Chapter 229 An Innate Kingly Aura
Sterling's words were full of authority.
He glanced at everyone present, and they all hung their heads, not daring to make a move.
Sterling placed the ring symbolizing the head of the family on the table, but no one dared to take it.
Blair's face looked terrible, but he said nothing.
Sterling said coldly, "My wife is young and thin-skinned. She usually doesn't like to interact with you all to avoid any unpleasantness."
"But today, you came to her, made her unhappy, and even humiliated her for being unable to have children. Today, I'll show you what it means that the dignity of the head of the family is inviolable."
At Sterling's command, the bodyguards rushed in and pinned everyone in the living room, except for Anson, to the ground.
Blair's blood pressure soared with anger, and the elders trembled, shirking responsibility, saying Blair forced them to come.
Today, they finally realized Sterling was a madman.
They had come on a whim, listening to Blair's words to trouble Bella, but now they feared they would lose their dignity here.
Bella was a bit scared of Sterling's madness. She pulled Sterling's hand, asking him not to be so impulsive.
In fact, she had imagined today's scene countless times.
Since she knew she couldn't have children, she feared these family relatives would find out and come to interrogate her.
She had expected this day, but she didn't think it would come so quickly.
At first, Bella was very scared, but when they stormed into The Windsor Villa aggressively, she had anticipated it and instead calmed down.
Sterling secretly squeezed her hand, reassuring her.
Today, they dared to bully Bella while he was away.
Who knows what these self-important elders would do to his wife next time?
Sterling wouldn't allow anything or anyone to threaten Bella.
Blair, held by the bodyguards, still glared and shouted, "Sterling, are you really going to go against the Windsor family for a woman? We didn't agree to you marrying this woman in the first place. The position of the Windsor family head's wife is so important."
"You were so hasty, and now this woman can't have children, yet you still protect her. It's ridiculous. How can you be worthy of being a Windsor family descendant? Without an heir, it's a mistake. How will you face your parents then? Do you have the face to see them?"
Sterling found Blair's words annoying. He raised his hand, signaling the bodyguards to gag Blair with a cloth.
Everyone present trembled, not daring to speak.
The only one still sitting on the sofa was Anson. He looked at Sterling's actions with anger in his eyes and said in a weary voice, "Sterling, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Sterling's lips curled into a cold smile, "Retribution? When you stormed into my home to bully my wife, weren't you afraid of retribution? When you humiliated my wife, a junior, with your words, weren't you afraid of retribution?"
The living room seemed to freeze, the atmosphere tense, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
Bella didn't want Sterling to do anything more excessive and irreversible. She tugged on Sterling's sleeve, "Sterling, I feel a bit dizzy. Can you take me back to the room?"
Seeing Bella's pale and weak appearance, Sterling immediately picked her up and said to them, "I hope this is the last time I see you here."
"As I said, anyone who wants the position of head of the family can come and take it anytime. I'll leave the ring here. If none of you have the guts, then get out now."
Sterling carried Bella upstairs without looking back, leaving the trembling relatives downstairs in awe.
The aura of the head of the family wasn't something they could just claim. Sterling's demeanor as a leader wasn't something they could emulate.
Sterling had an innate kingly aura.
And they had no choice but to bow their heads in submission. Sterling single-handedly supported the Windsor Group, and no one could shake it.
Soon, the news of Sterling's internal cleanup of the Windsor family spread quickly.
Caleb also got the news. When he tried to contact Blair, Sterling's people found out, so he had to give up.
He had hoped to take advantage of Sterling's cleanup of the Windsor family to cause trouble, but he didn't expect Sterling to have such means.
Sterling was still investigating who leaked the news about Bella's infertility to the Windsor family relatives.
Later, Sterling thought the news was likely leaked by Caleb. No one else would dare to reveal Bella's infertility. He felt he had to speed up his actions against Caleb.
The commotion at The Windsor Villa directly caused more severe internal division within the Windsor family.
Bella was very worried. This matter had finally been exposed, and she had lost her appetite these days.
Zoey could only persuade Bella to eat more, "Mrs. Windsor, don't mind those people. Mr. Windsor has already said not to pay attention to them. They are just here to upset you and cause trouble for Mr. Windsor. If you can't eat, wouldn't you be falling into their trap?"
Bella turned to Zoey and smiled, "Zoey, you seem to make sense. If we immerse ourselves in sadness, can't eat, and worry every day, we would indeed be falling into their trap."
Zoey said happily, "That's right, Mrs. Windsor. We should be happy and cheerful every day to annoy them."
Bella thought Zoey was right, "Exactly, why should they get to use dirty tricks while we just take the bullying?"
Bella thought to herself, 'I won't let them get to me. I will live happily and joyfully, just to defy them.'
"The more they want to make us angry, the less we should be angry. Zoey, make me something delicious." Bella didn't expect Zoey's words to soothe her uneasy feelings.
Since the Windsor family relatives caused a scene at The Windsor Villa, all projects in the group were halted, making progress difficult.
But Sterling was Sterling. He had his methods. Within a few days, those people obediently put the projects back on schedule.
At this moment, Sterling stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, with Colin and Micah standing beside him.
Holding a wine glass, he looked down like a king overlooking everything.
Colin laughed, "I didn't expect you to have such means this time. Your swift and decisive actions have made those old guys in the Windsor family much more stable. It seems they won't dare to bully Bella again."
Micah added, "Yes, those old guys have been active for so long; it's time for them to rest."
Sterling's eyes were dark, "It's not enough. I've already had people reclaim their shares in the Windsor Group."
