Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Everyone's expression changed.

Finn grunted coldly, "Grandpa, don't even dare." Even though he knew he was disrespectful, he had no choice seeing his stubborn grandfather at the movement.

Alan had made a move but Aria raised her left hand to stop and took a step ahead. She placed the nozzle on her forehead, "Shoot."

Elder Wen's eyes were right on Aria's eyes who looked unfazed the whole time even when the men behind her were anxious. He saw her guiltless, determined. He didn't find her evil instead her eyes were clear from evilness.

Alan pulled her to his arms at lightning speed and the next second his handgun nozzle was on Elder Wen's forehead.

Elder Wen chuckled without caring about Alan who was thrusting his blood just for pointing the gun at his wife.

"That old fart was right. You are tiny but enormous. How dare you hand me the gun instead of dodging?"

Elder Hanes's expression turned ugly hearing that.

Aria patted Alan's chest so that he could relax. She turned around in his embrace as she pulled Alan's right hand down, "Waste of my energy."

Finn's lips twitched. "Why the hell did you hand the gun?" He said it more like 'My grandfather is a little psycho.'

Aria raised her hand showing the bullets magazine suppressing her laughter. She didn't want to fight the old man who wasn't a real threat.

Elder Wen flushed in embarrassment and checked to know the magazine slot was empty. 'That Mule was right, she is smart.'

It wasn't only Elder Wen, Finn and Alan looked at her in surprise and slightly flustered on missing the detail. Dustin and Nathan's mouth was wide open in shock while Levi suppressed his smile seeing his president who could fool everyone easily.

Aria turned to Alan and said, "This is called a sneak move."

Alan's eyes turned dark seeing her smile after giving him a heart attack. Aria held her ear and pouted pitifully for forgiveness.

Finn: 😐

'These two will romance on the battlefield too.'

Elder Wen coughed lightly to get attention and to clear his awkwardness, "How long are you two going to cuddle in front of everyone?"

The whole time they forgot Hanes family members who were in bewilderment without understanding what was going on.

Elder Wen passed the handgun back to her and ignored Finn's gaze again.

Aria saw Assistant Seven standing up and glaring at her. "Assistant Seven of Chairman Hanes aka Omar Everett, head of the wiped out clan Septet, I didn't expect your men to have lousy moves."

Everyone's expression over there changed except Alan. Alan had received information that Aria had asked Vince's men to check.

Aria's doubt had started when Seven had attacked her last time to hold her handgun and knock her on the ground. That move wasn't as perfect as Vince exhibits so she had doubtfully sent his picture.

Aria, Alan, and Finn sat opposite Elder Hanes on a large luxurious sofa. Elder Hanes's face was pale looking at her.

Elder Wen ignored everyone and concentrated on Aria, "How did that old fox manage to get you to his family?"

Everyone: 😐

Alan pulled her closer placing his arm on the backrest on the sofa. He just announced without a word, 'Don't even dream about it.'

Aria didn't protest instead her shoulder leaned on his chest so that he could feel much calmer keeping her close, "Actually we two had chosen each other before grandfather saw me."

Then she turned to Elder Hanes who had turned into a mouse grinding his teeth, "Chairman Hanes, meet my husband, Alan Morgan. President and CEO of Morgan Industries."

Elder Hanes breathed heavily and shot a glance at his assistant cursing him how he could miss that detail.

Aria continued, "And he is Finn Stanley, My friend, Professor Wen's only grandson. Heir of Stanley and Wen family."

Aria cued Levi to turn on the television as she spoke, "I am not an orphan or spineless as you thought. I'm stronger than what you can think."

All turned towards the television. 'Caleb Hanes's house and all properties are raided by the Revenue Income tax. The black money found is eighty billion and still counting...'

Levi turned off the television after Aria's cue. Aria saw Elder Hanes was pale as a sheet.

"Were you thinking of his help?... Oops Sorry, I just helped the state to extract people's hard-earned money."

Caleb Hanes, Elder Hanes's nephew, was in State administration and a very good position but he misused it.

Aria had confirmed with Geoff that his company has nothing to do with Caleb Hanes before releasing the news to the Revenue Income service department.

Elder Wen was confused till that, "Why are you doing this? And why are you here again?" He had already heard everything from Elder Hanes about whatever Aria did.

Finn started to respond, "Grandpa, he..."

"Aria Cooper, I asked you."

Finn grounded his teeth. He knew his grandfather was still angry at him but he expected him to give a face.

Aria knew their discrepancy, "Professor Wen, I..."

"Is that how that cunning fox asked you to greet me? That narcissistic fool..." He cursed Curtis again.

'Is that how you treat friends?' Aria thought to herself and asked, "Do I have to address you as Grandfather?"

Elder Wen snickered, "You can call me Zeke."

Finn: 😐

Aria O.O

Zeke Wen saw her in astonishment. "What?"

Aria shook her head and quickly composed, "Grandfather Wen, Chairman Hanes had sent four to kill me today. And about Caleb Hanes, I wanted to cut off Elder Hanes's wings."

Zeke Wen stood up in fury and spoke, "No doubt security was tight here today. You should have told me before. I would have poisoned him without your high profile show."

Aria: O_O

Aria pulled Alan a little down and whispered at his ear, "I had heard Professor Wen as an old, unfriendly, irritable man. What is going on here?"

Alan saw her in confusion but just patted her head. That was a big problem.

Strong men have two main emotions. Love or hate. Most of them love her just knowing little about her. Only some brainless people will hate her.

Hence it was a little difficult for him to protect his wife from the hungry eyes of others. "Because you are dummy."

Aria's lips twitched, "I'm not."

On the other side, Zeke was screwing Elder Hanes, "Hey pig-headed Jude, don't you have a brain? How dare you go against Old head's granddaughter in law? Be happy that she is standing here else her husband would have blown your mansion into the wreckage. Don't you dare provoke him if you want to live one more day."

Aria: "..."
