*****“That’s right, Old Woman, it is us two brothers that taught him a lesson, and if not for master that stopped us, I wouldn’t have minded turning him into a waste to teach him a lesson he would never forget for the rest of his life just for the fact that he dared to be rude to our master like that!”The Old Matriarch became dumbfounded when she heard this, and followed by this was a great awkwardness which also immediately disappeared the moment it arrived.Just like in a fast-track movie, all sorts of expressions began to flick on the Old Matriarch's face.At last, a tinge of anger coupled with hatred, helplessness, worry, and tiredness remained on the Old Matriarch's face.After staring at Rivers Rodriguez for a while, the Old Matriarch eventually turns back to stare at her precious grandson with the most caring gaze ever.“Grand… grandma, I’m… I’m so scared!”Like a little kid who had been scared by ghosts, Ethan suddenly embarrassed his grandmother tightly, his face fil
***** Subconsciously, Fiona hurriedly glanced at Rex Magnus, hoping deeply within her heart that he would have something to say, but the instant she saw the playful look on his face, her heart became cold.‘Is this what he wants?’‘Was he already tired of me?’‘Was that why he signed the divorce letter yesterday and suggested it again today?’The more Fiona thinks, the colder her heart became and the paler her face turned.All of a sudden, she shut her eyes tightly for a few seconds, then the moment she flicked them open again, all the previous coldness and emotions in them couldn’t be seen anymore.What replaced them was a complete blankness.Seeing this sudden change, Rex Magnus became dumbfounded again.‘Why does it seem the rate at which my wife's emotion and expression change is more than the beating of a heart?’He could only sigh helplessly in his heart and turn to gaze at his mother-in-law whose look contradicted that of Rex Magnus by several folds at this mo
***** While Rex Magnus was busily thinking in his mind, Fiona who understood what her mother was uttering could be seen looking completely brokenhearted right now with a dreadful smile on her face.‘Back then, I was married to him by my brother and grandfather without my consent. Now again, my mother and grandmother wished to marry me to another person without caring about my thought and opinion.’Fiona couldn’t help but suddenly gaze at Rex Magnus with accusation painting in her eyes heavily.‘He caused all these!’“Three seconds to go!”Sally’s voice suddenly woke Rex Magnus and Fiona up.But before they could react, Sally's voice already sounded again, with greater excitement. “One second left!”Fiona and Rex Magnus instantly became deeply scared. But just as Sally was about to call out; ‘time up', a tune began to play, startling the trio to their core.But still, Sally managed to say it after one second.With that, a relieved and excited look appeared on her fac
*****“Sorry grandmother, my wife is sick right now and wouldn’t be able to come.”The instant the Old Matriarch heard this, she knew who owns the voice.At first, she became flabbergasted to the extent that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, then she became overwhelmed with excessive furiousness.‘Did that bastard just tell me that that wench wouldn’t be able to respond to my call?’Just as the Old Matriarch was being thunderstruck, she heard a sound that sent her heart into a stupor state.Without knowing what to think, she checked the screen of her phone, then immediately, she became thunderstruck.“Did… did that… that bastard just hung the phone on me?” She muttered to herself unbelievably.It took about ten minutes later before The Old Matriarch eventually returned to her senses, and when she finally does, she felt as if she would die from anger, her brain forgetting to recall that Rex Magnus was still supposed to be locked in jail.……Back at Fiona's Villa.
***** Hearing his wife’s question, David didn’t respond nor show any intention of doing so.Of cause, he was smart, so he already had a strong feeling that his daughter and her husband already has a tacit understanding between themselves.Also, seeing how his daughter was acting, the haunch became stronger, so David decided to say nothing.As for Fiona, she simply doesn’t know what to tell her mother, so she could only give Rex Magnus a helpless gaze.Seeing this, Rex Magnus immediately became speechless.‘Look at her, although she was clearly asking for help, the look in her eyes is still as cold as ever.’After thinking this, Rex Magnus gazed back at his mother-in-law.“Mother, I really meant what I said.”“You…”Seeing as his mother-in-law is about to start flaming up again, Rex Magnus immediately interjected. “Mother, I actually didn’t lose the wager we just had.”The instant Sally heard this, the look on her face changed, suddenly becoming contemptuous and fil
*****“Good… good day Aunty.”Although Ethan's face was still pale, it is now more vibrant than how it had been before he left the company.Despite the smile not reaching his eyes at all, Ethan still tried his best to smile, but Sally doesn’t notice.Right now, she was just too stunned to react.It was as if she was dreaming.Although Sally still doesn’t quite believe in Rex Magnus' claim, she knew that for Ethan who is like the Old Matriarch's representative to come to them, nothing is simple at all.Back inside.While Sally was currently dumbfounded, Fiona could be seen gazing at her husband with a bright light shining in her eyes right now.‘Was this a coincidence?’ She thought, but the more she saw the blank and almost irritating look on Rex Magnus' face, the more her mind told her that Rex Magnus has something to do with Ethan's visit.‘But how could this be possible?’Of cause, Fiona thought she knew her husband's capability because they’d been living together for mor
*****“I said my wife can’t follow you, she is currently sick.”The instant Ethan heard Rex Magnus repeat what he just said, he became stomped.Subconsciously, he gazed at Fiona, but the instant he saw the look on her face, his eyes widen for a few seconds.“Nonsense!!” Ethan abruptly bellowed furiously, his voice loud enough that it forcefully woke Sally up from her stupor state.“What shit are you spouting from your f*cking mouth? Who are you useless piece of shit to tell me such a goddamned obvious lie!”All the feelings Ethan has been hiding since he got there immediately drilled out of him with full force, spreading across the entire living room.“Hehehe, I see that you people have taken the main family as a joke!”He continued ferociously, making Sally who just returned to her senses and was currently trying to comprehend things instantly understand forcefully.Sally.The instant she understood what just occurred, her body trembled intensely.Then filled to the brim w
***** At this moment, although Ethan was still filled to the bring with fear for Rivers Rodriguez and his two aides, it doesn’t stop him from fabricating hateful lies after returning to the office.Upon hearing them, the Old Matriarch who had been trying all her possible best to keep herself calm and composed all along became furious to the core.“Mister, hope… hope you heard that, have… have you realized we aren’t at fault now?”The Old Matriarch suddenly gazed expectantly at Rivers Rodriguez as if she thought they now has the upper hand, but unfortunately for her, the moment she saw the unchanging expression on Rivers Rodriguez’s face, she became disappointed.‘It looked likes he's hell-bent on helping that family, no matter what!’Sighing dreadfully to herself, the Old Matriarch decided to calm herself down first while convincing herself in her mind. ‘I'm doing this for the betterment of the family.’After a few seconds, she stood up before speaking out.“I would go
