Chapter 321
Ryan’s face suddenly fell. He might have thought his son was a good–for–nothing, but that didn’t give
anyone else the right to criticize him, especially an outsider like
Vivienne
He said. ‘Dad, I’ve always respected your wishes, but today Vivienne has crossed a linel Shouldn’t you
make a stand?”
“Yeah!” Cathy chimed in defiantly. “She’s been targeting us this entire time I don’t know if it’s because
she’s jealous or if someone’s been pulling her strings!”
Pulling her strings”
That was a clear jab at Percival
Vivienne was the daughter–in–law of Richard’s third son, namely Percival’s father, so naturally, she
would side with Percival
Her current feud with Paul was clearly a fallout between Richard’s third son and first son
“Enough” Richard was so angry that his voice was shaking. He was still recovering from his illness and
didn’t have the strength to physically intervene Ryan, don’t thank / don’t know about your targeting of
Percival and Vivienne! The last time I assigned you as a security guard, it was to teach you a lesson
Richard shook his head in disappointment And what did you learn? Nothing! You’re even dragging your
own son into your schemes against Vivienne?”
“Dad, Ryan didn’t mean any harm! He just wants what’s best for the Ellington family Cathy tried to
defend her husband but the old man was done listening
“I might be old, but I’m not blind or deaf I’ve turned a blind eye to your past actions, but now that you ve
dared to scheme against Vivienne, don’t blame me for being
ruthless!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRichard spoke, then turned to his butler “From today on Ryan’s family is not allowed to stay in the
mansion Without my permission, they are not allowed to return. This is your responsibility so make sure
it’s done!”
Ryan, Cathy and Paul were all stunned
WhatTM
They weren’t allowed to return to the mansion
Wasn’t this an indirect way of saying that he had lost Richard’s favor and was no longer considered one
of the heirs of the Ellington family?
“Dad. I was just confused for a moment. Don’t hold it against me Ryan quickly apologized, seeing that
the old man remained unmoved, he desperately grabbed Paul and scolded him. “Aren’t you going to
apologize to your grandfather?
“Why should I apologize? It’s Grandpa who’s being biased! Paul stubbornly refused to admit his
mistake
Ryan was so angry that he was about to spit blood. He raised his hand and harshly slapped him
several times, pushing him to kneel on the ground
Paul was dizzy from the blows He struggled to remain kneeling as his body constantly swayed.
“Why are you hitting him? Cathy was heartbroken, but she didn’t dare argue in front of Richard She
whispered, “Paul didn’t say anything wrong
Ryan ignored her and swallowed his humiliation. He pulled his son to apologize to the old man “Dad
we’re all family. There’s nothing we can’t get past it was all Paul’s misunderstanding it has nothing to do
with Vivienne We won’t hold it against Vivienne, so please calm down
Richard laughed in anger “You won’t hold it against her? You’ve caused such a disgrace! You’ve
caused chaos in the family, and you have the audacity to say you won’t hold
it against her?
He pointed at Paul, coughing and cursing “You say I’m biased towards Vivienne, well, let me tell you, I
am! Having a child like Vivienne marry into the Ellington family is a blessing its an honor for us if
anyone dares to make trouble for Vivienne in the future, they’d better get out of the Ellington family!
Ryan khelt on the ground, unable to believe that Richard would truly favor an outsider over him, his
eldest son
Paul, his face swollen and his brain fuzzy from the beating was even more unable to swallow this bitter
pill
He had been beaten and scolded, but the old man still refused to forgive them. He showed no sign of
changing his mind.
It’s all your fault! You damn bitch! Enraged, he stood up and charged at Vivienne
He wanted to throttle her and give her a taste of her own medicine
However Paul barely got close to Vivienne when Percival kicked him hard in the groin
“AN Paul screamed in pain while clutching his crotch as he fell to his knees
The kick was so brutal that he felt like he had been crippled
Percival looked down at him coldly, as if he were a mere insect. This is what you get if you try to lay a
hand on my Vivienne “
“Paul Cathy was frightened out of her wits It took her a moment to rush over and check on her son
Paul was so pale and sweaty from the pain that he couldn’t even answer her He just opened his mouth
in a silent scream
That’s enough Richard glanced at him with a grave expression on his face Take him to the hospital first.
If you dare to plot behind my back again things don’t blame me for being harsh
The old man intentions were clear. He was protecting |
and Vivienne
If anyone dared to lay a hand on Vivienne, they d have to get past him first
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyan glared at Richard and Vivienne then asked the butler to find some servants to carry Paul to the
cat and take him to the hospital
Vivienne I’m sorry for what happened After dealing with the situation, the old man turned to Vivienne
“My eldest grandson is a hopeless case” He sard with regret all over his face I thought as he grew older

Richard had made his stance clear and there was no need for any self reproach
“Yeah Paul deserves to be punished when he screws up. Vivienne Don’t be too upset hona, itxipiped in,
trying to ease the tension. Theres don’t we all go together? Consider it an apology from the Ellington
The atmosphere finally lightened a bit, and Richard nodded in agreement Tha lot from her

Vivienne used to enjoy visiting art exhibitions, but as her schedule got busier, she had less time for
such activities. Now that Fions had broug 1/2

“Sure. I’m up for it
“Yes, yes, it’s good for both families to interact more After all, we are going to be one big family” Dorian,
who had been standing on the sidelines all this time, finally saw an opportunity to step forward. ‘I was
scared to death just now I’m glad you’re okay, Vivienne
This was the Ellington’s turf, and when Ryan and Paul stirred up trouble, Dorian had no chance to
intervene, nor did he dare to meddle in the Ellington’s family affairs
Now that those who needed to be dealt with were taken care of, he finally stepped up and put on a
