Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 66

“Mom, what are you doing? What’s with the attitude? How could you treat grandfather this way?”

“Yeah, who do you think you are?”

“Kneel and apologize to grandfather now.”

…

The Callahans took turns to criticize Gladys.

Gladys changed her tune at once. Smiling, she said, “Dad, my house is too small for you since it’s not a villa. We haven’t got many chairs either. Since there’ll be no space inside the house, I think you should stay outside. We can discuss whatever it is you came to discuss here. Oh, and you brought gifts too! Davie, where are your manners? Take the gifts!”

“Okay!”

David accepted the gifts from the Callahans. However, there were so many gifts that he could not take them all. He shouted, “Lyssa, help!”

David passed Alyssa the gifts in his arms before reaching out for more.

Lex tried his best to remain calm. Leaning on his cane, he said, “Gladys, we’re family. Whatever differences we had in the past, we should let them go. I’m here to reinstate you as part of the family.”

“Dad, it’s fine.” Gladys waved her hand. “This is great for us! At the very least, we won’t have to live by your rules anymore. As we’re able-bodied, we’ll survive even without you.”

“Gladys, how can you…”

“What? Howard, let me remind you that this isn’t the villa. You lack the authority to order me around here.”

Overhearing the argument from inside the house, James smiled.

Thea was slightly anxious.

They were a family after all. Why was her mom making things so awkward?

She got up and approached the entrance. “Mom, forget about it.”

“Forget about it?” Gladys roared. “Haven’t you been through enough? Have you forgotten how they used to mock and humiliate you?”

“I…” Thea turned beet red, not knowing what to say.
