When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 149: Don’t Be Afraid, Your Brother-in-Law Is Here

At this moment, Uncle Lane just came in. He quickly tried to mediate, afraid of a physical conflict, believing that any problem could be solved and that everyone should discuss things calmly.

Before the male host arrived, he played the peacemaker to prevent the female host from being harmed.

However, he was scrutinized by the bureau chief’s wife and directly mocked, "Ha! You’re her husband? Quite the choice, finding an old man! But... he doesn’t seem to have any official authority! I thought this brother-in-law was a big shot!"

Feeling extremely awkward, Uncle Lane quickly explained, "Not the husband, I’m just the lady’s driver!"

"Ha! Having a driver is so special?!" The fur-clad woman disdained him, thinking money was nothing. Nowadays, it was all about power! In Argent, nobody could shake her husband’s status!

The official, with a cold face, impatiently said to the teacher, "You must expel this kid today! Or I’ll expel you!"

The teacher broke out in a cold sweat, just about to plead when—

"Expulsion must be approved by me."

A low magnetic voice came from the doorway, turning everyone’s heads—

Adrian Lancaster walked in with his hands in his pockets, his imposing and innate charisma daunting everyone.

The bureau chief was visibly scared, his legs weak, "Mr. Lancaster...?" He thought he had seen it incorrectly.

Adrian Lancaster didn’t even glance at him.

He embraced his wife’s shoulder, gently and dotingly brushing aside her long hair from her face, "Honey, they didn’t do anything to you, did they?"

This question not only shocked the bureau chief and his wife, but also surprised Faye Turner.

However, she quickly collected herself, a slight smile playing on her lips, "I’m fine, hubby, but you need to stand up for my brother." Mentioning this, her mood became heavy again.

Adrian Lancaster saw Milo Turner’s face full of slap marks and Chloe Gable’s eyes red with crying. Mother and son were huddled together, shivering with fear.

His heart felt like it was swallowed by a thousand pounds of dynamite, extremely annoyed!

For no other reason, he was first and foremost a person of justice.

"Who did it?" Adrian Lancaster frowned, coldly interrogating.

The bureau chief’s wife saw the situation worsening and panicked inwardly.

The bureau chief’s face changed, wearing a forced smile, "Mr. Lancaster, please calm down, there must be a misunderstanding here." Inside, he was already trembling.

At this point, Faye Turner pointed at the fur-clad woman, "She did it!"

Then she looked at her brother, her voice much softer, "Milo, tell everyone the whole story."

Milo Turner was just a child, clearly frightened, and dared not speak. Even before he spoke, the other side was already acting cowardly.

Victor Peterson, having had a child late in life, always doted on this youngest son, but his father’s stern, hateful gaze earlier had already scared him so much he didn’t dare breathe.

"It’s okay, Milo, speak up." Faye Turner held her brother’s shoulder, encouraging him, "With your brother-in-law here, justice is present! Don’t be afraid!"

Mr. Lancaster is his brother-in-law??

Finished!

Victor Peterson felt like his head was exploding; at this moment, he wished he could die!

Milo Turner steadied himself, then recounted the event—

"It was Isaac Peterson who started spreading around the class that my father is a gambling addict, rallying classmates to isolate me. I ignored them, but he didn’t let up. When he saw students from other classes at school, he spread rumors, inventing many untruths, saying... saying Mom is a woman from the red-light district, and saying Sister, you’re someone’s mistress..."

Faye Turner was furious hearing this!

"Sis, really, I wasn’t the one to start it, I just warned him not to defame us, and he hit me first!"

Faye Turner felt heartbroken and deeply saddened.

Seeing Adrian Lancaster’s face growing increasingly cold, Victor Peterson spoke shakily, "Mr. Lancaster, please calm down, it’s my poor parenting, it’s my fault, I’ll change, I promise I’ll change..."

"Hubby, when I came in, I saw this woman constantly yelling at Milo and slapped him across the face!" Faye Turner cooperated perfectly, calling ’hubby’ every time.

Adrian Lancaster felt appreciated, sensing his being needed.

His cold gaze fell upon the middle-aged woman wrapped in fur in hot weather, wishing more than anything to banish her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The next second, the woman started slapping herself across the face!

As she slapped, she continuously apologized, "I’m sorry! I was wrong! I’m sorry! Please forgive me! I’m sorry..."
