Chapter 1179 Do it yourself
Dominic and Evans’s family were stunned, but Susan was the
first to react. “James, he’s your grandfather. How could you let him lay a hand on himself for the sake of an enemy? Don’t you have any respect for your elders?”
Upon hearing this, Amelia also grabbed James’s sleeve, but he grabbed her hand and sat down beside her. With his long legs crossed and his chin held high, he looked down on everyone and said, “Knowing that she’s my wife, he still hit her. Does that show any respect for me?”
Susan, who couldn’t hold back her anger, pointed at Amelia and accused her, “Grandfather knew she was from the Clark
family and was afraid she would marry you and infiltrate
the Evans family with a purpose. That’s why he said a few words to her. But she talked back and said it had nothing to do with her. It was clearly her disrespectful words that made grandfather hit her!”
The Evans family present also chimed in, “That’s right, James. You can’t ignore right and wrong. It was clearly her disrespect towards Dominic that came first. As an elder, shouldn’t he
have disciplined her?”
Amelia, who had originally wanted to let it go, slowly closed
her m outh upon hearing this reversal of right and wrong. Her clear eyes stared straight at Dominic.
In her opinion, although Domnic had never approved of her,
he was not a stubborn person who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. She didn’t expect him to choose silence.
Fortunately, Peter, who had witnessed the whole thing, spoke
up. “Amelia has always been polite. It was Dominic who had
nowhere to vent his anger and hit her before she could even finish speaking!”
Susan wanted to retort, but Peter s hut her down with one
sentence, “There’s full surveillance outside the castle. Let’s
watch the footage and talk!”
Upon hearing the request to check the surveillance footage, the number of people present decreased significantly. However, Susan persisted, “Brother, Grandpa only resorted to violence out of anger. You know it yourself. My mother,
Sebastian’s parents, and other Evans family members were
all killed by the Clark family. Yet, you married a woman from the Clark family. How could Grandpa not be angry? It was his anger that led him to vent his frustration through violence!”
Susan was quite eloquent and persuasive, but James was not
convinced. “The grudge against the Clark family is one thing, but hitting my wife is another. Let’s keep things separate.”
After speaking, James pointed to the two halves of a cane on the table and raised his chin. “Dominic, you taught me from a young age that when dealing with things, we should use the same methods as the other person. You owe me, so let’s settle the score with my wife first. Then we can talk about the Clark
family.”
In other words, no matter what these people say, James wants
Dominic to hit him with a stick to settle the score for his wife.
Otherwise, there will be no further discussion!
