I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 400

Steven frowned but said nothing.

I was stunned and quickly tried to refuse. "Grandpa, this is too much. I can't accept this money. Steven and I are already divorced."

Grandpa had always looked out for me, and most of his money was tied up in Aether Studio; his liquid assets were limited. For him to give me a billion now was a testament to his affection for me.

But Mr. Lancaster Sr. simply tucked the bank card into my pocket. "The Lancaster family handled this poorly from the start. Your marriage ended up this way because that brat Steven did something wrong. And for him to treat you so badly during a divorce... I can't stand by and watch. You take the money. You deserve it."

"As for this kid, I will definitely teach him a lesson. But since he's in a sorry state today, I'll let him off for now. Once he's better, I'll beat him right back into the hospital to help you let off some steam, okay?"

He said this last part loudly, clearly for Steven's benefit.

Steven's face darkened. "Grandpa."

Mr. Lancaster Sr. slammed his cane on the floor. "Quiet! Don't you call me Grandpa. Don't force me to whip you when I'm in such a good mood."

Steven pressed his lips together and fell silent.

I couldn't help but smile, looking gratefully at Mr. Lancaster Sr. "Thank you, Grandpa. In that case, I won't be polite."

Mr. Lancaster Sr. beamed. "Good, good."

Ryan was also pleased, leaning in to whisper in my ear.

"Zephyra, this old man really has your back. I like him. A thousand times better than Steven!"

Then, he smugly shot Steven a provocative grin and flipped him the middle finger.

Steven's eyes narrowed dangerously, his expression turning venomous.

"Gordon, seize him. Take him to the police station."

Gordon looked utterly desperate. "Mr. Lancaster..."

My face changed, and just as I was about to intervene, Mr. Lancaster Sr. spoke first, his voice a roar. "I'd like to see who dares! Steven, have you lost your mind? Why would you arrest the Lopez boy?"

Steven's handsome face hardened as he looked at me impassively. "He assaulted me, and no one is going to protect him. Why can't I send him to jail? Do I need to show him any mercy?"
