Chapter 304 - Scary Wife And Husband

Ch-303

"What did you say?" Esther asked the old woman. The dark aura emanated, from her body. Her red eyes shined like red pearls. Her eyes were turning darker as seconds passed by. Reggie and Michelle could feel the changes in Esther. Reggie knew what it meant. Even though he was a two-hundred-year-old soul… in terms of the body, he was still a kid.

The old woman flinched at Esther's demeanor. She didn't expect Esther to be this scary. Old Madam Kate, always doted on her granddaughter. She never considered her eldest Granddaughter though as her own. If not for Joshua Kate, she would have kicked her out. When her eldest daughter-in-law divorced her son, she took almost half of the assets and left a daughter in her house. How could she take it? She never wanted a granddaughter but a grandson. Her first daughter-in-law never gave it to her. But now her son got a young daughter-in-law for her, and she was willing to conceive till she gives birth to a son. So… obviously, she would dote on her.

And what Lily said to her… she comforted her saying that if she marries a handsome man, she would have handsome children. Lily decided to marry Reggie at that time. The old madam laughed at it when she heard that. But when she saw the news of Esther and Cyrus and Reggie being the son of the highest nobility, she felt only her granddaughter had the right to marry him.

So… she wanted to install her granddaughter as his wife. But the Old Madam Kate felt disrespected when she saw the lack of respect from Esther. How dare she!? She was the future in-laws of their family. They have to respect her and follow her demands and wishes. If she didn't act strictly from now… her family would never be respected!

But Old Madam Kate was thinking too far. Reggie was still a kid, at least in this human body he was still a kid. She started scheming at this age against a little kid. Esther would never let her son have any grievances. And this old woman was trying to poke his future and now, she was trying to decide his future as if she was related to him somehow!

How dare she!

If not for her age, she would smash her head a long time ago. But as the seconds passed, she was getting annoyed at her thoughts and her audacity. She remembered her mother's words, "Age never gives the right to demand respect nor give the right to decide someone else's future. It's the attitude that always matters. If an attitude is not right… that person doesn't deserve anything. So… keep your attitude in check, Esther Benjamin," Lia said these words to Esther when she followed the demands of an unreasonable old woman's words during her childhood.

"I am older than you! You shouldn't scare me!" The old woman yelled, attracting the attention of the onlookers. "I scared you? When and how? I asked what did you say? Just four words. How does that look scary?" Esther said. Every word she uttered was filled with venom. If looks could kill, the old woman would have been buried under six feet by now.

Reggie: "…"

Michelle: "…"

Everyone: "…"

[Miss, we don't know why but every word you said is scary.] They thought.

But from the looks of her words there seemed to be nothing. From what they heard Esther was known as a cool woman and wouldn't get angry easily. Indeed, these were the words of their children. And when they saw the news and the family photo of Reggie, Cyrus and Esther were released this afternoon, everyone felt shocked at this piece of news. So, many parents came to take a look at them. And they saw Esther from the day Reggie joined, she spoke with everyone and gave chocolates to their kids too. She spoke with every kid softly and asked them to be good with her son.

But what now?

This is too strange.

"I-I-I…" The old woman stuttered.

"I thought only your young daughter-in-law had a loose tongue. Oh! Wait! Your eldest granddaughter and your second young daughter-in-law are of the same age with a 3 to 4 years difference. Tsk…"

"Well, I don't care about your family affairs. I let the thing slide when she used her loose tongue on the internet last night as I already planned to reveal my identity to the public."

"But… never had I thought, that everyone in the Kate family had the loose tongue. I guess… your family doesn't want to survive on the earth anymore, seeing the audacity you are showing to me," Esther's voice was so scary that it sent chills in their spines.

Everyone felt she was being scary. But she is the matriarch of the huge nobility that belongs to Atlantis. They never abide by the world's rules. And no one dares to arrest them or holds them accountable in this world or in any part of this world. Only a fool would mess with them. And as for the Liliath Kate, they never thought she would marry an old man and that too her age was close to her husband's daughter. And that too, knowing their identities like a fool, she messed with the high-ranked nobility. To begin with, Benjamin's family was already scary enough. They wiped off the Garcia's in ten days with their roots! And she was the wife of Vritra… only a fool would mess with them.

"Old Madam Kate! I need you to repeat the words clearly and crisply! If not, they would think I am bullying you with my power!" Esther said loud enough so that everyone around the onlookers could hear.

" There were even paparazzi and media in them too secretly recording it. When they were not noticing Esther, closed her eyes for a brief second and chanted something in her heart… suddenly there were the screams of cameras and recording devices being burned. But she didn't care. "You won't repeat it?" Esther asked as a sneer formed on her face.

The old woman started sweating at her words. But still, she didn't regret her words. She still thought her granddaughter was a good fit for him. She didn't do anything wrong. "What's wrong with my words? Does only my granddaughter not have the right to marry him? Can you find anyone better than my granddaughter as your future daughter-in-law? We are rich enough! And you dare to raise your voice against me! Let me teach you a lesson with my cane! You just wait, bitch!" She said as she raised her cane, but before she could cane Esther, Esther caught it with her left hand with a lazy expression.

"Mr Kate, maybe your mother doesn't know about the reputation of Benjamin's family and Vritra's family. But you know? And you all know… Benjamin's direct family is from the top five families in Atlantis. And everyone saw what happened to Garcia's but still, you let your mother bark like a dog? Huh?" Esther said as she checked the nails of her right hand.

Joshua wouldn't disagree if one said he wasn't greedy. But now he regretted provoking them and being blinded by his mother and his greediness. He gulped hard. "Looks like someone is trying to bully my wife in my absence!" A strong voice reverberated in the middle of the crowd.

When everyone looked at the source of the voice… They saw a man standing there majestically. He wore a grey suit paired with a black shirt and wore a black glass. He hung his grey coat on his right shoulder as he stood leisurely. His perfectly gelled hair revealed his sculpted facial features, and his firm expression sent chills into their bodies. Adding to Esther's dark aura along with Cyrus's dangerous aura, it's a horror scene for everyone. And his height gave an advantage to his aura. It felt like everyone was supposed to be looked down on by him. As he took steps forward, everyone took a step backward from their current position. Indeed, a king would be a king always.

"What happened?" He asked, removing his glasses, he raised his hand in the air and snapped it once. A few people in black suddenly appeared around them. They locked the onlookers so that they could not escape and few people surrounded Cyrus, Esther, Reggie, and Michelle. And two people blocked the Kate family.

Everyone: "…"

Dammit! The scene looked like a movie scene. And it's too scary.

"Sir, this old woman said that our young Prince wouldn't find anyone better than this beggar family granddaughter. And she claimed that the Queen didn't respect her enough when Her Majesty gave her enough face. The old lady dared to cane her suddenly but Her Majesty caught the cane with ease," the bodyguard said in rapid-fire.

[How dare this old woman to have the audacity to use her stinky tongue against her Majesty and Prince!?] He thought.

"I guess… I need to change the guards. Can't even protect the Queen of the Vritra empire and the future Kind of Vritra?" Cyrus snorted. Every guard felt sweat dripping from their back when they heard his words.

"Let's discuss the guard's problem later. For now… Punish everyone left in the Kate family according to the Vritra rules." Cyrus said.

Everyone: "…"

Too scary!
