Chapter 64 Strategy for the Future
After the banquet ended, Elena said goodbye to her grandfather and ignored her aunt and uncle’s family. She followed Ryan out.
Seeing the group of people leave, Mason’s expression instantly became deep. He raised his hand and gave Amara a slap. Amara screamed immediately, “Ah! Why did you hit me, grandpa?”
Jonathan and Adeline, who were standing at the side, were shocked.
“Yes Dad, Amara did not do anything wrong. Why did you hit her?” Adeline’s face revealed displeasure. Even though Mason was Amara’s grandfather, he shouldn’t have treated her precious daughter like this.
“Why did I hit her? Ask her why I hit her? What day is today? Don’t you know? You actually dare to harm Elena in such an occasion!”
Did this family think he was blind? He couldn’t tell what was going on. If it weren’t for Ryan, he was afraid Elena would lose face today in front of so many people. At the same time, everyone would know Elena, the Second Young Lady of Lewis Family, actually lose her face in front of so many people. It was not only Elena who lose face but also the Lewis family.
“Grandfather, I didn’t do anything wrong.” Amara’s tone was extremely cold.
“Amara, don’t be rude to grandfather.” Jonathan, who was standing at the side, reminded Amara. Currently, Mason was in the charge of the family. If she angered Mason, he was afraid that none of them would have a good ending.
“Although I am old, I haven’t reached to the stage where I can’t see things clearly. Why did Elena’s evening dress torn off? Do you really think I do not know? Your feet could not reach to Elena’s dress at all. If you did not do it on purpose, how could you step in her dress? It would not be a big deal in other occasions. But today is my 70th birthday! You actually dare to cause trouble at my banquet! I have warned you not to provoke Elena again and again. She is now the second young mistress of Monor family. If Ryan starts to get angry, do you think our Lewis family will have any good results?”
“Grandfather, I don’t understand. Why you always have been afraid of Ryan? He only had some abilities in the past, but now he is only a cripple. It’s impossible for him to become magnanimous. Why are you always afraid of him? I will definitely marry Roman in future. In future, Lewis family and Monor family will be under our control. Why are you biased towards outsiders?”
Amara really could not understand why her grandfather had always sided with Elena. Elena’s father had already passed away. That good-for-nothing mother of hers was still in the hospital.
How could Elena, an ugly duckling, be compared to her?
“That’s right, Dad. Ryan has already become a cripple. To the Monor family, he is just a person who doesn’t matter. Why do you have to care about Ryan’s face? Amara and Roman were now bound to be together. In the future, when the Lewis family and Monor family are connected by marriage, the benefits of the Lewis family is guaranteed.”
Adeline also didn’t understand. Mason was an old man who had been through a lot of business. Why would he be afraid of Ryan?
“You shut up. It was because you and Jonathan indulged her that she has such a temper. She has already such an attitude in our family. I really don’t know what she looks like outside!”
After scolding the couple, he turned to Amara, “If you want to stay in the Lewis family… If you want to take over the Lewis family business, you have to listen what I say. Elena was no longer the Elena who had been bullied for five years. If you continue to offend her, you will not have a good ending. Why do I repeatedly emphasize that you should not provoke Elena? It is to pave a way for you! I did not know my grandfather who I trained carefully would be an extremely foolish person. You really disappointed me.”
Initially, he thought that Amara was a smart woman and it was natural for her to take over Lewis family business. However, he did not think that this woman would only care about the benefits in front of her and did not care about the overall situation.
A lean camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if Ryan had lost his power, Amara should not easily provoke him.
“Grandfather?” Amara was still unhappy, but when she heard her grandfather say this was for her future, she felt less unhappy.
“If you still acknowledge me as your grandfather, you have to listen to me. You have to do what I want. Jonathan, Adeline, you two are not allowed to interfere in Amara’s matters from today onwards. For today, I will discipline Amara. Amara immediately return to your room to face the wall and reflect yourself. Tomorrow, you are not allowed to eat. I will let you know what the true rules of the family are.”
Mason could clearly feel that after experiencing rain and storm for five years, Elena was no longer as simple as before. He was getting more and more difficult to control her now.
