Honorable Hubby Behind Me

Chapter 2

"You fart. Grandma hasn't drunk any tea for the past two years. Why would I even harm her?" Harvey said with a panicked expression and seemed anxious to defend himself, which gave people the impression that he was hiding something.

"Oh, so that's it." Samuel nodded, then remarked as though he had a sudden realization, "You know that grandma doesn't drink tea anymore, so you're using counterfeit goods to dupe an old woman like her. That eight hundred and eighty thousand bucks probably entered your own pocket."

There was trepidation in Harvey's eyes. He looked as though he had a guilty conscience because Samuel's remarks hit the nail on the head. Indeed, he bought some low-quality tea, but he was certain he would not be found out because his grandmother no longer drank tea anymore. 1

He never expected Samuel to expose his lie when he showed off in front of Samuel and made a joke of Samuel in front of all his relatives! 2

"Everything said by a piece of trash like you is nothing more than a made-up story. What would a person like you know about tea?" Harvey pretended to be calm.

After hearing that sentence, the relatives who were earlier suspicious of Harvey realized that they were nearly fooled by Samuel's words.

How could he-a man who lived off a woman-understand anything about high-end products?

"Samuel, shut your mouth if you don't know a thing. Don't slander Harvey."

"Exactly. Who do you think you are? Pretending to be professional and all. Can you even distinguish what's good and bad?" 1

"You only know the difference between salt and MSG. After all, you're the family cook."

Another roar of laughter soon ensued and it was especially harsh.

Samuel did not justify himself. When he was still in the Hannigan family, he got to know a tea ceremony professional who was also a tea cake collector. No one could rival Samuel's understanding of tea. Anyone else who was unacquainted with it would know nothing, so it was useless to explain it to ignorant individuals.

"What's all this noise?" At that moment, an old voice came, and Grandmother Sue finally appeared.

The crowd of relatives got up one after another with a respectful attitude.

Grandmother Sue had been in control of the family ever since the death of Grandfather Sue. Her position was practically like a Queen, and any matter regarding the Sue family had to go through her. Everything that the Sue family had at that point was all because of the control that Grandmother Sue wielded.

Some people hoped that Grandmother Sue would die a s fast as possible so they could share her absolute power, but she was physically strong. Those who hoped for that to happen might not see their wishes realized in the coming years.

"Grandma, Harvey gave you a cake of aged Pu'er. You can take a look for yourself if it's authentic or not." Yvonne glanced at Samuel, but for some reason she believed Samuel's words. Perhaps deep down, she was also hoping that the lie would be exposed. 1
