"Grandpa, look at that son-in-law; he has no manners. We're all discussing something important, and he wants to leave this room immediately. He should show his achievements if he wants to be arrogant."
They all seemed to agree with that statement. Bryce, who had wanted to rest, was now stuck with the drama of his sister-in-law. The pair took great pleasure in dehumanising Bryce.
"Honey, you're right. He's quite arrogant for a man with no accomplishments. Bryce has the hardened nature of a pest. I thought his behaviour in the office the other day was enough to get him out of here. But somehow, it seems like my warnings fell on deaf ears. Our family has become a laughing stock because of a man like him," Veronica's mother, who was also there, said.
With a glass of wine in her hand, Mrs Veronica walked over to Bryce. She reluctantly poured all the contents into Bryce's face.
"True, this man has never contributed anything to o

"That's right. A poor man like Bryce should be a servant, not a son-in-law. The Carter Family has been in the public eye for almost two years. It would be great if we were famous for our achievements, but instead, we've become a joke in society. I really can't bear to be embarrassed for this long."People in the family thought that Bryce was the same as rubbish. He not only did not help Veronica but also hindered her all the time.All these glimpses of the early days of their marriage are a turning point in the golden age of the Carter family. What was once perfect now has the disgrace of defects on full display.With his head still spinning, his lips dripping blood, and his stomach aching, Bryce tried to ignore what others were saying about him. The fragile-looking man even saw his wife's expression as she desperately wanted to slap him.Noticing the reproachful look on Veronica's face, Bryce stepped closer. With an embarrassed look, he said, "Veronica,

The voices came back to Bryce's head. The universe seemed to whisper and energise him to retaliate. But Bryce was too confused and unaware of the situation.Seeing Bryce's dishevelled state was not enough to satisfy their desires. Bruno wanted to sow salt in the wound."Bryce, I know you are courting a rich woman who is about to go bankrupt. You're very brave to give her a helping hand," the man responded with a statement that would captivate Bryce's attention.With a dazed look, Bryce stopped his steps and jerked back. He asked in surprise, "Do you know Tamara?""Of course. She is a business rival that must be destroyed. The doctor who treated her husband is my friend. I asked the doctor to increase the dosage in the prescription!" Bruno replied with a grinning smile."Bruno, how dare you..." Bryce responded, and his blood started to rise.Bryce clenched his fists, his eyes burned with anger, and blue veins appeared on his forehead. David had been bedridden for a year as his conditio

While contemplating the meaning of life and death, Bryce's eyes slowly became heavy and began to close on their own. The man seemed to have to let go that death had come for him.Bryce faintly heard someone coming towards him, the man screaming for help. This immediately caused a crowd of people to slowly come and approach Bryce, who was lying there covered in blood.After that, Bryce knew nothing more. All of his daydreams came to a screeching halt. He ended up in a blackout.The closed eyes only opened when Bryce sensed the strong smell of disinfectant affecting his sense of smell. Bryce began to hear the conversation between the doctor and the nurse."The recovery of his body is quite impressive. This is a unique phenomenon and step. Every cell can mutate smarter than it would in an ordinary person."Bryce's vision seemed to be impaired by the amount of light they were shining at him. From what Bryce could see, it looked like he was in an operat

In martial arts, Champions are divided into five classes: Beginner, Able, Advanced, Expert, and Master.Bryce was once a top-tier Master Champion, one of the best in the martial arts world."Never mind, there are only a few expert champions in Novaria. I'll try hard with what I have now. I will use this time to recover fully. Just wait for my vengeance, Anne and the Lords! Once I regain my strength, I will finish you off!" Bryce muttered with mixed emotions.Bryce stared into the distance, the aura inside him cooling. An hour later, Bryce stood in front of a three-storey villa. Bryce had lived in that villa for two years."That useless Bryce lived with us for two years. He did nothing but disrupt our lives. Then, today, he embarrassed me in front of the whole family. Where do I put my face? Veronica, I know you got married because you were aiming for the headship and were rewarded handsomely at the time. So why did you choose that loser instead?"

"Bryce Milano!"Veronica scolded, "Are you out of your mind? Sure, you're a Milano, but that doesn't mean you're from that honourable family. Are you pretending to be Mr Grant to get rid of this family?"Bryce had to watch Veronica's expression as she looked at him contemptuously. The woman continued, "This divorce is not going to happen. We have signed a contract for two years, and five months remain. After that, I will leave you even if I do not become the head of this family. Before that, you won't be able to go anywhere."Veronica thought that she understood everything. Bryce's strange behaviour and excuses must be a ploy to get Veronica to divorce him. Veronica turns and leaves.Watching her leave, Bryce reflected on what had just happened."Bryce, come out!"Not long after, someone banged loudly on the Villa's door.Lexy opened the door with a start. A dozen burly men in black were standing outside. In front of them stood Bruno and a young man.The young man was wearing a white

Seeing what had just happened, a big question arose in Veronica and Lexy's minds.Bruno's mouth dropped open. He knew Bryce was stronger than him, but he did not expect Bryce to be able to take down a bunch of burly men easily.Cory was stunned, his eyes amazed."Tell me, what should I do to you?" Bryce asked Bruno as he walked up to him."Don't come any closer, Mr Sullivan, help me!" Bruno was terrified.As if not hearing, Cory did not move at all."I promised to break both your legs, and I'll keep it now."Bryce Latas kicked Bruno.CRACK!There was the sound of something cracking. Bruno fell, both legs broken by Bryce."Bryce, you..." Veronica looked at Bryce. She was still shocked to see the paralysed Bruno.Lexy was stunned after witnessing Bryce's brutality. She recalled Bryce's cold stare, and her heart felt like it would burst.As if nothing had happened, Bryce looked very calm. Bryce broke bo

Finley called Veronica's small family in the morning and invited her to a family gathering."We're finished! That old man must be furious about the Bruno thing!"Hurriedly, Lexy knocked on Bryce's bedroom door.As soon as Bryce came out, Lexy snapped, "Bryce, you're such a troublemaker! Come with us and apologise to the old man. Tell him it's all your fault. Veronica had nothing to do with it. You must obey all their orders. You must do so even if they ask you to bend the knee!"Lexy knew one thing. Although Bryce was arrogant, he wouldn't dare go against Lexy, which gave Lexy the courage to yell at him and order him around. Bryce remained silent, ignoring Lexy.Veronica said, "Mum, I admit that Bryce and I should have been more gentle yesterday, but it's still Bruno's fault! Why do we have to apologise? I'm sure Grandpa will make a wise decision."Not long after, Veronica and her three family members arrived at the Finleys' stately home.

Just then, several servants arrived with stun sticks. They were all preparing to attack Bryce.Seeing all of them wanting to hurt him made Bryce grin. The workers were waiting to attack Bryce directly, so Bryce quickly prepared his stance."Grandpa! Bryce has been suffering from something so horrible lately that he's a little out of his mind. Please forgive Bryce!" Veronica approached Bryce frantically, reasoning that she was helping her husband.Bryce saw his wife trying to defend him. The woman explained that Bryce wanted to defend his pride, which had been trampled on for almost two years."My mind is made up. You must divorce Bryce! I already have a new husband in mind for you. He's better than a rubbish man like him," Finley would not withdraw her words.Bryce, who heard this, remained silent as he watched Veronica's face darken while Tiana and Marella smiled happily."Grandpa, you promised yesterday!
