The Audacious Life of Arthur Grey Chapter 1
Arthur Grey, you can just say so if you don’t want to go. You don’t have to be so disgusting.” Naomi Downey huffed and grumbled at her misfortune before turning to leave. It was an outing day for the Downey family from San Francisco. Earlier on, Grandpa Albert Downey had said that he was thirsty and had asked Arthur Grey to get him some water. Arthur Grey was her husband. To put it more accurately, he was a son-in-law who had married into the Downey family. Three years ago, the Downey family’s eldest princess—Naomi Downey—had held the wedding of the century in her marriage to Arthur Grey. The wedding had rocked the whole city of San Francisco. The reason was that Arthur Grey was a matrilocal son-in-law and a piece of trash. It was the Downey’s family’s old master, Simon Downey, who had set this marriage up. That meant that nobody else had any say in it. Unfortunately, the very next day after the wedding, Simon Downey departed from this world. As such, Finn Taylor was plagued wit

Albert Downey played with the two pieces of jade in his hands. “Arthur, are you saying that this piece of jade is fake and that yours is the real one?”Arthur nodded. “Yes, Grandpa. Even though Quentin made a jade piece that looks identical to ours, his isn’t made of mutton fat jade, much less it being ‘Abundant Life.’ Quentin was meticulous and even prepared a sandalwood box for it to make it appear more expensive than it truly is.”“However, a fake is a fake. Any expert will be able to determine its authenticity. I’m sure Grandpa will be able to tell as well since you’ve been interested in jade for so many decades.”Quentin had the urge to rush forward to pumme Arthur to death at that moment.?‘Can’t he just shut up and not reveal all of my secrets? It’s only because I didn’t manage to purchase ‘Abundant Life’ that I had to create a replica instead. Although it isn’t made of mutton fat jade, it’s still a good variety of white jade. I even paired it with a sandalwood box.’He had thou

Under Arthur’s encouraging gaze, the Downey family’s disbelieving gazes, and the envious gazes of everyone else present, Yvette Larson hesitantly walked toward the stage.She handed the card over to the host.The host took the card and showed it to everyone. It was clear that the number on the card was indeed ‘520.’“Ah!” A piercing scream of envy resonated through the area, lasting for about a minute.The host waved his hand, gesturing for the audience to calm down. “Hello, may I get your name?”“Hello, I’m Naomi Downey.”“Oh, Ms. Downey. How do you feel about winning the grand prize?”Naomi was dumbfounded. In reality, she hadn’t been the one who had won. Her husband had, but he had given her this opportunity.“Delighted.”“Ms. Downey, this set of prizes looks like a dowry set. Ms. Downey, may I ask if you have a boyfriend?”At the mention of this question, the audience perked up their eyes, waiting to hear the gossip.The Downey family, on the other hand, was disgusted and embarr

San Francisco, in a certain Starbucks.In front of Arthur Grey sat an elegant and well-dressed lady.She sipped on her coffee and smiled. “Christian , I’m really happy that you’re willing to meet me.”Arthur sneered. “Christian? I’m no longer called Christian Grey. My name is now Arthur Grey.”“The good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Larson family from San Francisco, Arthur Grey.”“Do you mean you’ve already forgotten that you were the one who changed my name three years ago? Three years ago, you were the one who personally set up this marriage with the Downey family’s Old Master. You were also the one who sent me to the Downey family. Do you mean you’ve forgotten all about that?”This woman was Emilia Reed, the mother of Arthur. She was also the matriarch of the Grey family, which was the largest family of Atlas Hall.Emilia took another sip of her coffee, seemingly trying to conceal her nervousness. “Arthur—or Christian —this isn’t what’s important. No matter what, you’ll be my son f

Naomi Downey maintained her gaze on her grandfather, refusing to back down. Even she had no idea where she had gotten such courage from. Perhaps, it was the hand that Arthur had placed on her shoulder which had spurred her on.Everyone in the Downey family was stunned by Naomi Downey’s attitude.?‘Has she eaten something wrong today?’How can she speak to her grandpa in this manner?’Everyone thought that Naomi Downey was dead meat and that they were as well.But just then, the Old Master of the Downey family spoke up. “Sure. As long as you manage to secure us a deal, I’ll let you be the person-in-charge.”At that moment, everyone’s jaws dropped.The Hemsworth family was extremely reputable, and there was no way the Downey family could even compare to them. If Naomi Downey were to become the person in charge of the project, she would definitely be on good terms with the Hemsworth family. Then, her position in the Downey family would definitely skyrocket.But when everyone thought

“Just have a try if you want to.” Arthur indifferently opened the door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, even gesturing for his wife to get in.Seeing Arthur’s actions, Naomi was utterly shocked. “What are you doing? Didn’t I tell you to keep your hands to yourself?”She shoved Arthur aside, carefully closing the door.Naomi stared at her husband with a gaze full of resentment. “Do you know how much this car costs?”“I just want you to sit in it. Sitting in it won’t spoil it.”“Heh. Arthur , I didn’t know that you were such a romantic person. I would probably have thought that this was romantic if this was your car. Unfortunately, your actions are downright disgusting to me.”At this moment, someone who looked like a security officer walked over.Naomi’s heart thumped frantically. She thought that they had been found out because Arthur had meddled with someone’s car.If this matter blew up, she would definitely leave a bad impression on the Hemsworth family. Then, she could forget a

Even after returning home, Arthur remained in a stupor. Although vomiting had already been induced at the hospital, the doctor had told them that it was normal for him to remain drunk for a day or two since the alcohol had already entered his bloodstream.Groping his way around, he found his way up to Naomi Downey’s room on the second floor.Naomi had wanted to prevent him from doing so, but her strength was no match for his.Very quickly, Arthur arrived at his wife’s room. He crumpled down on the bed and wouldn’t budge no matter how much Naomi tried to tug at him.Naomi wanted to flare up at him but couldn’t say a thing. After all, he had only gotten into this state because of her.In the end, she chose not to leave and slept on the sofa that night because she was afraid that something would happen to him.The next day, Arthur awoke to see that his wife was still deep in her sleep. As such, he covered her with a blanket.But Naomi was awoken by that.Naomi’s first thought upo

Quentin Downey had been in deep despair but regained his excitement upon hearing Naomi’s words. He slammed the table. “You’re good! You didn’t even go to Starlight Inc., so how can you say that you signed a contract with the Hemsworth family? Don’t tell me that you’re so scared of being punished that you got a fake contract to cheat Grandpa.”Quentin’s words seemed to make everyone come to a sudden realization.‘It was no wonder Yvette even managed to sign a contract when we couldn’t even enter Xander Corporation. It seems like she is indeed cheating Grandpa.’?In an instant, everyone was filled with disdain.However, Naomi couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. She was sure that her grandpa would be able to determine whether the contract was fake.“Grandpa, how are you going to deal with Naomi now that she’s cheated you with a fake contract?”Albert Downey analyzed the contract closely. Then, he retrieved his glasses from his pocket and took an even closer look at it.In the e

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.

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
