King's Awakening

Originally fuming, Sana Robert’s heart skipped a beat once she heard the voice of Cooper. She immediately followed his order and obediently walked in front of him.

With a slap on the face, Cooper, without saying a word, angrily reprimanded her: “Wretch! Kneel down for me!”

This…?

The conceited Sana Robert was entirely stunned by this slap from Cooper.

What on earth is going on?

Why would her grandfather make her kneel in front of so many people?

What had she done wrong?

“Grandfather, I…” Sana Robert tried to defend herself, but Cooper cut her off with a slap on her other cheek.

With a crisp sound, she was totally silenced.

This time, Sana Robert dared not speak any more. She knelt in front of Cooper directly.

She knew that while Cooper usually spoiled her, she was not allowed to act out of line when it came to major matters.

Not to mention, Cooper was currently furious.

However, Sana Robert couldn’t understand where his anger was coming from.

And the crowd at the scene was even more baffled.

Seeing this, Grandy Anderson, who had been following Sana Robert, rushed forward to mediate. She hoped to familiarize herself with Cooper.

“Elder Robert, doesn’t this seem like some misunderstanding? Sana has only…” Grandy Anderson tried to mediate for Sana Robert so she could owe her a favor.

However, Cooper didn’t give her a chance to intervene. As soon as she opened her mouth, Cooper fiercely glared at her and roared in unabated rage, “Who do you think you are?

When am I letting a bystander like you interfere when I’m reprimanding my granddaughter?

Are you teaching me how to behave now!?”

Whoosh!

Hearing this, Grandy Anderson’s face tightened, she was stunned, standing helplessly in her place.

Then, without even wanting to look at her again, Cooper turned back to Sana Robert, scolding her even more sternly, “It seems I’ve been too indulgent with you in the past, spoiling you until you’ve become so disrespectful!?

What gives you the right to speak on behalf of the Robert Family? What gives you the right to misuse your status to bully people here on behalf of our family? What gives you the right to drive others away?

Now, even an old man like me, you’re not taking seriously, right!?”

Kneeling on the ground, Sana Robert immediately fell silent after hearing these words, trembling uncontrollably all over.

She had never seen Cooper lose his temper like this ever since her childhood.

She had evidently touched his bottom line.

However, why was this happening? She had merely taught a lesson to White Mitchell and Sherry Jones, two natives of Sayon.

Even if she did make a mistake, would Cooper lose his temper so badly?

Sana Robert, not understanding why, knelt down, shedding silent tears, looking utterly wronged.

Seeing this situation, the crowd dared not say anything more. After all, if Cooper could deal this harshly with his granddaughter, wouldn’t he skin them alive if they took her place?

“You wicked child! Stay here and kneel until tomorrow’s sunrise and repent. If anyone dares to give her a drop of water without my orders, I’ll make her kneel another day!” Cooper voiced his command authoritatively.

Upon hearing this, all the servants in the villa shivered, none daring to defy Cooper’s order.

Seeing the situation, Grandy Anderson who was standing aside couldn’t help but try to sneak away from this controversial scene.

Although she didn’t know why Cooper was so irritated, she had just been trying to intercede for Sana Robert. If her attempts angered Cooper, she’d certainly be in a bad spot.

However, as she took a few steps, Cooper behind her turned and glared at the crowd, outrage blazing in his eyes.

“Who the hell started this trouble?” He demanded, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present.

In the end, his gaze landed on April from the prominent Zhang Group.

“As far as I know, you’re the only one here who is close to Sana. Was it you?” Cooper questioned fiercely.

Being the target of Cooper’s scrutiny, a shiver ran through April’s delicate frame, and her pretty face was quickly covered with a grey pallor.

She originally planned to defend herself, but upon seeing Cooper’s sharp eyes, she immediately dared not be rude and hastily shifted the blame onto Grandy Anderson.

“It was her! She caused all the trouble. I didn’t say anything, I just brought her to see Sana. Sir Robert, please understand, I am totally uninvolved in this.”

At this point, it was every man for himself, and April was just trying to save herself.

Upon hearing April’s words, Grandy Anderson, who was originally planning to slip away, felt like killing April.

“April, what nonsense are you talking about? I…” Not knowing how to defend herself, Grandy Anderson began to speak but hesitated and stuttered nervously.

Seeing her reaction, Cooper immediately ordered his men to bring the two women in front of him.

He then listened to April and Grandy Anderson blaming each other, each trying to shift the blame onto the other.

After listening to their quarreling, Cooper finally understood the relationship between Grandy Anderson and White Mitchell.

Ha! What a vicious woman Grandy Anderson is!

White Mitchell is a highly important figure who many high-profile businessmen want to befriend, but who would have thought, before White’s rise to prominence, there would be such a dark chapter in his life.

Grandy Anderson and the rest of them deserved to die!

Cooper’s face suddenly twisted in anger, and his eyes frighteningly filled with a trace of murderous intent.

However, this murderous intent quickly faded. He knew that if White Mitchell really wanted them dead, he wouldn’t need to get involved. With just a word, he could easily wipe these insignificant people off the face of the earth.

The fact that Grandy Anderson and the rest of them were still alive was definitely White Mitchell’s doing. If he killed them now, it would be overstepping his place.

Hence, Cooper just sneered and coldly said, “Enough! Shut your mouths! As of today, Dragon Steel Building Materials will stop supplying to both of your families. Not only that, anyone who supplies to your families would be opposing me. Someone, get all these people out of here, I don’t want this stupid banquet anymore, make them all get lost!”

The entire event hall stirred.

These words instantly sent shock waves throughout the audience.

Grandy Anderson was completely stunned on the spot, unable to recover her composure.

What made her completely collapse was her husband, Alan Austin. Upon witnessing the scene, he rushed over from the crowd, pointing at her nose and scolding, “You stupid woman! Look at the mess you’ve created! How dare you do such shameless things behind my back!”

“Alan, I…” Grandy Anderson was on the verge of a meltdown, but before she could finish speaking, Alan ignored her and turned to Cooper with a flattering look.

He said with a regretful smile, “Sir Robert, I’m really sorry. This is all because of my lack of control over my own woman. But please believe me, she did this all on her own. Our Imperial Group has nothing to do with this. As long as you’re willing to supply our Imperial Group, I am willing to divorce her right now.”

“Oh?” Cooper’s eyes flashed an imperceptible playful light as he responded in a distant voice, “Does she really have nothing to do with your Imperial Group?”
