CHAPTER 21
Anne’s brother-in-law Donovan was at his office.After he finished his proceedings at the court, he was talking with some clients. “Why would you stupidly give all your gold to your wife? Now, she ran to her parents’ home and is not willing to come back. How are we supposed to get our gold back when there’s no proof that she’s taken the gold?”“Please do something, sir,” the man and his parents together begged him. “That two pounds of gold was all we had. Please help us.”Donovan sighed. “Fine. I’ll help you if you give me ten percent commission.”“T-Ten percent?”“That’s the base fee any lawyer takes,” Donovan raised his voice. “You want me to take twenty or thirty percent then?”“N-No, sir. Ten percent will do.”“Hmph, I will get your gold back, but you need to make sure to do everything as I say,” Donovan told them, to which they nodded their heads multiple times.He then told his assistant lawyer to write up a petition file by adding a lot of lies, mixed with some truth. For inst

CHAPTER 22
Jake came home just as it got dark.He had the driver carry the bed upstairs and put it in Anne’s room.Anne wasn’t home, but her sister and brother-in-law were there. He tipped the driver 30 dollars extra for helping him with carrying the bed upstairs.He did it right in front of Verna and Donovan so they could see it.After the driver left, Jake said, “A group of thugs came to the place I work at, but they wound up in jail. Another group appeared on my way home, and I sent them fleeing for their lives. So, next time, I hope my enemies send thugs that have spines.”“What are you talking about?” Verna frowned.“If you know, you know,” Jake said and then went upstairs.“What was that all about?” She looked at her husband. “Did you do something?”“Just wanted to scare him a little,” Donovan replied. “Didn’t think he’d be able to scare the gangsters. He’s more dangerous than I thought.”“If gangsters don’t work, then we should rely on the police instead,” Verna opined. “If we frame him w

CHAPTER 23
“You didn’t give him the money for the couch, right?” Verna asked her sister while eating dinner.“Sis, I told you that I don’t have any money to give him,” Anne replied a bit annoyedly. “He bought food yesterday and even filled my car with gas. Today, he bought a couch for himself.”“When you break up with him, don’t let him take that couch away,” Verna said.“H-How can I do that?” Anne shook her head.“You silly girl. He’s staying in this house for free!” Verna sort of glared at her. “If you can’t even use others a little bit, then you will never survive in this world! Do you think I’ll always be there to look after you? You’re going to marry someone and lead life in a different place sometime in the future.”“I know, but…” Anne still felt that she didn’t deserve to take another person’s belonging. It just felt wrong to her, even though the idea of taking that convertible couch was tempting.Verna then said, “Use protection but don’t take contraceptives. They bring nasty side effec

CHAPTER 24
“Jake Goodheart?” Tessa looked at the wanted poster and paused for a second. “What about him?”“You know what I want,” Melvyn replied with a calm composure.“Delma went to such great lengths to find him, Brother,” Tessa said. “Why do you want to mess with her happiness?”“Tessa, I know you don’t want to be just the fifth daughter of Blake family,” Melvyn replied. “If I, the only son of the Blake family, wishes so, your status in the family can rise quickly. You can stand next to Big Sister Trisha.”“But I want my status to grow because of my own credit,” Tessa said. “However, I could use some boost. As long as my help will not hurt Delma, I don’t mind aiding you.”“No, it won’t hurt her. We’ll only be dealing with this bug,” Melvyn put his finger on top of the wanted poster, and it burned into crisp powder without even flames being seen by others.“D-Don’t use your powers in public,” Tessa hissed at him in a low voice.“I’m just mad, that’s all,” Melvyn loosened his tie a little bit.

CHAPTER 25
Tessa was driving home. “That bastard didn’t give me any other name. Was it really Brother Melvyn? Melvyn sent that thug? No, he’s not that clumsy. He’s capable of doing such a cruel thing, but he wouldn’t execute it this poorly. It must be one of my sisters. Those selfish cunts really hate that I, the youngest daughter, get more love and attention from my brother and my parents.“They know that Melvyn would be after Jake Goodheart, so they want to drag me into their mess somehow. If I carelessly make a move, then I will get my hands burnt.“In the worst-case scenario, my brother and sisters are all working together in this. I have to be really careful.”Her four sisters were pretty crafty and influential, so Tessa felt all the more need to be cautious before making a decision on how she should proceed.She nervously bit on her nails. She hadn’t done that in a while.“Whom should I meet first?“Delma or Jake?”She thought about it.“I don’t know what Jake is up to , so I think it’s be

