2024-01-04 11:55:49Slap! Slap! Slap!
Tony slapped Bobby again severely. One more of his teeth fell and rolled on the floor.
Sasha, Josephine, and Jade were stunned, not believing what they had just seen.
Had Tony really gone crazy? Did he even know what he was doing?
“S-sorry. I am… sorry,” said Bobby, weekly. “F-forgive me… p-please…”
Tony froze his hand for a moment. Bobby’s face was now covered in bruises.
“You want me to stop slapping you, hah?” asked Tony.
“Y-yes… f-forgive me… p-please…” Bobby answered.
"Show the proof of the two million dollar transaction to my mother-in-law! Then I will stop slapping you," said Tony.
Bobby nodded weakly.
Nervously, Bobby reached into his trouser pocket to get his cell phone. His hand was shaking. He had difficulty even opening his m-banking app.
Tony waited irritably.
Meanwhile, after being silent for a while because she was shocked by what Tony had done, Sasha walked towards Tony with angry steps.
She clenched his fists, preparing to punch Tony in the back.
“You damn son-in-law! You always get us in trouble, damn it!" Sasha shouted as she aimed her fist at Tony's back.
But Tony quickly turned his body ninety degrees, blocking Sasha's fist and holding it.
“Mom, Bobby will show you the proof of the transfer of the two million dollars. You will know that I wasn't just bragging or saying nonsense," said Tony, looking at Sasha intensely.
Today’s Tony's behavior once again made Sasha speechless. She didn't seem to be facing Tony, his trash son-in-law, but another person with strong authority and charisma.
What really happened to him?
"T-there. T-that's the proof," said Bobby, holding out his cell phone screen to Tony.
Tony took Bobby's cell phone, checked what appeared on the screen, then showed it to Sasha.
“Here, Mom. Now you know who’s the one who won the bet," said Tony.
Tony let go of Sasha's fist so that Sasha could examine the proof of the two million dollar transfer clearly.
Sasha looked at Bobby's cell phone screen with eyebrows that almost met in the middle. Her mouth was wide open and she covered it with his left hand.
“You… you really got the two million dollars? In just three hours?” Sasha asked, looking at Tony in disbelief.
Tony nodded.
“But… where did you get it?” Sasha asked again.
Tony couldn't possibly tell her the truth. That would reveal his true identity. So, whether he liked it or not, he had to tell her a lie.
“I borrowed the money from some of my old friends. Don't worry, Mom, it will be my own debt. You guys don't need to think about it," said Tony.
For the time being, that was the reason he could think of. At least that could also explain why he had to go out for a few hours.
“What's wrong, Mom? What did this trash do this time?”
Josephine asked Sasha. She went down the stairs, heading towards where Sasha was standing.
"Look at this," said Sasha when Josephine was beside her, showing the proof of the transfer of the two million dollars.
“This is… for real?”
Josephine's eyes widened. She also covered her open mouth just like Sasha did earlier.
"So, you’re still saying that I tried to trick you guys?" Tony asked sarcastically, looking at Josephine with a mocking smile.
Josephine snorted in annoyance. She couldn't accept being treated like that by Tony.
She took Bobby's cell phone from Sasha's hand and then walked over to Bobby.
“Bobby, what does this mean? You said earlier that Tony hasn't transferred a penny to your account. Then what the hell is this?" asked Josephine while showing the transfer’s proof to Bobby.
Instead of answering Josephine’s question, Bobby took his cell phone and got into his car. Soon after, he started the engine.
Josephine and Sasha looked at Bobby questioningly. But Bobby didn't care. He was lucky that Tony didn’t make him pass out.
Now he just wanted to go. It’s not safe for him if he's this close to Tony.
Bobby drove his car away. He didn’t even say goodbye to Sasha, Josephine, or Jade.
“Now you guys realize who you should be defending, huh?” Tony quipped, smiling faintly then climbing the stairs, heading towards Jade who was looking at him worriedly.
“Mom, is this true? Is it true that this trash has transferred two million dollars to Bobby's account?" Josephine asked.
Sasha looked at Josephine irritably. Didn't Josephine just see the transfer proof herself?
But Sasha understood the confusion that Josephine was now feeling. She herself actually couldn't believe that his trash son-in-law had managed to collect two million dollars in two hours.
But, the proof of the transfer was irrefutable. No doubt about it.
Ring!
Sasha’s cell phone in her trouser pocket rang. She checked it. An incoming call from Josh.
“What's wrong, Josh?”
“Sasha, I have bad news. Just now Mom called me. She said that Tony won the bet. Tony has sent the proof of the transfer to her."
Sasha froze. One more irrefutable proof of Tony's victory.
She looked up, looking at Tony who seemed to be explaining something to Jade.
'I don't know if it's just me, but Tony today is really different. What does this mean?' she thought.
On the other side, Josh was still saying several other things to her, but Sasha was no longer listening.
…
Meanwhile in Bobby's car...
