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

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.

    “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.

    Arthur placed the piece of jade back. He had no idea how Naomi Downey had gotten hold of it, nor did he know who was trying to deal with her. However, he would investigate the matter.Arthur was already fuming.?‘It doesn’t matter how others have treated me in the past three years, and it doesn’t even matter how they’ve called me a useless matrilocal son-in-law. I can tolerate all that, but I will never allow anyone to do anything to my wife.’Naomi Donwey was Arthur’s soft spot.“Is breakfast ready?” Just then, Naomi woke up. She didn’t notice the piece of jade missing from her vanity table.“Yes, it’s ready. Eat it while it’s hot. I’m going out to settle some matters.”“Again?” Naomi glanced at her husband suspiciously. She felt that he had been behaving strangely recently.?‘In the past three years, he has seldom gone out of the house. But recently, he has constantly gone out, saying that he has matters to settle. For some reason, I feel that something is amiss.’“Forget it. It

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

    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?

    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

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.

    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
