Sabrina scoffed."Do you really think bargaining will make you worth millions?"“That price doesn’t even scratch the surface of my value,” Richard replied with a wink.“But seeing how eager you are, I decide not to make it too difficult for you. I’ll offer a 99.99999999999999999% discount, so it will be just one hundred thousand. How about it?”Richard chuckled inwardly.Sabrina's jaw dropped.She couldn’t believe what she'd just heard.Holy crap!She had never encountered such shamelessness in her entire life.This was the unfortunate consequence of marrying a useless man—a man who would live off her wealth without contributing anything, and still think so high of himself.Her glare deepened, and so did her disdain.But she had no choice. She didn’t want Richard spending the night with her, and her patience had finally worn thin.Stepping forward, she coldly said, "I hate you, and I don’t want you near me. I’ll pay you to sleep elsewhere, so stay away! You better take the money, or y

As she stepped into the sitting room, every pair of eyes turned toward her.It was the absolute worst moment to be in the spotlight.She quickly tucked her bank card behind her back, hoping no one would notice.Grandpa Andrew’s face twisted with displeasure as he glared at Sabrina.“Where have you been? Why didn’t you greet your husband like I told you?”Sabrina’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she wished she could vanish.In a small voice, she mumbled, “I did, Grandpa.”“Yes, Grandpa, she did,” Richard chimed in, trying to back her up.Grandpa Andrew’s expression finally softened.The truth was, Sabrina didn’t care about greeting Richard.All she wanted was to get rid of him.She was willing to give him money, just for the peace of mind, so she wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore.But if her grandfather found out what she really did to Richard, she’d be in big trouble.So, she quickly said, “I was just giving instructions in the kitchen. I’d like Richard to stay for lunch.”

He had his own affairs to handle, which the Lansdownes could only dream of reaching his level.With just a snap of his fingers, he could make their wildest wishes a reality.If he so desired, the wealthiest families in the city could lose everything, their fortunes vanishing and businesses crumbling into bankruptcy.But what good would it do to explain this to a woman as arrogant and narrow-minded as Mrs. Lansdowne?Still, Mrs. Lansdowne snorted, her displeasure written clearly across her face.In her eyes, Richard was not only an incompetent son-in-law, but he also couldn't help Sabrina in the slightest.And yet, he had the audacity to speak freely while depending entirely on their daughter.She wished Carter had made his proposal sooner; perhaps their daughter wouldn't have married this worthless man.‘No, she has to make it happen. Sabrina must divorce him and marry Carter—that will be her life’s purpose,’ Sabrina’s mother thought.She knew that Grandmother Lansdowne would help con

"I don’t care whether you want to help me or not. Just stay out of my way," Sabrina snapped.Richard shook his head.Her understanding was as dull as a butter knife, and her parents were much worse.There was little hope she would realize the truth any time soon.Richard felt no obligation to reveal his true self to her, as their relationship had been doomed from the start.He was simply playing his role, finding his mother and sticking with her family."You're blind to the good people standing right in front of you," Richard said, shaking his head."The truth will come out eventually, and when it does, you'll regret your sayings."Sabrina let out a bitter laugh, staring at him as if he had lost his mind.Maybe he had.That would explain his ridiculous confidence."Regret my sayings? In your dreams." she sneered."You're in no position to give me advice.""Fine. Suit yourself," Richard replied with a shrug.Sabrina was amused.Did he really think he could intimidate her by inflating h

Richard chuckled.That was enough.With a chilling smile, he replied, "Did you really think I refused Grandpa Andrew’s request all because of your silly threats?""Isn’t that why?"Mr. Lansdowne shot back, his voice dripping with contempt.Richard’s cold chuckle echoed in the room."I expected more wisdom from someone your age. Clearly, I overestimated you."Mr. Lansdowne was on the verge of exploding with rage."Are you trying to insult me?"Richard sneered.The answer was obvious."You know what? Sabrina gave me $100 million as compensation."Mischievously, Richard deliberately exaggerated the amount by 1,000 times.With that, Richard pulled out the bank card and waved it in front of them.What the fuck?!$100 million?!As compensation?!As Richard had expected, Mr. and Mrs. Lansdowne nearly choked.Mr. Lansdowne’s face turned a furious shade of red, steam practically erupting from his nostrils.The veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes widened to the point they looked ready to

Jasper turned, his demeanor instantly shifting as he sized up Richard.Puffing out his chest like a blowfish, his fists clenched, and his eyes narrowed with hostility."So, you're the one extorting and harassing my sister, huh?"Jasper sneered."Let me warn you: a pathetic man like you had better stay away from her. Keep pestering her, and you’ll be digging your own grave."Richard snorted, amused."Don't you have any manners, kid? If you did, you'd greet me properly as your brother-in-law."Jasper’s face darkened instantly."Brother-in-law?!" he growled."Who do you think you are, you ignorant fool? Do you even deserve it? My family should've hired you as a servant instead!"Richard chuckled."You're as foolish as you look."Jasper’s temper flared, his fists shaking with rage."Hand over the card, you thief! Or…!"Richard folded his arms, his calm demeanor only fueling Jasper's frustration."Or what?" he asked, amusement dancing in his eyes.Jasper’s audacity was almost entertaining

"Jasper, have you forgotten what you promised me? Or do you think I was joking?”Talon sneered, dragging a dining chair across the floor.He sat down arrogantly, throwing his legs on the table without a care, the tableware clattering loudly.Jasper swallowed hard, fear mounting with every second.Grandpa Andrew, though not one for socializing, had heard of Talon’s notorious reputation—the man who could commit murder without ever being jailed.His face turned pale as he cleared his throat.“Sir Talon, please, had my grandson done anything that offended you?”Talon’s sneer deepened, his expression darkening.“Jasper owes me $1 billion, and he still hasn’t paid.”What?!One billion dollars?!“That’s impossible!”Grandpa Andrew’s eyes widened from the sheer disbelief.Even the entire Lansdowne family wasn’t worth that much.The rest of the family exchanged terrified glances.“Impossible? Haha! Don’t you know what kind of rubbish your grandson is?”Talon laughed fiercely, as he found the w

“Grandpa, you shouldn’t get so worked up over something so small. It’s bad for your health.”“Small... small matter?”Grandpa Andrew stammered, his voice subdued, as if he had swallowed the bitterest of pills.“How can you—”Suddenly, he gasped, clutching his chest.“Ahhh!”His heart raced uncontrollably, his blood pressure spiking from sheer rage, and dizziness overwhelmed him.Grandpa Andrew lost his balance and collapsed.“Grandpa!”Sabrina and the others cried in shock, their voices trembling.But before he hit the ground, Richard swiftly intervened, catching him just in time.Grandpa Andrew was an old man, unable to withstand the awful news of his grandson’s betrayal, especially given Jasper’s blatant indifference.Gently, Richard laid him down on the sofa."What are we going to do?"Mrs. Lansdowne cried, her voice cracking with desperation as panic swept through the room.Even Jasper, who had finally grasped the gravity of the situation, was starting to buckle under the pressure
