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
In a rush, Joanna and Jack departed, leaving Ray to tend to the house alone. He diligently cleaned the table, washed the dishes, and proceeded to call Sara While he lounged on the sofa. Regrettably, all he heard were repetitive beeps. After some time, a voice resounded, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy." Ray's mind swarmed with questions: why wasn't she picking up? Why was she ignoring him? Exasperated, he attempted to call her once more, only to hear, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off. Please try again." Ray felt an overwhelming sense of anger and disappointment, on the verge of destroying his phone. How could Sarah Be so cruel to him? For three long years, he had lived with the Peterss, doing every household task and tolerating their belittlement. What was the point of it all? As an individual who could support himself through hard work, Ray could have had a life of independence, dignity, and freedom. Instead, he resided with Sarah 's family, receiving tre
Before long, Ray received Jessica's friend request on the live streaming platform.After he agreed, he got a message from her, who asked for his Line account.He gave it to her and saw a new friend on Line.Not knowing what to say, he was waiting for her to initiate the conversation.It took Jessica longer this time. Five minutes later, she video-called Ray.He picked it up and put it on a mobile phone holder on the table.Jessica, who was in a nurse suit, clenched her heart in surprise at the sight of him."Gosh! I thought you were a bald, middle-aged man. But you're so cool!"Touching his chin, Ray was embarrassed. No one had praised him like this in real life.Seeing him so shy, Jessica went a step further and asked tentatively, "Baby, haven't you done it before? I mean, video calling a single lady and doing adult things."He shook his head and said, "Actually, I haven't."Jessica would have never expected such a charming, rich guy would lavish her with expensive virtual gifts. Mo
After his internal struggle and the painful process of resisting temptation, Ray was tired.He didn't have lunch, sleeping on the sofa and holding the pillow Sarahhad thrown out this morning.When he woke up in hunger, it was already in the evening. Rubbing his chest, he lamented, "If only someone has already made me dinner! Reality is harsh!"Since Joanna and Jack were here, he didn't need to cook. So, he ordered seafood takeout, waiting for the food to be delivered to his doorsteps.He got very hungry during the long wait. Like many people who ordered takeout, he was so impatient that he wanted to rush to the courier and get his food.He checked his order again to see where the courier was and found out desperately that the courier was new to this, and he had lost his way.Ray called the man. But before he could dial his number, he got a call from Sophia.He picked up indignantly and asked, "Why?"She said in a choking voice, "Is Sarahwith you? Her phone was busy. I have something u