“Damn! Fuck! Bastard! Motherfucker!” Bobby cursed as he pounded his car dashboard until his palm turned red.
He never felt this humiliated in his life. Tony literally beat him up until he could no longer recognize his own face.
He even had a little difficulty keeping his eyes straight ahead, which was dangerous for someone who’s driving a car.
Tony's arrogant face when he slapped him earlier appeared in his mind. Bobby grinned and growled. He wanted to smash a baseball bat into Tony's face fiercely.
A few hours ago when he got the message from Tony, he was shocked but then tried not to think about it.
Tony might have already transferred the money, but will it make any difference? The answer was no. Bobby would keep pushing Jade and her family to accept his proposal.
But one thing ruined it all. Bobby had never thought that Tony would be that strong and terrifying.
Earlier in front of Jade and her family, Bobby was just like a weak animal and it hurt him badly.
“Damn you, Tony! You've just awakened a sleeping tiger! Now prepare to suffer!” Bobby said.
He took out his cell phone and made a phone call.
“Uncle Don, are you free? I want you to finish off someone. Don’t worry. As long as you kill him, I’ll pay the price!”

What did I do wrong?” Eric protested.When he attacked Tony blindly earlier, he risked his pride as one of the soldiers with the best reputation at the military base.But now he would be punished, and that was announced in front of two junior soldiers and this troublesome civilian?Of course, he wouldn't accept that!"Captain Eric, are you challenging me?"

THE GREAT GENERAL Incident of the First Day of Work
Late in the evening, Tony arrived at Josh's core family's house. Sasha, who happened to be sweeping the front yard, immediately shouted at him. “Where have you been, Tony? You've been wandering outside all day! At least make yourself useful by helping me with the housework!” “Sorry, Mom. I'm in a hurry.” "What did you say?!" Tony's short answer made Sasha annoyed and put her hands on her hips. But Tony ignored her. He rushed into the house. He was indeed in a hurry. Today he would start to work at a bar downtown and he had to fill in his roll call before seven. In a hurry, Tony, who was already in front of his bedroom door, immediately opened the door. He didn't know that Jade was currently inside, wearing only a towel. "Ah!" "Sorry." Tony immediately closed the door.

The Truth
Jade looked into Tony's eyes and smiled. Her chest felt warm. This warmth undoubtedly came from the united support of her husband and his family. She had never felt this happy before."Okay. We'll live here," she said, still smiling.Tony's eyes sparkled, and his smile widened. Jade felt her chest grow even warmer."In that case, let's move in tonight. We'll bring our clothes and belongings from the house. What do you think? Or are you too tired after a full day at work? I can handle it tomorrow. Just give me a list of what needs to be brought," Tony said.Jade shook her head. "Tonight is fine. I'm not too tired. Just a little hungry," she replied."Ah, then let's eat first. I'll cook something for you. Do you two want to join us for dinner, Dad, Josephine?" Tony glanced at his father-in-law and sister-in-law."What are you planning to cook, Tony?" Josephine asked.

Just The Two of Us
Tony led Jade to his apartment. Jade was confused, but when they entered the apartment complex, she was floored, having never been to this notoriously luxurious and upscale apartment complex before. Tony, however, seemed perfectly at ease in the environment.They stopped in front of the entrance to one of the units. Tony took out his access card and opened the door, further bewildering Jade. In her mind, she tried to guess what he was trying to show her.“Come in, Jade,” Tony said.Jade stepped into the apartment, but questioned, “What’s this, Tony?”Tony didn’t rush his answer. He first closed the door and locked it. Then he stretched both of his arms wide and said, “Starting today, we’ll live here. I think it’s the perfect time for us to physically distance ourselves from your family. Besides, Grandma doesn’t consider you her granddaughter anymore, right?”He finished his words with a smile. Jade didn’t smile back. She was still confused, struggling to process her current situat
Thank You, Dad
At the PLS Group headquarters, just after lunch break...Jade had just returned to her office. Before she could even sit down, her phone rang. She frowned when she saw who was calling."Hello, Dad?"[Jade, why didn’t you tell me about something this important?]Jade froze for a moment, unsure what Josh was referring to."About what, Dad?"[About this insane bet between you and your mom.]Jade’s eyes widened slightly. Now she knew where this conversation was headed."Did Grandma call you, Dad?"[She came to the office to discuss it with me. You have no idea how shocked I was when I heard she’s planning to remove your name from the family registry.]Jade went silent again. She tried to imagine the conversation between her father and grandmother. A question popped into her mind: how had her father responded to Grandma’s complaint?[You’re crazy, Jade. You’re crazy for risking something this big. Do you no longer want to be part of the Robertson family, huh?]Jade sighed. Honestly, she wa
Tell Me The Truth, Tony
Two nurses assisted the doctor as he examined Michelle. His face was a mask of bewilderment. He had treated Michelle when she was rushed to the emergency room, and he was certain - based on his medical knowledge - that she should still be in a coma for months, even years. Now, she was awake and seemingly fine. Her heart rate and blood pressure were normal. The only thing amiss was the faint paleness of her complexion.To be sure of Michelle’s condition, he performed the examination three times. The two nurses who were assisting him exchanged glances, just as baffled as the doctor. In fact, everyone in the room was confused, except Tony.Tony stood with his back against the wall, to the right of the doorway. His arms were folded across his chest, and his head was slightly bowed, but his eyes were fixed on the patient's bed.“This is a miracle. The patient has truly overcome the critical phase. I’m not sure exactly what happened while she was in a coma, but she’s basically recovered.
