Chapter 3: I'll Bring You All Down!
1329 Words
The three people present were completely dumbfounded.
Calvin clutched his flushed face, his anger surged through him.
In the Davis family, he was the beloved eldest grandson, the future heir. Everyone showed him respect, but today, he was slapped by a useless newcomer!
And it was a resounding slap!
How could he possibly stomach such humiliation?
Catherine and Chelsea stood there in shock, unable to believe that Sean had actually struck out!
Chelsea had only made an offhand comment, never expecting Sean to actually hit the Davis family's eldest grandson for her!
She turned pale with fright.
"Sean, have you lost your mind? How could you actually hit him?"
Sean replied tenderly, "Because you're my wife now, and I won't let anyone bully you!!"
Was this uncle insane?
Even if they were married today!
He was just a battlefield deserter!
Now that he's hit the Davis family's eldest grandson, with Calvin's personality, he'd stop at nothing to take his life!
It's all over!
Absolutely doomed!
"Damn! Are you looking for death?"
"A useless son-in-law dares to hit me? You've got a death wish!"
In an attempt to salvage his dignity, Calvin, his anger boiling over, swung his fist, ready to retaliate.
But how could he possibly be a match for the mighty Northern War God?
Snap!
In an instant.
With a swift counter, Sean broke Calvin's arm.
Ah!
A blood-curdling scream tore through the air.
Calvin stomped his foot in agony, his face turning ashen.
The once swaggering eldest grandson of the Davis family, he never imagined he would suffer such disgrace today.
"Just you wait, and you too, Chelsea, I'll see you all destroyed!"
Calvin shouted as he clutched his wrist and hurried away.
Wealthy Estates.
The Davis family's pillar enterprise.
Old ladyship Davis and her eldest son, Carter, had received a call from an important business partner from the provincial capital. After attending the wedding, they rushed to the company and were currently in a meeting discussing cooperation.
"Grandma, Dad!"
Calvin burst into the meeting room, both agitated and in pain.
Old ladyship Davis, in the middle of the meeting, was visibly annoyed as her disheveled grandson barged in.
"What are you doing? Can't you see we have guests? Don't you know any manners?"
Old ladyship's expression was stern as she spoke.
Carter, seeing her anger, stood up and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Get out first!"
Calvin, holding back his anger, had no choice but to retreat outside.
An hour later, the meeting concluded.
Only then did Calvin dare to enter.
As soon as he stepped in, he began to complain tearfully.
"Grandma, you have to stand up for me. I've been beaten, my arm hurts like hell, it's almost broken..."
Calvin was a mess of tears and snot.
His son was beaten?
Upon hearing this, Liu Yong was immediately alarmed. His precious son, whom he couldn't bear to hit himself, who dared to lay a hand on him?
"What! You got hit? Who did it?"
Carter couldn't hold back and asked immediately.
Grandma Davis was equally alarmed.
"Oh, my precious grandson, come over here and let Grandma take a look. Your hand mustn't be injured. Tell Grandma exactly what happened!"
"Grandma, Dad, it was Sean, the new son-in-law who just married into our Davis family..."
"You have to stand up for me!" Calvin cried.
Sean??
Grandma Davis furrowed her brows!
A mere live-in son-in-law, acting so out of line?
Calvin, the eldest grandson and future heir of the Davis family, and yet Sean dared to hit him?
Grandma Davis slammed her dragon-headed cane on the floor!
"This is outrageous! Calvin, tell Grandma exactly what happened!"
Hearing Grandma's concern, Calvin felt a surge of confidence.
"Grandma, it was all Chelsea. She told Sean to hit me."
Grandma Davis's expression shifted slightly, showing a hint of hesitation.
Though she never favored her young granddaughter, she couldn't deny Chelsea's exceptional business acumen. A graduate from a prestigious university, she had been working at Wealthy Estates for two years, handling numerous key projects.
Carter, quick to notice, immediately read Grandma's thoughts.
In the past two years, Chelsea had repeatedly achieved success in the company. If she continued to rise, she posed a significant threat to them!
This incident of his son being hit was the perfect opportunity to eliminate future troubles, wasn't it?
"Mom, you have to stand up for your grandson. That Chelsea is so brazen, relying on her little achievements in the company, she doesn't even respect Calvin. He's your precious grandson!"
Grandma Davis's face was grave, and she was torn inside.
She didn't know how to handle this!
With the current economic downturn, Wealthy Estates was facing cash flow issues and was negotiating a crucial deal with PurpleGold Group, the largest in Cloud City. This cooperation was extremely important, and no mistakes could be made, and Chelsea was the one overseeing it.
She feared that if she punished this granddaughter, it might affect the project signing.
"Calvin, Grandma asks, how do you want me to handle this?" Grandma Davis inquired.
"Fire Chelsea, and kick her whole family out of the Davis family," Calvin said through gritted teeth.
"Grandma has no objections, you can have it your way, but you must make a military pledge to Grandma to secure the project signing with PurpleGold Group without any mishaps!" Grandma declared.
With those words.
Calvin felt a bit intimidated by the task.
Aside from flaunting his status as the eldest grandson, his business skills were lacking!
But this was the best chance to get rid of Chelsea.
He didn't want to miss it!
He had learned about this cooperation project beforehand, and Chelsea's abilities were indeed outstanding. After several discussions, the signing was nearly confirmed, only the final signature was missing.
Everything was ready, wasn't it just a matter of signing?
"Alright, Grandma, I can make the military pledge. I will definitely complete this cooperation!" Calvin declared confidently.
"Good, Grandma appreciates your courage, but let me make it clear, if the project signing fails, I won't let it slide, even if you are the eldest grandson!"
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Sean arrived home. As they approached the doorstep, they could hear a heated argument erupting inside. Chelsea knew her parents were still arguing about her marriage.
“Mom, I’m back,” Chelsea called out.
Quinn opened the door, her eyes puffy from tears. She was about to let Chelsea in, but the moment she spotted Sean, her expression immediately turned sour.
“Chelsea, you can come in, but he needs to leave!” she snapped. “We can't have someone so useless in our home!”
“Even though Old ladyship Davis arranged this marriage, I, Quinn, refuse to accept him as my son-in-law. I don’t want my daughter to become the laughingstock of all Cloud City.”
Chelsea bit her lip. “Mom, don’t say that…”
“What more can I say? He’s more than ten years older than you! If he were exceptional, I might consider it, but he’s just a deserter from the battlefield. I can’t bear this shame. Get out, hurry up and get out!” Quinn cried and scolded simultaneously.
Sean stayed calm and impassive, about to turn and leave. Suddenly, Chelsea reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
“Mom, please let him come in.”
“Chelsea, are you not listening to your mother anymore? What are you thinking, really?” Quinn demanded.
“Nothing, it’s just that… he’s my husband now…”
Husband?
A sudden warmth filled Sean's heart.
Girl, twelve years have passed, and you're still so kind-hearted… Despite all the hardships you've endured, you still care so much for others.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Quinn became anxious. “I’m only doing this for your own good. Fine, if that’s how you feel, then I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore!”
With that, she stormed off to the bedroom, slamming the door behind her with a bang!
