Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4840

Darryl kept a straight face and said to Gerald, "So what if I hit you?"

"You're just a butler of the Stanford family, and I am their son-in-law and Miss Stanford's husband. Based on status, I'm considered your Master, and you're just a servant. As a servant, you've insulted me time and time again. Shouldn't I teach you a lesson?

"As a butler, you're supposed to protect the safety of everyone in the Stanford family, but you allowed Herod and the mountain bandits into the house, and they even tied Old Master Stanford up, causing him so much mistreatment at such an old age. Don't you think I should hit you for being so useless?"

He spoke loudly and clearly.

"I…"

Gerald was stunned and stared blankly at Darryl. His face was red, and he was at a loss for words.

The people around were also stunned. The ancestral hall was in pin-drop silence. At that moment, everyone was utterly shocked.

'Is this really Derrick, the useless yes-man?'

"Derrick, how dare you…"

Finally, Gerald gathered his thoughts and pointed at Darryl, wanting to say something. However, Old Master Stanford interrupted him after saying a few words.

Old Master Stanford's face changed at that moment, and he yelled, "Gerald! You've become more and more audacious. Derrick is right. He's the son-in-law of the Stanford family, and he's your Master. How could you be so disrespectful toward him?"

"From now on, you must be respectful to Derrick. You heard me? If you dare to be presumptuous again, I'll never forgive you!"

Immediately, Gerald became nervous and quickly nodded. "Yes, Old Master!"

At that moment, Gerald was aggrieved.

'D*mn it. I'm so unlucky tonight. First, I was robbed by the mountain bandits, then Derrick stuffed my mouth with a rag, and he even slapped me a few times. After all of that, Old Master Stanford didn't even take my side.'

Old Master Stanford ordered his subordinates and said, "The few of you! Go and inform the bailiff in town. Tell them that Herod brought the mountain bandits of the Snow Wolf Mountain to rob the Stanford family, and they've all been trapped!"

"Yes!" A few of them answered and rushed to inform the bailiff.
