Female Novel
Chapter 846
Both Arthur and Sheila were startled by Stefan’s threat. They knew that Stefan was a haughty man, butthey never expected it to reach the point where he would disregard basic social etiquette of showingrespect to the elders—all for a woman of a low status!
For a family who had always abided by strict rules, such behavior was simply perfidious!
The elders in the room could no longer stand by quietly. One by one, they stood up and voiced theirdisapproval.
“Stefan, you’re Arthur’s nephew! How could you speak to him like that? Think of how embarrassing itwould be if the public finds out about this!”
“No matter how wrong Arthur and Sheila were, they are still your uncle and aunt! You should settle thematter by discussing it like civilized people. Is the problem even worth losing your temper over?”
“As your uncles and aunts, we think you two are the ones who should be begging for your aunt anduncle’s forgiveness!”
Because of his arrogance, Stefan now became the target of the family’s verbal attacks.novelbin
Seeing this, Sheila was once again emboldened. She snorted coldly and jeered at Alexander andFrancine. “I guess the education you gave Stefan was too liberal for us, Alexander and Francine! That’swhy your son has become a radical that dares to disregard common courtesy! To put it more bluntly…he’s no different from an uneducated brute! If you don’t reel him in now and let him get away withthreatening his uncle and aunt, then you might find him stepping over you and peeing on your headstomorrow! It’d be too late for you to regret it then!”
“That’s right!” Arthur echoed vehemently. “He must beg us for forgiveness today, or else I won’t let thismatter slide!”
“I’m sorry,” Francine replied nonchalantly as she sat gracefully on the couch, “but this is between youand Stefan. As for who should be the one to apologize, I’ll leave it to you to sort it out. Besides, my sonis well-known for being respectful to the elders, yet there are some of the elders who behave in a waythat makes them undeserving of respect!”
“What are you saying, Francine Milford? Who is undeserving of respect?!”
Sheila was so enraged that she no longer cared about appearances. She stomped towards Francine,determined to fight with her to the death. After all, the rift between their two families was now so hugethat it was irreparable, and there was no point in trying to maintain a semblance of dignity anymore.
Seeing this, Renee felt embarrassed. She knew that the fight in the family erupted because of her, andshe had no desire to become the ‘eye of the storm,’ the central point where family discord and disputeswirled around, causing cracks and rifts within the family.
And so, she hastily blocked Sheila’s way and humbly said, “Please calm down, Aunt Sheila! This is allmy fault, so I’ll apologize to you and to Uncle Arthur, I…”
“Get out of my way!” Sheila had no time for Renee, nor did she care to appear dignified anymore, soshe disdainfully shrieked, “You’re nothing but a destitute dog! You are completely unworthy of marryinginto the Hunt family, and you don’t even have any right to speak!”
After speaking, she violently shoved Renee aside.
“What are you doing…?”
Renee was caught off guard. She staggered and almost faceplanted on the floor.
Fortunately, Stefan had quick eyes and quicker hands, so he was able to swiftly support Renee’s bodywith his long arms. At the moment, his eyes were like daggers that were savagely aimed at Sheila.
“She… she was blocking my way! It’s not my fault! Why are you looking at me like that?”
Sheila’s puffed-up arrogance suddenly vanished, and she gulped nervously, feeling somewhat guilty.
