The Audacious Life of Arthur Grey Chapter 52
Nella Collins’ unique fragrance nearly threw Arthur off-guard as he started getting a little dizzy.He shook his head, trying to break free of that pain.But Nella merely smiled gently at him as she moved over to sit right next to him.Initially, the pair had been sitting opposite each other. But with Nella right next to him, it was inevitable for the pair to touch each other.“Auntie, you…”“What’s wrong? Aren’t we relatives? Why do you mind?”Arthur picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it over his own face as he shook his head vigorously. Then, he rushed off.Seeing Arthur in such a frenzy, darkness covered Nella eyes. “Humph, he’s just a piece of trash! If not for the fact that I need to help my son take down your family, you wouldn’t even have a chance to touch me, you piece of trash! I’m letting you off this time. Next time, I’ll surely accuse you of raping me. We’ll see how your family maintains their place in the Downey family when that time comes.”…A

“Sir, please leave.”Arthur had never in a million years expected that the manager—who had been very kind and friendly just seconds earlier—to chase him away after hearing that he was the Downey family’s matrilocal son-in-law.“So what if I’m that matrilocal son-in-law? I’m here to buy a car. Does it matter what my identity is?”The manager sneered.?‘It’s true that it’s my principle not to look down on anyone because even the most plainly dressed customer can be secretly wealthy. Unfortunately for you, Arthur Grey, you’re really too ordinary. You’re so ordinary that there’s no way you’ll ever have a chance to even prove yourself.’‘Everyone knows that you haven’t been allowed to sleep upstairs in the past three years as the Downey family’s matrilocal son-in-law. You even have to cook and clean every day. You’ve done everything remotely possible to humiliate all men. It’s embarrassing to even let you stay here.’The one thing the manager wanted to do most was to chase this jinx ou

Ms. Corbin?’?Arthur was stunned.?‘Has something happened to Priscilla Corbin?’ He got in the car and stepped on the accelerator, flying toward Pacific Heights. By now, Andrew Grover, Robin Hemsworth, William Corbin, and Joseph Rhodes all owned their own properties at Pacific Heights. Very quickly, Arthur Grey arrived at the Corbin family’s residence. Andrew Grover, Robin Hemsworth, and the rest were pacing up and down at the gate. Arthur could tell from their faces that they were worried sick. As he headed into the house, he asked, “What happened?” “Master Atlas, I’m afraid Ms. Corbin isn’t doing well. Dr. Vega came over, but he shook his head as well.” Arthur knew that the Dr. Vega they were talking about was Aaron Vega. He was the most renowned doctor in the entire world and was known to raise people from the dead. But even Aaron Vega had shook his head this time. Arthur walked into Priscilla Corbin room, but the rest did not follow. They stood outside the door, not allowi

“Ack!”Everyone outside the room clearly heard Priscilla Corbin vomiting blood.Her brother flew into the room frenziedly, but he was greeted by an unexpected sight.After vomiting that blood clot out, Priscilla now looked much better. As she lay there and saw her brother rush in, she sneered.The pitiful weeping beauty in front of him pained his heart.?‘My sister has suffered through too much while staying by my side. There are many who envy me because of my position as the head of Seattle’s Corbin family and Thunderbird of Atlas Hall. But nobody knows that my deepest desire is simply for my sister to live a peaceful life. At that time, I had only entered Atlas Hall because they had saved my sister.’Arthur Grey remained outside the room; he was in no hurry at all.Everything was under his control.He had initially intended to stay the night to watch over Priscilla. But now that she had already vomited blood, he could put his mind to rest.Arthur strolled into the room.When

Naomi Downey hummed as she walked out with a trash bag. Then, she spotted her husband lighting a cigarette in a car.She tossed the trash bag into the trash can next to her and walked straight up to Arthur Grey. There was an indecipherable smile on her face.Arthur felt his hair stand on end as he caught a glimpse of that smile.“Not bad, Mr. Grey. You’re even driving such a luxurious car now.”Arthur was so frightened that he immediately got out of the car and stubbed his cigarette.“Explain yourself.” Naomi was polite and still had a smile on her face.Arthur picked up the cigarette and walked toward the trash can.“Where are you going?”“To throw this cigarette away.”Thud!Naomi slammed her fist down on the car. “Stop right there!”Arthur Grey—Master Atlas, head of Atlas Hall—stopped in his tracks, not daring to move the slightest bit.“Tell me what’s with this car.”“Oh, the car. Would you believe me if I said that I won it in a lucky draw?”Naomi’s smile got more ch

Naomi Downey could no longer take it.?‘My husband has made great contributions to our family. Does my mom think it’s very easy to wash the clothes, cook our meals, and clean the house every day? There were many times that my significant other paid for our food out of his own pockets. In fact, it was my husband who had gotten me this position as the Deputy CEO.‘Also, he had clearly purchased this car with his own money. Mom was going overboard by telling him not to even touch the car. Now, she’s even saying such hurtful things.’“Mom…” Naomi shouted, wanting to blurt out the truth so that her mom would treat her husband better in the future.However, Arthur walked up to stop her. “Yes, Mom. You’re right. I’ll remember whatever you said.”“Go away then; don’t stand in my way. Naomi, what did you want to say?”Naomi paused for a moment but chose to respect her husband’s decision. “Nothing much. I’m tired, so I’m going back to rest. You can look at the car all you want.”With that,

“Forget it; I’ll let you drive. Will that do?” Arthur Grey got out of the car and headed to the front passenger seat.Mateo was overwhelmed with emotion as he heard those words. After getting into the driver’s seat, he looked and felt around, wanting nothing more than to steal that car key.“Aren’t we leaving?” Arthur glanced at Mateo.?‘He’s like a country bumpkin who is seeing the world for the first time.’“Alright, alright. Let’s go.” Mateo stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew off.Earlier on, Arthur had been slightly worried that Mateo didn’t know how to drive. But after they moved off, he realized that the latter drove rather steadily.However, he thought about it again.?‘Mateo James cares a lot about appearances. Even though their family doesn’t have a car, he probably rents a car often. Of course, the ones he rents can’t compare to this BMW 5 series.’“Arthur Grey, your family seems quite rich now. You guys can even afford a BMW?” They hadn’t driven far before Ruth

As expected, Ruth Carlton’s words were effective.Sarah Carlton—who was on the other end of the call—exploded. “What? Arthur, you hit someone with the car? Do you want to die? Where are you? Did you damage the car…”Arthur could feel her murderous intent even through the phone.?‘It seems like I won’t be able to clear the air on the phone. We need to have this conversation face-to-face.’As such, Arthur told her the address.Within ten minutes, Sarah, Henry, and Naomiarrived.Without saying a word, Sarah rushed up to slap her son-in-law in the face without any hesitation. “Arthur, what did I tell you before you left? You still damaged the car!”Sarah glanced at the car; there were indeed a few scratches.Her heart ached, and she was about to slap him a second time when her daughter grabbed her arm. “Alright. Let’s find out what happened first.”“Humph!” Sarah was utterly displeased with her daughter’s actions.“How is it? Are you hurt?” Naomi knew that her husband was the one

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
