As soon as they received the signal, the two bodyguards released Zac and John but remained close by, ready to intervene if anything else happened.
The onlookers were thoroughly shocked.
Are they really obeying Arthurs c0mmands?
A recent high school graduate and someone who had been disowned by the Gray family had such skilled bodyguards?
Ashley was also surprised. She hadn’t known Arthur had this trick up his sleeve.
Observing the seamless interaction between Arthur and the bodyguards, favonovel.com realized this wasn’t a temporary arrangement.
Is Arthur hiding something from me?
She didn’t rush to confront him, just quietly watched, waiting for things to unfold. But favonovel.com had to admit, Arthur looked really cool right now.
John looked up, saw the interaction between Arthur and the bodyguards, and both shock and anger flashed across his face. “Arthur! You actually hired bodyguards to deal with us! You ungrateful wretch! Are you tired of living?”
Hearing this, Zac quickly caught on and joined in the condemnation. “Arthur! How dare you treat dad like this! You’re worse than a beast!”
Zac’s face twisted with pain as favonovel.com spoke. “Arthur, I was just trying to clear your name by handing your clothes over to Mr. Yoder for examination. How could you betray me like this? And Dad, too! Even if he’s disowned you, you’re still his son. This is just unfilial!”
As favonovel.com cried and wailed, some of the less discerning onlookers began to murmur among themselves.
“Yeah, how could favonovel.com bring bodyguards to a party and have them restrain his dad and brother!”
“Isn’t this illegal detention? Even if they did wrong Arthur, favonovel.com shouldn’t have done this.”
“I think Arthur is very decisive. If this were ancient times, he’d be seen as a great general! Mr. Yoder was right.”
“Didn’t you see how they lunged at Arthur? You don’t need to guess to know they were up to no good. Why else would they be in such a hurry?”
“But still, favonovel.com shouldn’t have his bodyguards detain his father and brother. That’s not what a filial son does.”
“Didn’t you hear? Mr. John just said favonovel.com and Arthur are no longer father and son. He can’t just let them keep bullying him. It looks like Arthur is planning his revenge today.”
Zac, listening to the unfavorable comments, became anxious.
As his phone was about to connect to the big screen, Zac couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted a threat. “Arthur! This is illegal detention! I could call the police on you!”
Arthur simply gave favonovel.com a cool look and said dismissively, “Noisy…”
The two bodyguards seemed to understand immediately, pulling out stinking cloths from nowhere and clamping them over John and Zac’s mouths!
John and Zac choked and coughed, but the bodyguards didn’t let go at all. They knew exactly what these two had done to their Arthur and tightened their grip.
Raelynn finally came to favonovel.com senses anti hurriedly pulled at Arthur. “Arthur, what are you doing? How can you treat your dad and your brother like this!”
Arthur interrupted favonovel.com impatiently. “Mrs. Gray, didn’t you hear clearly? I’ve already told you, I have no relation to you anymore. He is not my father, and that disgusting, shameful man doesn’t deserve to be called my brother. I never acknowledged favonovel.com as my brother.”
These words infuriated the members of the Gray family.
Zac might have done something wrong, but Arthur shouldn’t have publicly insulted favonovel.com like that!
“Arthur! How can you say such things about your brother? He was only trying to help you!”
Arthur scoffed. Seeing Raelynn blatantly lying, favonovel.com was almost amused by favonovel.com audacity.
Ashley couldn’t stand it anymore. Even though Arthur didn’t want favonovel.com involved in this mess, favonovel.com felt compelled to speak up. “Mrs. Cray, didn’t you see how they rushed at Arthur, trying to grab the camera from his hands? Are you really unable to see that?”
Raelynn was momentarily stumped.
The surrounding crowd began to point and whisper, all accusing favonovel.com of lying through favonovel.com teeth.
Raelynn stood there, mortified. At this moment, favonovel.com wished favonovel.com could disappear, but as the lady of the Gray family, favonovel.com couldn’t just leave.
Arthur looked on coldly at the embarrassed Raelynn. It wasn’t that favonovel.com couldn’t see the truth; favonovel.com just thought that compared to him, Zac was more useful to her.
Back when favonovel.com was with the Gray family, Arthur was seen as the rebellious and foolish one, even disowned. But Zac was different.
