Chapter 24 Taking up the Cudgels for Norah
The pair of metal chopsticks smashed fiercely to the thick wooden table.
The next moment, Shawn got up slowly, pointing his slender finger to Rosalyn and Ingrid, then said
mercilessly with a cold face, "Now, throw these two people out immediately."
"What... what?"
With her lips trembling, Rosalyn couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Today was grandpa's 80th birthday. How could Shawn throw her and her mother out on such an
important occasion?
Also, she didn't expect that it was simply because she had scolded his unremarkable wife. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"What? Ain't I clear enough? Why are you standing there?"
Seeing that James didn't move, Shawn became even more angry, his dark eyes were as cold as ice.
At this time, James finally knew that the young master wasn't just being mad for a while, but was really
angry.
But Rosalyn and Ingrid were after all the members of Lawson family. Although they were from different
generations, they shared the same family name "Lawson".
James hesitated for a while, then looked at Martin.
"Master, the young master..."
Martin looked at James and nodded, "Just do as he said."
Rosalyn and Ingrid had hoped that grandpa would be on their side, they didn't expect even grandpa
would not help them.
Soon, the Lawson family's bodyguards came in.
They stood on two sides, with the stronger one standing beside Ingrid and Rosalyn, "Please come out
with us."
Rosalyn sat still, she blinked and looked to Martin in pathetic.
"Grandpa, although I'm not your granddaughter, I'm still a member of Lawson family. Today is your 80-
year-old birthday. Are you really going to throw me and my mother out on this festive day?"
"My dad has gone for so many years, my mother and I have been supported and relied on each other
for all these years. Are you hardhearted enough to treat us like this?"
Rosalyn was good at angling for sympathy.
But her words indicated the reason why James looked at Martin again after Shawn giving the order.
It has been a few years since Rosalyn's father, Bill, passed away. Since then, she and her mother have
suffered a lot bullying and had a hard time.
If it wasn't for Martin's help, who had been taking care of them as a distant relative of the Lawson
family, they would live a tough life that hard to be imagined.
Martin kindly helped them, treating them as members of Lawson family, but he didn't expect that she
dared to insult his granddaughter-in-law in public. And this was something the he couldn't bear.
"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't laugh at Shawn's wife. Please forgive us!"
"Grandpa, I feel so sorry for my fault."
Rosalyn pretended to have a sincere attitude of admitting her mistake, with tears coming down, which
made Martin almost forgave her.
At this time, Ingrid seized the opportunity. She looked at Susan and grabbed her arm.
"Sister-in-law, although Bill and Marty are not blood brothers but cousins, they are from the same family
and have the same grandpa. You're my sister-in-law, please help us to persuade grandpa."
Over these years, Susan has indeed taken care of them for the sake of Bill and Marty's blood
relationship.
But sometimes, she could hear their arrogant remarks.
However, she didn't blame them if they didn't go too far.
Unexpectedly, it was her indulgence and forgiveness that contributed to their greedy, bullying and vain
personalities.
Susan calmly pulled out her arm, then looked at Ingrid, "You're right, you've called me sister-in-law for
so many years, I shouldn't have sacrificed ties of blood to righteousness, but have you and your mother
ever remembered my kindness? Who was Rosalyn mocking just now?"
"She laughs at Shawn's wife, which means she laughed at Shawn and me."
So far, if Ingrid and Rosalyn could leave obediently, the Lawson family would not embarrass them in
the future.
But the two of them didn't know what's good for themselves. Rosalyn pushed the bodyguard away and
cried so hard, "Grandpa, you can't treat me like this."
"Grandpa..."
The banquet was in full swing, and Rosalyn's cry naturally attracted much attention of the guests.
"Give you three seconds to stop crying."
Seeing Shawn eyes, Rosalyn obediently closed her mouth.
Susan glanced at her and said, "There's something I don't want to tell to save your face, but since
you're shameless, I'll just tell it."
"Norah was pushed into the swimming pool by someone just now, do you know who pushed her?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Rosalyn's face turned pale.
Norah?
She had an impression of this name. She heard that she was an orphan adopted by her grandfather,
and was very favored.
It turned out that it was her sitting next to Grandpa.
"Did you push her?" Shawn looked at Rosalyn, his cold gaze seemed to kill her instantly.
Rosalyn was in panic, before she asked for mercy, Shawn suddenly grabbed her hand and walked to
Norah.
"Apologize to her."
His cold voice threatened Rosalyn.
Rosalyn shuddered, and immediately cried and apologized, "I'm sorry, Norah, it was my fault, I
shouldn't have pushed you."
"All right, I'm fine this time. So be careful next time."
Today was Grandpa's birthday, Norah didn't want to make a big fuss, so she nodded her head and
forgave her.
The next moment, she saw Shawn directly lifted Rosalyn's arm and throw her outside.
Yes, he "throw" her out.
Ingrid Yank was too shamed to beg for any mercy to leave behind Rosalyn.
The banquet was back to normal.
Seeing that Grandpa was in a good mood and wasn't affected by Rosalyn, Norah signed on relief.
She hurriedly peeled a shrimp and put it in Martin's bowl, "Grandpa, this shrimp is very tender, you can
try it."
"Okay."
Martin took a sip and nodded, "Well, it's very tender. Not bad."
After a busy day, Norah could finally go back to her room to rest after dinner.
Norah was a little sleepy, and wanted to take a shower and go to bed earlier. So she took her pajamas
to the bathroom.
Hearing the knock on the door, Shawn opened the door.
"Young Master, Here are your drinks, which were made by Madam. Yours is sober soup, Madam said
that you've drunk a lot during the day, the sober soup will make you feel more comfortable."
Shawn's eyes fell on another transparent glass cup, and Marry immediately explained,
"This is the bird's nest for Mrs. Lawson. It helps soften and rejuvenate her skin, and contributes to her
beauty. Mrs. Lawson will definitely like it."
"Okay, express my thanks to my mom ."
Shawn went to the room with two cups.
Seeing that the temperature of the sober soup was suitable, and he indeed had a headache, so he
drank it without thinking.
After drinking it, Shawn frowned.
Why was this soup so weird ?
It seemed a little different from the usual one, with a bit taste of Chinese medicine.
When Norah came out of the shower, her face was flushed, and her skin looked rejuvenated.
She was surprised to see that Shawn had already taken off his shoes, unbuttoned her tie and two
buttons of his white shirt, sitting on the chair with a ruddy face.
"What happened to you? Are you feeling uncomfortable after drinking?" Norah asked.
Shawn shook his head and said, "I'm hot."
