Chapter 1440: Young Master Peary, You’re Too Arrogant

Maxwell Peary?

Mrs. Davis was stunned for a moment, completely unprepared for this man to actually be the famous Young Master Peary of Capital Town.

However, from his actions just now, there was no hint of his identity at all.

People standing at the top should exude immense power and be very aloof.

How could he… how could he act that way towards Nia Mitchell?

It’s a disgrace to his status.

“Mrs. Davis, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, Maxwell Peary, you can ask the head of the Davis Family to talk to me.”

The Davis Family is formidable but lacks outstanding talents among the younger generation.

This generation relies on the marriage alliance between the Davis Family and the Blackwood Family to maintain a sense of awe.

Without the Blackwood Family, the Davis Family’s status will significantly diminish.

Maxwell Peary naturally understood this.

However, what made Maxwell Peary wary was that he couldn’t uncover the true strength of the Davis Family.

But this whole matter could only be considered a minor conflict between the younger generation— essentially just a small quarrel.

It’s unlikely that the Davis Family would casually have the head of their family come to settle such a trivial matter.

“Young Master Peary, aren’t you too arrogant? You’re practically ignoring both our Davis Family and the Blackwood Family.”

Blackwood Family?

Maxwell Peary’s eyes showed a mocking smile.

“Is the Blackwood Family willing to act?”

Maxwell Peary’s question struck Mrs. Davis like a dagger.

Mrs. Davis clenched her fists tightly, feeling utterly insulted.

At this moment, Leon Blackwood came forward holding a piece of paper.

“Leon!”

Mrs. Davis hadn’t had time to say anything before Leon Blackwood displayed the paper he was holding.

“This is the marriage contract from twenty years ago between the Blackwood Family and the Davis Family.”

The decision back then was for the eldest son of the Blackwood Family and the eldest daughter of the Davis Family to become husband and wife.

Leon Blackwood is the eldest son of the Blackwood Family, and Serena Davis is the eldest daughter of the Davis Family, also the only child.

“Now, I announce the annulment of the engagement.”

With that, Leon Blackwood tore apart the marriage contract in front of everyone.

“You can’t do this!”

Mrs. Davis yelled, trying to stop Leon Blackwood, but it was too late.

That paper marriage contract turned into a pile of confetti in an instant.

“Leon Blackwood, how can you unilaterally tear up the marriage contract?”

Mrs. Davis was furious upon seeing this.

This is a humiliation for the Davis Family.

“This marriage contract was established by your grandfather and our grandfather of the Davis Family back then. Are you now prepared to represent the Blackwood Family in breaking ties with us?”

Though Mrs. Davis is a woman, she is after all the wife of the head of the Davis Family and naturally possesses a necessary air of authority.

Once this happened, she immediately sought the best way to respond.

However, standing before her was Leon Blackwood.

“The Blackwood Family does not need a family mistress like this. I believe you know the real worth of your daughter.”

As for Serena Davis, Leon Blackwood didn’t quite dislike her but never liked her either.

Just a woman; with the lights off, they’re all the same.

However, the behavior Serena Davis has displayed now tells him clearly that this person is not suitable for him.

At least, not suitable to be the mistress of the Blackwood Family.

Taking this matter to the family meeting for discussion, ninety percent would surely agree with his view.

Upon hearing Leon Blackwood say this, Mrs. Davis’s face turned bright red with embarrassment, finding herself at a loss.

How could her own mother not know what Serena Davis is like after living together for so many years?
