Matthew returned to Grandma's birthday party with a bruised face this time. Blood was still seeping from his lips. He had deliberately not stopped by the hospital and treated his wound first to get sympathy from Grandma.
At Grandma's birthday party...
The atmosphere was suddenly quiet again.
"Is Matthew home yet?" asked Grandma, who had faintly heard the sound of her favorite grandson's Lamborghini sports car.
"I think it's Matthew," said Kelly, Desmond's wife.
Desmond glanced out the window, recognizing his son's white Lamborghini. The middle-aged man flashed a faint smile before turning back to the Huxleys. "My son has returned quickly. It was easy dragging that loser back here," Desmond sneered.
Grandmother nodded, smiled, and lifted her chin. "Matthew is indeed my most reliable grandson."
As she said this, Grandmother glanced at Anthony and his daughter, Laura. As always, the old woman looked at Laura with a mocking gaze. In Grandmother's eyes, Laura's position was so low; apart from her beauty, her granddaughter had nothing to be proud of.
"All of you welcome Matthew and drag that loser here! Make him kneel before me and accept the punishment for his actions!" Grandmother ordered.
Desmond nodded and led the way to greet his son. Behind him were his wife and daughter. Anthony and his small family were at the end of the line. They both seemed reluctant to greet Matthew but to see Danny.
At that moment, everyone thought Matthew had managed to drag Danny back to his knees and admit his mistake. But they were shocked as soon as the young man exited the car.
Matthew was the only one out of the car, and what was even more shocking was that Grandma's favorite grandson's face looked bruised and swollen.
"What happened to my son?" asked Kelly, covering her mouth with both hands.
Desmond and his wife immediately ran to their son and helped him walk. The grandmother who saw this was also shocked. This time, she gripped the armrest on the chair and grunted in annoyance.
"How could my precious grandson be injured like this? Did someone beat you up?" Grandma asked, looking worried.
Matthew was the only third-generation male in the Huxley family. The Huxley family's patriarchal beliefs made Matthew the family's most beloved and privileged grandson.
Matthew held his cheek and grinned in pain. Then the young brunette let out a long breath and said with a whimper, "It's all Laura's useless husband's doing."
"What did you say?" asked Desmond in surprise. The middle-aged man turned to Anthony and his wife with a sharp look. "Your son-in-law is a poor, useless man; how dare he beat up my precious son. Both of you must take responsibility for this!"
Anthony and Michelle looked at each other. Danny was their son-in-law; inevitably, what Danny did would make them indirectly involved.
"Huh, I'll rip his mouth out if I see him later," Anthony said with emphasis.
"Better yet, let's drag him to the police station and let him rot in jail!" Michelle added.
But Grandma shook her head; this old lady didn't like dealing with the police. She was worried that if word of this got out, it would affect the Huxley family's reputation.
"This problem should be solved in a family manner; we don't need to involve the police," Grandmother said as she glanced at Matthew, who was being treated for his wound by Susan.
Hearing the word "police," Matthew was shocked. He remembered what he had done to Danny. "If the police find out what I did, then I'll be the one in trouble."
"I agree with Grandma; we shouldn't go to the police. I guarantee that man won't dare appear in front of the Huxley family again," Matthew said, trying to cover up what he had done.
Desmond immediately glanced at his son. Every time he saw the wound on Matthew's face, the middle-aged man's blood began to boil. His face was so full of anger and resentment towards the useless son-in-law that he wanted to rip off all of Danny's skin and put him out in the sun.
"Matthew, what that useless son-in-law did has tarnished the face of the Huxley family. He should be taught a lesson!" exclaimed Desmond. The man smiled slightly and said," I know what to do to that man. I'll enlist the help of the underground fighter gang to beat him up!"
Desmond said this with hatred. Meanwhile, Matthew remained silent. Right now, he just hoped that Chuck and Ben would get rid of Danny's body and eliminate his trail.
On the way back to the hotel, Matthew had indeed contacted his two messengers to take care of Danny's body and throw it into the ravine.
"I agree with your plan, Desmond. Right now, you call the head of the underground fighter gang and ask them to beat Danny up. But remember, don't let him die! Because he has to stand before me and live up to the Huxley family rules!" said Grandma.
"I got it, Mom!" replied Desmond, grabbing his cell phone and trying to contact the gang members.
But before the call could be connected, the ballroom doors suddenly rang. That's when Chuck and Ben were thrown to the floor near the Huxley family members.
The two bouncers received several new wounds on their bodies; even their faces were full of blue bruises. Matthew, who saw this, gasped in shock.
'How did they get thrown here?' Matthew asked himself.
"Matthew, aren't they your men?" asked Anthony.
Before Matthew could answer, footsteps were heard from the doorway, breaking the silence. Slowly, the Huxley family members turned their heads toward the door.
Danny stood proudly, his eyes glaring as if challenging every member of the Huxley family who was there.
Matthew, who saw Danny's arrival, gasped. This time, his face seemed to freeze. His hand pointed at Danny, who was slowly approaching them. 'How could he be here? Didn't he just...'
Matthew tried to look for the stab wound on his cousin's husband's chest, but he couldn't find it at all. 'What happened?
"Did I miss the party this afternoon?" Danny asked with a mocking look.

