2. Being Forced

It was clearly seen that Bill was very angry.

A shocked Christopher immediately asked, "Why are you yelling at Peter, Bill?"

Bill pointed at Peter with his index finger with uncontrollable anger.

"He's-"

"What are you doing? Why are you pointing at Peter like that?" Shirley said, already approaching her future husband, visibly annoyed by her brother-in-law's behavior.

"He said he wanted to get close to Cassandra," Bill said with an angry growl.

Shirley was wide-eyed and immediately raised her hand, intending to slap Bill. But swiftly, Bill managed to brush it off.

"How dare you make such a dirty accusation. He's not as low as you are, Bill!" Shirley said with great annoyance.

"He said it himself. He-"

"Enough, Bill!" Christopher shouted, looking furious.

Bill let out a long breath. His chest was heaving, indicating he was furious.

Peter said, "What do you mean by that? I'm just saying your wife is beautiful. Is that wrong?"

He turned to Chistopher, "Mr. Wood, I was just being polite, complimenting a future sister-in-law isn't a problem?"

Bill widened his eyes and thought that the man was really good at talking. He easily understood that he wouldn't be able to beat him if he didn't have proof.

"Never mind, Peter. Don't mind what Bill said. He must just be jealous of you and slandering you," Christopher said.

Bill snorted.

What fools, are you blind? It's obvious that Peter Green is not a good guy. How can you accept him? Bill wondered.

"Now apologize to Peter, Bill. You have the nerve to accuse him of anything," Christopher ordered.

"Apologize quickly, I said!" Christopher repeated.

"I won't forgive you if you don't apologize to my future husband," Shirley said, looking down at Bill.

Bill did not respond to Shirley or Christopher's words.

"What are you waiting for? Do I need to force you to speak, Bill?" The old man said and he was now glaring angrily at him.

Bill replied casually. "I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?"

"You-"

"He had the nerve to say he wanted to seduce my wife. He should be the one to apologize," Bill said.

Shirley still didn't accept, "You should be the one who has to apologize."

"I have to clean up the dining room," Bill excused himself.

The man turned a deaf ear to his sister-in-law's swearing.

As soon as he got to the kitchen he thought hard. If Peter Green entered the Wood family, it was clear that his wife's position would be in danger. It was possible that Peter would try to play a prank on her.

In the next day, Bill did his job as usual in a food stall.

"What is he doing here?" Emma murmured quietly, but Bill could hear her.

Bill instantly turned his head and saw the buyer Emma was referring to, "Shirley, what are you-"

"Grapes, please. Hurry up!" A beautiful woman said while throwing money at Bill that Bill didn't catch.

Emma gaped in surprise, "Hey, Miss. Can't you be a little polite? Bill is your brother-in-law."

Shirley ignored Emma's remark and instead glared irritably at Bill, "Are you going to get it for me or not, Bill? I'm in a hurry."

Bill sighed and took the money then immediately gave Shirley the wine she asked for.

Shirley grinned with satisfaction, "Good brother-in-law."

After Shirley walked out of her stall, Emma said, "Bill, why did you keep quiet about them treating you like that?"

Bill just smiled and continued his work. He couldn't possibly tell Emma his big secret.

Arriving at the Woods' house in the night, Bill nearly had a heart attack when he saw Peter Green intending to touch his wife's backside as they stood together in the garden.

"Peter! What are you trying to do?" Bill growled angrily.

Quickly Bill pulled Cassandra away from Peter.

Cassandra gasped, while Peter was shocked but tried to put on a calm expression.

"Why are you yelling, Bill?" Cassandra asked in confusion.

"He's trying to be mean to you, Cassie."

"How insolent? How dare you?" Peter said pretending to be angry.

Apparently, Bill's shouting had made the other Wood family members in the house come outside.

Shirley came running over. "What's going on? Bill, why are you looking at my future husband like that?"

"Your lovely husband-to-be was just about to touch Cassie's body. Tell him to apologize to my wife right now!" Bill said sharply.

Cassandra gaped, while Christopher who had just arrived there looked so shocked at Bill's words.

However, the old man said, "Bill, how dare you accuse an honorable man like Peter of doing that!"

"Peter would never do such a disgusting thing, Bill. Don't lump him in with lowlifes like you!" Shirley defended.

"But I saw it myself. Cassie-"

"Never mind, Bill! I was just talking to Peter for a while, why are you coming around like this, don't embarrass me!" Cassandra said seriously.

Peter Green also felt that he had the upper hand, he smiled faintly.

"Cassie-"

"Enough, useless grandson-in-law. Now apologize to Peter! Hurry up!" Christopher ordered.

"Yesterday we still let you go, but this is too much. I won't let you tarnish Peter's name. Cassie, why are you silent too?" Shirley said, looking annoyed at her sister.

Cassandra let go of Bill and said, "Apologize, Bill!"

Bill couldn't believe his wife's words, "I won't."

"Bill!" Cassandra snapped.

"If you're not going to apologize, get out of this house right now!" Christopher said in anger.

Peter Green said, "Grandpa, please. This is just a misunderstanding, it doesn't have to be like this."

Christopher shook his head, "He should know how to behave. Hurry up, Bill. What are you waiting for?"

Bill said heavily, "I will never apologize to the man who dared to harass my wife. All right, I'm leaving."

Cassandra balled up in shock, as if she couldn't process everything yet.

Peter Green looked so happy because it meant he had a chance to get close to Cassandra, the beautiful woman he had been dreaming of.

While Christopher sneered, "You think life out there is easy?"

"Well, if your pride is so high, then go ahead and leave. Enjoy being a bum!" Christopher said again.

Bill didn't respond to Christopher's words.

"I'm off, Cassie!" Bill said as he turned his head to his wife.

Cassandra had just woken up when Bill stepped outside. However, when she was about to take a step, Christopher held her back, "Don't hold him back! Let him go!"

"But, Grandpa-"

"Cassie, if he can't live outside, he'll come back. Let him be a beggar on the street!" Christopher said in a very loud tone, intentionally so that Bill who had just reached the gate would hear him.

Bill clenched his fists tightly, hurrying away from there.

Had they known Bill's true background, they would have trembled in fear and knelt at his feet to beg for forgiveness.
