Quentin’s plan couldn’t get any more vicious. He had asked Kate to tell Arthur about the instigator behind the whole matter.What would he do after learning about it?Firstly, he could choose not to let Naomi know about it. Then, she would have to resign from her position.Once she resigned, Quentin would tell her that her husband had already known about the instigator behind the whole thing. It was just that he hadn’t told her about it.The couple was sure to get into an argument then, and they might even get divorced.What would happen then? It would be going against the late Old Master’s wishes.That way, Naomi’s family was sure to be chased out of the Downey family.His grandpa cared most about filial piety and the family’s reputation.Of course, Arthur could choose a different route: telling Naomi about the instigator.What would that lead to? She was sure to head to the Ramsdale family for a discussion to avoid having to resign from the company.This was what Quentin h
“Naomi Downey from the Downey family of San Francisco.” Arthur took the initiative to introduce his wife.The security officers seemed to be expecting them. They glanced at each other and gestured for them to enter.When the couple walked forward together, one of the security officers stopped Arthur. “Who are you? You can’t enter.”“Her husband, Arthur Grey.”Pfft!The security officers burst out into laughter. “Oh, you’re the infamous, good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law of San Francisco’s Downey family.”“You’re famous in San Francisco. I’m sorry for not recognizing you earlier, but you aren’t allowed to enter.”Even though Arthur had already announced his identity, the security officers refused to let him in.Arthur shrugged. “Alright then. We’ll visit another day.”He then turned to leave with his wife.“Why are you guys leaving? My subordinates are just incompetent. You could’ve just called out for me.” A man with a cigar in his hand was looking toward the gate from t
Ethan Ramsdale glanced at Arthur and shook his head. ‘This man is ridiculous.’In the past, Liam Ramsdale had thought that the latter had to be a prominent figure. After all, he had been respected at the All Stars Hotel.However, he had never expected him to be the infamous, good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law of San Francisco, Arthur Grey.There was nothing he could do right.It was humiliating for a man to live his life in this way.“Naomi Downey, are you a fool, or are you just pretending to be one? Look around you. Where are you? It’s the Ramsdale family’s house. You can’t blame me since you were the one who threw yourself into my arms. Piece of trash, you’d better scram. If you dare to stand in my way, I’ll get someone to break all your bones!” Ethan whistled, and immediately, four bodyguards appeared.They rubbed their palms while staring at Arthur, their gazes full of hostility.Naomi was afraid and shrank before her husband—she was scared stiff.?‘I never should’ve be
The Downey Corporation’s conference room.Albert Downey sat at the head of the table and glanced at the clock. “Quince, what’s going on? Half an hour has already passed. Just tell me if you have something you want to say.”His grandson had invited him here, saying that something major had happened in the family. It was so serious that it couldn’t be written in the books. However, he had been here for more than half an hour, but Quentin had yet to say anything.The Old Master was starting to get a little impatient.“Grandpa, the person Brother is talking about isn’t here yet. Just wait patiently.” Kate looked out of the door and realized that Naomi hadn’t arrived.As such, Albert Downey cut in. “I’ll give you another five minutes. If you don’t say it, I’m going back.”He slammed his watch on the table. The wait had made him uncomfortable.“Forget it, I’ll just say it. Grandpa, I received reliable information that the one who has been in the way of our collaboration with the Star
Naomi answered every single one of Quentin’s questions. They all pointed to the same thing—that Naomi was dirtied by Ethan Ramsdale.“You piece of trash, didn’t you go with her yesterday? Why can’t you even protect your own woman? You let your wife get raped right in front of you?” Quentin glanced at Arthur in disdain.“Naomi, you’re such a disappointment. I’ve decided to…” The Old Master—Albert Downey’s blood was boiling.He slammed the today, causing everyone to shut up.He was just about to announce that he would kick Naomi’s family out of the Downey family. Right then, the door of the conference room was opened once again.Three people made their way in. They were Robin Hemsworth , Liam Ramsdale, and Ethan Ramsdale in a wheelchair.Everyone was stunned. Nobody had any clue about what was going on.“M-Mr. Hemsworth?” Albert Downey recognized Robin Hemsworth, who was the head of New York’s Hemsworth family.The Hemsworth family’s Old Master had never expected him to show u
Initially, Arthur had wanted the four guardians to find the whereabouts of the beggar. If they found out about it, he wanted them to bring him back.But now that his younger brother, Benjamin Grey, was involved, he would have to get involved personally.It was inevitable for the two brothers to eventually fight it out over Atlas Hall.“How long do you need?”“I’m not sure.”“Why are you going?”“I can’t tell you.”“Will you return alive?”“I’m not sure.” Arthur answered his wife’s questions honestly.After her interrogation, she very much wanted to punch him to death.In the end, her thoughts were all condensed into a single word: “Scram!”Arthur stood up without feeling any anger and took his leave.For some unknown reason, Naomi Downey’s heart tightened the moment her husband walked out of her office.She walked to the window and looked downstairs to see her spouse walking further and further from the office building until he disappeared from her sight.At that moment,
“Call the boss over,” ordered the staff as he stripped off his uniform, revealing a muscular and toned body. “Why don’t you look at whose turf this is before trying to stir up trouble?”The staff thought that the man standing in front of him was crazy. How could he be so daring as to make a din here?His boss, Scott Barnes, was possibly the only prominent figure in San Francisco that had reaches across half the city. Did he have a death wish?The staff threw a punch at Arthur; it was full of vitality and strength.Arthur wasn’t at all interested in getting into a fight with someone like this. It would only lower his class.Robin Hemsworth immediately rushed forward and grabbed the staff’s fist.Crunch!Robin exerted some force, and the bones in the staff’s hand shattered.“You’re trained?” The staff had not expected them to fight back.“Oh, who dares to run wild on my territory?” Just then, someone strolled over—it was Scott Barnes.“Boss, these people are trying to stir up t
Naomi Downey rushed down and kicked her husband’s room open. Then, she picked up his quilt and threw it out.After doing so, she slammed the door shut.Even she didn’t know why she had done so.There was nothing between her and Arthur except for a title.In fact, he had already told her that he likely wouldn’t be back. Nonetheless, her feathers had been ruffled when he didn’t return home.‘Sleep!’?Naomi decided not to think about Arthur anymore and to go to bed.However, she tossed and turned. It was already three o’clock when she glanced at the clock, yet she was still wide awake.Naomi went downstairs once more and threw Arthur’s pillow and clothes out as well. Then, she returned to bed.Still, she remained wide awake at five in the morning.She once again headed downstairs and tossed her spouse’s towel, toothbrush, and toothpaste out of the house. Then, she returned to bed yet again.Finally, at seven in the morning, she was awoken by her mother’s piercing scream.Naomi
