The Audacious Life of Arthur Grey Chapter 23
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

Having said her piece, Naomi turned to take her leave, not giving her husband any time to explain himself.Arthur put the incense down and chased after her.Arthur and Naomi’s departure didn’t cause much of an uproar to the party.When the Downey family’s Old Master, Albert Downey, found out that Finn Taylor had given him a broken incense burner, he was so furious that he chased Henry Downey and his wife, Sarah away from the main table.“Brother Albert, don’t get upset.” Just then, a thick and resonant voice sounded out.Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see an old man with long, white hair and a baby face.“Robert Evans, you’re here too.” Albert Downey became emotional upon seeing the old man and personally welcomed him.This was the first time he had done so amongst all his guests.This guest was indeed worthy of Albert Downey’s actions. Robert Evans was a legendary figure in the whole country.He had once found a precious ancient relic.“Of co

The news of the ‘End of Heaven and Earth’ incense burner appearing at Albert Downey’s party made rounds around San Francisco. But nobody believed that Arthur Grey truly had the ability to spot valuable antiques.Everyone felt that he had simply been lucky. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day.A good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law was still a good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law at the end of the day.Because Albert Downey had his pride and refused to admit to his mistake, Henry Downey and his wife, Sarah hadn’t been invited back to the main table till the very end.As such, Henry and Sarah vented their anger on their son-in-law.They both felt that it was Arthur’s gifting of the ‘End of Heaven and Earth’ incense burner that had ruined the night for their family.Even Naomi had been cold toward him and was unwilling to talk to him over the past few days.At the same time, Naomi was constantly being bothered by her best friend, Melissa Flair.When Melissa wo

After Arthur ended the call, Melissa’s mind wandered back to that violinist once again.She was deep in contemplation.In the end, she gritted her teeth and sent him a message. It contained a single word: Ok.Time flew by, and the 20th was finally here.The moment Naomi arrived at the office, Quentin and Kate once again walked into her office on purpose.“Oh, the birthday girl is at work today. I thought you would go to the peak of Pacific Heights.”“Kate, do you think that any random Tom, Dick, or Harry can go to the peak of Pacific Heights? She shouldn’t even dream of doing that in this lifetime.”“You can’t be too sure about that. Didn’t someone rent the whole peak of Pacific Heights to celebrate his wife’s birthday today? I think Arthur isn’t bad. I’m sure he’s the one who rented the peak.”“Right, right; I think so too. Hahaha.”“Hahaha…”What followed was their thunderous laughter.Their laughter sounded evil, and it annoyed Naomi even more. “Can you both shut up and

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.

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
