CHAPTER 3

Andrew glanced lightly and kicked his leg over, seemingly indifferent to this extremely dangerous scene.

"Crack---"

The sound of bones breaking echoed throughout the room.

"Ah! My leg, my leg"

The leader of the gang fell to his knees, holding his leg in agony and rolling around, his screams echoing.

Andrew took a step to the left and swung a fist, colliding with another thug's fist in mid-air.

The bone-chilling sound of bones shattering rang out again, and the thug slammed into the wall, his body almost folding in half, his head drooping limply, his life hanging in the balance.

Two people were eliminated in an instant. After seeing this scene, the faces of the other thugs were filled with shock. What's going on?

Didn't they say that the son-in-law of the Shalford family was a useless person? How could he be so powerful?

"A bunch of useless people, what use do I have for keeping you? Come on, attack!"

Jackson pointed at Andrew and roared, his voice hoarse.

However, the thugs were frightened and didn't dare to attack Andrew after seeing the two people who had attacked before being disabled.

Are there any more fighters? Come out."

Andrew glanced lightly at Jackson and approached slowly.

Jackson was scared and kept retreating.

He pointed at Andrew, his voice trembling, "You. Andrew, you ignorant fool, do you know what the consequences will be if you offend me? Do you believe that I will stop all the building materials supply from now on?"

"If the company goes bankrupt, Eleanor will have no good ending in the Adams family!"

"Get out, get out!"

Jackson continued to shout.

Andrew stopped in front of him, his gaze icy.

At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, with endless darkness surging from all sides, as if it were about to swallow him up.

Jackson trembled all over, and his shouting stopped abruptly.

If there's a next time, I'll take your life.

Andrew left with Eleanor, leaving the private room.

Jackson was still curled up in the corner, his face turning from blue to purple. He dared not speak, only glaring at Andrew's back with vicious eyes.

Esther had been waiting at the door.

When she saw Eleanor come out of the private room, she immediately went up to her.

When she saw Andrew, she was about to say something, but Eleanor shook her head, indicating that the matter had been resolved.

The two drove home in silence.

As soon as they pushed open the door, Mother-in-law Salomw saw Andrew and Eleanor come in.

She glanced at the slight swelling on Eleanor's arm unexpectedly without getting angry.

"Eleanor, come here."

"Mom, what's wrong?" Eleanor walked over, feeling puzzled.

"Andrew, sit down!"

Andrew frowned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

However, he didn't say anything and sat obediently in the chair.

Just now, I checked it again.

There are indeed less than sixty days left before your father's will expires," Salome said.

But.. it's a bit difficult and too hasty for you two to divorce and find new partners.

"So, Eleanor, I have found a suitable match for you. He will be returning to the country next week, and I can arrange for you two to meet and get to know each other before discussing anything further," said Salome.

"disagree!"

Andrew suddenly spoke up, his tone cold.

He wasn't angry out of jealousy. He knew that even after five years of marriage, there was no love between him and Eleanor.

Therefore, he felt relieved about their divorce in two months.

But what he cared about was his dignity.

If Eleanor was with someone else before their divorce, he would be humiliated and Cuckolded.

This was something no man could tolerate.

"Useless son-in-law! Did l ask for your opinion?"

Salome scolded Andrew when she noticed his attitude.

I'm just informing you, that you have no say in this Andrew clenched his fists.

Although he was used to being insulted by his

Mother-in-law, this was a bottom-line issue that he couldn't let go of.

Just as Andrew was about to speak up again, Eleanor suddenly stood up and walked to Salome.

"Mom, I can't agree to this! If I do, I'm no different from those Women outside!"

"What's wrong with that? You're getting divorced anyway, it's normal to start seeing other people," Salome replied, clearly not expecting Eleanor's strong reaction.

"Do you want to spend the rest of your life with this loser? Being mocked and looked down upon by others all the time? she continued.

Yes, l admit that I look down on him, but even if I'm not going to spend the rest of my life with him, I won't do this before our divorce Eleanor said firmly.

She remembered how Andrew had stood in front of her at the Disco Club, and suddenly felt a little sad.

Since her father brought him home, he had been working hard and never fought back or talked back.

After such a long time, even if he was just a dog. she had some feelings for him.

Moreover, if it weren't for Andrew today, she might have been taken advantage of by Jackson.

"I won't agree to this."

You! You're wrong.

On the seat, Andrew sighed. Until now, he realized that this woman didn't just hate him. At this moment, she was willing to stand up for him, even if it was just sympathy,

"If you're tired and need help, just let me know. Andrew whispered and turned back to his room.

"What ?" Eleanor didn't hear clearly.

"You useless thing! You left before I finished talking? Get back here!"

After Andrew's lesson, Jackson didn't dare to cut corners, and things in Eleanor's company stabilized.

On this night, Andrew was reading in his room.

The door suddenly opened, and Eleanor walked in wearing a purple dress and threw money on Andrew's bed.

"This is your pocket money for this month."

It was thick and amounted to ten thousand.

Andrew glanced at it and said calmly, "Huh! Why don't you still think it's too much money?"

Eleanor originally wanted to thank Andrew, but after seeing his indifferent attitude, she inexplicably became angry.

"My grandfather just finished his treatment and is about to be discharged tomorrow. Our family is planning to visit him. Remember to buy some decent gifts and clothes. Don't embarrass us when we go."

After throwing down these words, Eleanor slammed the door and left.

"Is this woman on fire?" Andrew frowned, Moreover, taking him along didn't seem like Eleanor's usual style,

However, since Eleanor gave him so much money, Andrew would not be vague, He chose the clothes and gifts carefully and went with Eleanor to the top hospital in Mali City.

The sixth floor of the hospital had the most advanced equipment, and each ward was nearly fifty square meters in size.

At this moment, the room was already crowded with people.

When they saw Eleanor and Andrew come in, they all silently turned their heads away.

Look, it's that useless son-in-law "I don't know how Eleanor could have fallen for such a man."

Lower your voice, don't disturb Grandpa. The murmurs around them were very soft, but Salome heard them in her ears and felt uncomfortable.

She glared fiercely at Andrew as if to say that if it weren't for him, they wouldn't be looked down upon by others.

Andrew lowered his head and walked behind Eleanor. He was used to being ignored, and after experiencing the ups and downs of life, he enjoyed this ordinary life.

"Hey, Eleanor, you brought your useless husband here. Aren't you afraid of affecting Grandpa's mood?"

Suddenly, an annoying voice came from beside them.

It was Eleanor's most hated second brother, John, who often bullied her because their grandparents liked him.

"Hello, Uncle, Hello, Second Uncle."

Eleanor pretended not to see him and politely greeted him.

Then she walked to the bedside with her gift and smiled, "Grandpa, this is the gift I brought. I wish you a speedy recovery.

The person lying on the bed was an old man. with white hair and black spots on his face.

He didn't look too good. He nodded and said, "Put it there.

Andrew also followed and presented his prepared gift, saying, "Grandpa, I wish you good health."

Seeing that Eleanor ignored him, John became even more angry.

"Smack!"

The gift that had just been placed on the table was suddenly knocked over, and the whole room fell into an eerie silence.

What are you, and how dare you bring a gift to my grandfather?
