Smith dropped her gently on the bed and reached out to her bag. He shoved his hand inside her bag and brought out her phone from it. He swiped her phone open and dialed Madam Kate's number. She picked at the third ring. "What do you want, huh?""You've aborted that so-called child, right?"Smith's hand shook in fear as he listened to Madam Kate's cold and fierce tone. The phone fell from his floor and landed on the floor. What! Abortion? But why did she abort the pregnancy?He didn't have much time to think about it. He bit his lower lip and picked up the phone from the floor. He swallowed hard and placed the phone on his ears. "This isn't Georgia. This is Smith, her husband," he said. He heard her gasp over the phone. "So what is it? And why is her phone with you?" She asked. Her voice was filled with anger and hatred. "She's in pain. I returned from work and met her lying on the bed. She's losing so much," he said, and she gasped out in shock. "What happened to her? Why didn'
What!Georgia gasped out in shock. She stared at her grandmother who remained a cold and expressionless look on her face. She looked dead serious. But how is that possible? She aborted the baby, right? She snapped out of her thoughts and turned her gaze to her grandmother. She grunted out in pain as she managed to sit up on the bed. Her grandmother watched her expressionlessly and crossed her arms under her chest. "Tell me you're joking, Grandma," she said, and Madam Kate scoffed. "Does it sound like a joke to you, huh? Or do I look like a clown to you?" Her grandmother asked in a cold tone, and my heart skipped in fear. Her grandmother sounded so serious and sincere, and this means only one thing. She meant every single word she'd uttered. But how is that possible?"How do you expect me to believe you, huh? You were there when he injected me, right?" She asked, and her grandmother confirmed it with a short nod. "You have to believe me. I know it's quite strange and surprising b
Smith took a deep breath as he took out his phone from his pocket. He stared at his cracked phone hesitantly contemplating what to do. He ignored the disdainful glare that his mother-in-law threw at him. He made up his mind to send the money to the doctor and put them to shame. He searched throughout his message history until he saw the doctor's account details. He bit her lower lips as he transferred the whole fund to the doctor's account. He swallowed hard as he stared at the debit message on his phone. 0.00 dollars. His bank account was empty. "I have sent the money," he said loudly and stretched his phone to show the receipt the same way Edward did. What! Olivia and Joseph gasped out in shock. They were unable to take their eyes away from the phone. How did that low-life live-in son-in-law get such an amount of money from? Did he steal? These were the question that replayed in her mind as the image of the receipt replayed in her mind. "Oh! I have seen the money. I'll call
By the time Smith got home, he was so tired and weak that he could barely do anything. He looked miserable. Rodriguez couldn't hide the contempt in their eyes when he walked into the house. "Where are you coming from by this time of the day, you miserable live-in son-in-law?" Olivia didn't hide the anger and hatred in her voice as she mocked him. "What do you expect from a wretched son-in-law like you? You must be outside the street begging for food," she said, and the family members present even the domestic staff laughed at him. "I wonder how Lady Georgia ended up with a man like him," "She must be unlucky to have someone like him as a husband." Olivia got angry when she heard these remarks from the family members who came to visit them. This made her determined to separate her daughter from an unwanted person like him. Different rich men have their eyes on Georgia, so she believed if her daughter divorced Smith then a lot of men would come rushing to her. Seeing that he didn'
Smith pinned him to Damien to the floor with an angry look on his face. He punched him repeatedly until his mouth bled. Damien was in a daze at that moment and he couldn't react or fight back. He was caught off guard by Smith's action. He had thought Smith was a weakling that he could prey on but he didn't expect Smith to be that powerful. When the other inmates couldn't stop Smith, they panicked and called out to the officer who was patrolling outside the cell. "Officer. Come and take this maniac out of this place,""Smith!" The officer shouted and rushed toward him. He held Smith firmly from behind and dragged him out of the cell. Smith let out an exasperated sigh as he tried to catch up with his breath. He was frustrated that he couldn't control his anger. He wouldn't have gotten so angry if Damien didn't mention his wife. Even though her family despises him, he doesn't joke with her. He knew that someday she would reciprocate the same feeling that he had for her. "Hey, what's
Smith was surprised and shocked, upon reading the message from Olivia. How did she manage to know that he was released from prison? Did the family clear the debts for him? Did Georgia pay for him? These questions flooded his mind as he stared at his phone with contemplated feelings. He doesn't know what to do. Olivia told him that he shouldn't return to the house. He knew that it couldn't be a member of the Rodriguez family because none of them loved him, they loathed him instead. He was glad that he had finally had his freedom, even though he couldn't return to the house. He clenched his fist with an angry as he stared at the message intensely. He had no idea why Olivia hated him so much. Where would he go to? Where did she expect him to sleep by that time? He asked himself as he tilted his head around. He had to look for somewhere to stay because he knew Olivia would have his head if he returned to the house. However, he strode down the lonely street aimlessly. He didn't have
