The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Because of his young age and because he had always been favored and pampered at home, Zeno had always had a strong desire to prove himself.

However, he used to only show off and prove himself in front of his parents, and he never had the opportunity to show off in front of his grandfather before. He finally decided to seize and take advantage of this opportunity today. He was thinking of discussing and debating his grandfather's idea and proposal with him so that he would have the opportunity to show off his extraordinary talents and wisdom. Zeno never expected that he would make Lord Schulz angry just because of what he had said. 5

He was about to open his mouth to explain himself, but before he could even do so, his father, Stefan, had already stood up. Stefan raised his hands and gave Zeno a few tight slaps across his face, left and right in turns. Stefan slapped his son until the corners of his mouth were filled with blood. Then, he roared in extreme anger, "What is the point of you studying so much when you are not any wiser, anyway? You actually dare to question your grandfather's decision here?!" 5

"I..." Zeno held his face in his hand, and he felt so aggrieved and seriously wronged that he genuinely wished that he could just die here.

He had never been beaten up like this before. He really could not understand why his father, who had always doted on him and spoiled him, would actually slap him so badly just because he had angered his grandfather by saying the wrong thing. 8

Besides that, his father had actually slapped him in front of the entire family.

Meanwhile, Stefan was especially furious and frustrated with this good-for-nothing son of his!

He understood how overbearing the old man could be. Even his elder brother, Sheldon, would not dare to stand up and go against the old man, let alone his young and incompetent son? 3 Even if he wanted to steal the limelight, this was not the way to do it! 2
