A few people instinctively looked towards the door at the sa ti.
Henry Stanton saw the visitor, his gaze froze, surprised, he was both delighted and terrified.
What had Damian Knight heard of what the old lady had just said?
If Damian Knight got angry at the old lady for being protective of Sumr Monroe, would he take it out on him?
Henry Stanton, anxious at heart, was just about to greet Damian Knight, when he heard Damian Knight speak coldly: "Why massage the back of soone who shows no respect for their age? Henry Stanton, is this the kind of life Sumr Monroe leads in your ho?"
The old lady frowned as she looked at the sudden intruder.
At first glance, the old lady’s eyes brightened for a mont.
This was the most handso young man she had ever seen, but the noble aura he exuded reminded her of that short-lived ghost, Luna Monroe, a temperant she particularly disliked!
The old lady’s voice was displeased as she spoke: "Who are you calling disrespectful? Who are you? Do our family affairs concern you?"
Henry Stanton’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly pressed down on the old lady’s shoulder, saying, "Mom, stop talking. This is Young Master Knight... Young Master Knight, I apologize, the old lady just recovered from a serious illness and is in a bad mood, she isn’t usually like this..."
"Henry! Why are you explaining to him? What Young Master this or Young Master that? Crestfall is your territory; on your own turf, what are you afraid of him for? Get him out of here right now!" The old lady spoke with an air of superiority.
Old Madam Stanton hadn’t seen much of the world, plus Henry Stanton liked to show off and brag, leading her to believe that Henry Stanton held a supre position in Crestfall, where no one dared to provoke him.
Next to her, Henry Stanton was sweating profusely, for the first ti regretting having brought the old lady over.
Henry Stanton fearfully glanced at Damian Knight.
However, Damian Knight’s face showed no emotion, revealing neither joy nor anger, precisely because of this, Henry Stanton was even more frightened at that mont.
Yet the old lady continued to urge: "Henry, what are you standing there for? I told you to get rid of this inexplicable guy!"
For a stranger to burst in and ddle in their family’s affairs—what kind of situation was that?
But upon thinking about it, the old lady’s mind suddenly clicked.
No one would co out of nowhere to speak up for Sumr Monroe unless... this man had a fling with Sumr!
Old Madam Stanton slapped her thigh in realization.
"Well, you little vixen, so young and already seducing n, bringing them ho to defy your elders, how will it be when you grow up? Today, I’ll beat you to death!"
The old lady raised her hand to slap Sumr Monroe across the face.
However, just as her hand was raised, two hands simultaneously reached out and tightly clasped her wrist.
The old lady looked up to see that one hand belonged to that man, but the other hand was unexpectedly her son’s.
"Henry, what are you doing?" The old lady couldn’t believe Henry Stanton and didn’t understand why he stopped her from hitting Sumr Monroe.
Henry Stanton was scared out of his wits by the old lady. At that mont, he dared not let the old lady stay a second longer. He directly called for the butler: "Butler! Take the old lady upstairs to rest!"
The butler imdiately advanced with two bodyguards, who lifted the old lady onto either side to go upstairs.
"What are you doing?! Let go of !" The old lady struggled with all her might, but how could her strength overpower the sturdy bodyguards?
The old lady soon ran out of strength, and just as she was about to be taken past the corner of the stairs, she looked back toward the living room and t Sumr Monroe’s gaze.
The gaze was calm and distant, like snow from an iceberg, soft yet extrely cold.
That look was terrifying!
Could this truly be the kind of look a child raised in the countryside could have?
The old lady shivered involuntarily in fear.
Just as she wanted to confirm again, the bodyguards had already taken her to the second floor and locked her in the room she had stayed in for several days.
