Chapter 322

Ava did not expect such a reversal at all, so she looked at Dylan angrily and questioned him directly, “Dylan Burton, what’s going on?” Hershel, his father who had been silent all this time, also fixated his gaze on Dylan. “You’ve been monitoring Zivon and Jenna? You even schemed against Jenna? Is this how you conduct yourself as Zivon’s elder brother?” Dylan instantly became everyone’s target. The air turned frigid. Dylan frantically stood up before walking to the center. He looked anxious and desperate as he explained, “Grandma, Dad, I… I did monitor Zivon but I didn’t harm him or Sister-in-law. I really didn’t do that!” Helen also stood up and apologized anxiously, “That’s right. Dylan simply discovered that something was not right with the relationship between Zivon and Jenna. Hence, he sent someone to monitor them but he did no harm to them. I can swear.” Sure enough, it was them! Zivon narrowed his long eyes dangerously. If it weren’t for their discovery and their counter-attack this time, he would not know what kind of things might have happened in future. He coldly said, “Big Brother, I’d like to ask you. Even if there is something that’s wrong with my relationship with Jenna, what were you monitoring? What was your purpose? “In addition, the reporter confessed that you paid them five hundred thousand dollars tonight so that they would publicize the news widely. You even paid for shills. Big Brother, I ask of you, what would you gain from destroying our reputation as spouses? Could it be because I have wronged you in any way as your little brother? Or do you think that I’m standing in your way?” His voice was attractive and low and it sounded like he was asking a casual rhetorical question politely. However, as soon as his voice fell on the air, it became incomparably sharp and devastating! He clearly meant that Dylan wanted to eradicate everything that was standing in his way! Dylan’s face tensed up! Indeed, he wanted to get rid of them and teach them a lesson. However, if he were to admit to it, it would be too treacherous. He panickedly spoke up, “It’s not like that, Zivon. I didn’t think that way. Don’t get me wrong.” However, his explanation was too shallow and useless in front of the truth. Ava’s face also fell as her eyes looked sharp and disappointed. “Dylan, oh Dylan, you’re already holding an important shareholder position in the company. Isn’t that enough for you? I’m already so old now, but I have to witness you brothers fighting amongst yourselves. How can you be so ruthless? Why are you such a disappointment?” Ava was heartbroken. The fact that she mentioned ‘important shareholder position in the company’ naturally meant that things were bound to be complicated. Dylan panicked. “Grandma, it’s not what you think. I only monitored them because I really felt that they were acting suspiciously. As for the photos tonight, I was simply drunk and got carried away. I apologize to Zivon and Sister-in-law. Please forgive me. “Dad, please plead with my grandma on my behalf.” Hershel sighed. After that, he turned his face away and simply ignored Dylan. The son that he loved the most was Zivon. Zivon was indeed outstanding and excellent compared to the others. On the other hand, Dylan lacked in abilities. Ava was generous and merciful enough for allowing him to hold the position as an important shareholder of the company, but to his surprise, Dylan did not appreciate the grace and even schemed against his own younger brother. He was malicious. Ava said directly, “From today onwards, I shall relieve Dylan from his position in the company for one month. Moreover, he shall be grounded and sent to the ancestral hall to copy scriptures as a punishment. In addition, he shall publish a letter of apology to apologize to Zivon and Jenna.” Not only would this punishment make him lose the benefits, but it was also a slap in his face! The main point was that he really did not scheme against Jenna! Dylan stepped forward anxiously. “Grandma, it’s unfair. I…” “If you say one more word, you will be grounded for two months!” “Grandma…” “Three months!” Ava’s face was cold and merciless. Dylan was stunned and did not dare to say another word. Helen also hurriedly pulled Dylan as she apologized. “Grandma, Dylan really knows that he was wrong. I’ll accompany him to go and copy scriptures now. He’ll definitely turn over a new leaf.” After that, Helen pulled Dylan strongly and left. Silence filled the atmosphere again. The people present exchanged glances with one another in dismay and laughed awkwardly. “Eldest brother is really too much. Zivon has done so much for the family but Eldest Brother still bullied him.” “Grandma, take it easy. We won’t be like Eldest Brother.” “Grandma, I really like Uncle Zivon and Aunt-in-law very much. I have also been chasing Aunt-in-law’s program lately. I think she’s very kind, and she is indeed not the kind of person on the news.” These people were fence-sitters and could change sides at any time, but that was all for them. Ava glanced at them and said coldly…