Young master? Huh? At that moment, everyone was in a daze when a rich man addressed Smith as a master. Smith, as well because the man didn't look familiar to him, and he didn't have any relationship with the man. The man who was dressed in a black suit ignored them and walked closer to Smith. He was wearing a black shade so no one could identify or tell who the man was, but it was easy to tell that he was a powerful person. Dax, who felt insulted, yelled out angrily. "Who the hell are you to interrupt me, huh?" The man simply smiled and dropped the black briefcase on the bar close to Dax. "I'm someone you don't want to mess with," "And why were you guys beating my master?" He asked, and they all turned to Smith in an instant. Why is such a powerful man referring to Smith as master? Is he blind? Can't he tell that Smith was just a live-in son-in-law? These questions flooded their minds but no one dared not speak up. "Master? He offended me so that's why I called my guys to
"What!" A soft gasp parted from Georgia's lips when she heard his cold and familiar voice. It was her husband's voice, Smith. She was shocked. What was he doing in her room? He was supposed to be in prison, right? Different thoughts flooded her mind as Smith stared at her with red-blooded eyes. He looked angry and sad. He was heartbroken. "How could you do this to me, Georgia?" He started as he finally found his voice. She lowered her head to Edward's chest with shame visible on her face. She felt embarrassed and ashamed of herself. Even though she didn't love him, she wasn't supposed to have an affair with another man until they divorced. She didn't respect him or the marriage. However, Edward wasn't bothered by Smith's action. He looked relaxed as he caressed Georgia's naked thighs. "You're back? I thought you were in prison," Her statement touched him, it was as though a ton of bricks hit his heart. Didn't she want him to come? It was clear she didn't want him, and that bro
The old ancestor stopped attending to his wound and turned to Micheal with a shocked expression on his face. “Huh?” He muttered with a confused look on his face and Micheal nodded his head in response. “Are you sure about what you're talking about? You want to follow the cultivation path?” The old ancestor asked. “Yes, old ancestor. I have made up my mind. I want to follow the path you followed to become strong and powerful,” Micheal said affirmatively with his eyes burning with coldness and fury. The old ancestor smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw how determined Micheal was. Micheal had to made up his mind because of everything that happened. Not only was he hated by the members of the Rodriguez family because of Smith but he was also bullied. None of them wanted to be a friend with a betrayer. He made such decisions because he also wanted to make Smith suffer for what he had done to his family in such a way that he wouldn't be able to recover from it. “But
“Who are you, Micheal?” Micheal asked in a cold tone while his body trembled slightly in fear as he glanced at the man who was staring at him with a cold and piercing gaze. It seemed as though the man was prying inside his son and he couldn't do anything about it. Something about that man was strange and mysterious. Not only did his voice travel across every corner of the building without any modern equipment but it also made them tremble in fear. How could a member of the Rodriguez family be so strong and mysterious? This was the question that was on the mind of the members of the Rodriguez family who were present in the estate. They stared at the man in fear. “You don't have to be scared of me. I'm one of you.”“Your family is only a branch of the Rodriguez family and I can be considered as one of your ancestors. I'm called Elder Lin.” The man said in a calm tone as he walked toward them. Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!Everyone gasped out in shock when they heard his statement. Who didn't
Georgia was rushed to the hospital by her family members. Although they were facing different challenges because of her, they were there to support her because her unborn child was the only person that could change their fate. They didn't take Smith's words seriously. Even if he doesn't believe that he was the father of the child, they could convince him to do a DNA test to prove who the father of the child was. “We have to make sure she doesn't die.”“Yes. We can't allow anything to happen to the child inside of her.”“We have to protect her. That's the only way we can reclaim our position in Phoenix City again.”The members of the Rodriguez family were desperate and willing to make sure that the unborn child inside of Georgia survive. If only they knew that fate had something else in store for them. “Where's the doctor?” Micheal asked angrily with a cold look on his face when he realized that his family members weren't willing to listen to him like they do in the past. At that m
As soon as Smith returned home, he met someone he wasn't expecting to see. At least so soon. He saw his father, Mr. Anderson, smiling at him warmly as he stared at him. “Welcome back, son,” his dad said and hugged him warmly.He hugged his father back without any sign of hesitation even though he wondered what was wrong. “You did a great job sir. I wouldn't have believed that you're so decisive if I didn't see it myself,” his father said and he arched his eyebrows. He looked up with a surprised look on his face when he realized what his father was trying to talk about. He shook his head with a sigh. He couldn't help but wonder how his father managed to find out about what happened in the Rodriguez's estate so soon. He was unaware that his father had sent someone there secretly to broadcast everything that happened there to him privately. He was amazed and satisfied with his son's judgment. He didn't expect Smith to be so decisive and ruthless to those who dare to go against him.
