Jimmy's voice was gruff as he spoke with a strict, stolid expression. Undeniably, Felix was shocked by his threatening manner.
It was quite embarrassing to be menaced by someone younger than he was.
Felix was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word. He looked particularly weak and embarrassed because of Jimmy's height.
After a long time, Felix regained his voice. "W-What are you doing? Let go of me!"
While squinting his eyes, he said, "Do you want me to let go of you? Can you promise not to touch my wife?"
"What do you mean? C- Can't I educate my daughter? Behave yourself!"
"Don't forget that she's my wife." Jimmy's expression suddenly turned cold. "If she has nothing to do with me, you can teach her in whatever way you want. But she's my wife now, so you can't do what you want. Nobody can ever bully my wife!"
Felix was taken aback by the words, and his face was quite gloomy.
Jimmy, on the other hand, looked indifferent as he even dared to speak to his own father in such a manner. Furthermore, Felix was just his father-in-law that had nothing to do with him, so why did he have to be nice to the man who bullied his wife?
There was a moment of dead silence in the dining hall.
No one had expected that such a meal would end up like this. While Ariah had slapped Lindsey, Jimmy had directly fought with Felix. Everyone was stunned. Even Ariah did not think that Jimmy would stand up for her.
She had thought that Jimmy would choose to be a bystander in her family affairs.
After a long silence, the first one to react was Dakota. She hurriedly pulled at Jimmy's hand and said, "Quick, let go of him..."
After all, Felix was his elder, and it was inappropriate for him to treat Felix like this.
Therefore, Jimmy retracted his hand as though nothing had happened. Without even looking at the other people, he grabbed Ariah and sat down to eat. He even placed a piece of chicken into her bowl. "Don't you like eating this?"
Ariah was rendered speechless.
How could he pretend that nothing had happened after threatening Felix?
Without uttering a single word, she could only eat the food that Jimmy had fed her. Her mind was still thinking about Jimmy's words.
He had claimed that nobody could bully his wife.
For some inexplicable reason, Ariah felt a burning sensation in her ears, and her heart started to beat faster, too.
Obviously, Jimmy wanted to settle this issue with the Myers Family in peace. Since the initial wrongdoer was Lindsey, Felix could only suppress his anger while eating silently.
However, Lindsey didn't understand the rage in her father's eyes. She was still thinking of ways to ridicule Ariah.
"Ariah, apologize to me!" Lindsey pointed at Ariah's nose and scolded, "If you don't apologize today, you won't be able to step into the Myers Family in the future!"
If she didn't vent her anger, she would not be able to keep her dignity intact.
