Chapter 28 The Dignity of Black Dragon
Oscar was the eldest grandson of the Lewis family. When he was beaten, everyone came out to defend him.
For a moment, Larry became the target of everyone's anger, even implicating Scott's family.
Chloe was scolded terribly again with all kinds of unbearable insults.
Some people even demanded that Victor take back Scott's shares.
Seeing everyone helping him, Oscar wore a smug smile.
He glanced at Larry and raised his head, thinking, 'You're just a dog of the Lewis family. How dare you hit me? You're courting death.'
Victor's face also showed anger.
This was a family meeting, and Larry, a son-in-law, actually dared to hit the eldest grandson of the Lewis family, Oscar.
Before Larry could speak, Maria slapped him on the head and angrily said, "You bastard, kneel down now."
Larry looked indifferent. Not only did he not kneel, but he also kicked Oscar, sending him flying six feet away, crashing hard into the corner of the sofa, making him feel very uncomfortable and cry out in pain.
"Larry..." Chloe was scared and hurriedly pulled Larry.
Immediately, she bent down to kneel and apologize. But Larry grabbed her and forcibly pulled her up.
"Bastard." Victor was furious, slapped the table, stood up abruptly, and coldly said, "You are too arrogant. From now on, you are no longer the son-in-law of the Lewis family. Get out."
"Apologize quickly, hurry up." Chloe kept tugging at Larry's sleeve.
"Larry, kneel down and admit your mistake," Maria also cursed. It was hard to get shares in the family business, and she didn't want Victor to take them back because Larry hit Oscar.
Larry remained unmoved and said calmly, "He's not qualified."
"You..." Victor was trembling with anger, breathing heavily.
"Grandpa, don't be angry." Julia quickly supported Victor, patting his back. "Grandpa, there's no need to be angry because of him. Just expel him from the Lewis family. Also, he's so arrogant because he must have Scott's backing."
"Yes," Someone echoed, "Scott thinks that with ten percent of the shares, he can do whatever he wants and doesn't respect you as the patriarch. He probably claims to be the head of the Lewis family now."
Maria's face changed with anger. She hated Larry to death.
And Scott had been hiding in the corner, not saying a word, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Chloe, it doesn't matter if we don't stay in the Lewis family. I'll take you away." Larry pulled Chloe to leave.
However, Chloe was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, with tears welling up in her eyes.
She had become the ugliest woman in Sunset City, the family's disgrace. She dreamed of gaining the family's recognition, and now there was a chance, but Larry ruined it.
She was grateful to Larry. It was him who restored her appearance. But at this moment, she suddenly felt very dissatisfied with him. Because it was him who made her family insult her again.
She shouted, "Larry, it's not hard to kneel down and admit your mistake. You're just a soldier, not a big shot."
Seeing Chloe's tears welling up, Larry felt heartbroken instantly. But he was Black Dragon, one of the Five Commanders. In his belief, he would never kneel down no matter what.
In the past, when he fell into enemy hands, was tortured, and beaten all over, he didn't kneel.
Now he was the son-in-law of the Lewis family, Chloe's husband. He had sworn not to let Chloe be sad or upset.
"He insulted Chloe. He should apologize," Larry pointed at Oscar and said, "Chloe has nothing to do with Leo. Leo cooperated with Legion Lord because I saved him when I was a soldier. He owes me a favor."
Larry didn't want Chloe to be wronged anymore, but he didn't want the Lewis family to know his true identity.
Hearing this, everyone understood. So that was what happened.
Larry continued, "You want an invitation to the Free King's succession ceremony. I can try to get one for you, but I hope you won't talk about Chloe anymore. Chloe, let's go."
After saying that, he ignored Chloe's objections and pulled her away.
He knew that Chloe would only be humiliated here. If it were someone else, he would kill them, but they were all members of the Lewis family. If he killed them, Chloe would never forgive him.
"Damn it." Watching Larry take Chloe away, Victor was trembling with anger. "The family meeting isn't over yet, and they just leave like that. It's completely disrespecting me. Take back five percent of Scott's shares."
He had long wanted to take back the shares but never had the chance. Taking this opportunity, he took back some shares but not all of them. Because he still counted on Chloe. If he pushed her too hard and she left the family again, the cooperation between Everjoy Company and Legion Lord would end.
Maria was very angry.
Five percent of the shares were worth millions of dollars.
She wished she could kill Larry.
However, Scott never spoke from beginning to end.
Harry, Oscar, Julia, and others were smug. Now that they had taken back five percent of Scott's shares, they would eventually take back the rest.
"Alright, this matter is over. Let's continue the meeting." After taking back half of Scott's shares, Victor said, "Now let's discuss how to get an invitation to the Free King's succession ceremony."
The Lewis family members started discussing again.
As for Larry saying he would help the Lewis family get an invitation, no one took it seriously.
A retired soldier, even if he had saved Leo, Leo had already repaid the favor and wouldn't help him get an invitation.
Someone spoke up, "By the way, isn't Julia's boyfriend Luke Foster from the Foster family? The Foster family is second only to the Four Great Families. If Luke asks the head of the Foster family, we can definitely get an invitation."
Hearing this, Julia looked smug, holding the arm of Luke sitting beside her.
Victor also looked at Luke sitting next to Julia, his gloomy face replaced with a smile. "Luke, why don't you go back and ask your dad to help the Lewis family get an invitation?"
Luke sat up straight. "That's not a problem, but I can't guarantee my dad will agree. After all, so many people are eyeing the invitations now. If he agrees to everyone, my dad will be too busy."
"Mr. Foster, you have to help the Lewis family."
"If your dad helps us, everything will be fine."
The Lewis family members spoke up one after another.
Julia raised her head proudly and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. Leave it to Luke." She glanced at Luke. "Right?"
Luke felt helpless. The Foster family was also busy with the invitations and hadn't gotten one yet. But he didn't want to be embarrassed in the Lewis family, so he nodded. "Of course, if my dad steps in, there won't be any problem."
At the family meeting, the entire Lewis family was flattering Luke.
