Violet was dumbfounded.
She found it somewhat hard to believe,
Even though I don’t usually pay much attention to business affairs, how could a prominent figure in
Riverton like Jonathan get married without anyone knowing?
Just as she was about to speak, Howard bluntly asked, “Dad, are you being serious? You… didn’t get
deceived, did you?”
Howard furrowed his brows and looked at Ethan with suspicion.
Despite his lack of knowledge in certain areas, he could still differentiate between important and trivial
matters.
He knew very well who Jonathan was. His father often cautioned him to be careful, warning him not to
offend anyone connected to Jonathan as there would be severe consequences.
Although Jonathan kept a low profile and was mysterious, Howard was still aware of whether he was
married or not. After all, Jonathan’s marriage was such a piece of headline–worthy
news.
Clutching his chest, Ethan was almost breathless while pointing at Howard. “Y–You-”
After a long pause, he was still unable to utter a word.
Realizing her husband’s genuine anger, Violet also felt a sense of panic. She hurried over to calm him
down. “Is what you’re saying true? Did Howard truly offend… Jonathan’s wife?”
With pain written all over his face, Ethan retrieved a pill from his pocket and swallowed it with the aid of
the cup of water handed to him by Violet. Only then did he start to feel some relief.
Precisely thanks to the pill, Ethan gradually calmed down. “Axel confirmed it himself. He is Jonathan’s
trusted associate, so it must be true.”
Besides, Jonathan isn’t one to engage in frivolous activities.
At this moment, Howard finally realized the severity of the situation.
So, the man who had appeared that night was indeed Jonathan!

He broke out in a cold sweat and attempted to sit beside Ethan. But as he lifted his foot, he realized his
bone was fractured. His action caused him to grimace in pain.
While reprimanding him, Violet anxiously inquired, “So, what do we do now?”
Will Jonathan bring ruin to our family?
Ethan took a deep breath. With his voice carrying a hint of relief, he added, “Thankfully, the Lawson
Family doesn’t intend to wipe us out. They purely made one request.”
Gazing sternly at Howard, he continued, “You simply need to apologize to Mrs. Lawson.”
Howard somewhat hesitated when he heard that. “Are you asking me to apologize to that woman?”
Well, Jonathan is undoubtedly influential. So, I won’t think twice if Dad asks me to apologize to him.
But asking me to apologize to the woman who had struck me on the head?
I don’t think I’m down for it.
Yes, she is a beauty. But she is also pretty feisty. I doubt Jonathan will truly be attracted to someone
like
her.
After contemplating momentarily, Howard suggested, “Dad, you should verify further. What is her
background? Who are her family members? You must find out all these.”
Ethan glared at Howard, his anger evident. “Why are you concerned about her background?
Regardless, she is now married to Jonathan-”
But then again, it’s not confirmed. After all, there has been no news of Jonathan’s marriage.
After a moment of thought, Ethan issued a direct order. “Regardless of the cumstances. Jonathan now
admits she is his wife. You must apologize!”
Howard pursed his lips, fully expressing his reluctance. However, he somewhat crumbled when he met
his father’s gaze filled with murderous intent.
Powerless, he glanced at Violet. His tone was tinged with a hint of pleading. “Mom…”
Just as Violet was about to interject to persuade him, Ethan waved his hand decisively. “It’s settled
then. If you refuse to apologize, then so be it. But you will no longer be a part
of the Sims Family. I cannot let the company our family has painstakingly built to be ruined because of
you.”

Despite being the sole heir and current head of the company, he wasn’t the Sims Family’s only
member.
Other than him, there were so many directors and members. Therefore, he couldn’t do much to help
Howard.
Ethan was extremely annoyed as he looked at his son, who was always causing trouble and achieving
nothing. He left immediately after speaking.
“Mom…” Howard’s expression turned ghastly. “Is Dad…”
Having married Ethan for decades, Violet naturally could sense that his words just now weren’t mere
threats. The entire Sims Family will face difficulties in the future if Howard indeed has offended
Jonathan completely.
Therefore, she gently began to persuade Howard to apologize.
Howard also realized that the situation was irreversible. Therefore, he could only reluctantly
agree.
Outside the Lawson Residence, a gray–blue van gradually pulled up. Ethan was the first to step out,
followed by Howard, who still bore bruises on his face while sitting in a wheelchair.
The last to emerge was Violet, who carried bags of gifts.
These items were all of designer brands and hard to come by. Violet gazed at these gifts with a pained
expression before mustering the courage to follow Ethan and Howard into the Lawson Residence.
The atmosphere in the Lawson Residence was eerily quiet, and there were only a few servants around.
After being escorted to the living room, Ethan and his family were first greeted by a lean man with a
robust build who was devouring his meal.
“M–Mr. Lawson.” Ethan tentatively greeted.
The man, who was initially dining, glanced up. His gaze immediately turned sharp when he
saw the visitors.
Ethan was stunned.
This guy is Jonathan Lawson?
You’ve got to be kidding me,
The individual who holds the fate of the Sanders Family and the Lawson Family in his hands actually

Ethan stepped back, revealing Howard in the wheelchair with a sorrowful expression.
Upon catching sight of the man’s silhouette, he involuntarily recoiled.
Isn’t this the man responsible for my current state?
Then, he overheard another man with a sly grin refer to the man as Oliver.
I don’t know if Jonathan is intimidating, but this man before me is undoubtedly ferocious.
Howard nervously gulped before managing to force out a smile. “Um… about that… I…
Under Oliver’s scrutiny, Howard’s mind went blank. He was completely unsure of what to say or what
he intended to say.
After finishing his meal, Oliver rose abruptly. His voice sounded gruff as he instructed. “Wait here!”
With that, he hurried upstairs.
Ethan appeared puzzled. What is he up to?

Despite my decades of experience in the business world, I can’t believe I would make such hasty
assumptions.
Ethan felt a twinge of shame.
But since no one else noticed, he figured it didn’t matter.
Meanwhile, Angela tried to free herself from Jonathan’s grasp. However, she could only give
after several failed attempts.

Looking at the man in his fifties or sixties deeply expressing his apology to her, Angela involuntarily let
out a soft sigh.
