Ray was accustomed to enduring Joanna's abusive behavior and had become indifferent to it, while Sarah felt uneasy. She glanced at him before taking out her keys to open the door. She planned to defend Ray's character to her mother and explain that he wasn't worthless. Not only did he help her avoid participating in the nude run, but he also got her invited to Mr. Garcia's welcome party. Ray was truthful, but no one seemed to believe him.Upon opening the door, Sarah was shocked by what she saw, and Ray was equally taken aback. "Mom, Dad! What's happening?" Sarah exclaimed after entering the living room. She looked at Ray for a moment before he silently closed the door, wondering what Joanna was so angry about.In the doorway, Jack knelt on a rough plank, with his glasses sent flying by Joanna, and his hair in disarray. Sophiawas not in a better situation as she knelt on the ground, with her slender legs stained with dirt. Although she did not appear to be in severe pain like her fath
The following day, Ray awoke to find himself lying on the ground. Blinking, he realized that Sarah had already left the room. After grabbing his phone, he logged into his account and was thrilled to see his bank balance. Overcome with excitement, he even kissed his phone. It was unbelievable - he was now a billionaire. In just two hours, he had earned 160 million. No doubt he was the best trader around, outdoing even the most skilled money-makers.Feeling pretty pleased with himself, Ray was suddenly interrupted by a loud knock on the door. A voice on the other side demanded that he get up and fetch breakfast. Irritated, Ray opened the door and faced Adeline, who shouted, "You're worthless! Go get us some breakfast!"Ray frowned and replied, "Adeline, I'm your brother-in-law. Show some respect, will you?"Sophiawas wearing a hip-high T-shirt that exposed her slender and fair legs. Ray usually found himself curious when she dressed like that, wondering if she was wearing underwear."Do
Upon catching Sarah's stare, Ryan sensed something was amiss. His fears were confirmed when she muttered, "I've never seen such a shameless man before." Ryan's hands trembled violently, causing most of the coffee that Monica had just given him to spill."You asshole!" exclaimed Sarah. This outburst prompted Monica to scowl at Sarah and reprimand her, "How dare you speak to your brother-in-law like that? Apologize to him right now!"Sarah refused to back down, raising her head in defiance. She locked eyes with Monica and argued, "Grandma, I'm not just shooting my mouth off. Ryan and Alicedidn't attend the welcome banquet that Oscorp Corporation hosted. And they've been lying to you about it while taking all the credit for James's downfall. Isn't that shameless? What did I say wrong?"Monica's eyes widened in shock. "What did you just say? Ryan and Alicedidn't go to the welcome banquet?"Without any hesitation, Sarah nodded firmly. "Yes, Grandma. I saw it with my own eyes. Aliceand Ryan
As Tristan and Alicebroached the topic, Monica's expression remained stoic, as though she had anticipated the conversation. "Jack, what's your plan with Joanna? We need to resolve this issue today," she demanded.Monica shifted her gaze towards Jack and Joanna. Jack appeared crestfallen, and after exchanging glances with his wife, he stood up. "Mom, could you grant us a few more days? We're trying to come up with a solution," he pleaded.Monica emitted a deep sigh and retorted, "Sit down. Joanna, you stand up and inform us about your plan. This mess is your doing, yet you've been hiding behind your husband. What have you got to say?"Joanna stood up in silence, her eyes brimming with tears. She whimpered, "I'm sorry, everyone. I was confused and wanted to make some money. I made a grave error and caused a significant loss for our business. I'm deeply sorry."Monica nodded her head and stated, "It takes courage to own up to your actions. What do you plan to do to rectify this?"As tear
Jack was trembling with fear, his mind racing as he lunged towards Tristan, desperate to snatch the phone away from him. "Tristan, wait! The discussion isn't over yet. Please, just put the phone down and think about this for a moment. Put yourself in my shoes."Tristan smirked as he dodged Jack's attack. "I'm not being insensitive, Uncle Jack. Your wife and daughter have gone too far. Joanna stole the money, and Sarah insulted Ryan. They deserve to be punished. They deserve to rot in prison."Despite his anger, Jack forced himself to put on a false smile. "I apologize for their behavior. Sarah and Ray are ignorant, and I'll make sure to discipline them. But please, don't make that phone call."Tristan felt a rush of satisfaction as he watched Jack's family groveling at his feet, begging and crying for mercy. Even Sarah, who had always been at odds with him, was on her knees. But he wasn't satisfied yet. He wanted toWith a menacing stare, Tristan directed his attention to Sarah and de
Despite his efforts to evade them, Joanna and Sophia managed to hold onto Ray tightly. He felt dejected as he watched his in-game character get killed by his opponent wielding a gun. "I know how to help Sarah seal the deal and secure the contract. Let me take the lead. I need to play another round for revenge," he said. Sophia snatched Ray's phone and sneered, "You have a plan? That's bullshit! Lillian told me you used to wear my dad's old clothes. Aren't you ashamed? You're leeching off my sister, and now you're trying to manipulate her?" Ray glared at her and freed himself from her grasp. "Believe it or not, I don't have to explain anything to you. And yes, I chose to wear your father's hand-me-down clothes. Your sister's income is hard-earned, and I wanted to save some money for her. Is there something wrong with that?" Sophia was taken aback. She looked at Ray in disbelief, not knowing what to say. How could a grown man be so shameless? He made it sound as if being "feckless"
Sarah Looked at Ray with disbelief, her expression full of shock and doubt. "Sorry, what did you just say?" she asked, clearly confused. Ray, despite his strong desire, was a virgin and too shy to express his desires. He blushed and spoke in a low voice. "I mean, we've been married for three years now. Shouldn't we...shouldn't we consummate?" Sarah heard him this time, but her face turned gloomy, and Ray could sense that something was wrong. He didn't think he was the one to blame, considering that he had been sleeping on the floor for the past three years and hadn't been able to have sex with his legal wife. He couldn't help but think that if Sarah wasn't so beautiful, he wouldn't have suffered as much. He had struggled to suppress his desires while sleeping next to her. Ray was still grappling with his unease when Sarah 's response hit him like a ton of bricks. "Get off my bed and never come back again!" she yelled. Ray couldn't believe Sarah 's sudden outburst. "Why
Although Sarah appeared delicate, she possessed immense inner strength. Ray deeply regretted his actions and berated himself, muttering, "Why did I hurt her like that? I am so foolish!"In a fit of anger, someone demanded, "You scoundrel! What did you do to Lori? How could you make her cry?"Ray wished to suffer physical punishment to express his grief, but Joanna was an expert ear-puller, and her grip was excruciating. It hurt more than anything Sarah had inflicted.Within a mere three seconds, he found himself begging for mercy."Mom, please, I was just trying to explain the need to adjust our family's population demographics and reduce the average age!""Speak plainly!""I mean, we wanted to give you a grandchild!"Sarah came home late at night, feeling completely exhausted. Ray, her partner, prepared a bowl of egg noodles for her. However, when he brought the noodles to the table, Sarah had already fallen asleep after taking a quick shower. Ray contemplated waking her up to have h
