Even though Bernard had given his orders clearly, none of the police officers approached. They remained in their respective positions, as if they were waiting for the real order. Of course, this made Bernard unhappy. Would these cops only arrest Tony if the one giving them the order was their commander? It was ridiculous if that was the case! Sweep! Bernard pulled back his robe, taking out the pistol he had hidden under it. He cocked the pistol, then pointed it at Tony. "It's okay if you don't want to arrest him right away. I'll cripple him so he can't escape when your commander arrives," Bernard sneered. Jessica turned and looked at Bernard anxiously. She didn't know Bernard Valmont, but it seemed like he was crazy enough. He could actually shoot Tony in front of these cops. Sometimes people who are too rich can act irrationally and not think about the consequences of what they do. "Tony..." Before Jessica could finish her sentence, Tony suddenly stepped forward, acting
Bernard Valmont was truly shocked to hear what Tony said. He fell silent for a moment, stunned and looking stupid. But then, he thought that Tony was just bluffing him, because when he thought about it again, what Tony said didn't make sense. So he smirked and laughed. “You bastard! You're trying to play me, huh! How dare you! You think I believe your bullshit?” Bernard scoffed. Tony raised one eyebrow, looking at Bernard strangely. He released his grip on Bernard's left shoulder and pushed Bernard's back with his foot. Bernard fell and his forehead briefly touched the dry and slightly hot hospital floor. "Shit! You're a fucking bastard! You fucking crossed the line, you know that?!" Bernard cursed, glaring at Tony with a flushed face. Of course, Tony didn't care. He just smirked slightly at the corner of his lips. He rubbed the soles of his shoes as if he had just stepped on dog poop. Seeing what Tony was doing, Bernard was really furious. Holding his leg that Tony had broke
Jessica parked her car outside the hospital. With a firm and forceful gesture, Jessica asked Tony to get into her car first. Tony did so with a bored face. Jessica got in through the right door and then closed the car door and locked it."Remember, like I said earlier, this will be our last conversation. So, whatever it is you want to talk to me about, I suggest you finish it right now," Tony said.Jessica turned to look at Tony, finding Tony staring straight ahead. He didn't seem interested in listening to anything she was going to say.But Jessica didn't care. She had wanted to discuss this for a long time. This was the best moment she had so far."As you might have guessed, this is about Michelle," Jessica began."The other day I told you that she tried to end her life by throwing herself into the sea, right? Well, she almost succeeded."I say 'almost' because her heart did stop beating for a few moments. Luckily, with my basic medical knowledge, I managed to give her artificial re
"What took you all so long? And why is this trash coming along with you?" The one who said that was Tony's father-in-law, Josh. He's standing in front of the front door of a villa, waiting for his family. They're about to join the birthday party of Grandma Tiffany, the current leader of the Robertson Family. "He just came out of nowhere, Josh. I already asked him to go home, but he said he wants to come to the party!" explained Sasha, curtly. Sasha was Tony's mother-in-law. Just like her husband, she looked down on Tony because he was such a poor guy. "He was already outside the villa when we were about to arrive, Dad. Sis insisted on taking him with us. I disagreed, though. Look at him. His shirt is dirty and he looks like a poor, pathetic guy! He will only make us embarrassed inside!" Now it’s Josephine who spoke. She's Tony's sister-in-law, and she hated Tony more than anyone in this world. "Sorry. I didn't have time to change clothes. I came straight here from the bar
"What?! No, I won't divorce Jade, Grandma! Never!" said Tony in a high tone. He's so shocked to hear that Tiffany asked him to divorce his wife, right now, in front of all the members of the Robertson Family. Tiffany, on the other side, looked at Tony angrily, then she looked back at Josh. "Josh, is your son-in-law always this barbaric?" she quipped. Josh's face turned red again. He really felt humiliated by having a poor, useless man like Tony as his son-in-law. And just now this trash son-in-law made him feel much more humiliated. "Watch your mouth, Tony! How dare you speak in that tone to my mom!" scolded Josh. "But, Dad, Grandma just said—" "Just shut up, Tony! Shut your fucking mouth and get back!" shouted Josh, angrily. Josh didn't want his extended family to look down on him any less. It was the chance for him to show them that he was the one in control of his little family. Unfortunately, it wasn't just Tony that he had to deal with. Jade, his beloved daughter, steppe
People were amazed at what Tony just did. Their eyes widened. It looked like their chins were going to fall off and fall to the floor. "Tony, what are you doing?!" Sasha snapped him. "You bastard! That’s a super expensive necklace!" Josh shouted at him. "You're dead, Tony! You broke the necklace! Now you have to pay for it yourself! Don't involve us!" said Josephine. All eyes were now on Tony. Two million dollars. How could a poor, jobless guy like him pay such compensation to Bobby? “How dare you break it, you bastard! ” Bobby barked. Though he got these jewelries from one of his friends and he actually cost nothing, he couldn't bear Tony be disrespectful to him! "Well, I just did it." Standing straight before Bobby, Tony stared at him back,folding his arms. "Stop pretending, you trash! I know you wouldn’t have such an amount of money to pay me. Even if I give you ten years, it's impossible for a useless man like you to get the money," Bobby added, rolling his eyes a
Tony shook his head. "That's not true, Jade. I didn't pay him even a penny," he answered. "Then who is he? And what was the meaning of your conversation earlier?" Pausing for a moment, Tony answered, "It's quite complicated, Jade. I'll explain it later." He couldn't possibly tell the truth. Besides, would Jade really believe him if he said he was once a respected General in the military? No way! He better keep it hidden for that time. "Your efforts are in vain, Tony. If with your charade just now you hope to forfeit your debt to me, you are mistaken. You still have to pay two million dollars in compensation for the diamond necklace you just damaged!" Bobby said, pointing to his necklace which had been crushed on the floor. Tony looked at Bobby sharply. He really wanted to stuff the mouth of this rancid man who wanted to steal his wife from him. "If I give you two million dollars, will you cancel your ridiculous proposal Jade, Bobby?" Tony asked him. Bobby chuckled. "Did you g
At Josh's core family home. Lunchtime.All family members gathered at the dining table, except Tony.About two hours ago, Tony left to take care of paying the two million dollar compensation f*e that Bobby requested yesterday.“Your husband's brain seems completely damaged, Jade. He thought he could get 2 million dollars out of thin air? It is impossible. Even your father might not be able to get it," said Sasha.Jade didn't respond to her mother's words, just looked down as she continued eating her lunch.In fact, she didn't even understand what Tony was thinking. Before leaving, Tony assured her not to worry, and that he would transfer what Bobby requested according to the agreement.What made Jade confused was that the look in Tony's eyes radiated high confidence, and she knew her husband wasn't joking.But, where would he get the money? Thinking about this made Jade get a headache. The lunch dish that was actually delicious felt bland on her tongue."We'd better start preparing now