You're Very Demanding, Aren't You?
The next morning, Tony secretly followed Jade to the PLS Group headquarters. Making sure his wife didn’t realize she was being tailed, he pulled into the parking lot reserved for the directors and executives. As soon as he parked, he called Hayley.[Good morning, Mr. Tony. Is there anything I can do for you?]"Hayley, can we talk for a bit? I’m on my way to your office now.”[Of course sir. Is there anything you want me to prepare?]“No, I just want to discuss a few things with you concerning my wife’s first few days at the company. I'll explain the details when I arrive in your office.”[Of course, sir. Understood.]Tony ended the call. He was now standing in front of the automatic doors of the lobby.When the doors opened, the receptionist realized the man about to enter was the company’s owner. She immediately stood up and bowed her head in deference.“I’m going to the CEO’s office. Don’t tell anyone, especially my wife, " Tony said.The receptionist nodded. Tony didn’t n
My Decision Won't Change
Tony and Jade, who were close to the bedroom door, stopped walking and turned their bodies 45 degrees, turning to look at Tiffany with confused faces."What do you mean, Grandma?" Tony asked, raising one eyebrow."I said you can't leave until I tell you my decision," Tiffany replied."What other decision is there? Isn't it clear?"Tony turned his body until he was fully facing Tiffany. Jade did the same as her husband."Starting tomorrow, Jade will be working at PLS Group and holding a strategic position. She proved to you that she can handle your challenge. And she has told you that she rejects your offer and request to help manage your family business. Up to this point, everything should be clear, right?"Tony said it in a slightly raised and arrogant tone. His facial expression and gaze showed that he was quite annoyed.Tiffany glanced at Tony for a moment, then turned her eyes back to Jade and asked, "Are you sure about this decision, Jade? Are you sure you want to rebel like this
I Win The Bet
Tiffany was in her room, sitting in her wheelchair facing the window.The window curtains were pulled back halfway, making sunlight from outside enter her room, some of it hitting her face.It was clear that Tiffany was seriously thinking about something.Knock! Knock!"They are here, Madam," said Catherine, her loyal maid, from outside the room."Bring them in," said Tiffany.The bedroom door was opened and pushed inward, and Catherine entered followed by Jade and then Tony. Slowly, Tiffany turned her head and turned her wheelchair. Catherine quickly approached Tiffany and helped her so that she and her wheelchair were now fully facing Jade.Jade was currently wearing an office suit that made her look stunning in Tiffany's eyes. A knee-length cream-colored skirt, a tight white inner combined with a blazer that was also cream-colored. Jade's glasses, as well as her hair, which was mostly tied in a ponytail at the back, made her look intelligent."Grandma," Jade greeted, nodding.Tiffa
Jade's Mixed Feeling
Jade stepped out of Hayley's office with mixed feelings. On the one hand, she felt a satisfying joy at finding herself now working at a giant company like PLS Group, holding a strategic position. On the other hand, she was worried, this sudden good thing felt like the beginning of bad things that would come to her later.After all, wasn't this illogical? Was she really recruited by Hayley to be the head of a new division at PLS Group that handles web novels? Wasn't she just having a beautiful dream right now?Those feelings and thoughts were still circling her as she descended in the elevator. After the elevator arrived on the ground floor and the door opened, she paused for two seconds before finally stepping out. It felt like part of her consciousness was wandering off somewhere.In the lobby, near the reception desk, Jade saw Tony. Her husband seemed to be waiting for her. Immediately, she quickened her pace, approaching Tony."How was it? Everything good?" Tony asked casually, rai
Something Good
The next day, at Vermaen Hospital..."Are you ready?" Tony asked, having just entered Josephine's hospital room."Just a minute. I'll have a drink first," Jade replied, taking her tumbler from the bedside table and gulping it down."Where are you two going anyway?" Josephine asked; in the patient's bed, she was sitting with her back leaning against the headboard, playing a game on her phone."Watch out, don't drag my daughter into trouble again!" Sasha said sharply.Tony smirked slightly, saying, "You guys can relax. Today, I'm going to take Jade to a good place. Later this afternoon when she sees you again here, you'll hear good news from her directly."Jade had finished drinking and was now closing her tumbler. She glanced at Tony with the corner of her eye. Her face was full of questions."Well, whatever it is, be careful. You know what I mean, Tony?" Josephine said.Tony didn't answer, just raised one eyebrow."Alright, let's go. It's getting late. Don't let us be late," Jade said
