Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 289 You're Nothing More Than A Foxtrel

"What a small world, Mr. Mu. Nice to meet you. You haven't changed much, still young and handsome,"

complimented Leo Ouyang. Although he was Edward's father-in-law, he had never socialized with the

Mus. Therefore, he felt self-conscious in front of them.

"Thanks, Mr. Ouyang. And you too!" replied Jonathan coldly. He hated being interrupted at dinner.

Besides, he had no respect for people like Leo. If Leo wasn't Daisy's father, Jonathan would definitely

give a cold shoulder to him.

"Thank you! Mr. Mu. I'm flattered," replied Leo. Feeling nervous, Leo unobtrusively wiped away the

sweat on his face. He hadn't seen Jonathan for years and he still felt tremendous pressure because of

Jonathan's overwhelming and indifferent personality, as well as his handsome looks.

"Edward, can we join you for dinner?" asked Mary. Fortunately, she saw Edward at dinnertime. Feeling

excited, Mary made up her mind to go after him.

"Excuse me, but it's a full table. There is no room for you," replied Justin. Since he knew that Mary was

his mom's step-sister, he despised her even more.

"Look! An ill-mannered child with poor family education. Who are your parents? Haven't they taught

you not to interrupt adults when they are talking? Where are your manners?" Yakira taunted. She didn't

know everyone on the table. But she knew all about the little bastard. Therefore, she viciously insulted

him.

"Family education? You are the last person to talk about family education," said Cynthia. She twirled

her curly hair, then gave Yakira a sideways glance and thought, 'If your sins come out, you won't be

able to gloat like this. You'll be imprisoned permanently.'

"What do you mean by that? My family education is none of your business. Look at you, you're nothing

more than a foxtrel. Humph!" said Yakira to Cynthia. Yakira was jealous of Cynthia's well-shaped body.

She was being mean to her for no good reason. She hadn't expected that Cynthia would turn out to be

Edward's mother.

"Don't you dare say that again. I swear I'll cut you into pieces and feed them to dogs," said Jonathan

severely. He stared fiercely at Yakira. If she wasn't standing on the other side of the table, he would

have kicked her out.

"Mr. Mu. I'm terribly sorry for her poor manners. Please excuse her for offending Mrs. Mu," apologized

Leo. His face grew pale. He felt regretful, 'I shouldn't have agreed to Mary's idea of coming here to

greet the Mus. Yakira, you stupid woman, look what you've done! How could you make such

impertinent remarks in Jonathan's presence? You're signing your own death warrant.'

With a smile on his face, Edward sat comfortably and observed what was happening silently. He knew,

when it came to his mother, his father would be the first one to defend her. The only thing he could do

now was to sit back and watch.

"Mr. Ouyang, you'd better give her some pills and never leave her off the leash outdoors. If she bites

someone, she is likely to be shot to death, '' said Jonathan ironically and threateningly. The only person

he cared for was his wife. He regarded others as unworthy of his attention.

"Ha, ha!" Rain snickered. It was fun to watch an indifferent man like Jonathan being sharp-tongued.

Jonathan had an unusual sense of humor.

"What are you saying? Are you implying I'm a mad dog?" shouted Yakira. Jonathan was low-profile and

indifferent. He didn't want to be a public figure and he seldom attended banquets. Therefore, he was

recognized by only a few people. Unaware of his identity and status, Yakira made the mistake of

shouting at him.

"Shut up! Don't make a fool of yourself!" rebuked Leo. 'I didn't expect you to be so stupid. Look around,

see how people are being reverent and respectful towards Jonathan. And you shouted at him? How

dare you. Do you wish to be dog food? Jonathan is named 'Death'. That's why I couldn't turn him down

when he said that he wanted Daisy to be his daughter-in-law. Fortunately, I had Daisy's phone number

at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known where to find her. I thought it would require a lot of

convincing. But she said yes forthrightly, which made me feel both surprised and relieved, ' thought

Leo.

"Honey, I..."murmured Yakira. She feared Leo and stopped talking immediately. Now she stared

viciously at Cynthia and wondered who they were, 'His last name is Mu. But Edward doesn't have a

brother. Who are they anyway? Why is Leo addressing him as Mr. Mu? He looks almost as young as

Edward. Is he superior to Edward?'

"Mom, stop talking." complained Mary. She blamed Yakira and thought, 'we wouldn't be in such a

situation if you haven't been aggressive in Edward's presence. I wouldn't have lost the only chance to

get him. Why are you so aggressive. Don't you understand the man you shouted at is dominating and

overwhelming? He looks far superior and more powerful than Edward. It seems that he is some kind of

King. Why did you shout at him? You're inviting death.'

