“Damn it... who opened the window?” Ryan was annoyed when the sunlight hit his face. The man immediately opened his heavy eyes and sat down next to his extension.The man's face was haggard from exhaustion. Not even a minute in, Ryan's hand had already reached for the whisky bottle on the bedside table. He immediately picked it up and gulped it down. Hoping that he would be able to ease his irritation at being woken up by the sun.However, Ryan became even more annoyed as only a drop of alcohol came out of the bottle. He threw the bottle on the bed. The man even hit his head. “Damn it, why is everything so annoying like this?”When Ryan stood up, he was still staggering with dizziness. He had gotten drunk last night. And these few days, he had to make do with about one bottle per day. He could no longer afford more than that using his pocket money.When Ryan was walking, the little toe on his foot accidentally tripped over the end of the cupboard. He felt pain and reflexively lifted h

Rachel narrowed her eyes. She knew that Shawn's relationship with Ryan was not good. Shawn once told her that Ryan and his foster family had a habit of giving Shawn a hard time. Ryan even had a hand in the bullying Shawn received when he was in school.Rachel looked at Ryan coldly. “Why does he owe you money? I heard you were the one who spent Shawn's money.”Ryan glared. He snapped his mouth shut in annoyance at the words coming out of Rachel's mouth. “Spend you say? That guy wasn't even a person back then. If my mom and dad hadn't taken care of him, he would have been a useless person rotting on the streets forever.”From Ryan's speech, Rachel knew that this person had a very short mind. Like someone who lacked education. Arguing with data to someone like this would only make Rachel look stupid.Big-mouthed people like Ryan used more emotion when they wanted something. It's an annoying trait to have to comply. Like a child whining for candy or the latest game console. Then if they d

“Do you call yourself a big brother, Shawn? You're acting like a gangster!” Ryan sputtered a few times, his throat hurting badly after Shawn lifted his collar a few times.Shawn held Ryan's head in his face and pushed him. Ryan fell backwards on the cushioned chair.Ryan felt the push so hard that he couldn't resist. “Hey! You're being rude again! Help me!”Ryan deliberately shouted to get a lot of attention. Not long after, two nightclub bouncers came over.“Sir! You've made a scene. Please leave immediately!”Shawn glanced sharply at the two people. He took out his Charisma skill and showed great dominance. Both of them felt great fear at the sight of Shawn who was actually giving off a terrifying aura.Shawn looked into the eyes of the two guards. “He's bothering my wife and I'm going to warn this boy. If you guys bother me too, I'll have the whole club destroyed tonight.”One of the two guards gulped. He excused himself. “We can't allow that, sir! We'll stop you no matter what!”S

“Blackmailer? Criminal? You better watch your mouth, Shawn! Remember that without us, you'd be dog food on the streets!” John was furious, not accepting what Shawn had said. He glared and pointed at Shawn's face.Lisa immediately grabbed John's shoulders. “John, Shawn is right. Ryan hasn't changed at all.”John turned to his wife. A disappointing sentence he had just heard. “What are you saying, Lisa? Ryan is our biological son. Why are you defending Shawn who did such a terrible thing to Ryan?”Lisa leaned back and looked at John with a frown on her face. From the look on her face, the woman was troubled, but also upset about what Ryan had done. “John, it has nothing to do with me siding with Shawn or not. You've seen Ryan all this time. Since Shawn hasn't contacted us, has Ryan become a useful kid? He still gets drunk every day. Almost every day he asks for money to buy alcohol. Even the money he earns from his meager work goes straight to buying drinks without caring about our fami

“You can't run, Victoria. You have to come with us!” The tall man from before pulled Victoria's hand forcefully.Victoria shook her head. “No way! You guys are crazy!”Victoria pulled her hand away, but the man did not let go. A man of similar size chuckled when he saw Victoria's resistance. “Howard, he's calling us crazy.”Howard looked back. “Shut up, Finn. Take her to the old man immediately.”Howard gripped Victoria's hand harder. The woman felt pain and sighed slightly. Finn clicked his tongue a few times. “Uh, Howard. You're too hard on the goods. This girl is good quality. You can't afford to chafe her.”Victoria swallowed. “Good quality stuff?”Victoria froze. Her eyes could see the grins of the two men. They couldn't stop looking at Victoria's beautiful body. It was very uncomfortable for Victoria to be looked at like that.Howard pulled Victoria's hand so that she came closer. He looked intently at Victoria. “It's in our agreement. If you can't pay the debt, then do it with