108. Approaching You
Laura deliberately invited her best friend to the Starlight Hill Villa area tonight. This is a super-luxurious area in Northern Coastal, which is also Danny's residence. Today, Laura deliberately came to see Danny and tried to regain his heart. Laura had finalized her divorce from Tom almost two weeks ago, more precisely, a few hours after their wedding.Not only that, Laura had made thorough preparations, even undergoing hymen reconstruction surgery so that Danny would still consider her a virgin. She had slept with Tom on the night of their wedding registration. That night, Laura wore a black YSL mini backless dress and applied heavier makeup on her face. “Rose, are you sure this is his house?” Laura asked upon arriving at the most luxurious villa. The villa was built in a classic style, with majestic, sturdy marble pillars. In the centre was a fountain with a statue of a fairy. Laura, who had just exited the car, marvelled at it. At that moment, she felt fortunate to have a fr

The man laughed again, and Chad immediately hung up the phone rudely. Next to him was an elderly woman lying weakly on the bed. She was Lizbeth Wilder, Chad's mother and Robert Huxley's younger sister.“I heard you were talking about Laura. What happened to my granddaughter?”Chad glanced briefly at his mother. Her condition was no longer as good as in previous years. He couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth.“Nothing. Laura is fine,” Chad lied.“Is Laura going to divorce Danny?” Lizbeth asked, startling Chad.Chad exhaled deeply. He realized there was no point in lying to his mother. The woman who had given birth to him must know the truth, even if it was covered up with a beautiful lie.With a heavy heart, Chad nodded.“So the son-in-law who’s been living off his in-laws is actually the President of Phoenix Crest Group?” Lizbeth asked, then exhaled deeply, “The Huxley family is really suffering a huge loss right now.” Chad immediately took his mother’s hand and gently rubbed
106. A Regret
Anthony considered what his daughter had done dangerous. Laura had just made the Harold family the laughingstock of the whole town, and Anthony knew that the Harold family would not take this lying down.However, Michelle was different. She approached Laura and tried to calm her daughter down. Michelle looked at her husband with disbelief.“Why did you have to slap Laura?” Michelle asked.Anthony didn’t answer; he just smiled cynically.“You can’t treat our child like that. Laura and Danny have been married for three years, and they have deep feelings for each other. It’s only natural that our child would choose Danny over Tom, right? Besides, Danny is the president of a huge company.”“Shut up, you materialistic woman!” Anthony snapped. Michelle was startled to see her husband. Even then, her hand was raised, ready to slap him, but she held back. At that moment, Anthony knew Danny would never agree to take Laura back, especially with all the treatment the Huxley family had given th
105. I Don't
After the three of them left, the invited guests whispered among themselves. “Mr. Lancaster really has a strong influence in the business world. Even people from the underground gangs know him well.”“Yes, even though he is still very young, he is already so powerful. Anyone who dares to mess with him will not survive.”“We’d better not cause trouble with him. If we can’t get close to Mr. Lancaster, it’s better to stay quiet and do nothing.”The people talking about Danny then were mostly sycophants who wanted to get close to Danny to improve their social status. They now approached Danny while carrying wine glasses and raised them in honor.“Mr. Lancaster, I didn’t know today was your birthday, so I didn’t prepare a gift. However, please allow me to drink wine and toast to you. Happy birthday, Mr. Lancaster,” said one of the guests, raising his glass and signaling the others to do the same.Danny raised his glass in response and drank a glass of wine. They seemed delighted that Dann
104. They Are
In less than five minutes, a Rolls Royce with custom license plates that only the upper class could afford pulled up in front of the lobby. From the front of the hall, the leader of the Rogue gang could see the car arriving and immediately greeted the owner.At that moment, Phil realized that the person who had arrived this time was far more powerful than the leader of the Rogue gang, perhaps even an international gang leader who was famous not only in Asia. “Hmm, it seems luck is on my side this time,” Phil thought. The Rogue Gang Leader immediately opened the car door and bowed ninety degrees. His subordinates followed suit. “Welcome, Sir,” the gang leader greeted him respectfully.“Hmm,” replied the middle-aged man, sounding mysterious. He then stepped forward and led the way to the hall. Phil, witnessing the scene, quickly pulled the gang leader closer and whispered to him, “Who is that middle-aged man? He doesn’t look young anymore, but he’s so authoritative and dominant.”“O

Seeing this, Phil became angry and ordered the trained security guards to expel them all. Phil and Julie had heard about Hailey's ex-husband's fighting skills. For that reason, he deliberately prepared trained personnel to stand guard in case the man caused trouble.The burly, intimidating security personnel entered the party room and immediately began to expel the newly arrived guests. However, the guests resisted and protested."You have no right to expel us! We've already given you gifts worth 10 to 20 thousand!" "Phil Harold! You're truly shameless! You expelled us after letting us in and accepting our gifts!" "Have you become so poor that you only want our gifts and don't give anything in return?" Hearing someone insult him as poor, Phil felt deeply ashamed. His face turned red, and he dared not look at the invited guests, who might have also heard what these people were saying. With a feeling of anger, Phil clenched his fists and shouted, "Return the prize money they gave yo
