‘Did… did mother just give in?’Sally almost couldn’t believe what she heard, but the Old Matriarch doesn’t seem to care.Walking past her, she entered the villa.Seeing this, Rex Magnus only smirked coldly. ‘You should thank your star that you are my wife's and brother's grandmother. I wouldn’t have given you this chance otherwise.’After sighing softly, he also followed behind the Old Matriarch.Suddenly, Rex Magnus' footsteps fettered, then a nervous look that could gain the pitifulness of the most heartless person in the world appeared on his face.With his heart thundering in his chest, Rex Magnus was just about to cry out in alarm and rush toward his wife when suddenly, he saw her secretly winking at him.‘Was… was that made-up?’Rex Magnus almost couldn’t believe it.Secretly, he wiped the beads of sweat that has instantly appeared on his face and once again gazed at his wife fearfully.Just now, he was almost scared to death when he saw the sickly look on his wife's
*****“Please come back from wherever you are, I… I don’t think I would be able to live for long if I still don’t know your current situation.”An utterly beautiful woman inside a gigantic bedroom continued wailing painfully at a picture in her hand, and the more she stuttered, the more her tears became.Just at this moment, a dignified voice filled with helplessness suddenly sounded.“Wife, till when would you do this?” But as if she didn’t hear, the woman continued crying and whimpering.Seeing this, the man that just spoke, a handsome looking man, whose appearance alone could capture the hearts of maidens and goddesses.Comparing this man's face to that of the person in the picture, nobody would need to be told that they are father and son.This man is Rex Magnus' father, the current Patriarch of the Magnus family.Apart from his handsomeness that could blind people, flowing within and around him was an enormous aura of majestic that couldn’t be feigned.Gazing at his wi
***** Gazing at Ethan as he continued behaving like he just saw his savior, Rex Magnus and Rivers Rodriguez’s aides couldn’t help but roll their eyes at him. But as for The Old Matriarch, she became utterly emotional after seeing her precious grandson like this and she almost instantly teared up, but she controlled herself well. “It’s okay grandson, I’m back.” After saying this gently to Ethan, The Old Matriarch finally glanced around, then she became confused. Seeing this, one of Rivers Rodriguez’s men who are now seated on the couch which was used by Rivers Rodriguez suddenly stood up, then unlike the bodyguard behavior the two had portrayed when Rivers Rodriguez was there, the man abruptly smiled professionally toward the Old Matriarch. “Madamé Johnson, our boss got a very important call he couldn’t miss, so he ordered us to complete the task.” The moment the Old Matriarch heard this, it was as if a huge boulder was lifted off her shoulder, then she sighed heavily. Althoug
***** Fiona's mind continued to think all sorts of things, but scared of disturbing her thoughts, the two aides kept quiet, all through. As for the Old Matriarch, if gaze alone could kill right now, Fiona would have already been butchered more than a thousand times since she arrived. Apart from giving Fiona a murderous look, the Old Matriarch’s gazes also contained strong warnings and threats. It was as if she was trying to convene Fiona that she must reject everything offered to her, but unfortunately for her, Fiona was too shocked right now to notice her gazes at all. As for Ethan, his mouth was utterly completely dried right now, and his face has already become ghostly-paled. ‘Noooo I don’t want to accept this! I can’t accept this! Nooooo' He kept howling and crying in his mind, but unfortunately for him, he doesn’t dare to make his thoughts known outside. It is only those that glance at him right now would understand his feeling. Ethan’s fists were tightly clenched and h
***** Rex Magnus wasn’t shocked nor startled at all when he heard his wife’s sudden question since he was already expecting it.Smiling softly at her, Rex Magnus began gently. “Knowing the sort of person grandmother is, I already arranged this day even before the contract was signed.”“Hun?”Fiona immediately became confused, not understanding what Rex Magnus was talking about. “Before the contract was signed?”“Yes.” Rex Magnus suddenly smiled smugly as if he was showing off to his wife.Poor Rex Magnus, he still doesn’t know he has to explain everything to his wife.Upon hearing Rex Magnus' response, Fiona suddenly felt some butterflies flying in her stomach and she became happy. “So it wasn’t that he doesn’t care.” She sighed softly. “Although he knew he doesn’t have the power and capability to help me with the unachievable task then, he still does everything he could to protect me.”Glancing secretly at her husband’s f
*****“Would mother hurt my daughter?”Sally asked the space before her again for the umpteenth time today.“I shouldn’t have allowed that useless and worthless piece of shit to follow her. I should have done that myself so that I would be able to protect my daughter well.”Sally suddenly doesn’t know what to do anymore.She had been like this since Fiona and Rex Magnus followed the Old Matriarch.Just as Sally was busily blaming herself and pacing about, her face became further furrowed. “What if Grandmother really does something untoward to my daughter, what would do?”The moment she thought this, her body shivered all over.“No! I can’t just watch quietly and do nothing, right?”The moment she made up her mind, Sally’s eyes regained focus, then instantly, she scurried up the staircase and banged the bedroom door open, startling her husband.But the moment David whose eyes were initially closed saw who it was, she once again closed
***** Not acting like her usual self, Sally ignored both Rex Magnus and Fiona, treating them as if they didn’t exist.Well, this was exactly the peace that has long been forgotten by Rex Magnus, so it took him a while to adapt to it.Poor Rex Magnus, he even thought something has gone wrong with his mother-in-law, so he secretly checked her health.It was until he was certain that she was fine does he finally become relieved.……Immediately they got home, Fiona went to her bedroom to change her dress while Rex Magnus went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for the entire house.At first, Rex Magnus thought his mother-in-law wouldn’t be interested in the meal he prepared since she was ignoring him, but thankfully, he added hers, because she was the first person to rush toward the dining room immediately after the meal was served.After keeping her silence for a long while, Sally eventually spoke just after everybody finished the
***** Fiona became dumbfounded when she realized her mother was speaking to her, but she immediately shook her head with disappointment.“But mother, that’s the case.” Rex Magnus added when he realized that his wife was going to be insulted by his mother-in-law.“Shut Your Trash You Fool!” Sally snapped at Rex Magnus once she heard his words while glaring ferociously at him as if she was going to gorge out his eyes if he dares to speak another nonsense. “Do you think I'm also a fool like her?” Her eyes began to shoot out flames again. “No! You need to go back to strengthen your black magic, it would never work on me!”Seeing her mother like this, Fiona became further disappointed, then she gazed at her mother for a while more before she eventually opened her mouth with a letdown sigh.“Mother, do you even care about anything related to the wager other than how we would divorce each other?”“Shut your mouth you brat!” Sally growled in respon
