were all headed toward the Downey family.Of course, Arthur did more than drawing watches for the children; that would’ve been boring.As such, he drew cats on some of the children’s faces, butterflies on others, and tigers…There was nothing within the children’s imagination that Arthur couldn’t draw.Ding-dong!With the ring of a bell, the second round officially ended.All the children of Saltcreek Orphanage were queued up before the Downey family’s booth.It was clear who had won.The Downey family had won both rounds of the competition.Naturally, the Downey Corporation and Larson family had won the ‘Best Charitable Organization’ title. Of course, all credit went to Arthur.Arthur didn’t stop drawing just because the bell had rung. He remained there, seriously drawing for the children.Quentin Down
The moment Arthur said these words, everyone stared at him as though he was crazy.‘Everyone knows that you were the one who landed Albert Downey in this state, and you’re planning on accompanying him throughout the night? You…’Bradley Downey disagreed and was about to voice his objections when his son quickly stepped in.He whispered, “Dad, just let him do it. It’ll naturally be great if Grandpa recovers; we won’t have to worry about him then. However, it might not be all that bad if something happens to Grandpa either.”“I’m the CEO now, and I currently have the highest position apart from Grandpa. Besides, if something happens to Grandpa when under his care, we can use that as an excuse to convince the other elders to chase their family out of the Downey family. Dad, think about it.”Bradley came to a sudden realization at his son’s words.He turned around and looked at Arthur. “Since you were the one who landed Dad in this state, I’m in no place to deny you the chance to ma
Visiting hours had yet to begin, and there was no way the nurse was going to let all of them enter the ICU ward at once.Wasn’t this being irresponsible toward the patient?As Arthur walked over with a bowl in his hand, he saw Quentin arguing with a nurse.Seeing Arthur walk over, Quentin pointed right at him. “He was supposed to watch over the patient, but he didn’t! We have reason to suspect that something could’ve happened to the Old Master. I demand that you let us in. What right do you have to stop us from entering?”Arthur took a huge bite of his sandwich and muttered under his breath, “What’s there to see? He’s already well and out of critical condition. I guess he’s already jumping about inside.”Although he said this under his breath, everyone had heard him. In an instant, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to glare at him.“Arthur, what do you mean? You were the one who angered Grandpa so much that he was admitted! Forget that you’re not even concerned about him, b
Grandpa was everyone’s grandpa. It wasn’t that Naomi was reluctant to fork out money for the party, but it was ridiculous for her family to fork out the entire cost.Quentin knew that her family was the poorest amongst the four families. He was clearly trying to force them into a corner.“What’s wrong, Naomi? It was your family that forced Grandpa to be admitted in the first place, and that piece of trash wasn’t even willing to take care of Grandpa. He slept soundly outside instead! Now, you’re not even willing to organize a party to celebrate Grandpa’s recovery?”“Naomi, I never thought that your family was so unfilial.”Kate—who was standing by the side—tutted. “Sigh, how did Uncle raise you? Naomi, is your entire family so unfilial? Forget it if you’re unwilling. Our family will pay for it; we’ll just take it as though Grandpa never had family like you.”Quentin and Kate were in perfect harmony as they tried to chase Naomi’s family out of the Downey family.Naomi felt aggriev
