Chapter 756 That’s Your Distant Aunt

“And you are?”

Darcy frowned.

Master Quint said, “That’s the daughter of your grandmother’s brother, Yume. She’s your

distant aunt.

Darcy’s eyes burned with rage.

Yume was so arrogant.

When nothing went her way, Yume ordered her men to break Lucas‘ rib.

However, Yume belonged to the prestigious Vinland family.

Darcy drew a deep breath to calm herself before speaking solemnly to her employees in the back, “Dial the emergency line now. Lucas and the others need medical care now.”

Yume did not stop Darcy. Instead, she looked Darcy in the eye and said, “I need a word with you, Darcy.”

“What do you want?” Darcy swallowed her anger and asked.

The grimace on Darcy’s face did not sit well with Yume. Yume’s eyes grew stern. “I’m your aunt, Darcy. Watch your tone when you speak with me.”

“You came to my workplace for no reason and ordered your people to break my employee’s rib. What tone are you expecting?”

Darcy’s tone was strained with tension.

While she had her misgivings about the Vinlands, she would not be made a doormat.

“You have some nerve, Darcy. Yume is your aunt. How dare you talk to her in that manner. It’s blatant disrespect,” Lyn told Darcy off.

Darcy glanced at her and responded differently, “Just get to the point, Yume.”

“You!”

Lyn pointed at Darcy in fury, her eyes flickered with malice. She could not believe Darcy would dismiss her.

Yume folded her arms and questioned condescendingly, “My dad thought highly of you and asked that you take the Vinland name. Why didn’t you accept his request, Darcy?”

“I have always been a Quint. Why should I change my last name?” Darcy replied.

Yume uttered with a scoff, “I’ll ask you one last time. Are you changing your last name?”

“No.”

Darcy was firm on that note.

Juno snorted. “Darcy, Yume is doing you a favor by letting you take the Vinland name. Do you think just anybody can be a Vinland?”

“The Vinlands are a prominent family. You should be happy that you get to be a Vinland. You are lucky to be given the chance. Be appreciative about it,” the men and women behind Yume said. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

They acted like it was a great honor for Darcy to be part of the Vinlands.

Darcy snapped a callous look at them. “Well, I’ll pass the chance to you instead.”

“Don’t try to be funny with us. We’re Yume’s friends. Hear that? We are your aunt’s friends.”

Juno and the others were enraged.

“I don’t care who you are.”

Darcy stared at them and uttered curtly, “This is Quartet Group. Please leave right now, or I’ll call the cops. You’re a distraction in our workplace.”

“Look, Yume. Your niece is so unruly and disrespectful to us. She doesn’t respect you either,” Lyn said harshly.

Yume scoffed. “I’m asking one last time, Darcy. Are you not going to change your last name?”

Instead of talking, Darcy responded with action.

She pulled out her phone to call the cops.

Furious, Yume snapped. “Fine. You pushed me. Either way, you have no say in the matter.”

She waved her arm.

Archie went up to snatch the phone out of Darcy’s hand and smashed it to bits.

“What are you doing? Why did you break my phone?”

Darcy flipped out.

It never occurred to her that these people would act with aggression at Quartet Group.

“Just come with us, Ms. Quint,” Archie said with a grin.

His smile did not reach his cold eyes.

The look on his face made Darcy’s hair stand.

“Where are you taking me?”

Darcy turned as white as a sheet.

“To the local courthouse to file a petition for the last name change.”

Yume crossed her arms and smirked.

Darcy said furiously, “I told you I won’t change my last name. You can forget it.”

Yume tipped Archie the wink

Archie approached one of the security officers and crushed his ribcage under his foot.
