“Grandfather, how—how can you want someone like that, who probably doesn’t have any idea about treatment, to treat you?” Cassandra asked helplessly, staring at her grandfather in disbelief.

“Moreover, I don’t even think there’s any truth in what he just said—it’s nothing but gibberish that could only be understood by fools like him!” She spat, then glared hatefully and aggressively at the still-composed Xavier.

Just then, however, she heard heavy breathing beside her, compelling her to

  • Chapter 1333 – “I Haven’t Slept A Wink In About Thirty Hours.”

    *****Eventually, both women began to drag their half-asleep husbands upstairs.The two men looked so drowsy that one would think they could collapse midway through walking.But…Unbeknownst to their wives ahead of them, the moment they looked away briefly… David and Williams suddenly turned toward each other simultaneously.Instantly, every trace of sleepiness disappeared from their faces, then…Both secretly raised a thumbs-up toward each other, their eyes gleaming triumphantly.‘This works every time.’The coordination was so smooth and shameless that Xavier and Grace froze completely at the back.The couple stared blankly at the two older men, utterly speechless.Then…“Father!” both Xavier and Grace exclaimed helplessly the moment the four elders left the living room, the couple completely speechless at the synchronized performance they had just witnessed.Then the two turned toward each other at almost the exact same time, and… seeing the same disbelief reflected in

  • Chapter 1332 – “Your Eyes Were Snoring”

    *****Meanwhile, Laura immediately clicked her tongue dramatically.“Your husband still tries,” she argued, rolling her eyes at her husband. “Mine doesn’t even survive up to ten minutes.”David instantly protested. “That’s not true.”“In fact, five minutes,” Laura corrected firmly.“Exaggeration,” David responded bitterly.“Four minutes if there’s emotional background music.”Grace completely lost it and turned away laughing.David stared at his wife like someone whose entire reputation had just been destroyed publicly.“That’s slander,” he muttered weakly.Laura scoffed loudly.“One time, the opening soundtrack had not even ended before this man started tilting sideways.”Susan immediately pointed excitedly.“Yes! Mine too!”The two women instantly entered full discussion mode like investigators finally finding someone who understood their suffering.At first, David and Williams still exchanged mocking glances, each silently celebrating the other’s downfall.But…As

  • Chapter 1331 – The Hilarious Moment

    *****At this moment, Susan stood there staring directly at her husband with a knowing gaze… a gaze that practically screamed;“So you actually can stay awake up to this late?!”Williams instantly smiled awkwardly… the kind husbands develop after years of surviving dangerous conversations.“I…”He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, suddenly having absolutely no idea what to say.Seated beside him, David watched the entire thing unfold and nearly failed to suppress the grin tugging at his lips.‘Didn’t your team just beat mine?’ he thought smugly, his amusement intensifying instantly.A moment ago, Williams had been sitting there puffed up like a victorious coach after the Away team won.But now, the man looked like a criminal awaiting sentencing.David openly enjoyed it. In fact, he enjoyed it far too much.The schadenfreude shining in his eyes was so obvious that Williams immediately noticed and rolled his eyes furiously.‘Heartless traitor,’ his expression practic

  • Chapter 1330 – The Joyous Ambiance IV

    *****At this moment, both David and Williams clutched a beer bottle tightly, their eyes glued to the massive television without blinking.And whenever the opposing side got close to scoring…The two men would immediately tense up before aggressively taking huge gulps from their beers like the alcohol itself could somehow improve defensive tactics on-screen.Watching them, Xavier genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; the situation was too amusing.Especially because, by pure coincidence… or perhaps fate, David supported the Home team passionately while Williams supported the Away team with equal stubbornness.And neither man intended to lose peacefully.The moment Home scored…David immediately slapped his thigh loudly.“Yes! Beautiful!” he shouted excitedly. “Did you see that movement?! This is football!”Williams instantly rolled his eyes.“Movement?” he scoffed. “That defender practically escorted him to the goal like a security guard guiding a VIP.”David near

  • Chapter 1329 – The Joyous Ambiance III

    *****Ever since moving into Villa Number One, although the luxurious mansion had stunned them countless times, there was still one problem they could never fully adapt to.The place was simply too massive, quiet, and empty.At first, the grandeur had felt exciting, but after a while, the enormous halls, spacious living rooms, and endless silence began making the couple feel strangely lonely.Especially during the day.Sometimes, Laura would walk through certain parts of the mansion and subconsciously feel chills because the place was so large that her footsteps alone echoed like she was wandering through a palace museum after closing hours.Even David occasionally felt awkward sitting alone in the gigantic living room.Honestly, if not for Little Lola’s endless energy, constantly shaking the villa like a tiny earthquake in human form, the mansion would have felt even emptier.Thankfully, the little girl was practically a constant source of background noise.One moment, she w

  • Chapter 1328 – The Joyous Ambiance II

    *****Back then, Xavier had still been imprisoned, and as such, every single day for David and Laura had felt suffocating.The couple had dwelt endlessly in poverty, humiliation, and despair.And for nearly five years, they could barely afford even one decent meal a day.But that wasn’t all.Laura constantly endured bullying from street thugs who would rob her of every little amount she painstakingly saved ever now and then, and sometimes, those same people would still beat her afterward for no reason other than cruelty.David’s situation wasn’t any better.At the construction site, he was treated worse than a machine… constantly scolded, humiliated, overworked, and even sometimes beaten.Yet despite all that suffering, the old man still endured silently because he had no choice.Back then, their lives had truly been miserable beyond words.But now, everything had changed completely.They now live inside a luxurious villa grand enough to blind ordinary people, eat whatever
