***** At this moment, although Ethan was still filled to the bring with fear for Rivers Rodriguez and his two aides, it doesn’t stop him from fabricating hateful lies after returning to the office.Upon hearing them, the Old Matriarch who had been trying all her possible best to keep herself calm and composed all along became furious to the core.“Mister, hope… hope you heard that, have… have you realized we aren’t at fault now?”The Old Matriarch suddenly gazed expectantly at Rivers Rodriguez as if she thought they now has the upper hand, but unfortunately for her, the moment she saw the unchanging expression on Rivers Rodriguez’s face, she became disappointed.‘It looked likes he's hell-bent on helping that family, no matter what!’Sighing dreadfully to herself, the Old Matriarch decided to calm herself down first while convincing herself in her mind. ‘I'm doing this for the betterment of the family.’After a few seconds, she stood up before speaking out.“I would go

‘Did… did mother just give in?’Sally almost couldn’t believe what she heard, but the Old Matriarch doesn’t seem to care.Walking past her, she entered the villa.Seeing this, Rex Magnus only smirked coldly. ‘You should thank your star that you are my wife's and brother's grandmother. I wouldn’t have given you this chance otherwise.’After sighing softly, he also followed behind the Old Matriarch.Suddenly, Rex Magnus' footsteps fettered, then a nervous look that could gain the pitifulness of the most heartless person in the world appeared on his face.With his heart thundering in his chest, Rex Magnus was just about to cry out in alarm and rush toward his wife when suddenly, he saw her secretly winking at him.‘Was… was that made-up?’Rex Magnus almost couldn’t believe it.Secretly, he wiped the beads of sweat that has instantly appeared on his face and once again gazed at his wife fearfully.Just now, he was almost scared to death when he saw the sickly look on his wife's

***** Gazing at Ethan as he continued behaving like he just saw his savior, Rex Magnus and Rivers Rodriguez’s aides couldn’t help but roll their eyes at him. But as for The Old Matriarch, she became utterly emotional after seeing her precious grandson like this and she almost instantly teared up, but she controlled herself well. “It’s okay grandson, I’m back.” After saying this gently to Ethan, The Old Matriarch finally glanced around, then she became confused. Seeing this, one of Rivers Rodriguez’s men who are now seated on the couch which was used by Rivers Rodriguez suddenly stood up, then unlike the bodyguard behavior the two had portrayed when Rivers Rodriguez was there, the man abruptly smiled professionally toward the Old Matriarch. “Madamé Johnson, our boss got a very important call he couldn’t miss, so he ordered us to complete the task.” The moment the Old Matriarch heard this, it was as if a huge boulder was lifted off her shoulder, then she sighed heavily. Althoug

***** Rex Magnus wasn’t shocked nor startled at all when he heard his wife’s sudden question since he was already expecting it.Smiling softly at her, Rex Magnus began gently. “Knowing the sort of person grandmother is, I already arranged this day even before the contract was signed.”“Hun?”Fiona immediately became confused, not understanding what Rex Magnus was talking about. “Before the contract was signed?”“Yes.” Rex Magnus suddenly smiled smugly as if he was showing off to his wife.Poor Rex Magnus, he still doesn’t know he has to explain everything to his wife.Upon hearing Rex Magnus' response, Fiona suddenly felt some butterflies flying in her stomach and she became happy. “So it wasn’t that he doesn’t care.” She sighed softly. “Although he knew he doesn’t have the power and capability to help me with the unachievable task then, he still does everything he could to protect me.”Glancing secretly at her husband’s f

***** Not acting like her usual self, Sally ignored both Rex Magnus and Fiona, treating them as if they didn’t exist.Well, this was exactly the peace that has long been forgotten by Rex Magnus, so it took him a while to adapt to it.Poor Rex Magnus, he even thought something has gone wrong with his mother-in-law, so he secretly checked her health.It was until he was certain that she was fine does he finally become relieved.……Immediately they got home, Fiona went to her bedroom to change her dress while Rex Magnus went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for the entire house.At first, Rex Magnus thought his mother-in-law wouldn’t be interested in the meal he prepared since she was ignoring him, but thankfully, he added hers, because she was the first person to rush toward the dining room immediately after the meal was served.After keeping her silence for a long while, Sally eventually spoke just after everybody finished the