CHAPTER 26
At Hamilton’s mansion.The ten o'clock sun was warmer than usual during this winter.“You’re telling me that forty tons of our gold bullions have magically gone missing during transport,” Elmond was sitting under a gazebo in the garden and was feeding the pigeons while talking to seven male workers standing before him.“I have great respect for truck drivers,” Elmond added, “but only as long as they do their job properly. I trusted your company and gave the transport deal, but you do this to me.”“I-If we wanted to steal from you, sir, we would have done it discreetly, sir,” the head of the travel agency said.Elmond glanced at his chief captain Drake. “How should we reward them for their work?”“W-We don’t need any wages since we couldn’t finish the job,” the head of the agency hurriedly said.“We can give them lots of bullets for making gold worth billions disappear,” Drake voiced his mind aloud.“No, since they like gold so much,” Elmond was calmly staring at those workers who were

CHAPTER 27
The next morning.Anne woke up and suddenly checked her clothes. Everything seemed alright.Jake didn’t seem to have done anything to her last night.She felt disappointed for some reason.“I wish he did something. Anything. How can he not do anything at all? Am I not attractive?”“Mm?” She saw that Jake was in the bathroom.She quickly came to the couch and checked on its quality. “What the… why is it not as cushiony as I thought?”She lay down on the bed and rolled around.“On second thought, this is strangely comfortable,” she thought.Just then, the bathroom door opened.Jake saw her rolling like a cat relaxing in sunlight. “What are you doing?”“N-Nothing,” Anne felt goosebumps all over. “I was just checking the quality of the couch, that’s it.”“Huh, and why would you do that? Are you planning on sleeping on that couch soon?”“Ha-ha, you sure like to joke.”“I like to kiss as well,” Jake said.Anne’s heart fluttered for a second.“Do you want another kiss, babe? Just like the da

CHAPTER 28
Layla was taken to the hospital.After a quick diagnosis, the doctor told them, “Your daughter has a fatty liver.”“W-What?” Donovan and Verna were shocked. “How can a child have a fatty liver?”“It’s a non-alcoholic fatty liver which comes because of a careless diet,” the doctor said. “She must be consuming lots of sugary content like ice creams and juices, right?”Donovan and Verna looked at each other and frowned. They were evidently guilty.“It’s curable, right, Doctor?” Anne nervously asked.“With proper diet and exercise, she can reverse the damage done to the liver,” the doctor replied, “but it takes time, and you shouldn’t push her too much. Just make sure to bring her to the hospital once every month so we can keep track of her condition. It’s going to cost you a few thousand dollars per year, but since you’re both lawyers, you shouldn’t have a problem with money. Just make sure she doesn’t eat anything with sugar in it for a while. Fruits are an exception.”Donovan and Verna

CHAPTER 29
“How could you let her jump around, you bastard!”Their words were harsh.Layla quickly lay down on the bed and went silent. She didn’t have the nerve to talk while her parents were angry.While they both doted on her, they still would put on serious faces at times, which scared her. Maybe, it was because of their lawyer profession, she didn’t like it when they made such serious faces or yelled angrily at others.However, Verna attacked Jake with a vicious slap.Jake caught her hand easily and got up from his seat. “A child dances when she’s in joy. If she’s sick and unable to dance, will she be able to dance?”“What nonsense are you talking about!” Donovan growled. “Why are you even sitting here? We’re going to take care of her, so get out of the room.”“Hmph,” Jake snorted. “Just loving your daughter isn’t enough. If you had raised her right, she wouldn’t have come to this hospital in the first place.”His words were like a slap to their faces. They didn’t want to just take the heat

CHAPTER 30
Jake didn’t go back to Anne’s house.Instead, he went straight to Blake’s salon. He was late, so Carter gave him an earful.“Were you drinking from the money you earned yesterday?” Carter howled. “You’re not going to get paid for two hours of your work today. Go!”Jake didn’t mind it as he was at fault.Jake dealt with two rich clients, and they gave him tips over hundred dollars each, which covered his salary cut.“This job is quite good,” Jake laughed.“Of course, every job is good to those who have the skills,” Tessa entered the room.“Y-You are… Ma’am!” Jake immediately saluted her.“Huh?” Tessa was amused by his reaction. “Why are you saluting? You think we’re in the military?”“You’re the big boss, so I should pay my respects,” Jake said. “Please sit down.” He gestured to her to sit on the couch.However, Tessa sat on the customer’s chair instead.Jake looked puzzled.“Without cutting my hair, make me look prettier,” Tessa said. “You better not make more than five strands fall,
