Chapter 211
Chapter 211
Instantly, the young man was frightened into silence. Grandma is seriously angry this time. She doesn’t usually shout at me like that. I should keep quiet now. After all, he knew his grandmother the best. He knew that it was not something to be taken lightly when she was angry.
“Come, Declan, Ophelie. Come over here and sit.” Leah stepped forward and made a gesture to hold Ophelie’s hand.
At once, Ophelie stepped back sharply, avoiding her. She had never had any emotional attachment to this grandmother who appeared all of a sudden, and now that she was bullied by her grandchildren, she naturally wouldn’t give her good treatment. I have never experienced such humiliation before. Even though I was not favored in the Pearson Family, no one dared treat me like this. If Grandpa Harrison can’t make me feel satisfied and get justice for me, I will call Olivia and ask Thomas to deal with these two arrogant young people.
The onlookers see more than the players. She could see clearly that Olivia had truly fallen in love with Thomas. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to sever ties with the Pearson Family at his request. Even when Ophelie encouraged her to do so, she refused. In Ophelie’s heart, Thomas was already considered her brother-in-law.
It’s only natural for the sister-in-law to seek help from her brother-in-law when she’s being bullied. I have witnessed the power of Thomas with my own eyes. Once he arrives, these two will definitely be miserable.
Seeing Ophelie avoid her, Leah couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret. It seems that not just Declan but even Ophelie doesn’t recognize me as a family member. But who can I blame for this? After all, I have never taken care of them. It’s only natural that they don’t have any affection for me.
“Sigh.” Declan shook his head and sighed. Although he didn’t want to admit Leah as his mother deep down, after all, she was an elderly person. For her to be embarrassed by Ophelie was uncomfortable to
see, so he held Ophelie’s hand and walked to the couch, sitting down.
“You remarried?” He couldn’t help but ask. Although he was young when that incident happened and didn’t have much understanding, over the years, that incident had become a joke among the various families in Irieson. It was especially difficult for Terrence. In his childhood memories, his father took a long time to recover from it. Regardless of how Terrence treated Olivia and Ophelie, he was still good to him and Norman. On the contrary, his biological mother immediately remarried and formed a new family after leaving his father. How could he accept that?
“I will explain it to you later, Declan. I had my reasons. Later…” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Without waiting for her to finish her words, he rudely interrupted, “Forget it. You don’t need to explain it to me. I don’t want to hear your reasons. You wanted to see Ophelie, and you’ve seen her now, so goodbye.” With that, he stood up from the couch, pulling Ophelie with him, intending to leave.
“Don’t you think you’re quite shameless?” Even without Leah speaking, Leah’s granddaughter couldn’t tolerate it. How dare he interrupt Grandma? Who does he think he is?
At the same time, the young man walked up to Declan, towering over him with his height, and gently slapped Declan’s cheek. “Being insolent in front of Grandma requires power, and your insignificant family obviously lacks that kind of power.”
Seeing that, Ophelie pushed him away. “Don’t touch Uncle Declan!”
Slap! A crisp sound rang out as the young woman slapped Ophelie across the face. How dare she push my brother? She must have a death wish! “Get lost, you b*tch!” she scornfully cursed at Ophelie.
At this moment, Declan couldn’t suppress his anger any longer. He shouted, “You need to be taught a lesson!” This is outrageous! I could tolerate their previous rudeness, but they actually laid their hands on Ophelie. As her uncle, it will be unforgivable if I don’t stand up for her.
Bang! Yet, just as he raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then everything spun, and his body flew backward, gliding through the air for six feet before crashing to the ground.
“Uncle Declan!” Ophelie disregarded the pain in her cheek and rushed to his side.
“Ugh!” Declan opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Clearly visible on his chest was a distinct imprint of a fist. His sternum had been dented by the young man’s punch.
This frightened Ophelie. “Uncle Declan, are you okay?”
He shook his head and, with her support, struggled to stand up. “Ahem, ahem!” He coughed intermittently, and with each cough, fresh blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. It was beyond his expectations that this young man and woman would be so vicious. The blow just now was clearly aimed at killing him.
“Tch!” The young man snorted disdainfully. “You dare to shout in front of us? You don’t know your place, you ignorant fool. Do you even know who we are?”
“You wicked brat! Stand aside!” Leah roared angrily. These two kids are becoming more and more despicable. Declan is my son, after all. According to seniority, they should address him as Uncle Declan. Yet, they actually dared to attack him? What do they take me for? Do they still consider me their grandmother?
Instantly, the young man and woman shrank back, obediently retreating to the side without daring to make a sound.
“Declan!” Leah walked toward her son with a concerned expression.
“Don’t come over!” Although Declan’s face was pale, his gaze was exceptionally resolute. “Since you left and formed a new family, you are no longer a part of the Pearson Family. Even if the Pearson
Family has declined, it still exists. So what if you lived overseas or in Capitalis? It’s not like we have never been there. Even if the Pearson Family no longer exists, we don’t need an outsider like you to meddle!”
When she heard that, she trembled all over. His determined expression reminded her of Terrence when he was young. Terrence back then was just like Declan now—stubborn, resilient, and filled with pride.
Declan slowly left the private room. With each step, his body swayed from the intense pain. If it weren’t for Ophelie’s support, he probably wouldn’t be able to stand still at the moment.
Originally, he wanted to forgive his mother, but now his heart had turned cold. I never expected that she would actually form a new family and bring her grandchildren back with her. She asked me to bring Ophelie along, only to be met with disdain. And not only did they hit me, but they also laid hands on Ophelie. This is outrageous!
