Chapter 258 Are You Being Serious?
Violet was dumbfounded.
She found it somewhat hard to believe,
Even though I don’t usually pay much attention to business affairs, how could a prominent figure in Riverton like Jonathan get married without anyone knowing?
Just as she was about to speak, Howard bluntly asked, “Dad, are you being serious? You… didn’t get deceived, did you?”
Howard furrowed his brows and looked at Ethan with suspicion.
Despite his lack of knowledge in certain areas, he could still differentiate between important and trivial matters.
He knew very well who Jonathan was. His father often cautioned him to be careful, warning him not to offend anyone connected to Jonathan as there would be severe consequences.
Although Jonathan kept a low profile and was mysterious, Howard was still aware of whether he was married or not. After all, Jonathan’s marriage was such a piece of headline–worthy
news.
Clutching his chest, Ethan was almost breathless while pointing at Howard. “Y–You-”
After a long pause, he was still unable to utter a word.
Realizing her husband’s genuine anger, Violet also felt a sense of panic. She hurried over to calm him down. “Is what you’re saying true? Did Howard truly offend… Jonathan’s wife?”
With pain written all over his face, Ethan retrieved a pill from his pocket and swallowed it with the aid of the cup of water handed to him by Violet. Only then did he start to feel some relief.
Precisely thanks to the pill, Ethan gradually calmed down. “Axel confirmed it himself. He is Jonathan’s trusted associate, so it must be true.”
Besides, Jonathan isn’t one to engage in frivolous activities.
At this moment, Howard finally realized the severity of the situation.
So, the man who had appeared that night was indeed Jonathan!

He broke out in a cold sweat and attempted to sit beside Ethan. But as he lifted his foot, he realized his bone was fractured. His action caused him to grimace in pain.
While reprimanding him, Violet anxiously inquired, “So, what do we do now?”
Will Jonathan bring ruin to our family?
Ethan took a deep breath. With his voice carrying a hint of relief, he added, “Thankfully, the Lawson Family doesn’t intend to wipe us out. They purely made one request.”
Gazing sternly at Howard, he continued, “You simply need to apologize to Mrs. Lawson.”
Howard somewhat hesitated when he heard that. “Are you asking me to apologize to that woman?”
Well, Jonathan is undoubtedly influential. So, I won’t think twice if Dad asks me to apologize to him.
But asking me to apologize to the woman who had struck me on the head?
I don’t think I’m down for it.
Yes, she is a beauty. But she is also pretty feisty. I doubt Jonathan will truly be attracted to someone like
her.
After contemplating momentarily, Howard suggested, “Dad, you should verify further. What is her background? Who are her family members? You must find out all these.”
Ethan glared at Howard, his anger evident. “Why are you concerned about her background? Regardless, she is now married to Jonathan-”
But then again, it’s not confirmed. After all, there has been no news of Jonathan’s marriage.
After a moment of thought, Ethan issued a direct order. “Regardless of the cumstances. Jonathan now admits she is his wife. You must apologize!”
Howard pursed his lips, fully expressing his reluctance. However, he somewhat crumbled when he met his father’s gaze filled with murderous intent.
Powerless, he glanced at Violet. His tone was tinged with a hint of pleading. “Mom…”
Just as Violet was about to interject to persuade him, Ethan waved his hand decisively. “It’s settled then. If you refuse to apologize, then so be it. But you will no longer be a part
of the Sims Family. I cannot let the company our family has painstakingly built to be ruined because of you.”

Having married Ethan for decades, Violet naturally could sense that his words just now weren’t mere threats. The entire Sims Family will face difficulties in the future if Howard indeed has offended Jonathan completely.
