***** Several hours ago, before Rex Magnus left his wife's workplace, Fiona Johnson returned to her office amidst everybody's ridiculing and contemptuous gazes, which she didn’t see and wouldn’t have cared about had she noticed, because of the greater issue weighing her mind down.After getting to her Office, she began to think nonstop about how to change her new fate of being demoted to an ordinary receptionist, but no matter how much she thinks, she understood well that she definitely wouldn’t be able to achieve her grandmother's task.Well... It wasn’t her fault for giving up without trying because she knew too well how impossible the task is.It’s like an ordinary mortal who wants to go collect something from an immortal that resides in the immortal world, is that even possible? So Fiona doesn’t even bother trying at all.Left with no alternative, she could only call her mother and plead for her to follow her to the family's estate to go apologise to the Matriarch.Bu
*****“STOP IT, MUM! Stop it already, please. You want to call that person, right? Go ahead. Go ahead and call him. You are free to ask for his help on my behalf.”Finished scrambling this, Fiona jumped to her feet and scurried upstairs into her room.Despite her behaving in this way, her mother’s words had taken on a life of their own in her heart. Consequently, she will always unconsciously ponder them henceforth.As for Sally. Seeing her daughter running away, she suddenly opened her mouth to call her back, but no word would leave her mouth, so she ended up sighing deeply after a while.All of a sudden, when she was still mulling things, a deep voice sounded behind her and startled her to the core.“Do you think this thing you’re doing to our daughter is good?”Turning to glance at the speaker, it was a middle-aged man whose head has surprisingly become filled with grey hair and whose face was filled with unkempt hair, standing there and looking like a homeless man.Seeing
***** “You bastard! Where the hell did you go that makes you not prepare dinner?!” This was what Sally used to welcome Rex Magnus the moment she opened the door for him, and when Rex Magnus heard this, his eyes widen. It had completely slipped his mind that if not for being reminded just now, he would have forgotten completely. Well, it wasn’t like it was his fault though, he had been busy trying to help his wife since morning, so forgetting was justifiable. Rex Magnus scratched his head awkwardly and apologized. “Mother-in-law, I'm very sorry. I was too busy today, so I forgot.” Had Rex Magnus known what was coming, he would have rather not talked because the moment he finished apologizing, his mother-in-law began to spit flame. “You Trash, you useless piece of shit that should have been wasted since your mother had you in her stomach! How could you have forgotten your responsibility as the slave of this family, ehn? Tell me.” Rex Magnus instantly felt a great headache coming
*****'Did mother-in-law sleep on the wrong side of the bed?’ Unable to process what was going on, Rex Magnus could only round up his chores hurriedly. Just as he finished, he heard rushed footsteps coming down the staircase, then he instantly scurried out of the kitchen with his wife's launch box in hand. Although he couldn’t understand why she has been rushing to work since yesterday, he wouldn’t ask. “Good morning, wife.” Just as Fiona who was dressed in a black pencil skirt, green shirt, and a pair of office heels heard Rex Magnus, she paused to give him a freezing look, then she ignored him completely. Snatching her launch box from Rex Magnus, she rushed out. “Baby, could you wait for a moment, I have an enormous good news to report to you.” Sally rushed after Fiona, but right now, Rex Magnus has become too confused to notice. “When did I offend this cold girl again?” His brows furrowed. After thinking it over and over again but unable to understand what was going on, R
(Author's note: I'm very sorry about the issue that occurred in the last chapter. It has now been rectified and if you hadn't seen it yet, you can refer to the previous chapter, the real chapter 40 has replaced the repeated chapter and you wouldn't be paying to unlock it again if you've already unlocked it, thank you all for reading.)***** Everybody's heads turned in Fiona's direction when they heard her voice, then instantly, all sorts of expressions began to appear on their faces.Just now, apart from Ethan, some fast thinker had guessed, and although it was just an ordinary guess, they’d rather believe in such than believe that Fiona had a sort of connection she had used to make someone from the Rodriguez family search for her.So, apart from the complicated expressions that appeared on the fast thinkers' faces, enviousness, hatred, and excitement could be seen on the remaining people's faces at this moment.“Cousin, you are here.” Ethan suddenly called out jovially
***** Nobody could think or process anything again.Their hearts started roaring within their chest, and greediness began to surface in the eyes of most people.As for Fiona, it was only extreme bitterness that fills her heart right now.‘I’ve been pushed to the wall, and as it seems, I wouldn’t be able to escape this?’Had she been alone right now, she definitely would have teared up and started crying in misery.‘Could… could I still reject this?’Within the blink of an eye, Fiona's face became completely pale which instantly petrified Rash. ‘Have I said something wrong?’ His heart thundered, then nervously, he asked with a shaky voice. “Madam Johnson, are… are you okay?”When Ethan who’s currently on cloud 99 heard this subconsciously, he immediately became startled and hurriedly glanced at Fiona, then his heart skipped a bit.‘Don’t tell me this whore is going to reject this great gift because she was still hell-bent on rejecting the marriage that would change my
***** Today, it wasn’t only Rex Magnus that doesn’t go anywhere, Sally also stayed at home throughout the day, which was something she only does every once in the blue moon.Rex Magnus was completely taken aback by this development. Since moving into the villa, he could easily count on his fingers the number of times his mother-in-law had stayed indoors from sunrise to sunset without venturing out.Fortunately for him, his mother-in-law doesn’t seem to have his time throughout the day, so Rex Magnus' day had gone so peacefully that he had almost thought something was wrong with his mother-in-law.Never had he thought that what kept him and his mother-in-law indoors all day was because they were both waiting for Fiona's return home so that she could share with them the good news.Like usual every time he has nothing to do, Rex Magnus cultivated nonstop inside his room, as if his life depended on it until it was time for launch which he hurriedly prepared for his mother-in
***** Inside the kitchen, Rex Magnus suddenly became dumbfounded, then after a few seconds, he became confused. ‘Call me?’ ‘Ask for my help?’ ‘When was that?’ …....... “Daughter, what do you mean by those questions?” Sally suddenly glared hysterically at her daughter. “Oh!!! So you mean I should have kept quiet and watched you get demoted, hun?” She questioned exaggeratedly, looking as if she couldn’t believe her daughter. “YES, MOTHER!!! Fiona's voice suddenly raised slightly, startling her mother to the core. “Yes, Mother.” She repeated quietly, her eyes suddenly getting filled with unshed tears. “Do you… do you think brother and grandfather would be happy about this?” The moment Fiona asked this question, Sally emitted thick coldness which almost freeze Fiona's heart. “Oh!!! So this is about your brother and grandfather again, right?” “So you mean I should just continue watching as our lives get ruined, Hun?!” “So... I should have just kept muted as everything your b
