Chapter 55 Grandpa’s Dignity
When Adeline saw Ryan and Elena return together, she immediately became unhappy.
“Elena, do you think that our family will bully you when you come back? You actually brought Ryan back with you.” Adeline’s tone was very harsh. Looking at Ryan and his crippled legs, her face was filled with impatience.
Elena did not pay attention to this woman and pushed Ryan to side of the sofa. She picked up the apple on the table and started to peel it.
“Elena, did you not hear what I said to you? This is the attitude you have when you talk to your elders?”
“Auntie is wrong. I haven’t spoken anything to you just now. Why would I have a bad attitude?”
Elena did not continue to endure and contradicted Adeline. She did not want to be threatened by this person anymore.
“You!” As she spoke, Adeline stepped forward and raised her arm to hit her.
Suddenly, Ryan snatched the fruit knife from Elena’s hand with lightning speed and stabbed it into the table made to red Nanmu wood.
Adeline was shocked by his actions and froze on the spot. “What? What do you want?”
“I want to see what you want to do to Elena.” Ryan looked at Adeline with a threatening gaze.
Adeline was so scared by Ryan that her face turned pale.
“What are you guys doing?” Mason, who had rushed back after work, scolded when he saw the scene.
A trace of panic flashed across Adeline’s face. She walked in front of Adeline and complained first, “Dad, you must help me make the decision. This Elena does not take me seriously at all. And Ryan, he used our family’s fruit knife to kill me. Is this what the Monor family taught him?”
“Elena, Ryan and the others are not people who cause trouble. You must have provoked them first. That’s why they are like this.”
Mason frowned. If it wasn’t for the benefits, he wouldn’t have allowed this woman to marry into the Lewis family.
“Dad…”
“Go back to your room.”
Adeline angrily left the living room.
“Did you call me today to ask me to come back for this matter?” Mason looked at Elena who was at the side.
Elena shook her head and walked to Mason’s side. “Grandfather, you misunderstood me. I originally wanted to come and see you today, but I didn’t expect Auntie to come and denounce you when I came in.”
Mason looked at Ryan, who was eating fruits with a smile on his face. “Is what she said true?”
“Yes, but let me remind you that your daughter-in-law is not someone to be trifled with.”
Ryan gave a fake smile, as if he really wanted to give Mason a reminder.
“Thank you for the reminder.” Mason had his own conclusion in his heart.
“Mr. Lewis, as far as I know, today’s matter was because your eldest granddaughter suffered some grievances at my brother’s place, and your daughter-in-law blamed all the mistakes on my wife. Isn’t it a bit too much?”
Ryan used his brain to think and also knew why Adeline would do this today.
“What do you mean?” Mason looked confused.
Ryan sneered. “I believe I have made my point clear.”
“Elena, come here.” Mason was calm for a while and looked at Elena. He had to solve this matter in front of Ryan.
Elena had suffered a lot of grievances in the past few years, but as the patriarch of Lewis family, he had to take care of the big picture.
