Chapter 31:.

Justin thought of the genius the doctor had sung praises of when they were at the hospital a moment ago, and nodded with great interest. “Okay.”

Unfortunately, as soon as the two entered the lobby, one of his assistants approached. In a low voice, he said, “Mr. Hunt, you have guests from your family home. They have gone up to the top floor.”

Justin’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He approached the elevator and, with a somber expression, asked, “When did they get here?”

“They went up five minutes ago. The hotel belongs to the Hunts, after all, so the front desk and the lobby manager couldn’t stop them.”

“Useless bunch!”

Justin cursed angrily and stepped into the elevator.

Lawrence let out a silent sigh. He wouldn’t be of any help in the situation upstairs anyway, so he headed for the control room on his own.

In the presidential suite on the top floor.noveldrama

Pete, red-eyed, clenched his fists and looked at the people in front of him.

More than a dozen black-clad bodyguards on both sides stared at each other as they faced each other.

Chester, who wore a hideous expression, stepped between them and Pete. He said, “What are you doing, Howard, Justin won’t let you get away with this when he gets back.”

Howard Hunt, the man in front of him and also his second cousin, had sinister eyes and an aquiline nose. He smiled sinisterly and said, “This has nothing to do with you, Chester. Get out of the way. I’m here on Grandfather’s orders to bring that disrespectful little bastard back to the family home.”

Chester disagreed. “Whatever you want to do, do it only when Justin gets back here! You can’t take him now.”

Howard’s expression turned cold and he said, “Don’t think too much of yourself, Chester. What makes you think you have any say when you don’t give a damn about the family? Get lost.”

Chester was so furious that his face was all flushed.

The only reason he could play all day was that Justin had taken all the pressure off him. Besides, his nephew was even his team leader. How could he ignore what was going on?

He said angrily, “I won’t let you!”

Howard immediately cracked his knuckles. It was obvious at first glance that he was very skilled at fighting. “Don’t blame me if I don’t hold back, then!”

No sooner had he said that than a cold voice reached them, “Who do you intend not to hold back with?”

His voice, low and deep as the timbre of a cello, lacked emotion. It made Howard stiffen, and he immediately drew back his fists and flashed an ingratiating smile at the approaching man. “You’re back, Justin.”

Justin’s big, tall form stepped in front of Chester and Pete, barred Howard’s way. His bottomless gaze settled on Howard, and the mole in the corner of his eye exuded murderous intent as he demanded, “Who said you could come here?”

Fear flashed in Howard’s eyes. He touched his nose and replied with a smile, “I’m not so fearless as to come in here and mess with you either, Justin, but those are Grandpa’s orders. He’s said that since you’re back with that disrespectful boy, you should go back to the family home. That way, you can also discuss how Pete should be punished.”

A somber Justin stepped forward. “Why does he have to be punished?”

Howard was so frightened he took a step back. “Why are you feigning ignorance, Justin? That boy has a mental problem. How nice was the great-aunt to him? Just because he got into a little argument with her, he pushed her down the stairs and gave her a brain hemorrhage. Even now, he’s still in the hospital with his life in danger. Someone has to answer for this.”

A large family had great power.

The reason the Hunts were able to maintain their position at the top in the United States was that they had geniuses in every industry.

Justin’s permanent residence was in New York, but the family home had always been in California.

During the vacations, the Hunts would return and get together. Disciplinary actions toward family members also took place in the family home.

Justin had always respected his great-uncle, who watched over the family home. Howard was his great-uncle’s grandson. It was he who would have to take on the responsibility of watching over the family home in the future.

Justin narrowed his icy eyes. “I told you it wasn’t Pete.”

Howard shrugged. “Do you have any proof? Because we have witnesses. Besides, Pete was indeed upstairs when it happened. There were indications that the two of them were arguing.”

Justin clenched his jaw. “I’m already looking for Dr. Anti to take a look at Grandma.”

Howard curved his lip. “It’s not easy to find Anti.”

Justin let out a cold snort. “I’ll drag her here if I have to!”

“Justin, since you’re staying here with Pete, my side of the family has been egging everyone on and causing a lot of discontent among them.”

Howard shot a scornful look at Pete and continued. “Besides, who knows where that kid comes from? We don’t know who his mother is either. To top it off, he’s even mentally ill. Even we’re not convinced he’ll become your heir, let alone everyone on my side of the family!

Grandfather asked me to talk to you. You’re still young and healthy, Justin. Wouldn’t it be nice to have another child? As for Pete, give it up.”

“Shut up!”

Justin’s eyes flashed with murderous intent and he warned, “Pete is my son, and he’s the only one I’ll ever have!”

Howard was intimidated by his presence.

As caretakers of the family home, his immediate family had a very high status among the Hunts. Even all the previous heads of the family were expected to treat them with courtesy.

However, his grandfather had mentioned earlier that Justin was different from the previous heads of the family. He had other identities, so they were not to mess with him.

Howard also respected – and even slightly feared – Justin. But the more he was like that, the more he felt that Pete, as his son, was not outstanding enough.

Howard was silent for a moment. Then he took a step back and lowered his head as he said, “My side of the family is making a lot of noise. By next weekend at the latest, Grandpa will have to hold a family reunion. If he can’t prove his innocence by then, the Hunts will kick Peter Hunt out of the family.”

After saying this, he turned and walked away.

A terrified Chester asked, “What do we do, Justin?”.

Justin, who had a dark and gloomy look on his face, did not answer.

The most ideal solution was to find Anti and have her prove her son’s innocence.

But if they couldn’t find her….

He looked down dispassionately, his eyes cold.

If it hadn’t been for his father, who had insisted that he take care of the family, he wouldn’t have been bothered by an insignificant presence like the Hunts.

But now, did they have the guts to kick their son out of the family?

If so, it was time for someone else to take the place of America’s number one family.

A sharp look crossed Justin’s eyes. He turned back and looked at Pete, his voice soft and honeyed as he said, “There’s nothing to be afraid of, Pete.”

Pete lowered his head and walked into the studio.

He wasn’t afraid.

But Great-Grandma had treated him very well. That was also the reason he hadn’t said anything about the tutors she had sent, even though they were troublemakers. He had kept quiet because he didn’t want to tarnish great-grandmother’s name. After all, her life was still in danger, so she had no way to speak for him.

He also didn’t want great-grandmother to die.

Chester returned to the suite next door as he looked at the rear view of his dejected little nephew. He let out a sigh and logged into the game. At first he thought his team leader was depressed, but what he saw was that Sweetcherry was currently active in the game….

He was shocked for a moment. Then, he logged into the other party’s voice chat and said, “Here I was, thinking you were feeling depressed and out of it! I didn’t expect you still felt like playing.”

Downstairs, Cherry, who was sitting on the couch, blinked when she heard him. She asked, “… Why would I be sad?”.

What had happened with Pete?

Chester replied, “That’s right. Don’t worry, your father will definitely find Anti and prove your innocence.”

Cherry was confused.
