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

Arthur and Naomi thought that these people who got out of the cars were the end of it. But in reality, this was just the beginning.Shortly after that, cars started driving toward them one after another.Mercedes Benz and BMWs were the standard, while Bentleys and Ferraris were common. Last but not least, a Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared.The car rolled to a stop as dozens of besuited and sunglasses-wearing bodyguards stood on both sides of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.The doors were slowly pushed open, and out walked a man. He was dressed formally and walked with a steady gait. “Ms. Downey, Master Donovan welcomes you.”Naomi Downey looked at the man with confusion in her eyes.Arthur gripped his wife’s hand tightly, providing her with some warmth and comfort.This man was Justin Donovan. To put it nicely, he was the adopted son of Cole Donovan, who was the Donovan family’s head.To put it bluntly, he was just the Donovan family’s dog.He used to be an orphan and was taken in by

‘The Donovan’s family’s shocking secret.?All eyes shot toward Henry Downey.?What happened to the Donovan family?’Along the way, they had already learned that Naomi Downey had been captured by the Donovan family.?‘But what does that have to do with the Donovan family’s shocking secret?’“I won’t talk about my daughter. I’ll cut to the chase and talk about the Donovan family. Three months ago, the Donovan family’s head—Cole Donovan—was diagnosed with end-stage lung cancer. It’s clear that David Donovan is back to inherit the family business; otherwise, he should’ve stayed on to finish his last year of college.”The members of the younger generation nodded.?‘So this is the Donovan family’s shocking secret. But how does this have anything to do with the Downey family’s survival? Is Henry Downey trying to scare us just to save his own daughter?’Although nobody dared to say a thing, their gazes made their thoughts clear as day.“I know what you’re thinking. All I can say is that you’

Even the audience was on edge while watching the game between Cole Donovan and Arthur Grey.Every move of the chess pieces felt like a stab to Naomi Downey’s heart.Although Naomi knew nothing about chess, she could tell that Cole Donovan was an experienced player who was calm and collected and made his moves quickly.This meant that victory was surely in his hands.Naomi couldn’t wrap her head around why her husband had even agreed to this contest in the first place.?‘Initially, it was much easier to settle the matter. I would’ve simply coaxed them at best or begged them at worst.’‘From Cole Donovan’s attitude, I could tell that he wasn’t really trying to put me on the spot. But now, he is only going to let us leave if my husband wins. This means that we will surely remain captives here if my husband were to lose. As a respected figure, Cole Donovan will definitely keep his word. Otherwise, how would he face others in the future?’The game of chess was still ongoing. Nearly al

Naomi Downey could hardly believe her ears.?‘I am Albert Downey’s granddaughter—his biological granddaughter. How can he not even care about my survival and even spout such words?’“Grandpa, don’t you think you’re going overboard with your words?”Quentin slammed the table. “Overboard? Naomi, watch how you’re speaking to Grandpa. Was Grandpa wrong about what he said? From the very beginning, it was your family who created this trouble for the Downey family. Do you know how many families in San Francisco look down on us because you married this piece of trash?”“Naomi Downey, you were clearly betrothed to David Donovan, but you chose to marry someone else. Don’t you think it’s your fault that you offended the Donovan family and dragged our family down with you?”Naomi wanted to laugh.?‘Why didn’t you say so three years ago, Quentin? Three years ago, he should’ve told the late Old Master—Simon Downey—exactly what he had just said. Perhaps, the late Old Master would’ve beaten him to

According to Sarah’s description, Arthur and Naomi quickly arrived at the site of the accident.But what they saw was Sarah arguing with a middle-aged woman. “Do you even know how to drive? Look, you almost killed us!”Sarah fiercely insisted that the other party intended to run into them and kill them.“Can you be more reasonable? I was driving perfectly well, but you guys ran a red light. Besides, I didn’t even hit you. Why do you keep trying to extort money from me? Are you a fraud, or is this a staged accident?”“What are you saying? Fraud? Staged accident? How can you say that you didn’t hit us? Can’t you see that my husband is lying there on the ground and can’t move?”“You’re so ridiculous. Both of us know perfectly well why he’s lying there. He was fine just now, but you told him to lie there.”“I told him to lie there? What proof do you have? Do you have a dashcam?”“Right, you’re only so arrogant and bold because you saw that I didn’t have a dashcam. If I had one, 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
