Chapter 416: Hot Potato
Austin Winters had considered the possibility that bringing the old lady back could be a trap, but the bait was too tempting for him to resist!Grabbing her was equivalent to holding the Hunter Family’s lifeline!
Just a few days ago, the old lady was tightly guarded by Harry Hunter’s men, with no chance for him to make a move. Who would have thought she’d be thrown out!
Has Harry Hunter gone mad?
Is Isabella Weaver’s charm that overwhelming, that he would abandon even the grandmother who raised him?
Austin Winters was full of doubts but still locked the old lady and Cherry Lewis together.
When the old lady saw the two people alive and well, she jumped up and cursed, "You two brats! Instead of clearing things up, you stay here. Everyone thinks you’re dead and believes my grandson is the killer! Move out of my way, I need to find the media to expose you!"
Austin Winters smiled gently, "The old lady was used to calling the shots at the Hunter Family. Now that she’s here, she still thinks she’s in charge? You’re my hostage now, so you’d better have some sense, or you’ll end up like Eldest Young Miss Lewis."
The old lady was stunned, turning to look at Cherry Lewis.
Cherry Lewis sat quietly on the sofa, her hair disheveled, with dried blood on her face and a swollen forehead making her look like a miserable birthday boy!
She wasn’t like this before. Previously, Cherry Lewis would talk to Austin Winters with her chin up, looking down on him. Now, there was a hint of fear!
She walked over to Cherry, looking her up and down, angrily asking, "Did you hit her? Why is she shaking all over!"
Austin Winters couldn’t be bothered to respond to her, instructing someone to bring food so that the two high-value captives wouldn’t starve to death.
Then, in front of the old lady, he called Harry Hunter.
When the call connected, he called out softly, "Brother, grandma is with me, do you want to take her back?"
"No, you keep her."
Harry Hunter said just one sentence, then hung up the phone, blocking Austin Winters’ number, and focused on having lunch with his young and lovely wife.
Austin Winters’ gentle mask almost crumbled!
He vaguely felt like he had been tricked, picking up a hot potato he shouldn’t have!
At the dining table, the old lady slammed the table loudly, "Austin Winters, you heartless ungrateful bastard! You let me eat this? I want bird’s nest with chicken shreds, royal steamed cakes, phoenix tail fish fins, and golden thread crispy sparrows!"
"What kind of water is this? You actually gave me cold water to fool me? Bring me Silver Mountain Ginseng Tea! Make it seventy percent hot! I won’t drink if it’s a degree too cold or too hot! Use the best blue and white porcelain tea cups, what kind of junk is this!"
"Where are the servants? The Hunter Family raised you for so many years, giving you four servants just for me. I used to have six people serving me at meals, call them here! Serve the dishes!"
She scolded nonstop, took a sip of water to moisten her throat, then disdainfully smashed the water glass!
After eating a bite of not-hot-not-cold food, she smashed the plate and chopsticks to the floor!
Austin Winters’ temples were throbbing in pain from the noise!
This old lady was like an empress dowager in the Hunter Family, playing out all kinds of airs, spending over a hundred thousand just on meals each day!
Harry Hunter could earn money to support this old thing, but he couldn’t!
The Hunter Family pampered this old thing too well, even her scolding and throwing things were full of energy! She seemed like she could live another twenty years at least!
The old lady was still cursing and throwing things, and Austin Winters slapped her across the face, eyes fierce, "If you keep it up, I’ll kill you!"