Georgia sighed and shuddered inexplicably when she heard his statement. She felt warmth in her heart when she saw how considerate he was about her. A thought crossed her mind as she stared at the young man she used to look down upon until he revealed his identity as the Young Master of the Edward family.“Did he let her go because he knows the identity of the unborn child inside of me? Does he know that he's the father of my unborn child?” She shook her head as the thought crossed her mind. She felt it was almost impossible for him to find out that he was the father of the unborn child inside of her. She didn't bother to tell him now because she felt it was absurd and shameful. Apart from that, there's a chance that he wouldn't believe her. How could he believe her when he couldn't remember having sex with her? That was right. The only thing he had sex with her was when he was drunk so it was normal that he couldn't remember it because she was discreet about everything that happene
Smith smiled coldly as he watched the family members of the Rodriguez family cry sorrowfully after the demise of Madam Kate, who was a mother and grandmother to all of them. He felt half of the burden he had been crying in his heart and mind decreased the moment she fell on the floor lifeless. He has been carrying the hatred and pain for more than five years. His life felt like hell during the five years that he spent in the Rodriguez family. They treated him as trash and relegated him to a post even insignificant before the house maids in the Rodriguez family. No one regarded him despite being the husband of Georgia, who was a good member of the Rodriguez family. He had always hated himself for being weak and helpless before them. He had promised to make them regret their actions in the past even though he didn't believe himself. Who could have believed that after five years his father would find him and bring him back home to enjoy unlimited wealth? Despite the atmosphere that w
Madam Kate gasped out in shock as soon as Smith finished his statement. His statement caused the expression of the members of the Rodriquez family to go grim. They were extremely shocked and shaken by Smith's statement. None of them expected him to be so ruthless and cold-hearted. Although it was within their speculation and expectation, they couldn't help but feel shocked and helpless. Madam Kate, on the other hand, looked at him with a hint of unwillingness and despair. She knew there was nothing she could do. Resisting or fighting back was futile because Smith was determined to make sure that she kills herself. At that moment, she regretted going against him. It was too late to repair the damage that she had done to him in the past. She made him feel less of a human because he was not worthy or up to their standard. Smith remained cold and expressionless faced with the pleas of the members of the Rodriguez family. It was natural for him to be ruthless to the family that dared
Micheal looked up at him hesitantly for a while, unable to find an answer to Smith's question. He was also not expecting Smith's question. He knew it was not necessary for Smith to ask him such a question because he was among those who went against him and looked down upon the Rodriguez family the most in the past. Could Smith not know that he was trying to save himself from the crisis?Madam Kate felt slightly embarrassed that her supposed favorite son-in-law didn't hesitate to leave when the family was faced with such a threat. She didn't blame him either because she knew that their chance of survival was low considering what they've done against him in the past and even recently before his identity as the Young Master of the Edward family was revealed. “Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me that you are shocked by my question,” Smith demanded in a cold tone as he stared at him with a piercing gaze. Micheal swallowed the lump in his throat when he saw the menacing look th
Huh? Smith was quite taken aback by her question. He arched his eyebrows and stared at her with a confused look on his face. He couldn't help but chuckled inwardly when he heard her question. Instead of asking her questions, he redirected the question to her. “Don’t you think that's a ridiculous question, Kate? If you were in my shoes and you were trampled upon in the past, what are you going to do to such people?” He asked in a calm tone. He had a cold smile on his face that made him look sinister and unapproachable. Madam Kate shuddered in fear and swallowed the lump of saliva in her throat when she heard his question. She couldn't dare to refute him. She knew he was saying the truth anyways. If someone has offended her the same way she has offended him, she would make sure that person doesn't go scot-free. But how could she tell him such a thing? It would make no difference than shooting herself in the legs. She kept quiet while trembling in fear as she stared at Smith, who l
