Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Dancing on Master Blackwood’s Rage Meter
Blackwood Manor.
Arthur Blackwood’s capabilities are much less than Sebastian Blackwood’s, so as soon as Sebastian came of age, he took over Blackwood Group, while Arthur couldn’t even enter the core circle of the group and spent years playing with women outside.
This time he’s back purely because he’s out of money.
Jocelyn Judson is the woman he brought along, having recently suffered a miscarriage, he couldn’t bear to leave her, so he brought her home temporarily.
Jocelyn just turned twenty-two this year. Coming from the countryside, after witnessing the glamour of the big city, she no longer wanted to return to the backwoods and dreamed of marrying a wealthy man.
As soon as she entered Blackwood Manor, she was astonished.
It was so luxurious. She had never seen such a splendid place before; the Roman columns alone opened her eyes...
"Arthur, is this house yours?"
Just after her miscarriage, Jocelyn leaned weakly against Arthur Blackwood’s shoulder, seemingly casually probing.
Arthur snorted; this is Sebastian Blackwood’s property. He’s his father, so it belongs to him.
"Of course it is. Not just this house, but even the Blackwood Group is mine."
Upon hearing this, a look of greed flickered in Jocelyn’s eyes.
"Arthur, you’re really impressive."
Her flattery made Arthur feel extremely comfortable. The next second, he saw June Keane’s figure appear not far away.
Arthur Blackwood’s brow furrowed deeply.
He was in an arranged marriage with June, who always looked down on him. Ever since giving birth to Sebastian, they had been living apart.
"What are you doing here?"
June’s eyes coldly swept over Arthur and Jocelyn.
It was Jocelyn’s first time seeing a wealthy lady up close. Although June was a decade older than her, the aura she had was something Jocelyn could never learn in her lifetime. For a moment, Jocelyn felt a surge of crisis.
"Arthur, who is this?"
Arthur didn’t answer the question. Seeing June gave him a stern face: "This is my place. I come and go as I please. But you, how do you have the face to come to the Blackwood family?"
June replied, "My son and daughter-in-law live here. As a mother-in-law, why shouldn’t I come?"
After speaking, she gave a sharp look at Jocelyn.
"Bringing a woman back here, Arthur Blackwood, are you trying to die early!"
This old woman has a wicked tongue.
Unwilling to back down, Jocelyn replied, "I followed Arthur of my own accord, it has nothing to do with him."
Arthur had always held resentment towards June since she looked down on him, and he had no desire to live with her.
"Someone, get June out of here."
He wanted to return home, so June shouldn’t appear in his line of sight.
Jocelyn felt a bit smug: "Arthur has spoken. If you want to save face, I suggest you obediently leave."
June paid no attention to the two of them whatsoever.
After all, she came from the prestigious Keane family, and she wasn’t about to lose in terms of presence.
"Arthur Blackwood, if you dare lay a finger on me, do you believe that I could directly ruin your lineage?"
June wasn’t joking, and Arthur, having seen what she was capable of, couldn’t help but take two steps back at her words.
Jocelyn didn’t understand and said, "But Arthur is from the Blackwood family, you aren’t capable of doing that."
"Is that so?"
June chuckled, then picked up a wooden stick, "Then I’ll give you a free show."
As she finished, June swung the wooden stick toward them, scaring Arthur out of his wits.
When June was younger, she had a red belt in Taekwondo. He couldn’t outmatch her!
"No, no, no..."
Arthur immediately pulled Jocelyn in front of himself.
Watching as the stick was about to land, Jocelyn widened her eyes in fear, "I... I was wrong... ah!"
"Bang—"
The wooden stick hit the ground right at their feet.
June laughed disdainfully: "What a disgraceful show, hurry up and leave, don’t let the son and daughter-in-law come back and see such a shameful display!"
Arthur and Jocelyn were dumbfounded by the blow, shaking for quite a while before regaining their senses.
"Arthur, we..."
Jocelyn said with chattering teeth, Arthur interrupted her: "Let’s go first."
June is just a shrew; he doesn’t want to argue with a shrew!
So the two of them had no choice but to slink away.
When Sebastian Blackwood arrived, he saw June standing alone in the yard.
"Mom, where are they?"
June snorted: "I sorted them out and they’re gone."
Upon hearing this, Sebastian’s deep eyes flickered.
He was never close to Arthur, having been raised by June from a young age, and upon hearing that Arthur had brought another woman back to trouble June, it simply fueled his anger.
With a roll of his Adam’s apple, he instructed Owen Rhodes: "No property under the Blackwood name is to allow Arthur Blackwood in, block them all."
He wanted to see where he could take that woman.
At this moment, another figure approached.
