Chapter 360: Blowing Up the Reed Family

At the sanatorium, Muff was helped up from the ground by the staff with great difficulty. Seeing the mess in the room, a surge of anger rushed to his head. He changed his clothes and stormed towards the Reed family. Annabelle was discussing Lily's engagement party with Jasper when she saw Muff return and was taken aback. "Why are you back?" Ever since Muff entered the sanatorium, he had not been involved in any Reed family matters. Except for the time he brought Tina back and got scolded by Logan, he had moved to live with the Reed family for a while before returning to the sanatorium, rarely coming back since then. But today, he suddenly returned with such a terrible expression. She couldn't understand who had angered him.

"If I don't come back, you all will really think you can do whatever you want!" Muff slapped Annabelle across the face in a fit of rage. "Who gave you the right to break off Tina and Jared's engagement? Who gave you that courage? What is Lily that she can be called a daughter of our Reed family?"

Muff's face was livid with anger. "If she behaves herself, she can stay quietly for a lifetime. If not, she should get out and never claim to be part of our Reed family."

Annabelle clutched her face in disbelief. He actually hit her? They had lived together for decades, and although their feelings weren't particularly deep, they had always respected each other. He had never even raised his voice at her before. Today, not only did he yell at her, but he also hit her?

"You... you hit me?" Annabelle stammered, struggling to get the words out.

Muff glanced at her coldly without much expression. "This slap is to remind you that some things are not for you to decide."

He looked at Annabelle with some disdain. Their marriage was arranged; they had always respected each other because he needed a woman to manage the household, not because he loved her deeply. Annabelle had indeed managed everything well, but in major matters, she lacked discretion and often overthought things-like trying to break off Tina and Jared's engagement this time.

Did she really think he didn't know what she was up to? The engagement arranged by his father with the Farrell family was known only to Annabelle, and she knew Logan disapproved of it. She wanted Lily to marry into the Farrell family not for any strong alliance between the two families but out of personal spite.

Annabelle's face showed a trace of discomfort as Muff saw through her thoughts.

Ignoring her, Muff turned to Jasper. "And you, your mother may be ignorant, but are you too? Do you think engagements can be broken off or switched at will?"

Jasper's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Muff with an indifferent expression. "I have my reasons."

"I don't care what your reasons are. Logan doesn't recognize Lily and Jared's engagement, and neither do I. You'd better abandon this idea or don't force me to take action! I'm old and no longer involved in matters, but that doesn't mean I can't handle you."

Jasper remained silent.
