Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 14

Harvey's Adam's apple squirmed and he swallowed his saliva. Surprisingly, he did not doubt Samuel's

words in the slightest.

"What are you doing?" At that moment, Godfrey and Lydia happened to come back and ran into that

scene.

"Your son-in-law is quite talented, Godfrey. He's even brave enough to hit my son." Lionel resumed his

arrogant appearance after seeing Godfrey because that younger brother of his had been spineless

since h e was young. He took away Godfrey’s candy when they were young and even snatched Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Godfrey's girlfriend when they were studying. Lionel never lost, so he had an inherent sense of

superiority in front of Godfrey. 3

Meanwhile, Godfrey had been bullied ever since he was a child, so a psychological shadow loomed

over him. Deep in his heart, fear always crept in when he saw his big brother.

"Samuel, are you crazy? You even-"

Godfrey had yet to finish his words when Lydia grabbed hold of him.

Even though Lydia had no fond feelings for Samuel in her heart, Harvey had taken away Yvonne's

responsibility for the project the night before. It just so happened that she had no avenue to unleash

her anger, so she could not be happier when Harvey was

beaten up.

"Big Brother, your son was asking to be hit. If he did something wrong, it’s only natural that he receives

retribution," Lydia said.

"You..." Lionel was extremely angry. He pointed at Lydia with trembling fingers.

"What about me? Why are you pointing at me for? And why the hell are you at my house when you

have no business being here? None of you are welcome here." Lydia was originally a nasty wife to

begin with, and Lionel would never be a match for her if her anger flared up.

"Yes, Big Brother. Why did you come to my house?? You've never come here before," Godfrey was

surprised as well. Their relatives from the Sue family had never gone to their home—it was so

impossible and unimaginable that the sun might as well rise from the west that day. 1

Lionel and Harvey were embarrassed and could not say a word.

Samuel said, "The people from Weakriver Real Estate refused to talk to the new person-in-charge.

That’s why they came to ask Yvonne for help. I'm guessing Grandma was pretty angry."

Lydia burst into laughter when she heard that. 1

"Big Brother, I never expected you to go through a day like this, where you'll have come to us for help.

Oh, how the tides have turned," Lydia said.

Lionel's future was in Yvonne's hands. Although he could not accept that, he was also unable to refute

what Lydia said.

"Godfrey, our actions were wrong this time. I apologize to you," Lionel said. 1

In all of Godfrey's years of life, he had only ever seen Lionel's domineering side. He was thus very

confused when Lionel apologized to him. 3

Harvey lowered his head in shame, but all he could do was accept the situation.

"Big Brother, Mom’s punishment isn’t trivial, is it? You wouldn't have apologized to me if it was,"

Godfrey curiously asked.

"You must help me this one time, or else I'll be kicked out of the Sue family." Lionel did not hide that

from them. He had already been shamed anyway, but the chance to exact revenge was still there as

long as he could keep his position in the Sue family. If he was kicked out of the family, he would be left

with nothing.

Samuel was also a little surprised when he heard that. Although he believed that the old lady would

pressure Lionel, it surprised him that she would drive them out of the Sue family.

"No. Why should we help you? You made our life very difficult in the past," Lydia outrightly refused.

"Brother, Sis-in-Law, why must you do something that would jeopardize others and put you at a

disadvantage? Being able to collaborate with Weakriver Real Estate benefits your family too. If I'm

kicked out of the Sue family, what else can you get aside from a bout of happiness?" Lionel argued.

Lydia thought about it carefully. It was the same reason. Lionel's removal would not affect her status in

the Sue family, but everything would change completely if Yvonne could be responsible for that

collaboration.

"Where’s Yvonne?" Lydia asked Samuel.

"She’s sick so she’s resting," Samuel said.

"Sick? Why did she suddenly fall sick?" Lydia shouted as she ran into the room nervously.

When Lydia went inside the room, she saw Yvonne looking rather normal. The young woman did not

appear to be sick at all, so Lydia asked, "Which part of you isn’t feeling well, Yvonne?"

Yvonne smiled slyly and whispered, "Mom, I'm actually feeling alright. Samuel just told me to feign the

illness on purpose."

"On purpose?" Lydia was taken aback, but she subsequently understood Samuel's intentions. She

remarked faintly, "I didn't expect that good-for-nothing to be so petty."

"Mom, can you stop using ’good-for-nothing’ in all of your sentences next time?" Yvonne asked

unhappily. 1

Lydia glared at Yvonne and said, "Even though he did a good job dealing with this, pettiness isn't a real

skill. You can’t possibly have fallen in love with him just because he did these things?"

"Mom, I've been married to him for three years."
