So... the error has been rectified. Thanks for reading and supporting.
(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
***** Sally attempted to persuade her daughter, to call and express gratitude to Alan Bottoms before going to bed. However, Fiona remained unresponsive despite Sally’s persistent efforts. Consequently, Sally reluctantly made up her mind to contact Alan Bottoms herself, which she promptly did.….Inside the Bottoms family's Estate, in a huge bedroom.At this moment, Alan Bottom could be seen standing dumbfounded and stuck in his track with his eyes utterly filled to the brim with disbelief.Not only was he standing stuck, his phone could be seen still held against his ears, which showed that he just finished receiving a call. “How… how… how could that… how could that be possible?” He stuttered to himself unconsciously.“Did that shameless woman just say a representative of the Rodriguez family invited her daughter personally to receive from the projects?”No matter how much Alan Bottoms think about it, he couldn’t find any sense in what he just heard.Alan Bottoms was wel
***** The moment both Sally and Fiona heard Rex Magnus' voice, they stopped for a moment and glanced at him, then abruptly, Sally’s face changed greatly.“You useless bastard.”“Hun!” Rex Magnus' body shivered slightly. ‘Is the good time over already?’He stared speechlessly as Sally began.“Such a useless animal like you who couldn’t afford to buy an ordinary car for my daughter actually dares to call her your wife! What an audacity!” She spat furiously while pointing at the aged car before her.“How could my daughter, as beautiful as she is use this sort of car?! Imagine. Just a ten thousand dollars car, and you’d be shouting your wife around the neighborhood!”‘Oh!!’ Rex Magnus finally realized what was going on, then instantly, he checked his wife's car carefully for the first time and he became embarrassed of himself.‘I must agree with mother-in-law on this. How could the wife of a whole me, the divine General use such a scrap like this? Wouldn’t I become a great
*****“HEY, YOU BASTARD! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?!”Rex Magnus who was just about to open the entrance door couldn’t help but stop on his track, then immediately, a helpless smile surfaced on his face.Turning back slowly, he saw his mother-in-law who has appeared behind him unknowingly.Right now, Sally could be seen standing like an old granny with her two hands on her waist, glaring ferociously at Rex Magnus.“Are you deaf? Where the hell are you going?”She questioned again, but this time, with a lowered voice.Just as Rex Magnus wanted to respond, Sally beat him to it.“We feed you, we cloth you, you don’t have to work, you don’t have to do anything, and now, you think you could just leave any time you want? Do you want me to send you packing already?”Hearing this, Rex Magnus instantly felt nothing as this wasn’t the first time his mother-in-law would be reminding him of how useless he is.“Mother, I realize that some foodstuffs had finished, so I thought to g
***** Rex Magnus instantly became startled after hearing the driver’s words. “So fast?”He couldn’t help but glance out through the window, then he nodded his hand and alighted.“Thank you.” He paid the money before strolling off.As for the driver, he couldn't help but gaze at Rex Magnus' back, then he murmured. “With the clothes on him, he doesn’t even look like someone who could purchase a $5,000 car, and he dared to come to the biggest cars store?” He shakes his head contemptuously. “Isn’t he just someone asking to be bashed?” His eyes followed Rex Magnus’. “You would soon learn that it isn’t good to always seek what you can’t afford to get.”………… Not knowing a thing, Rex Magnus could be seen currently appreciating the enormous building before him.He wasn’t amazed by the building itself, rather, he was only appreciating it.Just as Rex Magnus reached the entrance, he sighted two guards that only glanced contemptuously at him from head to toe before ignorin
