Odette's voice was choked with sobs. She had suffered a lot in this family these past few years. Because of her mother's illness, she could only endure it again and again. Now that Eric was willing to stand up for her, what else did she have to worry about? Eric once again held Odette's hands. He slowly said, "You throwing a temper at your niece does not show your ability. If you want an explanation, ask me."

"You can represent the Smith family? Eric Smith, don't you know what position you have in the Smith family?" Eric raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were filled with coldness. "Do you think I care about my position?"

Odette heard Stephen's mocking tone. She couldn't help but frown. She knew that her uncle had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. He only cared about profits. Now that he placed the bet on Joey, he would naturally be little to Eric. She did not think that her uncle would directly mention Eric's sour points.

Odette immediately became angry, "Eric is the legitimate Young master of the Smith family. Why can't he represent the Smith family? What you just said is not appropriate." Eric raised his head. His wife stood up for him to protect him. Eric immediately felt warm in his heart. Ever since his accident five years ago, no one had cared about him anymore.

Paula hated Odette's arrogant manner the most. Her eyes were filled with disgust. Odette really could not differentiate her identity. She dares to be arrogant at this moment. "Odette, what right do you have to speak here? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you marry into the Smith family. But in my eyes, you are still not worthy of anything."

Eric's expression turned cold. His gaze looked at Paula and said, "Miss Lawson, if I remember correctly, the person who was to be married to me was you, right?" Eric had been staying with the Smith family all day. How could he know about these things? "What nonsense are you spouting!" Paula panicked when she heard this. Eric said as if he was stating a fact.

"Back then, the two families only made an engagement. They didn't specify which daughter of the Lawson family is the one who married you. Now that you are married to Odette, our Lawson family has already completed the agreement."

Karen saw that her daughter was panicking and she quickly defended her daughter. At this moment, she must not let her daughter's reputation be tarnished. "Eric, you should know your limits," Stephen asked with his reputation and status, how could he be worthy of his daughter?

He hoped that his daughter would have a better home. His words are a slap in Eric's face in public! Odette didn't expect Stephen to say such insulting words to her husband. her eyes immediately turned red with anger. She was about to step forward when Eric held her hand.

"Eric shook his head at her and said calmly, "Billy, make Mr. Lawson remember when the Lawsons faced a rough time five years ago who helped them, to make the Lawson family hold up until today." After Eric finished speaking, Stephen felt a little hot on his face. Five years ago, he went to Eric's place and begged him to help his family at that time.

It had been so long since this incident happened, but he didn't expect Eric to say it out loud. "Eric it was you who lent me that money back then. I can return this money to you today. I don't want you to say this out loud all the time. It's like our family owes you!"

Eric said, "Since that was my money back then that helped the whole Lawson family to get back to their feet. Then Mr. Lawson can give me the head of the company today. This is the only way you can return the money that I gave you back then."

"Don't bully us too much!" Stephen's face was red and the veins popped out on his face. Eric was an arrogant person. At that moment, a car stopped at the entrance. The door opened and Joey got out of the car. When he saw the scene in front of him, he frowned. "What happened here?"

"Joey, you are finally here. They are bullying us in our land." Paula saw Joey coming and she had someone to rely on. She immediately ran over to complain as if she had suffered so much.

Joey could not stand seeing his woman being wronged. His face turned cold, "Don't cry, I will make them pay." After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Eric, who was sitting in the wheelchair. he didn't hide the disgust and disdain in his eyes at all.

"It's not enough for you to lose face at home. What are you doing here? Do you think that you have not embarrassed the Smith family?" His words were very difficult to listen to, and he didn't even bother to ask about the reason. It seemed like Eric was wearing that servant in his eyes.

"What is my big brother doing here? Are you here to be humiliated with me?" Eric looked at Joey with a cold expression. His indifferent look made Joey's heartburn. "Eric, how dare you talk to me like this? I think you don't want to live anymore!" Eric's expression didn't change. "You want to kill me again?"

It was already fortunate that Eric was able to survive that car accident five years ago. Over the years, he had been framed more than once. Joey must have been involved. Eric tilted his head, and his eyes shone with a cold light. Joey's expression turned cold. He had never thought that Eric would say such a thing in front of him.

They were opposing each other as if they could rush over and knock the other one to the ground in the next second. Joey had brought a lot of people with him. If they had a conflict at a time like this. Eric would be the one to suffer. Odette pushed his wheelchair. : Eric, you are tired. Let's go home."

Eric didn't move. Joey's expression changed slightly. He looked at Odette's red eyes. She looked like had suffered a great loss, but she stubbornly refused to lower her head and admit defeat. Such a girl could not help but make his heart tremble and his face soften.

"Your Odette? Sorry, I was too busy at work and didn't attend the wedding of you and my brother. Today's matter was both side's fault. You should take my brother home first. The rest of the matters I will handle it."

His words were impartial and it made Odette surprised. This was the first time she had seen Eric's elder brother. Joey had just heard Paula's complaint and started to make trouble for her husband. It could be seen that he would not sincerely help them.

Right now Odette wants to bring home Eric as soon as possible. She could not let him be insulted anymore. Instead, she put on a smile, "I believe that Big Brother will give me and my husband justice." Stephen didn't want to let them go just like that. "Stop You destroy my gate. Do you want to leave without even apologizing? Do you think my family is easy to bully?" Eric stopped turned around and looked at Stephen coldly. "Mr. Lawson left me here. Do you want me to blow up your entire house as well?"
