Sally stood up and sided with Eddie as she did not want to file for a divorce. “How could you be so superstitious just because of something a priest had said?” Sally immediately walked toward Eddie’s side. She was trying to tell him that she wanted to take his side and help him handle those difficult relatives. Unfortunately, Eddie did not need it. He even felt repulsed by her gesture as he wheeled his chair away from her. At that moment, Sally could feel that everyone around her was looking at her mockingly. Andrew had even openly insulted her. “You’re just a woman that I had played with. Who gave you the right to even attend our family meeting?” Everyone in the room continued to laugh mockingly at Sally when they heard what Andrew had said. Sally thought that Eddie would at least help her based on the fact that she was Amanda’s sister and his wife of many years.Sadly, she was wrong. Eddie did not even look at her nor allowed her to try to reap any benefits from the Fox family

“Are you telling me that you’re the one who helped her? Since when did that bitch approach you?” Andrew had finally given up putting on an act as he sneered, “I was wondering how she could manage all this. “It seems like she slept with Cedric. I wonder how he feels using my second-hand goods?” Baz clenched his fists tightly, trying to fight the urge to punch Andrew right in the face. This was Nordic City, and he was Cedric’s assistant. He should not be causing his boss any more trouble. Baz stepped closer to Andrew threateningly. Andrew just laughed at Baz’s furious face. “My my, why the long face, Mr. Baz? I wasn’t wrong about Shelly being a second-hand good. It looks like that bitch slept with you instead of Cedric. She had used you to get Cedric's help.” “If you continue to insult her, I’ll make sure you’ll never speak again.” Baz gritted his teeth and warned. Even if he had to pay a heavy price, he would make sure to destroy Andrew. "It seems like I was right. Did you l

Cedric nodded, “That’s why I gave him the address.” Eddie could not help but admire his brother’s terrifying ability. He smiled and commented, “Cedric, you’re always so meticulous and constantly a step ahead. I wonder, would you really lose all rationality for love? I could never imagine you going crazy.”“That’s the scariest part of me.” Just because he was sensible most would think that he was always calm and collected. They do not know how scary he could be if his loved ones were threatened.“Then I pray that I won’t have to witness that side of you,” Eddie said. Cedric smiled. As long as Maia was safe nothing else mattered. Even if it meant giving up his life. “I think it’s time for you to go downstairs.” The family gathering was still ongoing. Those relatives were still waiting downstairs. Eddie sighed, “I don’t want to go down and face those people. I know that I don’t have any other choice but to deal with them.” Eddie looked at the pendant in his hand. “When my fa

Shelly’s mother and little brother were both greedy monsters. They’d never treat her like family. To say they thought of her as ‘goods’ would be a kind way to put it. However, the moment she lost her good looks, they’d treat her like trash!It pained Baz’s heart to see her like this.Shelly pulled herself out of the hellhole that was Andrew’s grasp, but she landed right back into another one! An exquisite flower like her needed protection and nurturing.He could provide her with those things!“Let me go, Baz! I won’t leave with you! This is my home and they’re my family. This is where I belong. Why do I have to leave with you? I made myself perfectly clear! I don’t need you to look after me. I don’t need anyone! Do you hear what I’m saying?”She shook him off, took off the puffer jacket, and flung it back at him. She spent every ounce of energy she had and screamed. He needed to leave. She needed him to leave now.“Get out of my house!” She pointed at the door coldly.The rain g

“Don’t say that about yourself. You don’t have to believe what your mother said. You’re awesome. I mean it. It doesn’t matter to me if the other ladies are awesome. All I care about is you. I love you and I want to treat you well.”“Do you love me that much, Baz?”He nodded, “Yeah. I love you so much.” He felt a little embarrassed saying it out loud.Bending over and lowering his head, he leaned close to Shelly.“Go ahead and touch it. Don’t you think my short hair is soft to the touch?”She smiled in response, “You remember that I love to run my hand across your short hair!”“Of course.” He said.Putting her hand on top of his head, she ran it across his hair, and couldn’t help but smile, “Well. Do you remember what else you said, Baz? You said you’re going to marry me. Also, you said you’re going to help me whenever I call.”“I remember what I said. I made a promise to you. It’s important.”Looking at him, she asked, “Have you said the same thing to other ladies?”He resp
