The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2288

When things became awful, an old but awe-inspiring voice came from behind them.

"What are you doing?"

Undeniably, it was the powerful Austin who also enjoyed the highest status in North City.

Instantly, the onlookers retreated and held their breaths.

They knew how horrifyingly powerful Austin was because he owned military power. It would be very normal if he asked his army to shoot them to death if they fell out with him.

Francine and the others, who were engaged in a fight, stopped too.

"Old Master Baldwin, nice to meet you."

Francine nodded at Austin but didn't let go of Sophia. The scene was tense, but her actions looked amusing.

"Dad, hurry up and catch these two! They're being unreasonable!"

Sophia's pinned hair was messy because Francine kept scratching at it. If she wasn't mentally strong enough, she might have cried. She had imagined endless ways how the Hunt family would make a scene-except for the most primitive way.

Francine made a scene like a three-year-old kid.

Since they didn't act normally, the Baldwin family became clueless as to how to handle it.

Hence, they asked Austin, the patriarch, to handle it.

"Hmph! You're indeed Timothy's descendant ill-mannered. I'm not surprised at all." Austin was calmer than everyone had imagined, and simply grabbed the chance to criticize Timothy.

Both Austin and Timothy found each other an eyesore for their whole life because of the difference in their perceptions, yet they kept competing against each other to gain Maurice's favor.

"Old Master Baldwin, you're very subjective."

Similarly, Alexander bowed to Austin politely and started defending Timothy's reputation.

"My father raised me to be a well-mannered person. He taught me not to do anything against the law, or anything cunning or shameless. I feel that my family always adheres to that."

"Yes! Fighting or bickering isn't anything serious as long as we don't do anything illegal." Francine stepped forward and tried to help Alexander. "At least I won't target the kids under the same circumstance. I'm sure everyone can tell who's more ill-mannered here!"

"So, you're saying that we do illegal things, and that we're cunning and shameless. Plus, we target kids?" Austin interrogated, his tone cold and gloomy.

"I'm sure your family is bound by certain rules. The outsiders will decide if you do anything illegal, or are cunning and shameless. But you did target my grandkids. Do you think that's fine?"

Francine was terrified of Austin and was aware of his violent means, but she couldn't care less since she had made such a scene. At most, the Hunt family could fight the Baldwin family. Then, they would know who was stronger.

Surprisingly, Austin replied calmly, "The kids are only staying with their mother. It's all up to Ren whether they're going to stay or not."
