Throwing His Weight Around

Conrad came over to the Howard residence today without any intention of making a move directly, so he had only brought two bodyguards with him.

In his opinion, Felix would have been the only one a little difficult to handle. The rest of the Howards weren't too competent. Besides, the helmsman was now a woman, so there was nothing to worry about.

As long as he, the former helmsman of the Piers, exerted some pressure, Florence probably wouldn't be able to bear it and would only be able to yield to him and show weakness.

But he never expected that Florence would be uncharacteristically domineering and reject his request without hesitation.

This wasn't all. He didn't expect Florence's son-in-law's subordinate to have the guts to hit his grandson and bodyguards!

He had gone overboard!

"Who do you think you are? You're just a servant of the Howards. How dare you speak to me like that?!" Conrad hollered furiously.
