Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Connor! You!”

Rhett had never imagined that Connor Cooper would show him absolutely no respect in front of so many people.

Consequently, Rhett was filled with shame and annoyance.

However, he was aware that he had no say in front of Elder Cooper, and he couldn’t even compare to one of Connor’s fingers.

Frankly speaking, if Rhett hadn’t been Maddox’s biological son, he would have been kicked out of the Cooper family by now.

Fully aware of this, Rhett dared not vent his anger at Connor, despite his vexation.

Rhett’s face sank immediately, and he walked swiftly up to Mori Jones and angrily snapped, “What are you still standing there for?!

Don’t you know what you’ve done? Why don’t you hurry up and apologize to Connor? You foolish woman!”

After saying this, Rhett continuously gave Mori meaningful looks, directing her in an authoritative manner, pressuring Mori to succumb.

Obviously, he was unable to control Connor, so he instead directed his anger at Mori.

At this…

Mori’s face showed a flash of disappointment and immediately turned gloomy after hearing this.

She could deal with the ridicule of others, but she couldn’t accept Rhett’s current attitude.

From the age of eighteen, she had followed him, shadowing his side, with no power or status.

He promised to take care of her for the rest of her life, but in the end, he married another woman.

At that time, he knew that she was already carrying his child, but he chose to abandon Mori to marry another woman.

All this, just because the other woman’s family had power and influence, which could help him secure his position as the heir to the Cooper family.

As for Mori, she was silently suffering in the dark, like a stray dog licking her own wounds.

Thinking about this, tears welled up in Mori’s eyes.

“You foolish woman! What are you doing?! Hurry up! Don’t you want to enter the Cooper’s house? Don’t you want to consider Chase?!” Rhett shouted under his breath.

The Chase he was referring to was his daughter with Mori, Chase Jones. At that moment, he was using his daughter as a threat to force Mori to submit to Connor.

Upon hearing these words, Mori looked dazed and lifeless, her face pale as she slowly tried to stand up. At that moment, White Mitchell pulled her back to her seat.

“White!?” Mori turned to him with a guilty expression.

“What are you doing!?”

Upon seeing this, Rhett was livid and shouted at White Mitchell.

White Mitchell looked indifferent, and his cold gaze, like a Cold Sword, swept over Rhett.

Hiss!

Meeting White Mitchell’s gaze, Rhett involuntarily shivered. For a moment, he felt like he was being stared down by a fierce lion.

At that moment, Rhett’s face took on a wary expression, but he bravely resisted his fear and said to White Mitchell through gritted teeth: “She’s my woman! I’m just asking her to do something, it’s our family business!

When did it become the business of an outsider like you? What right do you have to stop us?

After hearing Rhett’s words, White Mitchell shot a glance at him as if looking at an idiot, instantly turning to Mori: “Miss, don’t be afraid. Today, no one can force you to do anything you don’t want to do.

Even if you tear down Cooper’s house today, I will guarantee you that nothing will happen to you!” wow!

Upon hearing his words, the guests who were watching started to discuss eagerly.

“Who is this kid? He seems unfamiliar. Is he a newbie from out of town? He even dares to say such things?”

“You still don’t know him? He’s the former chairman of Imperial Group, White Mitchell, who just got out of jail!”

“Shoot! Is it really him? Did five years in prison make him insane? How dare he talk like this in the Cooper family? Even if Alan Austin came, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant!”

The crowd murmured and pointed at White, but he maintained a calm facade. His heart was as still as a millpond, acting as if he hadn’t heard them at all.

After hearing what White had said, Rhett immediately glared at him and said: “You’re already a dead man walking. You’re hardly able to protect yourself, yet you’re boasting here? Humph!”

Rhett snorted, and then turned to Mori, his tone harsh: “Mori! Are you even ignoring my words now?! Even you want to betray me?!”

Mori’s face was filled with bitterness, almost ready to burst into tears from Rhett’s pressure.

Rhett suddenly flew into a rage, raised his arm to strike her: “Stupid woman! I see your wings have hardened! Thinking of flying away!? Have you asked my permission?!”

Whoosh!

Rhett evidently poured all his anger out on Mori.

This slap was merciless, treating Mori no better than an enemy.

But just as his hand was about to strike her, White’s hand, like a colossal tiger claw, blocked it forcefully.

“Did you ask for my permission to hit someone in front of me!?”

Bang!

White’s face turned cold, he picked Rhett up in one swift motion: “Scram!” With a single throw, White tossed Rhett away. A loud bang sounded as several tables nearby were smashed to bits.

Whoosh!

In that moment, the whole place was in an uproar. Everyone was staring with their mouths agape.

No one could have thought that White would dare to hit Rhett at the birthday banquet of the Cooper family.

Even though Rhett wasn’t favored in the Cooper family, after all, he was Maddox’s own son. Hitting him was like slapping Maddox’s face, wasn’t it?

Thinking of this, everyone seemed to foresee the furious scene of Maddox later.

“Haha… Well done! Really well done!” Connor Cooper, who had been enjoying the show, suddenly burst into laughter.

From his excited demeanor, it seemed as if it wasn’t his father who was beaten, but his enemy.

At this, the onlookers all wisely closed their mouths and refrained from commenting.

“Dog eats dog? This is really rare. I thought you were a loving father and daughter,” Connor said to Mori shamelessly.

Mori remained silent, her face a picture of embarrassment. At this moment, she was lost and helpless, devoid of any ideas of her own.

“Want to stay with your father?” At this moment, White’s cold voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Connor unconsciously stepped back a couple of steps, then glared at White resentfully: “Don’t celebrate too soon! Do you really think you’ve won?

“Bring me that little vixen, Chase Jones!” he ordered.

Chase?

Upon hearing the name Chase Jones, Mori’s face immediately drained of color and she started to panic.

Watching this, Connor sneered: “You know, Chase is indeed your daughter, just as cheap as you!

What if I bring her in later, have her done by someone, record a video, and post it online, do you think she’ll still be able to get married in the future?

Guess she’d have to follow in her mom’s footsteps—become someone’s mistress, lure married men and specialize in destroying other people’s families! Auntie, don’t you think I’m right?”
