Female Novel
Chapter 211
Instantly, the young man was frightened into silence. Grandma is seriously angry this time. She doesn’tusually shout at me like that. I should keep quiet now. After all, he knew his grandmother the best. Heknew 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 holdOphelie’s hand.
At once, Ophelie stepped back sharply, avoiding her. She had never had any emotional attachment tothis 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. Eventhough I was not favored in the Pearson Family, no one dared treat me like this. If Grandpa Harrisoncan’t make me feel satisfied and get justice for me, I will call Olivia and ask Thomas to deal with thesetwo arrogant young people.
The onlookers see more than the players. She could see clearly that Olivia had truly fallen in love withThomas. 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 alreadyconsidered 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. Ihave witnessed the power of Thomas with my own eyes. Once he arrives, these two will definitely bemiserable.
Seeing Ophelie avoid her, Leah couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret. It seems that not just Declanbut even Ophelie doesn’t recognize me as a family member. But who can I blame for this? After all, Ihave 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 deepdown, 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 anddidn’t have much understanding, over the years, that incident had become a joke among the variousfamilies in Irieson. It was especially difficult for Terrence. In his childhood memories, his father took along time to recover from it. Regardless of how Terrence treated Olivia and Ophelie, he was still goodto him and Norman. On the contrary, his biological mother immediately remarried and formed a newfamily after leaving his father. How could he accept that?
“I will explain it to you later, Declan. I had my reasons. Later…”
Without waiting for her to finish her words, he rudely interrupted, “Forget it. You don’t need to explain itto me. I don’t want to hear your reasons. You wanted to see Ophelie, and you’ve seen her now, sogoodbye.” 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’ttolerate 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 gentlyslapped Declan’s cheek. “Being insolent in front of Grandma requires power, and your insignificantfamily obviously lacks that kind of power.”novelbin
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 shepush 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 alesson!” This is outrageous! I could tolerate their previous rudeness, but they actually laid their handson 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 hisbody 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 wasa 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 coughedintermittently, and with each cough, fresh blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. It was beyondhis expectations that this young man and woman would be so vicious. The blow just now was clearlyaimed at killing him.
“Tch!” The young man snorted disdainfully. “You dare to shout in front of us? You don’t know yourplace, 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 moredespicable. Declan is my son, after all. According to seniority, they should address him as UncleDeclan. Yet, they actually dared to attack him? What do they take me for? Do they still consider metheir grandmother?
Instantly, the young man and woman shrank back, obediently retreating to the side without daring tomake 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 youleft 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 havenever been there. Even if the Pearson Family no longer exists, we don’t need an outsider like you tomeddle!”
When she heard that, she trembled all over. His determined expression reminded her of Terrence whenhe 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’tfor 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 shewould actually form a new family and bring her grandchildren back with her. She asked me to bringOphelie along, only to be met with disdain. And not only did they hit me, but they also laid hands onOphelie. This is outrageous!
