Elina Clark was over eighty this year, a rather progressive little old man, who could keep up with the young peopleâs mindset.
However, he was very strict about the family rules of the Clark Family.
In fact, there were not even five family rules, all of which were constraints on major ethical behaviors.
These were the behavioral ethics standards that children would learn from a young age.
Any normal person wouldnât violate them.
Take the first one, the prohibition of infighting within the family.
Elina Clark was very strict about this rule, perhaps due to the influence of the old times. His grandfather and father had adhered to it, so he has always subconsciously believed that any violation would bring retribution, a negative karma.
Naturally, he knew that Henry Clark had to be overthrown given the current situation, but he did not want to see the person taking action be Kevin Clark, or anyone from the Clark Family.
âRelease him quickly.â Elina Clark stated, âI donât care what others do, but it definitely canât be you.â
Kevin Clark understood his fatherâs thinking, and considering that his father was an old man, trying to change his ingrained thoughts was hardly possible: âDad, Iâve already done it, I wonât let him go now.â
Elina Clark didnât expect him to refuse, he stood up and looked at him: âKevin Clark, say it again for me.â
Seeing this, Calvin Stewart grabbed Theo Clarkâs hand.
Theo Clark had been watching them all along, but when his father got angry, he dared not speak up. He understood that the more he tried to persuade, the angrier his father would get.
Natalie Wayne didnât interrupt at this time either, just quietly watching from the side.
âDad, over twenty years ago, Henry Clark threw Hugo Clark into the swimming pool and he almost drowned.â Kevin Clark said softly, âHe has lived for these twenty years due to the protection of our ancestors. But this time our ancestors canât protect him.â
Kevin Clarkâs voice had just stopped when suddenly, a slap sounded again in the living room.
Everyone was stunned as Elina Clark sharply slapped Kevin Clark on the face.
Kevin Clark was hit so hard that his head turned to the side, and he staggered to the side a little.
Elina Clark lost his support and due to the inertia, staggered as well.
Natalie Wayne immediately stood up, supporting him, and at the same time held him back: âBrother Louis.â
Calvin Stewart felt a heartache and his eyes instantly turned red, he stood up.
Theo Clark also immediately walked to Elina Clarkâs side, supporting his other hand: âDad.â
Hugo Clark also stood up, but dared not to get closer. Hardy Clark hid directly behind Hugo Clark.
Elina Clark was being supported from both sides, he looked at the blood on Kevin Clarkâs mouth corner, and tightly gripped the hand he had used to slap him.
Kevin Clark straightened his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and sighed: âDad, you calm down first, Iâll come back in a couple of days.â
After saying that, he glanced at Theo Clark and left directly.
Seeing him leaving, Elina Clark took a couple of deep breaths and sat back down on the sofa.
The experiments Daisy Zane had to conduct were not many, it was just that the data she needed to collate was massive.
There wasnât too many missing data, so the experiments she had to conduct were not too complicated. They should be done in one night.
She could organize the data at home.
While observing the reaction of the experiment, her cell phone rang.
Daisy Zane ignored it, not until a few minutes later, when the phone rang for the second time, did she find the time to pick it up.
It was a call from Hardy Clark.
She pressed the answer key, and the moment she put the phone to her ear, she heard Hardy Clark say: âAuntie, is Third Uncle with you?â
âNo, what is it?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMy Grandfather slapped my Third Uncle today.â Hardy Clark said.
Daisy Zane suddenly furrowed her eyebrows: âWhat happened?â
Hardy Clark told Daisy Zane what she roughly knew, âAuntie, you go and persuade Third Uncle. It seems that Grandfather is still very angry, not talking to anyone.â
âHmm, I see.â
After hanging up the call, Daisy Zane finished her experiment at hand and then immediately called Kevin Clark.
âWhere are you?â she asked straight after he picked up the call.
âWhatâs the matter? Iâm at Easton Group.â Kevin Clark was passing by Easton Group and decided to pick up something, he just parked his car in the Easton Groupâs parking lot.
âWait for me there.â
After dropping this sentence, Daisy Zane hung up the call.
Kevin Clark was momentarily perplexed, after realizing whatâs going on, he guessed that someone from his family must have broken the news to her.
He had wanted to hide it for a couple more days, at least until the swelling on his face subsided.
Twenty minutes later, Daisy Zane arrived at the grand hall of the Easton Group. Right after she entered, the receptionist came over and asked her.
After telling her name, the receptionist directly led her to the elevator.
But the elevator was going down towards the parking lot.
Upon reaching the parking lot, the elevator door opened, and Daisy Zane saw Kevin Clark standing at the elevator entrance.
She squinted her eyes when she saw Kevin Clarkâs somewhat reddened face and split lips.
Kevin Clarkâs skin reddened easily. Sometimes, when she tightly held his wrist, there would be reddish marks on it. But it wouldnât swell up easily.
Last time when his palm was badly injured, only the area around the wound swelled slightly.
Kevin Clark took her hand, grabbed the medicine from her hand, and led her towards the car. âWho told you? Someoneâs a real whistleblower, they told you in such a short time.â
âYour father is quite ruthless.â Daisy Zaneâs voice was somewhat bleak.
âHe was furious,â explained Kevin Clark, âand it doesnât hurt.â
Daisy Zane kept silent and got in the car with him.
Both of them sat in the back seat. Daisy Zane opened the bottle of alcohol, preparing to disinfect his wound. In a soft voice, she asked, âHenry Clark kidnapped Olivia Lane, why didnât you use the Lane Family?â
Kevin Clark knew what Daisy Zane was thinking about, so he looked at her without speaking.
âBecause of me?â
Kevin Clark pinched her chin and kissed her lip, âThe debt of injuring you, Iâm going to make him pay no matter what.â
âYouâre disregarding family rules?â
âMy father is getting older, not only does he overly follow routines, heâs also indecisive. If he were my age, he wouldnât hesitate so much, Henry Clark wouldnât have stayed alive till now, and he wouldnât have laid hands on me today.â
Right after Kevin Clark finished speaking, he was about to lean in and kiss her again. But Daisy Zane put the cotton swab soaked in alcohol at the corner of his mouth.
Kevin Clark involuntarily frowned, then laughed, âLittle Girl, you seem to have a bit of a personal grudge there.â
Daisy Zane glanced at him and lightened her movements, âYou can let Henry Clark go. Iâd catch him later.â
Kevin Clark chuckled, âI see, my Little Girl came here to mediate. My family actually bribed my girlfriend.â
âI came here to watch the fun.â Daisy Zane dabbed some medicine on the corner of his mouth and said softly, âIf I may ask, Third Master, how does it feel to be hit for the first time at the age of 29?â
âI guess my life seems complete now.â Kevin Clark joked, âIt makes up for the regret of my childhood.â
âYou had quite the regret of not being hit as a child.â
âNot anymore.â Kevin Clark held her waist and pulled her into his arms. âEven though the old Clark is over eighty, his punch is still so powerful. It must have hurt a lot when he was young. No wonder my elder brother, event at an age of over fifty, dares not to make a peep when he sees my father get angry.â
Daisy Zane gently touched his reddened cheek with her thumb, leaned on his shoulder, and after a while, she said, âIf you donât let Henry Clark go, how will you explain it to your father?â
âHe has already vented his anger by hitting me. Iâll bring Charles Amos over tomorrow to cheer him up.â
Daisy Zane: â â So, Charles Amos is brought to pacify the mood.
