Steve Hart returned to the living room with confidence, the presence of Mark Bridge not bothering him in the slightest, let alone making him fearful.Simultaneously with Steve Hart's appearance, Agatha followed closely behind him. Agatha seemed to be hiding behind Steve Hart, afraid of every person in the living room, not wanting to feel the hateful gazes from them due to her sudden change of decision.Initially, Agatha had agreed to her engagement, pressured by her family to make that decision. Seeing her suddenly change her mind naturally angered every Cattegirn family member present.The Cattegirn family felt betrayed by Agatha, their sole rescuer, if only Agatha hadn't suddenly turned to side with Steve Hart like she was doing now."Agatha, what is the meaning of all this?!""Agatha, didn't you already agree to this engagement?!""Agatha, are you insane to decide to side with him and plan to disrupt your engagement with Mark?!"Each member of the Cattegirn family present asked ang
BAM!Steve Hart's punch landed squarely on Mark's chin, causing Mark to stagger before falling because he wasn't prepared for it."Damn it! How dare you!""Everyone, move to protect Mr. Mark right now!""Stay away from Mr. Mark, hit him if necessary if he keeps trying to resist!"Quite a few people in the living room reacted strongly to Steve Hart's punch. Steve Hart didn't recognize who they were, but he could guess that they had come with Mark."Darn, for someone who dares to try to put your hands on my wife, you're quite the coward," Steve Hart said to Mark.Mark Bridge heard this and immediately ordered them to stop. Mark didn't want them to get involved because it would hurt his pride."Haha, you can go," Mark said, rising from his fall."Mr. Mark, are you okay?""Mr. Mark, why are you stopping us from teaching him a lesson?""Mr. Mark, that scumbag has gone too far, he should at least feel a few broken bones as punishment."The people stopped by Mark seemed dissatisfied; they qu
"Am I late?"A beautiful girl entered as if nothing had happened, casually approaching Steve to join Brandon in standing by Steve Hart's side."I, Helena Halbert, will represent the Halbert family in expressing support for Steve Hart. Whatever happens here, even if it means offending the Bridge family, the Halbert family will do its best to prove its seriousness in support," Helena said loudly so that everyone there could hear her."Helena, what do you mean? Why is the Halbert family doing this? Does that scumbag deserve your support like this?" Mark Bridge asked, not expecting Brandon alone to support Steve Hart, let alone Helena.Mark, who initially believed he could stubbornly make Agatha his fiancée, suddenly doubted whether this was worth it or not.Mark might still have confidence in handling the Lee family easily, but if the Halbert family also intervened, then this was a different story.The Bridge family might be strong and surpass the other two influential families in Avebur
The Cattegirn family, who had lost their weapon to fight against Steve Hart, ultimately had to surrender. They tried to figure out ways to calm Steve Hart's anger, which was now glaring at them so sharply."Darn it, what's happening? Are we going to lose all our assets?""What are you talking about? We wouldn't lose everything if we had just accepted Steve Hart's offer from the beginning. If we did, at least Steve Hart would have kindly let us continue enjoying all those assets.""You're right, we messed up."Almost the entire Cattegirn family agreed that their stubbornness had indeed led to losses. Their refusal to submit to Steve Hart now was leading them to ruin."Uncle Jason, please do something.""That's right, Brother Jason. If necessary, tell Steve Hart that we accept his offer.""I agree, at least that's the only way for us not to end up living as beggars after daring to offend him."All the other members of Cattegirn family began pleading with Jason and Olivia to resolve the
A man in his early twenties stood before two women of the same age, bowing his head. He didn't know why he was summoned there, but he sensed the disdain in the women's gazes."Do you realize your mistake that led us to call you here, trash?" Callista Cattegirn, one of the two women, spoke. The condescending tone in her voice was unmistakable to the man – Steve, sparing him the need to look up to know.Steve Hart tried to recall any mistake he might have made. He was just doing his daily task as a son-in-law, cleaning his wife's wealthy family's house. Nothing else came to mind until he was suddenly summoned to the living room and berated without a clear reason like this."I don't remember making any mistake, Miss Callista," Steve Hart said.Steve's words were met with a scornful look from Callista. She seemed offended that Steve dared to reply."Shut your mouth. My diamond necklace is missing, and you're the most likely person in this house to have taken it!" Callista Cattegirn exclai
The next day, Steve Hart got up from his bed with red eyes.Steve Hart had trouble sleeping, staying awake all night because something called the system kept disturbing his thoughts."System, you said I could seek revenge with your help. Is that true?" asked Steve Hart.Shortly after, a holographic screen containing a direct message appeared.[Correct, Master Hart]"How can it be? How will that work?" asked Steve Hart.[Very soon, Master Hart will find it out]Steve Hart ruffled his hair. All night, he had tried to satisfy his curiosity, but the system always provided similar answers."Enough, I might be late if this continues," said Steve Hart as he left the room.Steve Hart immediately tidied up his wife's family's luxurious home to complete his task. He was a bit rushed as he had to leave for somewhere later.Around 10 a.m., Steve Hart finally finished his work. He had already changed his clothes and freshened up to leave."Where are you off to so early?"Steve Hart turned to see w
Steve Hart was so focused in his phone that he completely missed Callista's shifting expression. Her face had flushed crimson, a surefire indicator of her escalating fury.Some time ago, Steve Hart had loudly called Callista as a 'jerk'. Just now, he also reflexively snapped at her. Of course, the incident succeeded in making Callista explode with rage."You imbecile, what did you just say?!" Callista Categirn exclaimed.Steve Hart gasped, remembering that Callista was a woman who grew up having everything without having to fight for it. That kind of privilege made Callista intolerant of even the smallest affront."What do you think you'll do if I actually harm your mother, you imbecile?! And even if I do, what could you possibly do about it?!" shouted Callista, her emotions reaching a boiling point.Steve Hart was about to retort when Callista abruptly retrieved her phone from her pocket. It seemed she was making a call, summoning someone to come over.Within moments, several nurses
By mid-afternoon, Steve Hart was back at his wife's family home. He ran from the bus stop to get there, making sweat pour down his forehead."Damn, I'm late," Steve muttered.In the front yard of the luxurious house, the car that his in-laws used to use was parked, indicating that they were home now.Steve Hart realized there was no point in regretting. If he had to accept insults, then only trying to be patient was all he could do.Steve had just entered the house when on the living room sofa, there was already a woman in her 40s reading a magazine, a habit that had been passed down to Agatha, his wife.Olivia Cattegirn, a beautiful woman who looked much younger than her real age. The same woman was also Steve's mother-in-law, one of the people responsible for making Steve's life so miserable."I only left home for a few days and guess what?" Olivia Cattegirn asked suddenly.Steve Hart was silent, not wanting to answer because it would only make his mother-in-law even angrier."My us
