Chapter 427: Ariel Morris, Hang in There! [2]
Arlo Seys arrived at the Morris Family’s home, slamming the car door and striding inside.The Morris family was gathered in the living room, discussing until the very end when Damien Morris spoke in a deep voice, "Then it’s settled. I’ll drive with Howard to handle Ariel Morris later; this must be done quickly! If Arlo Seys finds out, the consequences..."
At this moment, the maid Jade entered and interrupted Damien’s words, "President Morris, Young Master Seys is here."
The six people sitting on the sofa all trembled.
It’s true that fears materialize just when you dread them! Arlo Seys unexpectedly arrived so quickly!
First to react was Kylie Morris, who glanced around at everyone, adjusted her state, and scolded, "Why the panic! Act naturally, so Arlo Seys won’t notice anything!"
Beside Laura Pinley, Scarlett Morris trembled violently, her tone flustered and frightened, "What do we do? Arlo Seys is here! If he finds out about Ariel..."
Laura Pinley immediately cut her off sharply, "Remember! None of us have seen Ariel Morris today! She hasn’t been back to the Morris Family! Understand?"
Jade listened to their conversation, her eyes filled with surprise, listening with utter confusion.
Damien Morris ordered Jade in a deep voice, "Let Young Master Seys in."
"All right."
Jade turned to leave, and everyone inside quietly exhaled, adjusting their state to appear calm and natural, as if nothing had happened.
Arlo Seys strode in with brisk steps, his face icy. Approaching the group on the sofa, he coldly uttered three words, sharp as a blade: "Where’s Ariel?"
Laura Pinley stood up, smiling, "Young Master Seys is here, I see. Jade, pour a cup of tea for Young Master Seys; you don’t visit the Morris Family often."
Arlo Seys shot a glance of obvious disdain at Laura Pinley, "I’m asking you, where’s Ariel?!"
Damien Morris snorted coldly, "I see you’re not here for tea, but to pick a fight! Why would we have seen Ariel?!" Damien looked at Arlo Seys with a stern tone, "Since living with you, Ariel rarely returns to the Morris Family! What? Young Master Seys, did you argue with our Ariel, making her run away from home? She’s missing by your side, and you come to us for answers?! The Morris Family hasn’t even asked you for our daughter yet!"
Arlo Seys’ cold, piercing gaze fixed on Damien Morris, radiating aggression and a dazzling sharpness, "Damien Morris, for the last little play you arranged, I haven’t even come to settle accounts with you!"
Kylie Morris raised her cup for a sip, her tone light and indifferent, "Young Master Seys speaks beyond our understanding; we’re not smart enough for your schemes. We don’t get what you’re saying!"
Howard Saxton curled his lips into a faint smile, deliberately adding with a sarcastic tone, "Exactly, we don’t get it! My cousin married you, got registered, and went missing in your house, yet you brazenly come to the mother-in-law’s house to make a scene. Young Master Seys’ shirking of responsibility is truly eye-opening!"
"What kind of stuff are you all even, claiming to be my in-laws, Young Master Seys? You think taking what’s not yours and acting as if you belong to the Morris Family grants you ownership of the Morris Clan? What is taken must eventually be returned!" Arlo Seys mocked Damien Morris and his wife, his cold gaze briefly alighting on Howard Saxton and Kylie Morris, "What kind of son does such a mother raise! A wretched thing born of a despicable mistress is what? Nothing but vile rubbish like a snake or rat! How blind Benny Saxton must have been to abandon a rightful wife for a mistress! Offspring of a noblewoman is different; compared to Jorge Saxton— Howard, you’re a goddamn scum!"