"Indeed! Stop talking! Go to the vet immediately, just in case you bite someone again, "Cynthia

mocked. She despised Yakira. She had never seen a concubine as bitchy as Yakira. As far as she

knew, Yakira had deliberately made out with Leo, so that Daisy's mother would see this and get

distracted. That's probably how Daisy's mother died in the car accident. Later Yakira drove a wedge

between Daisy and Leo, and now she wanted Mary to seduce Daisy's husband. Indeed, Yakira was

ruthless and evil. Thanks to Jonathan's most comprehensive database, most advanced technology as

well as nationwide information sources, it was easy for Cynthia to figure out what Yakira had done.

"Grandma, don't tease a mad dog. It may bite you." said Justin. Daisy had never talked with him about

her family. Therefore, he regarded the Ouyangs as strangers, instead of family.

"What... Grandma... She is your grandma? The hostess of the FX International Group? So this is Mr.

Mu. Why do they seem so young!" shouted Yakira. She staggered back and thought, 'I didn't see their

faces at the wedding. They were surrounded by the guests. Besides, I didn't care about Daisy and her

wedding because she is not my daughter. If I had a chance, I would make Edward marry my daughter.

And since there was no chance for Mary to marry Edward, I was not interested in socializing with them.

How old are they? Why do they look young still.' Yakira was jealous of their young appearance.

"Of course, my grandma is warm-hearted and kind. She is young because she never hurts anyone.

Unlike you, you're old and ugly," judged Justin. Justin was usually nice and friendly to others. But when

he had read the report from uncle Luke and got to know what Yakira had done to Daisy, he started NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

hating Yakira. He had always wanted to get back at her for her evil deeds. Luckily, today was the day.

And she was already shooting herself in the foot.

"You... You..." shouted Yakira. She was so angry at his vicious remark that she couldn't say a single

word. Her face was twisted out of anger, which made her look uglier.

"I'm good, thank you! Don't try to set me up or do something evil to me. You're no match for me. I'm not

as innocent as my mom was. She didn't know how to fight back when being bullied. But I know. You'll

pay for my anger if I catch you red handed. A little suggestion for you: stay away from me, or you'll get

hurt, definitely," said Justin firmly and slowly. No one could imagine such overbearing and arrogant

remarks coming from Justin, a little child.

Justin's remarks attracted everyone's attention. Jonathan cast an approving glance at him, and he

thought, 'Tough! Using words as weapons against your enemy. Justin, you do have my style.'

Edward didn't stop Justin from threatening Yakira. After all, Justin was telling the truth and Yakira was a

vicious woman. Edward had started to look at Justin with new eyes after he heard what he said when

Daisy got hurt last time. He believed Justin was capable of fulfilling his threats to Yakira.

Rain was stunned by Justin. He knew Justin was not as innocent and naive as he looked. But he never

thought Justin could be so cruel to the people he disliked. Rain decided not to tease Justin anymore.

Both Leena and Justin were not to be trifled with.

"Well done, Justin, I'll give you a kiss as a reward." said Cynthia. Cynthia had always been in contempt

of regulations. She liked what Justin said. Therefore, she kissed his face gleefully. And even this slight

kiss made Jonathan jealous. On a second thought, he smiled and thought, 'She can do whatever she

likes as long as she is happy! Justin is just a child.'

Leo, however, was embarrassed now. He had no idea whether to leave or to stay. Neither smile nor

frown was entirely appropriate here. In a word, he felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"Hey kid, watch your language. Don't be so arrogant. We didn't bully your bitchy mother. She is just a

Cinderella pretending to be an aloof and innocent princess. Ah..."Before she could finish her sentence,

Mary's throat was grabbed by Edward. Stunned, her face immediately turned pale.

"Mary, you're enjoying abusing Daisy, aren't you? Now, let me tell you, you can swear at anyone, but

my wife. You'd better leave her alone. If you offend her again, I'll make you pay.'' threatened Edward.

He fixed his gaze on Mary and then gave a wicked smile. Mary was frozen by the expression on his

face.

"Edward, are you insane? Let go of my daughter. Or I'll kill you." shouted Yakira. Seeing that, she

suddenly went pale and the makeup on her face was messed up.

"Edward, I'm terribly sorry. Mary didn't mean to say that. It was only a slip of the tongue. Please excuse

her. I'll take her home immediately," apologized Leo. Though reluctant, he had to apologize humbly. He

clearly knew what kind of person Edward was. Under Edward's gentle and elegant demeanor, there

was a cruel and indifferent heart, just like his father's. That's why Leo was always cautious in Edward's

presence.

"For the sake of your father, I am sparing you. But if you insult her again, you won't be forgiven." said

Edward. He let go of Mary rudely and then wiped his hand with a napkin as if it had been tainted by

touching her.
