Chapter 24
After cleaning up the office, Andrius went outside and unlocked a scooter using the app on his phone. He rode it back to Dream’s Waterfront.
Dream’s Waterfront was a high-end residential area, so no electric scooters were allowed inside.
Andrius parked the scooter further away and walked into the neighborhood.
When he arrived at the entrance of the house, he heard a little
commotion.
Athena was at the entrance, and she was smiling helplessly at him.
“Athena? What’s wrong?” Andrius asked.
“The decisions Ms. Crestfall made at the board meeting earlier somehow affected the uncles’ profits, so they came here to reason with her,” Athena explained.
Andrius frowned. He heard two loud voices from inside the house,
overpowering Luna. He knew Luna was at a disadvantage.
They were not here reasoning but arguing with Luna!
With the thought in mind, Andrius went in. His arrival attracted all the attention in the house. All of them shot a contemptuous gaze at him, especially the two women opposite Luna.
Andrius could tell that they were the ones screaming earlier. They were George’s and Dick’s wives, Janet and Deborah.
The two of them were from reputable backgrounds, but their mouths spewed the harshest words. They were relentless when they argued
with Luna.
Aggrieved, Janet immediately took it out on Andrius. She yelled, “Are you blind? Can’t you see we are discussing family business here?!”
Andrius’ expression turned cold. Had it not been for Master Crestfall, he would have given the woman a slap.
Janet continued harshly, “Why are you standing there? Get the hell
out!”
“Why? This is his house too, and you are the guest. You’re in no position to let him get out of the house.” Luna argued.
“Heh…” Janet’s son, Brent, interrupted scornfully, “He is just a poor guy growing up in the mountains who got lucky that we Crestfalls took him in. Do you really think that it makes him one of us?”
His contempt for Andrius further agitated Luna. She said, “One of us? All the board members supported my decision on the Valiant Institute project unconditionally, yet you and your mother come to argue with me about the profits? And you call yourself a Crestfall?”
“Shut up, Luna!” Brent jumped to his feet and pointed a finger at Luna. “If you want to argue, I’m not going to hold back. Luna, you are not even one of us. The blood in you is not even Crestfall blood. Everyone knows that your mother cheated on your father back then. That’s why you don’t even care about our family’s wealth and squander it at will!”
Brent diverted the topic of Luna’s background.
Luna clenched her fists tightly. She argued, “No, you shut up! My mother did not cheat on my father!”
Brent grinned. “Luna, there’s no point arguing about it now. You are not even one of us. You are a b*stard-”
Before he could finish, he was slapped in the face.
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat when they saw the red mark on
Brent’s face.
Andrius looked at Brent expressionlessly. He said coldly, “Apologize to my wife.”
“You… You piece of shit! How dare you slap-”
Slap!
Andrius slapped him on the other cheek. “I said, apologize!”
“You f*ck…”
Slap!
“I’ll kill you!”
