"I say Sis, is this how you teach your child? No wonder so ill-mannered. Doesn't recognize kindness. See how great my son is, learn from him." James Brown's mouth twitched. This freeloading wastrel even dared compare with Susan? But he didn't dare speak out. Mary Martinez apologized with a smile, "That's right, Russell is far better than Susan.""Oh yes, why did you bring so much stuff? Could it be gifts for us?" She hopefully asked.Hearing this, Katherine Gonzales snorted disdainfully, "What are you thinking? Impossible. Let me tell you clearly, we'll be living here from now on. And more, this grand villa...is my son's bridal suite!""What?"Susan and the others were greatly shocked.Since when did Jason's purchased villa become his son's bridal suite?Susan, Mary and James were dumbfounded, not leaving? And bridal suite, what was Katherine talking nonsense about? Although they had to consider relatives' face, this was too preposterous. Even Jason was confused. This trio seemed to
Seeing he was about to get violent, Susan and Mary were greatly shocked, but Katherine Gonzales and Joe Martinez were proud and arrogant, sneering coldly, "Well done, beat him fiercely! Trash should kneel on the ground and be thrown in the trash!"But seeing this, Jason sneered coldly. He dared attack him? This beanpole? Seeing the punch come, he lazily kicked out a foot. Before Russell Martinez could react, his entire body was in midair, his abdomen in intense pain, face twisted, screaming as he crashed into the luggage."Boom!""Bastard! My son, Russell!" Katherine screamed in fright, then glared ferociously at Jason, "Who allowed you trash to fight back? You should just stand there and take the beating! How dare you hit my son, I'll tear you apart!"Susan and Mary Martinez cried out in alarm. The scene happened too quickly to react or stop it. But the next second, a clear, resounding slap rang out, the entire room falling silent. In their vision, Jason's merciless slap was like
Just as Susan was about to erupt, Mary suddenly had an idea. Smiling awkwardly, she said, "It's not that we won't help Russell, just that money is tight now. How about I give you this sapphire necklace for the time being? It's quite valuable."As she spoke, she removed the chain from her neck - the first gem Jason had gifted Susan. "Hmph, trying to brush off beggars with a cheap necklace? How much could that be worth?" Joe and Russell scoffed, conveniently forgetting they had come to demand money unreasonably. But Katherine's eyes lit up. She snatched the necklace and beamed, "Sister, you're too kind! We'll gladly accept this. Well, it's gotten late, so we'll take our leave."Ignoring Joe and Russell's shouts, she hurriedly left with their luggage, secretly delighted. Mary was puzzled - just like that, they agreed to leave? Usually they were so difficult! At least she had fobbed them off with a fake necklace. Surely they didn't think it was real? So gullible! She would have to
Just as the trio were getting riled up, their cab suddenly braked and stopped at a supermarket. "Hang on, I need to buy cigarettes," the driver said, getting out.Impatient, Katherine grumbled, "Useless fools everywhere, wasting time. They should just die!" But Russell's eyes landed on a duffel bag tucked away in a corner. Shocked, he whispered, "Mom, look!" At least tens of thousands were stuffed inside - bundles of fresh cash from the bank!Katherine's eyes gleamed. Succumbing to temptation, she swiftly snatched the money. "What are you doing?" Joe panicked. "That's theft! What if he notices?"But Katherine glared, "What's there to be scared of? How will he know it's us? He could've dropped it on the way back from the bank. If anything happens, we'll just blame Susan's family and extort more money from them! We have no leverage right now, but with this, we can bite them again." Russell agreed eagerly, "That's right. If we don't push them, we'll never know how much they have! $20
At his words, the terrified trio fled clutching their bags, the hundreds of thousands of dollars sapphire forgotten. Their lives were more precious, they'd find a way to get it back from the Browns later. And that useless Jason will pay!The next day, Jason awoke refreshed. He could still see ample snowy flesh before him - Susan's allure was truly heart-stirring! Jason swallowed hard and suppressed his pounding heart. Stepping out, he saw Kyle's mother Grace Diaz had prepared a sumptuous breakfast."Thanks for the trouble, Auntie Diaz." Jason smiled.Grace beamed with relief, "I'm glad you all like it. Oh, be careful going out at night - there was a news report about a family of three stealing their cab driver's money but getting beaten badly in return."Susan and James Brown were shocked, how awful! They deserved it!But Jason was unsurprised. He already knew - the unrepentant Katherine Gonzales family had tried to return for more money, but Sean had scared them back home.Just then
But Dylan glared and scoffed, "Misunderstanding? Are you questioning me? Strip and wipe the floor or get out yourself!""Yes sir!" The guards jumped in fright and moved to surround Jason.Nothing to be done, the bosses word was law. Not obeying meant losing their jobs. They didn't know how this guy had offended the VP, but this would be a public humiliation!Seeing this, Jason sighed, "Stubborn fool, don't make trouble for yourself. This is sincere advice, or there will be grave consequences!" "Ridiculous! Grab him!" Dylan yelled furiously.But just as the guards moved to grab Jason, an anxious bellow suddenly rang out."All of you stop!""What's that? Who's causing trouble? Seize them all!" Dylan Simmons bellowed furiously, having lost all composure. Consumed by vengeance, he only wished to humiliate Jason by making him strip naked and drag his clothes on the floor like a clown, to get back at him for the car wiping incident. His eyes were blinded by hatred.But Jason shook his hea
Unless he wanted to give up his deputy general manager position. But that would be the height of foolishness, leaving him powerless even to protect himself.Under the crowd's gaze, Dylan Simmons' face burned as he lowered his head and trembled out, "Dad...Daddy!""Hahaha..." The surrounding couples laughed uproariously. Just now this man was arrogant, but now he's calling daddy with his tail between his legs. There's always a higher mountain.But it wasn't over. Mark Phillips suddenly snorted coldly, "Do to yourself what you did to Mr. Gray earlier. Not everyone can be forgiven for foolish acts. The deputy general manager role isn't exclusive to you."Dylan Simmons' face flushed, then pale, his temple throbbing as his eyes flashed imperceptible resentment. The next second, he actually stripped off his suit, leaving only his boxers, and knelt to wipe the floor."Jason, Mark Phillips, just you wait and see..."The onlookers gaped in shock. He really stripped!But unbeknownst to them,
As soon as she finished, the relatives angrily retorted, "Insolent! How dare you speak to your elders like that? Who knows if you're just pretending to gain sympathy? Stop acting all good here.""If you really cared for the Brown family, you'd hand over the company to avoid our struggle.""Hmph, I see she's just unwilling to part with it. Word is she's driving BMWs and living in villas now. How could she possibly let the company go after just becoming spokesperson, with boundless prospects ahead..."One after another, the sarcastic, ridiculing tones and unabashed attacks cut Susan like a knife, filling her with despair. Was this still the Brown family she knew?In this moment, she felt as if she stood on the opposite side of the world, chilled to the bone, both inside and out, like being in darkness, shunned and reviled by all.Even her parents, Mary Martinez and James Brown, didn't dare make a peep from the corner, afraid of getting burned.Just as Susan was about to give up everyth
