Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2373
After the call, Hallem's expression darkened. He looked at Sabrina and hissed in a harsh voice, "Did you and Amy provoke Mr. Chen?" "Ah..." She was confused. She did not understand what her grandfather meant for a moment.
"Tell me what happened at the cafe in detail. Don't leave anything out," he demanded in a low voice.
"Grandpa, I..." She looked at her grandfather with a puzzled expression on her face.
He glared at his granddaughter and fumed in a stern voice, "Say it!"
She had never seen her grandfather treating her like this. She was so nervous that tears began to well up in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Hallem's expression and voice softened slightly.
"Sabrina, I'm not blaming you. It's just that this is a very important matterand it may even affect the entire Huo family."
"Thus, don't lie or hide anything from me. Tell me everything."
"The entire Huo family... Is it really that serious?" Sabrina looked at her grandfather in disbelief.
He nodded his head solemnly and said, "I will explain it to you later."
With doubts clouding her mind, she told him the whole story of what happened at the cafe in detail.
After hearing this, Hallem's face turned dark and gloomy. He looked at his granddaughter with rage and helplessness. "Sabrina, you... How could you treat Mr. Chen like that?" "Grandpa, l-1 didn't want to, but, Amy, she..." She explained.
He continued, "Even if that was the case, you shouldn't go along with her! It'll bring disaster to our Huo family!"
"Why didn't you listen to my words?" He was angry and anxious at the same time. He raised his voice and shouted at her, "Get on your knees!"
She was stunned. It had never occurred to her that her grandfather would punish her in such a way and she was totally taken aback.
At this very moment, the other members of the Huo family were alerted by the commotion as well. They quickly hurried over to the loud voices.
A middle-aged couple came in, only to see Sabrina kneeling in front of Hallem with tears streaming down her face. Their expressions shifted immediately.
The woman hurried to Sabrina's side to help her to her feet. "Sabrina, get up."
As for the man, he frowned at Hallem and questioned, "Dad, what are you doing? Sabrina is a young girl. How could you..." "Stop, let her kneel!" Hallem yelled at the middle-aged woman. She stopped in her tracks while the man's expression sank. He walked over to try to help Sabrina up.
However, Hallem bellowed loudly again, "Stop it!"
"Dad, what on earth are you doing? What did Sabrina do to deserve a punishment like this?" This middle-aged man was Armando, Sabrina's father.
Britney, Sabrina's mother, who was standing by the side, also muttered anxiously with tears in her eyes, "Dad, what happened? Let Sabrina up and we'll talk this out!"
Hallem's face darkened. With a cold snort, he said, "Let her up? Did you know that she almost brought a huge disaster to our Huo family?"
"A disaster? Dad, what's going on?"
"Dad, Sabrina has always been a good girl. How could she cause any trouble? There must be some mistake."
"Well, I doubt so! Let her tell you by herself!" Hallwm snorted and glared at her.
Sabrina looked at her parents, and her pretty face was full of tears and grievances. She sobbed and told the story.
After hearing this, Armando frowned but he still looked puzzled. He looked at his father and said, "Dad, even if Sabrina was wrong, you don't have to do this."
On the other side, Britney looked at her daughter sadly and said, "I never agreed to marry Sabrina to Fade. Dad, this was all your idea. Now that he has rejected the proposal, everything will be fine." "You know nothing!" Hallem glared at them and fumed, "Fade is much stronger than you think."
"No matter how strong he is, he's just a martial artist, isn't he?" Britney retorted angrily.
Hallem glared at her and shouted, "You fool! He's much more than an ordinary martial artist. Do you know what level has Fade accomplished? It's very likely that he has reached the Half-Lord Level."
"Half-Lord Level!"
Upon hearing this, even the Huo family, who didn't know any martial arts, could sense how powerful Fade was.
However, Armando still frowned and rebutted, "Dad, I admit that he must be very powerful to be able to reach the Half-Lord Level. However, our family is a centuries-old prestigious family with a profound foundation. It's not a big deal if we want to invite a Half-Lord Level master."
"Why do you have to curry favor with Fade and marry Sabrina off to him?"
Hallem said in a low voice, "What do you know? Our family does have a profound foundation but our relationship is mainly in the political and the business field. We don't have much strength in the martial arts world. Now that more and more warriors have come to the public's attention, their influence is rising."
"If our Huo family doesn't have strong martial artists to back us up, it's only a matter of time before we fall to ruins."
Upon hearing his words, the rest of them couldn't help but fall silent.
After a pause, Armando spoke, "Dad, let's just say that all of this makes sense..."
"Our family indeed requires the support of martial artists but we don't have to cling to Fade! There aren't many powerful martial artists but there's still a few of them. With our family's strength, it's not a problem to recruit one or two powerful martial artists if we want to."
Hallem snorted, "A powerful martial artist? How powerful could he be? Is he as powerful as Fade?"
"You have to know that Fade is not just some ordinary martial artist; he is an expert at the Half- Lord Level. Excluding those who keep their identities as a secret, the only well-known martial artist with that level would be Jaguar Xu."
"As for Fade, he is much younger than Jaguar and he has greater potential."
"Do you really think that we are able to recruit Jaguar to work for us?"
Upon hearing this, Armando couldn't help but be stunned, and he was struck speechless.
Even Sabrina, whose face was full of tears, was surprised at this very moment. She blinked her eyes and gaped at her grandfather with a look of disbelief.
In her impression, Fade was a famous martial artist with great strength. It seemed that many people thought highly of him. Some even said that he was the second best expert in the country after Jaguar. Others also said that he was the first-seeder to be Jaguar's successor.
Sabrina did not take those rumors seriously. She just thought of them as exaggerations.
After all, it was unrealistic for a young man who was less than thirty years old to be comparable to Jaguar.
However, according to her grandfather's words, Fade could really be on par with Jaguar. Even more, his potential might be greater than Jaguar's.
She could not help but feel a little shocked at the news. At the same time, a different emotion slowly emerged from the bottom of her heart.
