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!

Richard 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

Ryan 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

“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
