Chapter 244
Chapter 244
Leah had suffered setbacks under Thomas’ leadership before. However, she firmly believed that he only relied on brute force. There was nothing to be afraid of! After all, he had served in the army for eight years, so having some strength was normal. If it came to a fight, he probably could not even compare to this old lady, not to mention being the top in the Capitalis. What qualifications did he have to cling to her granddaughter?

Olivia’s anger completely erupted. She pointed her finger at Leah. “You’re less than a worm. Your whole family is less than worms. It’s my freedom to be with whoever I want. Who do you think you are, interfering in my family? Get out! You’re not welcome here!”
She could not bear it any longer and would rather be insulted herself than let others insult Thomas. He was her hero and the man she loved the most. How could she tolerate others maliciously defaming him?
At Olivia’s words, Leah’s expression froze. Then, she wore a somewhat sorrowful expression. “Olivia, how can you speak to me like that? You should know that I came all the way from the Capitalis to see you. Now that I’m here to advise you, how dare you curse at me! I am advising you for your own good!”
Leah’s eyes became moist, tears welling up as she spoke. It seemed that she could burst into tears at any moment.
Seeing this, Thomas shook his head. What a great actress! Look at how perfectly she delivered her lines. Look at how heartfelt her expression is. She deserves an Oscar!
“For my own good? I don’t need it! Also, don’t keep calling yourself my grandmother. We’re not close, and as for you coming all the way here has nothing to do with me. Find a place and just stay there!”
She did not want to see Leah anymore and turned to walk upstairs. However, she was stopped by her two bodyguards as she walked a few steps. They had heard every word Olivia said earlier. Too
arrogant! Ma’am has such a high status and identity. To visit her in her villa is already a great favor, but this lady not only greets her with a cold face but also doesn’t have a single kind word to say. Who does she think she is?
Thomas’ face instantly turned cold. “Do you two want to die? Why are you two acting so presumptuously in my house?”
When Leah had spoken disrespectfully to him earlier, he had wanted to take action, but considering his physical condition had not fully recovered, he held back. However, her two bodyguards were pushing their luck!
“Haha, so what if we want to die? What can you do? Bite us?”
“Yeah, how dare you talk so big! This house is yours? Can you afford such a luxurious villa with your low status? If you’re living off someone else, then be prepared for it. Just stay obediently!”
Olivia was furious. Without hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped them across the face. Living off someone else? Any man in this world can live off someone else except Thomas! Who provided all the money I’m spending, the villa I’m living in, and the company I’m running? It’s Thomas! Accusing him of living off someone else is slander. The more important thing is how dare they follow their master’s lead and speak disrespectfully of the man I love! They are asking for a beating!
“You b*stard!”
Both were influential figures in the Capitalis. When had they ever endured such humiliation? She is nothing more than Ma’am’s descendants, yet she dares to lay her hands on me? I’ll fight back, and Ma’am won’t say a word.
Two of them raised their hands, clearly preparing to beat Olivia!
Crack! Crack!
In an instant, two teacups flew through the air, solidly smashing into their faces! The force behind the teacups was tremendous, to the point that neither of them understood what had happened before they both fell to the ground.
Thomas’ expression grew stern as he strode toward them. Do they think I’m easy to bully, coming to my house and acting recklessly? Fine, then they could stay here. They don’t need to leave this place alive!
“Thomas! Stop this insolence!” Leah could see that he had murderous intent. She swiftly moved, attempting to block him.
What happened next was incredibly shocking to her. Before she could even steady herself, she felt a strong force on her shoulder and was pushed aside. “You…” She finally realized that Thomas was not an ordinary person at this moment.
Speaking of the moment when he threw the teacups, she had not even seen how he made his move. Moreover, he was able to push her aside. That was impossible through brute strength!
In the blink of an eye, Thomas stood in front of the two men, revealing a fruit knife he had grabbed from the coffee table. His eyes were filled with boundless killing intent, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.
“Thomas!” Olivia seemed to realize what was about to happen and called out to him.
“What?” He turned his head and looked at her.
“Forget it. They didn’t hit me.”
“Phew!” Thomas let out a sigh of relief. Since Olivia said that, he would not pursue those two men further. He turned to Leah and warned, “I’ll spare these two dogs for the sake of Olivia, but if they dare to be insolent again, I promise you will witness their deaths with your own eyes!”
Leah shouted, “What are you still standing there for? Get out! You disgraceful b*stards!” They were truly arrogant as they wanted to hit Olivia! That was her granddaughter, while those two were nothing to her.
The two men quickly stood up and walked out of the villa.
Olivia pointed at Leah. “Your lackeys are gone. You should leave too!”
The reason why she dared to act like this was partly because she had Thomas by her side. It gave her confidence that no one could harm her. On the other hand, Leah and her two subordinates had gone too far. They had already trespassed into a private residence and dared to insult the man she loved. They were bullying to the point of crossing the line.
“Olivia, I’m your grandmother. How can you kick me out?”
“Stop pretending. I’m not close with you!” Olivia wore a disgusted expression. “And even if you were Terrence’s ex-wife or Norman’s mother, it has nothing to do with me. I’ve already cut ties with the Pearson Family long ago. Your family connections mean nothing to me!” With that, she turned and went upstairs.
Is she seriously my grandmother? Who has such a family? Either she never shows up, or once she does, she arranges for me to marry someone I don’t even know!
Her mood was good this morning because she had secretly kissed Thomas. However, her delightful day had been ruined by Leah. How disgusting!
