Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 18

The old lady looked at Samuel unhappily and asked," What do you mean when you say she's not

sick?"

"Yvonne is in charge of the project. She succeeded in getting Weakriver Real Estate to collaborate with

us. Irrespective of what Harvey said, the decision to replace her as the person-in-charge is yours alone.

Harvey is to blame for this, but it’s also your fault, don't you agree?" Samuel said calmly.

"Samuel, who do you think you are, questioning Grandma like that?" Harvey asked as though he was

going berserk.

Lionel's scalp turned numb from his exceeding anger. Samuel was nothing more than a live-in son-in- Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

law, yet he dared to criticize and question the old lady. Perhaps he was getting tired of living.

"Samuel, you're not in any place to speak. You'd better get lost from my sight, or else you can't blame

me for not sparing you any courtesy," Lionel said.

"Grandma, Yvonne is the only one who can handle this collaboration, don't you think?" No matter how

worked up the others were, Samuel kept calm.

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "What's the benefit in doing all of this? If you anger me,

aren't you afraid that I wouldn't want to continue with the collaboration and chase you out of the Sue

family?"

"That may be possible, but the losses facing the Sue family are just too great. You wouldn't do this,"

Samuel said.

"Are you sure you’ve gotten to me?" the old lady asked.

"Grandma, I just want you to value Yvonne, that's all. I’ll apologize if there's anything that angered you,"

Samuel said.

The old lady laughed. The carrot-and-stick principle seemed quite effective.

"Is this your idea? I haven’t seen you for a few days and you've already changed you much." The smile

on the old lady's face was gradually replaced by gloom. Yvonne would never dare to play such tricks on

her. Nor would Godfrey and Lydia do that, since they did not even dare to breathe too loudly in front of

her.

Apart from Samuel, she could not think of anyone else who could come up with such an idea.

"My original intentions were simply for the sake of the Sue family," Samuel said.

Sue family?

It was difficult to say whether he was referring to the old lady's family or Yvonne's family.

"Where’s Yvonne?" the old lady asked.

Samuel's phone rang at that exact moment and he put it on loudspeaker when answering the call.

"Samuel, I just talked to Liam. He’s willing to continue the collaboration with the Sue family," Yvonne's

voice came from the phone.

Both Godfrey and Lydia were dumbfounded. They had no idea when Yvonne left home.

"Grandma’s here at our home. She must be very happy to hear that news," Samuel said.

The old lady reluctantly forced a smile and said," Thank you for your efforts, Yvonne. Please come to

Grandma's house for dinner the day after next."

"Thank you, Grandma."

The old lady stood up, looked directly at Samuel, and said, "Samuel, if you even have the slightest

thought of coveting our Sue family’s assets, I advise you to get rid of those ideas. I will never let you

succeed."

"Don't worry, Grandma. I'm not interested in the Sue family's properties." Samuel did not think much of

the Sue family's status. How much could their assets be worth when they were nothing more than a

second-rate family?

After the old lady left, Lydia-who had been kept in the dark over everything-questioned Samuel,"

Samuel, did you and Yvonne plan this? Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?"

"Mom, aren't you going to vent a bit? Don't you want to let out all that anger from the humiliation you've

suffered in the Sue family all these years?" Samuel asked back.

Lydia was taken aback by that. What happened that day was indeed venting on her behalf. The old

lady would never have come to their house if not for Samuel's arrangements.

"Moreover, the Sue family's relatives won’t ever dare t o underestimate any of you in the future. At the

very least, the project in Yvonne's hands can ensure that she is on the same level as Harvey," Samuel

continued.

Lydia was speechless. She could not find any fault with it even if she wanted to.

The incident made waves amongst the Sue family relatives. Yvonne’s status as the person-in-charge of

the project would no doubt cause her status in the company to rise. Several of the Sue family's young

women who had always looked down on Yvonne were angry and dissatisfied for a moment. They had

no intention of letting Yvonne ride on their head.

"Don't be afraid! We still have a chance to marry into a rich family. With that big a betrothal gift, they're

surely a big family even if they weren't the Hannigan family."

"Yes, us sisters have already come to a unanimous agreement. No matter which one of us marries into

the Hannigan family, we must protect each other and refrain from getting too close to Yvonne."

"She’s still a woman, after all. The Sue family can't possibly fall into her hands alone. Don't worry too

much. Harvey will have a way to deal with her in the

future."

The group of sisters, minus Yvonne, started a movement against Yvonne for no apparent reason.

When Yvonne returned home, Lydia secretly called Yvonne into her room.

"Yvonne, tell me honestly. Is there anything you’re hiding from me?" Lydia asked. 1

"No. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?” Yvonne was panicking, but she remained calm and

composed on the surface.

"Why do I feel like Samuel's a completely different person? You didn't even see the calmness that he

had when he was talking to your grandma today. Is there even anyone from the entire Sue family who

dares to talk to the old lady with that attitude?" Lydia asked. 2

Yvonne smiled. Although she did not see Samuel's show of strength, she was actually very scared

when she heard the plan from Samuel. Nevertheless, she chose to believe in Samuel and the facts

have proven that her decision to do that was correct. 1

"Mom, no matter what, the most important thing is that it benefits us."
