Chapter 394
Theo glared at Arnold’s disgusting mug with a cold glint in his eyes.
Could such a man really be called a father?
What kind of family environment did Ellinor grow up in?
“Mr. Arnold, first off, you’ve gotta be worthy of being called ‘dad‘ by my wife before I even consider calling you my father–in–law. But as a father, you don’t seem to have done your job. So in my eyes, you’re not even a man.”
Arnold felt pressure and guilt, but he wanted to defend himself. But when he saw Theo’s icy stare, he felt unprecedented fear.
Theo’s attitude towards him had completely changed.
When they first met, the handsome young man had shown some respect and courtesy towards his elder.
But now, all he could see was bottomless coldness and threatening warnings.
In this moment, Arnold realized he was worth nothing in front of Theo.
Only because of Ellinor could he get a shred of respect from Theo. Without Ellinor, he wouldn’t even be allowed through the Blanchet family’s door.
As for Sheila, she couldn’t even compete with Ellinor for the position of Mrs. Blanchet, she couldn’t even enter Theo’s line of sight!
Although Arnold was old, he didn’t want to swallow his pride to please Theo, but he really wanted to establish a relationship with the Blanchet family, and he didn’t want to miss this opportunity
So Arnold tried to put on a kind smile, desperately explaining to Ellinor, “Ellinor, don’t misunderstand, I had some drinks before I came here, so I might have said some unwise things. I was worried about you because you haven’t been home for a while and didn’t tell me about your marriage. When I heard you were with the Blanchet family, I really wanted to see you! Could you talk to Theo and ask him not to kick me out?”
Ellinor was still leaning in Theo’s arms. After listening to Arnold’s words, she turned her head and looked at the middle–aged man, who seemed familiar
yet strange.
“Mr. Arnold, you are a good father to Sheila, not me. You came here today to drive me away for Sheila, not to see me.”
Arnold’s smile suddenly froze; he cursed Ellinor in his heart for being ignorant, but considering Theo was present, he had to force an even thicker smile.
“Ellinor, I already said this is a misunderstanding! Come on, don’t be mad at me; what can’t we get past?”
Ellinor’s eyes were full of sarcasm.
She suddenly felt relieved; thankfully, this spineless, principle–less man wasn’t her biological father; otherwise, she might hate her own genes.
Ignoring Arnold, Ellinor said to Devin. ‘Devin, you remember their faces, right? If they come again, don’t hold back.”
“Of course, Mrs. Blanchet!”
Devin respectfully lowered his head in agreement, then lifted his chin, signaling a few servants to drive Arnold out, letting him reunite with his wife and daughter.
After getting nothing. Arnold became angry, lost his mind, and revealed his true self.
While being dragged out by the Blanchet family’s servants, Arnold gritted his teeth and yelled, “Ellinor!… How could you treat your father like this? You’ll get your comeuppance, this won’t end well for you!”
Theo’s eyes turned cold; he wouldn’t allow anyone to curse Ellinor in front of him. He signaled Devin to teach Arnold a lesson before letting him go.
