“You…”
Cory was so enraged that he was rendered speechless.
When he was about to say something, a calm and dignified voice cut him off.
“Why haven‘t I known about such a thing?”
“Did you ask for my permission?” “Or are you saying that my words mean nothing to you?”
The crowd spread out to both sides in an instant.
In the deepest part of the hall, Grandma York was seen clad in a white robe, surrounded by a dozen people.
Her face was quite skinny, but she still looked elegant. Her beauty from her youth was still apparent even at her current age.
She also carried a terrifying aura that seeped out of her body, giving others the urge to kneel after taking just one glance at her. In the crowd with Grandma York, there was an equally calm man in a green robe.
He was none other than Walter York, the second lord of the family.
He had been obsessed with martial arts, but he had yet to show that side of him. His head was raised up high; he seemed quite powerful, as if he could kill a bull with a single punch.
Harvey, who was standing in the crowd, glanced calmly at Grandma York.
The woman really did seem terrifying; her temperament alone was already giving quite the heavy pressure.
Judging from her arrogant attitude , everyone could tell that she would usually be pampered to no end, as if she was a queen; she would do whatever she pleased without any restraints.
People like her were the hardest to deal with. They were the most terrifying, too.
Her seniority, identity, background, power, and authority were enough to suppress anyone that would come in her way.
Even the lord of the family himself would have to pay his respects in front of her.
“Mother!”
“Grandma York!”
“M’lady!”
“Grandmother!”
The guests and the people from the fourth house immediately rushed to stand in front of Grandma York before dropping into a respectful bow.
Some were even making loud bangs as they groveled courteously.
Even Cory, Lexie , and everyone else who had been very fierce before hurriedly recomposed themselves and waited calmly for Grandma York to take over the situation.
Vince walked toward Grandma York and held her.
“Why aren‘t you resting in the back room, Grandmother? It‘s too noisy outside.”
“Do you think I can just stay back there?” Grandma York replied.
“If I stay there any longer, the Yorks of Hong Kong will be in shambles!”
Many people‘s eyes twitched after hearing her calm words.
Grandma York then looked calmly at Noah.
“Come here, Noah.”
“Is there anything you‘d like me to do, Mother?”
Noah‘s eyes twitched, but he still went toward Grandma York before bowing respectfully.
She hooked his finger, signaling Noah to get his face closer to her.
Right as Noah did that, he was forced to take a slap to the face, which swelled painfully moments after.
Slap!
Noah was almost sent flying before he steadied himself. He then bowed while covering his face.
“If you‘re in a bad mood, Mother, you can keep going until you‘re satisfied.”
“I can take it!”
