Chapter 155


    Percival slightly raised his eyes, his stern face devoid of any expression. His half-closed eyes


    glimmered with a dangerous light.


    Seeing this, Thomas immediately chimed in. "Please show some respect. Ms. Hawthorn is our master''s


    fiancée."


    In front of others, Thomas referred to Percival as his master.


    Paul scoffed, his disdainful gaze brazenly sizing up Vivienne. "Fiancée? Did Grandpa lose his mind to


    choose such a girl with no background at all for you?"


    This was something that many members of the Ellington family couldn''tprehend. Richard was so


    partial to Percival, so how could he arrange a marriage with Vivienne, a girl with no background at all?


    However, because of this, many had ulterior motives. They thought if they could find a strong alliance


    with a powerful family, with the support of a powerful father-inw, they mightpete with Percival for


    the head of the family.


    Paul obviously thought so too. "She is indeed pretty. She’s suitable for a fling, but not for marriage. We,


    born into the Ellington family, should know that only daughters from noble families like the Brooks are


    suitable for marriage into our family."


    His gaze fell on Arabe''s face. Arabe timely showed him a shy smile as he pleasingly said, "Only


    the likes of Arabe are worthy of entering our family''s door."


    "I didn''t know that our family had such a rule!" Before Paul could continue to ingratiate himself with


    Arabe by humiliating Vivienne, a cold, angryugh from Richard came from Percival''s car.


    "Paul, did you set this rule yourself?!"


    "Grandfather..." Paul''s face changed as he saw Percival holding up his phone at him, disying


    Richard''s stern face.


    He didn''t expect Percival to call Richard.


    "Did I allow you to go to Havenwood?" Richard''s contemptuous gaze nced at Arabe. "Since you


    disobeyed me and went anyway, don''t bothering back! Men who only think of living under a


    woman''s skirt don''t deserve to stay in the Ellington family!"


    "Grandfather!" Paul was shocked. He didn''t understand why Richard wouldn''t support his marriage to


    the Brooks family’s daughter, which was a great thing.


    "Also, Vivienne is the granddaughter-inw I personally chose. She’s not some random thing like you


    topare with!" Richard warned her. "You''d better respect her!"


    Arabe''s face changed drastically when she was referred to as a "random thing."


    "Richard, what do you mean?!" Tristan stood up to defend Arabe.


    "You''re not even qualified to talk to me!" Richard didn''t even give Tristan a nce.


    Tristan''s face also turned ugly; he was the adopted son of the Brooks family, and from Richard’s


    position, when he was unhappy, Tristan didn’t even qualify to step forward.


    “Percival!” Richard’s firepower switched to Percival again. “Don’t you know how to protect your own


    fiancée? Do you even deserve to marry Vivienne? Let me tell you, there are plenty of good men in the


    Ellington family. If you dare let Vivienne suffer, I will rece you!”


    Percival grunted, speaking unhurriedly, “Thomas.”


    He never intended to let Paul go. The reason he called Richard was because Vivienne often said that


    problems that could be solved by telling on others were not problems.


    So he tattled.


    Yes, he was following his fiancée’s lead.


    He was pretty good at it, too.


    "Yes!" Thomas had long been annoyed by Paul''s repeated provocations against Percival in Rivenwood.


    But then, considering they were all members of the Ellington family, and with Richard mediating, he


    couldn''t go too far.


    Now he could finally act without any concerns.


    Paul was totally stunned. To tell the truth, it was him who had encouraged Arabe to crash into


    Percival''s car just now. He had done simr things many times in Rivenwood, and each time he was


    just scolded by Richard and it was over.


    But he didn''t expect Richard to be so angry this time.


    "Thomas, you''re nothing but Percival''spdog. Touch me and see!" Paul still didn''t believe Percival


    would go too far.


    However, Thomas waved his hand in mid-air, and suddenly five or six people appeared, directly


    grabbing Paul and dragging him towards the alley.


    "When you beat him, remember to record it." Percival added leisurely. "I need to send it to Grandfather


    as proof."


    And so Paul was dragged into the alley and given a thorough beating, and Thomas, following Percival''s


    instructions, recorded the whole process of Paul getting beaten.

    "Percival! I''m your cousin! You''re doing this for a low-life..." Paul howled in pain.


    As soon as he began to insult Vivienne, Thomas, who was filming, reminded him. "This video is to be


    sent to the old master. If you continue to insult Ms. Hawthorn, I''m afraid when the old master sees it,


    you won''t just get this one beating."


    Paul immediately shut up. He was now only cursing at Percival and Thomas, and didn''t dare say


    another word about Vivienne.


    By the time Paul had taken his beating and was dragged out like a lifeless mutt, Thomas kindly had him


    dumped on Arabe''s parked Chevy.


    Arabe and Tristan were stunned.


    Arabe, feigning concern, asked, "Paul, are you alright?"


    Paul nced at Arabe and grunted, too pained to speak. He didn''t expect that Thomas would


    actually allow the beating. It was clear that there was no mercy shown.


    But as he gazed at Arabe, he thought of Richard, who was currently smitten by that nobody,


    Vivienne.


    Once he had Arabe wrapped around his finger, Richard''s attitude would surely change.


    After all, Arabe was the lost child the Brooks family had just found. The entire Brooks family had


    been heartbroken for her, as she had been lost and suffering for over a decade, longing topensate


    her for her hardships.


    As long as he could marry Arabe, the Brooks family would surely help him push Percival out of the


    family''s inheritance for Arabe''s sake.


    Arabe, though outwardly showing concern for Paul, looked down on him. Her gaze involuntarily


    Now, she was the beloveddy of one of Rivenwood''s four major families, the Brooks family. The only


    one worthy of her was Percival, and only she could stand by Percival''s side. Paul was nothing, and


    Vivienne was even less.


    With this thought in mind, she put on a different face than when she had dealt with Vivienne earlier and


    spoke to Percival in a gentle and soft voice. "I hit your car, Percival. I''ll naturallypensate you. Let''s


    connect on Facebook so we can discuss the damages."


    Percival didn''t even bother to look at her, and Thomas stepped in to stop her. "I''m sorry, but besides his


    fiancée, my master doesn''t friend other women or dogs on Facebook."
