The Audacious Life of Arthur Grey Chapter 38
“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

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

“It’s yours just because you saw it first? You didn’t buy it, so what if I’m buying it now?” The plump lady slammed a card down on the counter. “By card!”Seeing how prideful the plump lady was, the sales assistants were naturally over the moon.Naomi had been walking around the shop for more than half an hour. Although she had tried on several pieces, she had not expressed any intention of buying any of them.She was the kind of person that sales assistants hated the most. They felt that Naomi was simply a poor woman who couldn’t afford to buy any of their products. All she wanted to do was try them on for fun.In comparison to her, the sales assistants naturally preferred an old-fashioned, rich person like the plump lady, who didn’t even hesitate before paying for whatever caught her eye.“First come, first served. What do you mean ‘I saw it first?’ It was clearly in my hands. How could you snatch it away from me?”“So what if it was? I’m buying it now. Let’s see if they want

The plump lady was getting nastier with her words.Arthur nearly exploded in anger, but he held it in.?‘It isn’t the right time for me to reveal my identity just yet. My younger brother—Benjamin Grey—is still missing, and Peregrine Hall is still in a mess.’“Little Sister, who was so foolish as to have dared to bully you?” Just then, a man with a beer belly strolled into the shop.“Hello, Mr. Queen.” The sales assistants bowed to him.This was San Francisco Business Association’s Vice Chairman, Harrison Queen.“Brother, I’m sure you won’t be able to guess who he is.” Olivia pointed at Arthur and laughed. “It’s him; his surname is ‘Grey.’ Guess who he is!”Olivia was in no hurry to let her brother take revenge on her behalf. After all, she had finally met San Francisco’s legendary celebrity, the matrilocal son-in-law—Arthur Grey. It would be great fun!“Grey? I don’t think there are any prominent families by the name of ‘Grey in San Francisco.”“Let me give you another hint. Thi
The Audacious Life of Arthur Grey Chapter 43
Not only was Olivia Queen ugly, but she was also brainless. Her brother—Harrison Queen—had already humbled himself to such an extent, yet she couldn’t even read the room and had even said such a thing!Robin Hemsworth sneered. “Alright, the Queen family is so great. The Queen family of San Francisco.”With that, Robin Hemsworth turned to leave without paying any heed to Harrison Queen.Harrison was so frightened that his face turned ghostly pale. He rushed up to his sister and landed a firm slap on her face.“Brother…”‘Brother has never laid a finger on me.’?For a moment, Olivia was stunned.However, her brother couldn’t even be bothered with her. With a thud, he fell to the ground before Naomi Downey. “Ms. Downey, I’m begging you. You must help me put in a good word with Mr. Hemsworth. I know I was wrong. I’m begging you.”Thud! Thud! Thud!Harrison Queen repeatedly knocked his forehead against the ground, not stopping even though blood was now dripping from his forehead.H

The young man didn’t even spare Arthur Grey a glance and simply walked into the hotel after putting away his sunglasses.Arthur took a look at the Audi A6 before walking into the hotel without saying a word.“Hello, Naomi, Melissa.” This young man seemed to know Yvette Larson and Clarine Landon well. He immediately greeted them after entering.“Wow! David Donovan, you’re back?” Melissa was so shocked that she cupped her mouth.That young man named David stretched out his arms to hug Melissa Flair. Then, he turned to look at Naomi Downey.He stretched out his arms yet again, but she took a few steps backward.“I-I’m married. It’s inappropriate.” Naomi ran her fingers through her hair.Just then, Arthur walked over. He stood behind his wife, identifying himself.David’s gaze was cold as he scanned Arthur up and down with hostility. “Naomi,, I’ve been back for three days. My mother told me about your marriage. He must be that piece of trash, right? Why didn’t you wait for me? W

Mom, what are you saying?”The moment Helen Sander’s said those words, Naomi’s face soured.Even Melissa Flair stepped forward to lecture her mom. It was true that she shouldn’t have said that.“What, can’t I teach her something as an elder? Besides, you should always watch the company you keep! I don’t mind you being friends with Naomi Downey, but I’m really afraid that this piece of trash will ruin you, my precious daughter.”Naomi was fuming. In comparison to Arthur Grey—who was the subject of humiliation—she was much more furious than he was.“Auntie Helen, I’m leaving right now if that’s what you really think. I won’t allow anyone to bully my husband.” With that, she picked up her spouse’s hand and walked toward the exit.However, she was stopped by her best friend. “Naomi, don’t leave. It’s my birthday today; stay on my account.”Naomi stopped in her tracks and looked at her best friend.“Mom, why did you have to say such hurtful words?”Helen sneered. “Hurtful? Fine, I

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
