�Do you really want me to investigate? What if I find something even worse? Do you think I�d accuse someone for no reason?� Francine shot Ethan a cold glare. Even though she was a woman and outmatched in number, she wasn�t afraid.

�Alright, enough about that. The main point is that your family was over the line today! If you don�t give me an explanation, we won�t leave,�

Ethan demanded angrily. He saw no need to pretend to be nice since Francine had humiliated him.

�What do you need an explanation for? I just didn�t allow your daughter to meet my son. Isn�t my son allowed a bit of freedom?�

Francine snapped, feeling like Ethan was being unreasonable.

�Hmph! Your whole family is arrogant and reckless. Your grandson pushed my daughter into the pond and she nearly drowned because she didn�t know how to swim! She�s still getting checked at the hospital, you know. So, how do you plan to settle this?� Ethan had rushed to Stefan�s hospital with people right after he heard Seraphina�s complaints.

He wanted an explanation, and he also wanted to scare Stefan and let him know that Seraphina wasn�t a pushover.

�My grandson� pushed your daughter into a pond?� Francine stared at Ethan incredulously, then burst out laughing.

"Nonsense! My grandson is just a little boy, and your daughter is almost twenty-eight years old�how could a kid push her into a pond? And you have the audacity to come here and demand an explanation! Why don�t you reflect on yourself for having such a useless daughter?�

Francine�s admiration for Adie grew when she heard what he had done. She felt that Adie had taken after his mother and grandmother, and he was much better than his reserved father.

Adie was a promising candidate to run Hunt Enterprise in the future, and he might even be more capable than his father.

�Your grandson nearly got my daughter killed, and you�re laughing? Are you mocking her?�

Ethan blustered, his face red in anger. He had wanted Francine to feel guilty, but it looked like she was more amused than anything about the whole incident.Francine snorted.

�Yeah, I�m mocking her. She�s an adult, but she was bested by a kid. Isn�t it ridiculous?�

After that, she took a step toward Ethan and said fiercely, �And for your information, I�m fully aware of my grandson�s character- he�d never attack someone unless they provoked him first. The better question is why he pushed your daughter into the pond; I think you�d better ask your daughter about it before putting on a show here.�

�Francine, you� you�ve gone too far!� Ethan bellowed in outrage as he pointed at Francine.

�I used to consider you charming, but you�re actually this arrogant! Seraphina sincerely loves Stefan, but what did she get in the end?�

Francine rolled her eyes and scoffed, �How would I know? She can leave if she feels wronged. I�m sure there�s a reason she so desperately wants to be with Stefan anyway.�

�Well, look at you�you don�t even want to resolve this! I guess that officially makes us enemies from today onwards! � Ethan sneered spitefully.

In actual fact, the Murphy family had other plans, but Ethan couldn�t fall out with the Hunts because Seraphina kept pestering Stefan. However, he could now use today�s incident as an excuse to attack the Hunt family. JrNovels.com
