Aria was still in a daze, while Dominic’s expression was already dark. Someone as smart as him could tell from this that they might not be able to leave today.
Then, Old Master Cross quickly appeared in the living room. He was holding his walking stick and chasing after Dennis, seeming like he wanted to beat him up. Thanks to his grandson, it appeared that his legs were still working fine.
Aria felt that Old Master Cross was running toward her aggressively. She was afraid that he would accidentally hurt her, so she sought her husband’s protection. She slowly approached her husband and said softly, “Husband, I’m afraid…”
Her whisper went right to his heart. Dominic’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He pulled his wife behind him to protect her from getting accidentally hurt.
Still, she was very curious about what was happening. Even though she hid behind her husband, she could not quell her curiosity. Aria grabbed her husband’s arms with both hands and poked her head out to see what was going on.
Old Master Cross walked in front of the two of them. He was so tired, and he was panting heavily. He pointed at Dennis, who was behind Dominic and said, “Get out of the way. I want to beat this b*tard grandson to death!”
Dominic held Aria’s hand and led her out of the way so that his father could beat up his nephew.
“Uncle, uncle.” Dennis looked at his menacing grandfather. He wanted Dominic to help him. Unfortunately, Dominic was paying no attention to him. Thus, Dennis looked at Aria, “Aria, you’re going to stand there and watch me get beaten up? You’re too disloyal!”
Aria peered around her husband, her eyes innocent. She had no idea what had happened this morning.
Old Master Cross would not really hit his grandson with the walking stick. He was just putting on an act to scare Dennis. He calmed down and explained what had happened to the confused crowd. Dennis had asked him for money early in the morning. He had asked for too much, so he did not give it to him. In the end, this unfilial grandson had used his favorite blue and white porcelain vase as a threat. Dennis had threatened to smash the vase if he did not get the money.
Old Master Cross could not bear to see his precious vase in the hands of his grandson. He was so frightened that he had agreed to Dennis’s request with wide eyes. However, he had not expected Dennis to push his luck. He said shamelessly, “Grandpa, fifty million isn’t enough. I want one hundred million.”
This made Old Master Cross so angry that his blood pressure soared. He could not deal with his grandson, so he could only temporarily compromise. “I’ll give it to you. Put the vase down.”
“Impossible. I’ll return it to you when I get the money. Let me play with it first.” After saying that, Dennis turned the vase back and forth between his hands. After a short while, they heard a shattering sound. The grandfather and grandson looked at the blue and white porcelain vase that now lay on the ground. It had been smashed to pieces.
......
Old Master Cross was shocked. His beloved porcelain vase was gone just like that! “dennis!” Old Master Cross gritted his teeth and shouted his grandson’s name.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dennis immediately ran away. Old Master Cross chased after him with his walking stick, wanting to beat him up. This was what had happened just now.
After learning what had happened, before Dominic and his wife could say anything, another scream rang out. “Ahhhhh! Dennis!”
Aria heard Sarah’s angry cry and her heart trembled. She looked at her friend who was in trouble and felt sorry for him. He was going to be in big trouble!
Dennis retreated to the door of the house, as if he was ready to escape at any moment. Sarah jogged down the stairs holding a necklace. She pointed at Dennis and asked angrily, “dennis Cross, where are the pearls on my pearl necklace?”
Aria looked carefully at the necklace. The pearl necklace, which had once looked shiny and noble, was now bare. Only the chain was left. Everyone looked at the man at the door, and Dennis’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Emmmm, I sold it for money.”
Mayor Edward also appeared with his broken cup. “dennis, why is my cup broken?”
Dennis said, “Dad, let me explain this to you. I went to steal mom’s necklace and accidentally touched your award-winning Honorary Cup. I thought the cup looked rather sturdy, but it broke when I dropped it.”
D*mn it. Dennis had offended everyone in the house in just one morning. He did not dare to offend Dominic and Aria because he was afraid. Dennis, who was closer to the door, wanted to run away. In just a few seconds, Dominic had caught him.
On the sofa, Old Master Cross, Mayor Edward, and Sarah were sitting in a row. They looked at Dennis, who was squatting on the ground with his hands on his head, while Dominic and his wife were sitting on the other sofa.
Old Master Cross said, “dominic, you better teach this b*stard a good lesson.”
Mayor Edward did not want to beat his son up, so he did not say anything. He also wanted his younger brother to beat Dennis up.
