Chapter 120: Acting Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Clarence was surprised that Peony had shown up so quickly. “Mom, what are you doing here?”

Penny pointed at Clarence’s nose. “What am I doing here?

“I can’t come here now?

“Were you going to tear down my Humanity Hall if I didn’t come?

“Clarence, I didn’t expect this to be the kind of person you were.

“If it weren’t for William, Lisa would have shut out the Murphy family yesterday. Today, you messed with Humanity Hall and tricked Master Williams again. What are you trying to do?

“Are you unhappy that you weren’t able to bring down the Murphy family?”

Peony was furious. From her perspective, Clarence could not do anything right and was determined to bring down the Murphy family.

.

Armstrong’s eyes were fierce. “Clarence, I know you’re angry. However, didn’t I just criticize you a little bit and refuse to give you the Murphy family’s shares?

“Do you have to do this over that?

“I didn’t give you the shares because you’re impulsive and can’t do things calmly and properly.

“It would’ve been a bad thing if you had gotten the shares. Why can’t you understand my good intentions?”

Clarence would not be able to give a convincing explanation. “Mom and Dad, let me explain.

“Hasn’t the incident with Lisa been taken care of? I had Lisa call the business owners last night. They’re not going to go after Murphy Property anymore.”

Peony and the rest sneered, believing that Clarence was in denial.

It was William who had called people and used his connections last night to save the Murphy Property Development Group from being shut out.

‘How dare Clarence take credit?

‘Does he think we’re blind?’

“Is this all thanks to you, then?” Belle was amused.

Melody laughed. “Mom, you can never wake someone up when they insist on pretending to be asleep.”

Clarence had no idea whether to laugh or cry.

‘When have I ever pretended to be asleep? I’ve been wide awake this whole time.’

Peony glanced impatiently at Clarence. “We’re not arguing with you about this.

“Anyway, ask Master Williams to return to Humanity Hall immediately.”

Just then, Master Williams walked out from Thirteen Hall’s backyard. “Director Wanda, I’m sorry. I’m not going back to Humanity Hall.”

“What?”

Ponny looked at Master Williams in surprise and quickly stepped forward, adopting a gentler attitude. “Master Williams, why is that?

“You’ve been at Humanity Hall for over twenty years.

“Didn’t you owe me a favor? You promised me you’d stay in Humanity Hall.

“Why are you leaving now? This must be Clarence’s doing. He got into your head, didn’t he?”

Penny gritted her teeth in anger, stomping her feet.

Master Williams glanced at Clarence, then at Belle and Melody. “Clarence has nothing to do with it.

“You’re the one who violated the original purpose of the clinic, Director Wanda.

“As you said, Director Wanda, I’ve been at Humanity Hall for more than twenty years. Even if I owed you a favor, I should’ve paid it back by now.

“I just want to stay at Thirteen Hall now.”

With that said, Master Williams turned around and walked into Thirteen Hall’s backyard without waiting for Peony’s reply.

Peony yelled at Master Williams. “Master Williams, you’ve gone too far.

“I’ve taken care of you for more than twenty years. Are you just going to leave without bothering about Humanity Hall?”

Master Williams did not look back. He disappeared.

“Clarence, this is all your fault. What kind of spell have you put Master Williams under?”

Peony rushed forward and slapped Clarence several times.

Slap...

Clarence’s expression sank. He lowered his voice. “Mom, don’t go too far.

“As I said, I didn’t ask Master Williams to come here. He came here himself.”

Gunther got in front of Clarence and pushed Peony away.

Peony staggered back several steps.

Armstrong immediately rushed forward and helped his wife. “What’s the matter?

“Clarence, are you going to hit your mother-in-law?”

Clarence’s voice was icy. “Dad, how could I hit Mom? She was just way out of line just now.”

He had long been tolerant toward Peony and the rest. If it had not been for Miranda, how could he have allowed them to behave so arrogantly?

He had been tolerating them for Miranda’s sake.

Belle glared coldly at him. “Clarence, you’re so full of yourself. How dare you have someone touch my mom?”

Melody pointed at Clarence’s nose. “Clarence, did you just say that my mom was out of line?

“My mom’s your elder, no matter how out of line she was! Who do you think you are?”

“You little loser, what are you trying to do, then, if you’re not trying to fight me?” Peony yelled at Clarence like a b*tch.

She rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward, wanting to slap Clarence again.

Gunther’s face instantly darkened. He looked murderous. “If anyone lays a finger on Master Howard again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

He had been assigned to protect Clarence.

If Peony acted up again, Gunther would not care about whether she was Clarence’s mother-in-law.

“You!”

Penny took a step back.

She dared to behave arrogantly in front of Clarence but not in front of Gunther.

She was a little intimidated by the murderous aura Gunther exuded.

Peony was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

“Forget it. People like him would hit even their own mothers-in-law. He’s lost his mind. Let’s just go.” Armstrong shook his head and dragged his wife out of the Thirteen Hall.

Suddenly, a gold card slipped out of Penny’s pocket and landed on the floor.

“This...”

Clarence walked up and picked up the gold card. ‘Isn’t this the access card for Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One?

‘Why is it with Peony?’

He touched his pocket, and sure enough, his access card was gone.

Clarence figured he had dropped it last night during the confrontation with Lisa in Miranda’s ward.

“What are you doing, loser?”

“It’s mine. Give it back!” Like a cat who had had its tail stomped on, Peony rushed forward fiercely and snatched the access card from Clarence’s hand.

Clarence was a little speechless. “Mom, this access card is mine.”

“Yours?

“Do you know what this is?”

Peony laughed and pointed mockingly at Clarence’s nose. “This is Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One’s access card.

“William gave it to us.

“Hmph! People like you would never be able to live in Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One.”

Clarence frowned. “William gave it to you?”

Peony seemed a little evasive. She quickly explained, “William gave it to me.

“He didn’t hand it to me personally, but I found it under Miranda’s hospital bed.

“William must have been too shy to give it to us, so he dropped it there on purpose.

“The boy has done so much. He was worried that I wouldn’t want it, so he pretended to drop it on the ground.”

Peony had found Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One’s access card in Miranda’s ward last night.

Peony was sure that the Villa One in Dragon Soar Heights belonged to William.

Even if William had not planned to give it to her, Peony had made up her mind that William would have to give her Villa One if he wanted to be with Miranda.

Clarence was speechless. “Mom, it’s really mine. How did something that Leanne gave me become William’s?”

“Bah!”

Penny viciously spat, “Do you really think you know Leanne?

“I looked it up online. It’s Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One. It’s worth a billion dollars.

“What right does a little loser like you have to live in a villa like that?

“Dear, girls, come on. Let’s check out the villa now.”

With that said, Peony and the others left, leaving Clarence speechless.
