The Legendary Man Chapter 324

Shut Up

“Lydia Maxwell!”

In that instant, Zayne’s expression changed.

He didn’t expect that Lydia, who didn’t dare to talk back to him since she was little, would defy him in public.

“What’s going on here? What’s happening?”

When both Lydia and Zayne were shouting at each other and not backing down, causing the entire atmosphere to become awkward, a deep voice sounded in the hall all of a sudden.

The next moment, an old man wearing a black robe appeared before everyone.

The man wasn’t just anyone. Instead, it was the head of the Maxwell family, Bernard.

“Mr. Maxwell!” the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground shouted in a hurry.

The moment he saw Bernard, he got worked up as if he saw his savior.

At the same time, Zayne and Lydia turned and shouted in unison, “Dad!”

Bernard frowned subconsciously when he saw Zayne and Lydia having a heated dispute. “What are you two doing? There are so many people watching! Why are you yelling at one another? Don’t you know what day it is today? Are you trying to make them laugh at our family?”

“Dad, I’m not trying to pick on her at all! Lydia’s the one who’s trying to look for a fight!” Without waiting for Lydia to say anything, Zayne stretched his hand and pointed at Jonathan. “This man beat Matthew and his wife up in front of everyone! I got a few men to catch that b*stard, but Lydia kept stopping me. She even said that if I wish to catch him, I have to do that over her dead body! Dad, don’t you agree that she’s deliberately trying to pick a fight?”

“What? Matthew got beaten up?” Bernard immediately looked at the middle-aged man on the ground. However, the moment he saw Matthew Leeroy kneeling, he hurriedly helped the latter up. “Are you okay, Matthew?”

“I’m fine, Mr. Maxwell!” Matthew gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Maxwell, you have to make sure that man pays for what he did to me today. I can’t believe I got beaten up at the Maxwells’ banquet. If my dad knows about this, I’m sure he won’t let this slide!”

“Don’t worry! I’ll give you a good explanation!” After that, Bernard’s expression darkened as he turned toward Jonathan. “You’re invited by Lydia?”

Jonathan nodded as he replied, “Yes!”

Bernard’s tone was downright frosty. “Don’t you know what day and occasion this is? How dare you beat someone up on an occasion like this! Didn’t you think about the consequences?”

The banquet that day was the last event of the Maxwells before they leave Yaleview.

It was their way of preserving the Maxwells’ pride.

However, no one would have expected that someone would dare to publicly beat up a guest during the last event of the Maxwells, and the person who was beaten up was none other than the heir of the Leeroy family, Matthew Leeroy.

It was as though Jonathan had humiliated the Maxwell family in public.

Jonathan chuckled coldly when he heard what Bernard said. “Do I need to choose a good time if I feel like beating anyone up? I’ll hit him whenever I want when he pisses me off! Why do I even need to look at the time and place?”

Has he gone crazy?

That was what everyone was thinking the moment they heard what Jonathan said.

That’s Bernard, the head of the Maxwell family! It’s one of the four prominent families in Yaleview! How could he speak to Bernard like that? Has he gone tired of living?

Instantly, Bernard’s expression turned cold after he heard what Jonathan said. “It seems that you’re here to cause trouble on purpose! If that’s the case, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson! Guards! Tie that brat up!”
