Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Chapter 74 An Unpleasant Family Gathering

Noah's self-righteousness made Daphne laugh in exasperation.

"The little bit you peek out from between your fingers is enough to make us work ourselves to death and still not earn enough to buy the farm you gave to your male lovers." Daphne suppressed her anger and looked at him. "Noah, even if Brother Ryan did something, he still had some sense of propriety when it came to his lovers. But what you gave them was utterly inappropriate! Besides, you've already given them a restaurant. If you're too nice to them with those playthings, they'll just take advantage of you!"

"You, as the head of the Davis family, like men, which is already enough to embarrass us. How much more do you want to drag us down with you?!" Daphne said this harshly.

Noah's expression remained largely unchanged in the face of her accusations. He said, "Aunt, it seems you've been misunderstanding something all along?"

Noah's expression turned cold. "The things I gave you were distributed according to Grandpa's will. I gave you a little extra as a favor. If you think I'm not being reasonable enough, then I'll take them back, and you can keep cursing me then."

Daphne's expression changed, and she was so angry that she couldn't say another word.

The Davis family does indeed possess a vast amount of wealth and assets, but only the patriarch can inherit the majority. If, upon the patriarch's death, the Davis family's wealth were to be divided equally among each child, the enormous Davis family would be fragmented into its own.

Originally, the Davis family could have been the kings of the North, but after being divided into several parts, they would probably fall to second or third place. Furthermore, the members of the Davis family know that no matter what, they will get a share of the inheritance, so why bother studying hard? They might as well just lie down and wait for the old man in the family to die so they can divide the property.

The Davis family does not allow its descendants to lie low; without capable leaders, the family will only decline rapidly. Therefore, only the head of the family can obtain most of the Davis family's money and power, while the loser can only eat the breadcrumbs that fall between the head of the family's fingers.

This is a rule that all members of the Davis family know, but there are always those who have been lazy since childhood and try to use their status as elders to gain more benefits for themselves. However, Noah doesn't fall for it at all.

“Noah, don’t go to such extremes. Daphne was right about one thing: your liking for men has indeed disgraced the Davis family.” Turner calmed down and started attacking Noah again.

Noah sneered, "If I liked women, you should be the ones worrying. After all, if I had my own children, you should be worried that your children would end up working for my children and never be able to win."

These words silenced everyone.

Noah was right. The head of the Davis family must be of Davis blood. Since Noah had no children of his own, he could only choose from among his nephews.

Daphne fought for Davis's surname for her daughter, hoping to have a chance to compete for the position of head of the family in the future. But life is unpredictable, and no one knows what the future holds.

“We’re here to eat today. What you’ve been saying has made the atmosphere too awkward. Let’s talk about something else calmly,” Ryan, who had been silent until now, said to the group.

Just as Daphne was about to say something, a child's cry rang out.

Everyone looked towards the children, where Patty, dressed in a pretty doll dress, was sitting on the backs of two little boys, her little fists raining down on them.

"Patty, what are you doing?! Get down here right now!"

Seeing her child being beaten, Chad's wife, Sheila, rushed over, grabbed Patty's arm, and pulled her aside.

Petty was fine against two little boys, but Sheila was an adult and was strong enough to throw her to the ground.

Little Petty was very brave. After falling to the ground, she haughtily snorted, stood up, dusted herself off, clenched her little fists, and said in her childish voice, "I'll beat you up!"

"You wretched girl, born of a mother but raised without one, how dare you speak to your cousins ​​like that?!" Seeing her child being beaten and crying loudly, Sheila didn't even have time to comfort her. She just wanted to get revenge for her child as soon as possible, and she raised her hand while cursing.

To everyone's surprise, Noah stood behind Petty.

Petty immediately hid behind Noah and made a face at Sheila.

"...You unruly brat, Noah, you saw it too, Patty is bullying her two cousins!" Sheila said righteously.

Chad also came over.

Noah glanced coldly at the boy lying on the ground, wailing loudly. They seemed to know that as long as they cried like this, the adults would definitely give in and try every means to comfort them, so they shouted as loudly as they could.

There's a kind of urgency that they want the whole world to hear their wailing.

"What trash?" Noah said coldly, lightly kicking Roy's arm with the tip of his shoe. His cold gaze fell on the two boys, making them look like a great villain from a fairy tale. They immediately got up and hid in their mother's arms to continue crying.

"Two big boys were beaten to tears by a little girl, and they still have the nerve to cry so loudly here. Chad, the next generation of the Davis family is so useless. I'm already worried about the future of the Davis family."

Upon hearing this, Chad's face turned pale, his lips pressed into a thin line, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Sheila, however, felt sorry for her child and said, "All children are like this when they're little. What's wrong with them getting hurt and crying? Weren't you like this when you were little?"

Noah didn't intend to explain to Sheila what he was like as a child; it was so long ago, he had forgotten. He looked at the little girl behind him and asked, "Why did you hit them?"

"Roy smeared chocolate on my skirt, and Kissy stepped on my foot. I told them to apologize, but they wouldn't, and they smeared even more chocolate on me. Those rude guys, I punched them!"

Petty showed Noah her little dress that had been smeared with chocolate. It was one of her favorite little dresses, and she was so angry that she clenched her little fists, clearly not satisfied with how dirty it was.

“Pettit didn’t cry even after being bullied like this, but the two boys are crying like this. Chad, you should teach your children a lesson. Don’t let them be born of mothers and not be taught. Are they dead?” Noah’s voice was cold when he said the last sentence.

Hearing this, Sheila knew that Noah was insulting her, and she was immediately furious and wanted to retort.

Seeing that his wife was still arguing, Chad said coldly, "What are you standing there for? Take those two disgraceful people aside and make them quiet down."

Noah's childhood was worse than Patty's. Patty had an uncle who protected and educated her. Noah only had servants with him. Everyone thought he, the eldest grandson, was an abandoned child, and no one gave him any love.

Sheila's words to Patty were actually directed at Noah as well.

Amidst the heated exchange and sharp rebuttals, the restaurant manager cautiously approached and informed Noah's Kitchen that the food was ready and could be served at any time.

Noah asked everyone to take their seats. He sat in the head seat, picked up a glass of red wine, and said, "Fellow family members, before the meal, I would like to propose a toast to you all. To us, we have had another unpleasant family gathering."
