This b*stard was downright vulgar!
She and Arthur were seething with anger. They quickly rushed towards old Mr. Hunt toin.
“You… You heard that, didn’t you, Uncle Timothy? Stefan was simply being disrespectful of us! She
only meant to give them the golden lock as a special gift with pure intentions. It’s fine if they don’t
appreciate it, but how could he say that Jovan could be cut off from his children? You must grant us
justice, Uncle!”

She clung onto the armrest of the chair where old Mr. Hunt was seated, wailing as if the world was
ending.
Arthur then added, bringing up his long-dead father to put more pressure on old Mr. Hunt, “My father
died young, Uncle Timothy, but before he died, he entrusted me to you. Although I’m only your nephew,
I’ve always looked up to you as my real father, so you can’t let your son and grandson bully me like
this. If Jovan really is cut off from his children, my bloodline will end with him, and in that case, my
father will certainly have something to say about it when you meet him in heaven!”
“Arthur…” Old Mr. Hunt began. “We both know that your father entrusted you to me…”
Old Mr. Hunt always remembered his dead younger brother fondly, so he was never able to take any
firm and decisive actions against Arthur Hunt and his family because he would always give in to them.
He heaved a heavy sigh and told Arthur, “You said you look up to me as your real father, so how could I
not love you as my own son? Ever since you were a child, I brought you up together with my children,
and I even brought Stefan and Jovan up together too. I’ve always distributed the responsibilities in H
Group ording to their abilities. I’ve always been fair and just.”
“I know,” the old man continued, “that you were dissatisfied when I handed H Group over to Stefan and
let Jovan manage the branch overseas. I know that since then, you’ve been scheming and plotting to
take over. I can turn a blind eye to all that, but what happened today is different… I won’t interfere with
what happened today. It is not my right to take charge of this matter.”
Old Mr. Hunt turned to the butler beside him. “I’m tired. Take me back to my room. I’m going to take a
rest now.”
“What… What do you mean?”
She felt as if a rug was pulled off from under her feet. In the past, no matter how much they crossed
the line, old Mr. Hunt would eventually give in and take their side, so why did he give up his authority so
easily today?
She quickly chased after old Mr. Hunt with tears in her eyes and snot on her nose, “Uncle! You can’t
just leave us like this! You must settle this! You…”
“Please step back, Madam.”
The butler blocked She’s way, then helped old Mr. Hunt back to his room.
Now that the most powerful man in the Hunt family had given up his authority on the matter, Arthur and
She’s pomposity and arrogance deted significantly.
Arthur turned to his cousin and said, “Alexander, we can forget everything else, but you must tell your
son to apologize for the extremely disrespectful things he said!”
Alexander turned to his son, “Your uncle wants you to apologize, Stefan. What do you think?”
Stefan pursed his thin lips. His eyes were piercingly cold. He exuded such an intimidating air that the
atmosphere inexplicably tensed up.
“Sure, I’ll apologize, but…”
His eyes became even sharper and more ruthless as he stared straight at Arthur and She. “Only
after the both of you apologize to my wife.”
Arthur was so infuriated that he mmed the table and roared, “What?! I’m your uncle! You want me to
apologize to someone younger than me? That’s an utter insult!”
She shed off her mask and disdainfully spat, “Who is Renee Everheart anyway?! She’s just a down-
and-out woman who has nothing, and yet all of you spoil her like a princess! My son Jovan would never
give a woman like that a second look! And I will never let someone of her status to even step through
the doors of the Hunt family!”
“Since you’re both so brazen…” Stefan’s gaze grew colder and colder till it was terrifying enough to
induce shudders. “Then I’ll make it clear to you now—if you don’t apologize to my wife today, don’t
even think about leaving this house.”
