Instead of answering, Aland laughed. Not just by himself, but there were several other voices looks like laughing at Jill's stupidity and their capture by the local police.
Jill growled in annoyance. She swallowed hard with reddened eyes as she felt deeply humiliated. Her gaze trembled, as if she was in the deep of disappointment.Seeing Jill's silence, Arthur immediately leaned in closer. He cleared his throat and tried to get Aland to give Greg the phone as soon as possible."She's also still your mum-in-law, Cobb. Stop laughing at her and just give the phone to Mr Greg! I don't care what you try to do there. Any road, I need your help to get the phone back to the owner. Do you get it, Cobb?"Aland's laughter stopped for a moment. He cleared his throat too and nodded, although from a distance Arthur wouldn't have been able to make out the gesture."Listen to me, Arthur. I'm not anywhere. What do you think you are? I'm at my house. In Dad's room. And out of the

"What did you say? Why didn't you even say this to me before, Arthur? You should have told me from the start! If I had known that, I would never have let you get involved! Now what can we do without Bowen's permission, huh?"Jill's cursing in the prison made Arthur turn around quickly. Both of them were arrested and put in a cell for not talking until the lawyer arrived. Unfortunately, they didn't even get a lawyer, despite calling Gregory at the correct number.Arthur quickly got up with his index finger pointed in front of his face. His laugh was crisp, dismissive, ignoring all the police officers around them and trying to focus on the job at hand."What did you say, mum? I was wrong for never telling you? I was so close to telling you everything when you suddenly told me to shut up because you thought there would be floors and walls that could hear and take it out on Cobb! Don't you remember that, huh? You kept hissing, then saying, enough, Arthur! Don't say anything!

"Where are you going, Aland?" asked Pete bluntly. His fingers tapped on the table as he fidgeted nervously."I just arrived at JF Load, Pete. Today is the first week's lottery announcement. Is something wrong?"There were several newly hired employees working just to broadcast the lottery announcements every week. Not only that, but he prepared a lot of extra accessories to make his online broadcast more watchable.Even so, since this was his first broadcast, Aland was still nervous. Especially after the incident where JF Travel got a lot of customers after he participated in a live session as a guest star showing promo prices for various family holiday destinations."I think they had help from someone, Aland."Aland laughed and nodded slowly. He glanced around as he watched, making sure no one would overhear his conversation."Then let it go, Pete. After all, we don't really want to put them in the prison, right? We just wanna keep them down and deprive them

"T-Ted Bowen? Sorry, but can you say it again?"Aland repeated his same question when he heard the name of Ronald's friend being introduced. He swallowed hard as he stepped into the open lift."Did you hear anything about me, Mr Fischer?"Bowen’s question, which sounded very formal, caused Aland to bow his head softly."I heard you gave US Foods to Arthur, my stepbrother, a few weeks ago. Thank you for your generosity, Mr Bowen."Instead of being flattered by Aland's bow to him, Bowen tapped him on the shoulder repeatedly. He shook his head slowly while clucking as if he was giving a warning."I've been watching you lately, Mr Fischer. And because of that, I'm asking you not to be too nice to new people. Because you never know what the other person is really up to."Instead of being grateful for being given a valuable warning, Aland preferred to express his life principles."I will still try to be a good person, Mr Bowen. If they try to bring me down,

Instead of trembling in fear, Aland laughed and nodded as if he was expecting them. Without hesitation, he sat down at the end of his desk as he waited for them to resume their conversation.Jill looked even angrier. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife, ready to stab at any moment, and she tapped the table with her forefinger repeatedly."What do you really want to show by reporting Lia, Cobb? You want to give her a bad name, huh?"Aland remained silent. He tucked a finger between his other fingers."Bringing a lawyer here wouldn't be a bad idea, mum. But suing me about Lia, that would be very bad for your popularity, mum."Camellia moved away with a sharp glare. Her eyes were narrowed, as if she was demanding an answer to a question she had never asked. She held her forefinger in front of Cobb's face as if she were making an actual threat."No matter how hard you try to make me fall, I won't fall easily, damn Cobb!"Aland paused, then rubbed his nose quickl

"What are fucking you saying? It's not entirely my fault, Lia! You should have told me all your plans! I'm your mum and you're hiding that much money at your dad's tomb? That's not wise and you should have known that from the start!"Lia immediately glanced at her mother and got up from the sofa. Her gaze turned extremely sharp and terrifying."You lost my money and I'm to blame? Are you really that crazy, huh? How could there be no money left at all, mum?!"Jill was not to be outdone. She pushed her daughter's shoulder for daring to yell at her, even blaming her."We all know you are the foolish one! How could you say that when you were at the police station? Before you were arrested, you could have whispered it to me! Only then I could have saved it for our future life, Lia! When you called me, they must have heard your conversation too! Goddamn it! Without I telling you, you should have thought of all the possibilities, my minnie, many idiots!"Suddenly, an an

"Don't damn you see it? This is a credit card with unlimited transactions! How could this card be declined just because I spent no less than two thousand pounds, huh?"Arthur's question made the person behind the counter just look down quietly. After all, it was not his intention to make the credit card Arthur had given her unusable."We apologise, sir. But the card was indeed declined and you know very well I have tried it three times in front of you. There may be a technical glitch going on. So, what about the payment?"Jill, who had been waiting at the table, quickly got up and moved. She approached Arthur, who was busy arguing with a server after dinner."What's wrong, huh?"Arthur was surprised to find Jill there. He swallowed hard before finally telling the truth."They said my card was declined. The police have opened up all access to our finances, haven't they?"Jill chuckled, then looked at Arthur sharply. "You still have another card, don't you?

"Has he gone mad? He even blatantly humiliated us in front of everyone! And you guys just keep quiet? Have you turned your backs on him? This isn't a coincidence! I swear on my life, I'll make them endure all of our suffering as soon as possible!"In the living room of the Reynolds residence, Jill was pacing back and forth in front of the sofa. Even though her eyes looked red and horrible, she couldn't express all her frustration because she was dizzy.Camellia and Arthur's silence made Jill even angrier, and she glared at the two young people in front of her, who were busy resting their heads. "Nothing wanna calm me down now, huh?"Lia, who looked tired, got up from the sofa and gave her mother a sharp look. Her hands were clasped together, as if she was fed up with her mother's words that were never put into action."It's useless if you keep getting angry without telling me where my money is, mum. Because you can't do anything without money."Hearing that, Jill

"You really did?" asked Shannon, bursting into laughter. Her laughter hasn't stopped since Aland started telling his story for the first time.Pete did the same, even as the trio relaxed in the living room. "If you hadn't been there, I think they'd probably be in the news for a big story about how they'd been evicted because they couldn't pay, Aland."Aland nodded slowly and rubbed his chin, which was about to grow fine hair around his jaw. "I wonder why Jill didn't take out her wallet. She still has some credit cards, doesn't she?"Shannon pushed Aland's arm lightly with her forefinger in annoyance. "Mum wouldn't want to take out her money, Aland. She won't want to be at a disadvantage even if she's already enjoyed her food."Aland quickly grabbed the food his wife wanted and fed it to her lovingly. Although he bought the roast chicken dish to fulfil his wife's sudden craving, he also bought Pete the same food to eat."Please enjoy the food, Pete. I had to drive quite a distance to g
