Chapter 509: She Always Has Her Ways

The sofa was packed with people, leaving no room for Tina and Jared. Of course, no one was willing to get up. Tina scanned the room and grabbed the butler, "Forgot the lesson I gave you yesterday?" The butler shivered involuntarily; he could never forget last night's torment. He looked towards Grandma Lyon, who was seated in the master seat of the Lyon family.

Grandma Lyon coughed and stood up with Sonia's help, "Tina, are you here today as the head of the Lyon family, or as Jared's fiancée?" Tina smiled slightly, "Is there a difference?" "Of course, if you are here as the head of the Lyon family, you may sit at the head of the table and listen to our discussions today, but you may not interject. Even if you are the head, I am still the one managing the Lyon Group, and you have no right to interfere in my affairs. However, you must also not presume the role of the fiancée; it's against the Lyon family rules!"

Tina responded, "And if I am here as Jared's fiancée?" Grandma Lyon scoffed, "If you are here as Jared's fiancée, you stand here, holding tea, and listen quietly to our reprimands. Everyone here is your elder; you must not be presumptuous!" Tina, pulling Jared along, smiled and sat in the master seat, crossing her legs and looking sideways at Grandma Lyon, "Fortunately, I am both the head of the Lyon family and Jared's fiancée."

Grandma Lyon snorted coldly, "Don't be too greedy. I don't recognize your engagement with Jared, but since you are the head of the Lyon family, I will still give you some respect. If you want to be the head, then you must step back from Jared's life." Jared's eyes narrowed, a chill emanating from him as he was about to speak when Tina suddenly interjected, "Our engagement was arranged by my mother and Grandpa Farrell. What right do you have to deny it?" "You!" Grandma Lyon was infuriated but found no words to retort. Indeed, she was just a grandmother; what right did she have to deny Jared and Tina's engagement? Yet, why should Tina get away with running wild in their house? Tina's eyes lifted slightly, sweeping over everyone slowly and deliberately, "These past few years, I have been learning some unconventional skills. It's fine if you target me, but if you lay a hand on my uncle..."

She laughed, a laugh so radiant yet chilling. Grandma Lyon and the others narrowed their eyes; Tina clearly knew some underhanded tactics. Still, as much as they thought this, no one dared to speak. Without understanding exactly what was going on with Tina, they could not act rashly. The events of yesterday were still fresh, and they truly feared Tina might take action against them.

Tina pointed at the butler, "Go prepare some tea for Mrs. Lyon to hold; this is the rule she just established." Grandma Lyon was startled, "What rule?" Tina raised an eyebrow, a sly sparkle in her eye, "The person standing and replying must hold tea. Serve me a cup, do you object?" So, she had been waiting for this!

Grandma Lyon cursed inwardly, that despicable woman, daring to demand she serve tea, utterly oblivious to her place! "Tina, don't be too excessive!" Grandma Lyon scolded sharply. Tina leaned back lazily in her chair, her gaze lifting indifferently, "Even if you call your family head this way, hmm?" Her even-tempered voice shook Grandma Lyon. She might not regard Tina highly, but she could not disregard the head of the Lyon family.

In a tense atmosphere, the butler brought a cup of tea to Grandma Lyon, "Mrs. Lyon, please hold this."

If they angered the new master of the house, losing limbs was not worth it!

Left with no choice, Grandma Lyon held the tea, biding her time until Jared and Grace's affair solidified, after which she planned to discipline the young hussy!
