When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 599: Slapped

Finally, the dinner ended, and Adrian Lancaster’s gaze flickered lightly past Brandon Lancaster’s face, full of disdain for this fool.

Eliza Hayes and Faye Turner sat together chatting, now as close as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, their relationship was very intimate, which made Melanie Lancaster very upset.

Grandfather returned to the study with a stern face, leaning on a cane, not wanting to deal with anyone.

Adrian Lancaster suppressed his anger and walked out of the living room.

On a winter night, the air was filled with a chill that blew against his face, keeping him alert.

The shiny leather shoes crushed into the snow, his hands in his pockets as he looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

What good comes from angering grandfather?

These two idiots!

"Don’t think you’ve won." At some point, Brandon Lancaster appeared behind him, his tone full of provocation.

Adrian Lancaster snapped back to reality and then heard him say —

"That man in the wheelchair is a fraud, taken away by the police, right?"

Adrian Lancaster showed no emotion, lowering his eyes to fix his cufflinks with a calm and indifferent demeanor, "I advise you to mind your own business."

"Adrian Lancaster, keeping it from my grandfather can’t be good!" He insisted, "What exactly is your scheme? Hiding your own father!"

Slap—!

A smack landed on Brandon Lancaster’s face!

Adrian Lancaster’s deep-set eyes coldly stared at him, "Are you childish? Try making grandfather sick? I want not only your life, but your mother’s too!"

The man who was hit was left dumbfounded!

After a while, he covered his face awkwardly, slowly lifting his gaze, "..." Looking resentfully into Adrian Lancaster’s eyes, he was frightened by his gaze, not daring to breathe heavily.

Adrian Lancaster didn’t waste words with him, passing by him to step into the living room.

Brandon Lancaster wanted to act wild but lacked the courage, having already accepted in his mind that Adrian Lancaster was the head of the Lancaster Family.

Half an hour later.

A car drove away from The Lockwood Old Manor, Melanie Lancaster was driving, her useless son was sitting in the passenger seat.

His cheeks were swollen and red, simmering with anger inside, while his mother’s face didn’t look well either, not knowing yet that her son had been hit.

"You didn’t even say what you were going to! Were you fooled by Adrian Lancaster with just a few words? Useless! Don’t you know you’re the brother!"

The woman tightly gripped the steering wheel, exasperated—

"At a family dinner, he’s not your boss, what exactly are you afraid of him for?!"

After getting hit and being blamed by his mother, Brandon Lancaster felt very wronged.

He retorted, "Then show the evidence! What if he turns the tables? You say uncle is a fake, then put the evidence before grandfather! Leave Adrian Lancaster without room to argue!"

"You..."

Well, the atmosphere in this car was tense too, mother and son each had their own anger.

A bit later, after bidding farewell to grandfather, the Lamborghini drove out of the old manor.

Adrian Lancaster sat in the back seat with Faye Turner.

She could clearly sense that he was in a bad mood.

"Adrian." She gently wrapped her arm around him, softly comforting, "Alright, alright, don’t take it too seriously."

"Brandon Lancaster really doesn’t use his brain." The man’s voice was low, cold, and dignified, "Bringing the matter to light will only make grandfather sad and worried, and then all of us worried along with him, posing no threat to me."

"That mother of his doesn’t seem smart either." Faye Turner blurted out, "Even though she’s an elder, but after a few dealings, it seems she has ambition but lacks capability."

"The company in the Netherlands was managed into a mess by her, I only didn’t interfere because of grandfather’s face." Adrian Lancaster had also been keeping an eye on her dynamics.

Just like Melanie Lancaster had always been watching this side.

Adrian Lancaster turned his gaze, holding his wife’s hand, "Honey, from now on, I will have someone protect you 24/7, neither of them is kind, and you are my only weakness."

He was truly afraid of losing...

"It’s not that scary, after all, this is a law-governed society." Faye Turner reassured him, "Don’t be so tense, you’ve been quite stressed recently."

At this time, someone called, Adrian Lancaster’s phone rang.

He took a look at the display and immediately answered, "Speak, is there any result?"
