"What?" Charlie's anger boiled over, his face turning bright red as he yelled, "This is too much! I want to see your chairman! He needs to apologize, or he'll regret it when I trash this place!"Laird gave a cold snort, grabbed the ready walkie-talkie, and called out, "Security, get in here, quick! We've got someone trying to wreck the place."In a flash, four security guards in black suits rushed into the room, grabbed Charlie, and marched him right out the door.The poor Jones family heir thought he could throw his weight around, but instead, he got a beating from the guards and ended up tossed outside, his suit torn and his face a mess of bruises.He tried to get up, wanting to shout insults, but the angry stares from the guards scared him silent. He scrambled into his Audi and sped away.Afterward, General Manager Howe filled in the chairman on what had happened. Elio could not help but feel a rush of glee. 'Charlie, you think you can take me on? Look where that got you!' Elio
"Elio, come here and pour away this dirty water!" A beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure was sitting on the sofa. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. She had just finished soaking her feet and was applying lotion on her fair thighs. She was Elio Rinz's wife, Evelyn Jones.Elio, who had just finished washing the dishes in the kitchen, hurried out. He wiped his hands on his apron and carried away his wife's dirty water. He did not dare to slacken for even an instant. After all, as a live-in son-in-law, he was used to being ordered around by his in-laws.Right now, Evelyn looked like a mermaid who had just emerged from a spring. Elio gulped and asked, "Honey, we've been married for three years now. When are we going to try for a child?"Evelyn turned to look at him. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was cold. There was a sense of distance about her that kept others at bay. "Are you high or something? How dare you ask such a thing?"Her cold gaze made Elio panic. H
Evelyn's beautiful face was filled with shock, and her gaze was complicated. Her unhappy marriage had always been a thorn in her heart. Was it over now, just like that? Had all her dreams come true? If that useless man finally left her, she could find a better, richer husband. So why was she not as happy as she had imagined she would be?Howard, her father, looked up in confusion. "Something's wrong with that kid. He really left, just like that? Is he really not coming back?"Lana's expression was stormy. "Even better! I've always disliked that wimp. Evelyn, divorce that dog right now and find a richer, more powerful family! Any man on the streets would be a hundred times better than Rinz. I mean, look at all your friends and classmates! They're nowhere near as beautiful as you, but they found better husbands!""Alright, that's enough! You're annoying." Evelyn did not appreciate her mother's nagging. She quickly returned to her room and slammed the door shut."That wretched girl,
Garuda Estate was decorated like a modern-day royal palace. The huge mural in the main hall was that of a colorful phoenix spreading its wings and flying high amidst the flames. It was the perfect embodiment of revival and strength.In the conference room on the fifth floor, many big shots had gathered dressed in their Sunday best. Elio was the only one wearing a cheap T-shirt and faded jeans. He looked a little out of place, almost proud in his own unique way.He was quite famous in Cloudsea City. After all, he spent all day doing nothing and lounging around, but he still managed to marry Evelyn Jones, the woman of many men's dreams. She was the general manager of Skybound Advertising, and she was as beautiful as she was intelligent. Just like that, he lived off her coattails for three whole years.Their wedding three years ago caused a huge stir, and countless young talents lamented Evelyn's fate. They all remembered Elio, the useless live-in son-in-law, and felt that Evelyn was c
"I understand. Don't worry about me, Mom."As the CEO of a multinational corporation, Susanne was always busy with work. She had to take her private jet to seal an oil deal worth tens of billions of dollars that very day. After nagging her son a bit more, she left Garuda Estate followed by her retinue of subordinates.Later that night, Elio slept on the bed for the first time in the three years since he got married. The luxurious bed was worth tens of thousands, but he simply could not fall asleep. All this time, Evelyn has been the one sleeping on the bed. He slept on the floor until he got used to that kind of life. Now, he could not get used to the sudden change.You heard that right. Even though they were married, Elio did not even have the right to sleep in the same bed with his wife, let alone do what married couples were supposed to do. He had never even touched Evelyn before. What a tragic excuse of a married life that was!After a night of tossing and turning, Elio simply
Elio was already used to being the target of ridicule. He shamelessly sat down beside his wife and stole a glance at her.Evelyn was furious right now. She glanced at her so-called husband in disgust and embarrassment, snapping, "Why did you come dressed like that? Everyone else is in their Sunday best! Look at you."Elio said softly, "But I don't even have a decent suit. Your mother only gives me 200 dollars a month to buy groceries. How can I afford any fancy clothes?"That was true, and Evelyn knew it. Elio had been a full-time housemaid ever since he married into the family. When was the last time he bought new clothes? She racked her brain until suddenly remembered. "Where's the suit you were wearing when we got married back then?""Did you forget? We rented it from the photo studio. We had to return it after the wedding," Elio replied helplessly."Pfft…" The guests at the table next to theirs burst out laughing. "What a riot! That poor son-in-law, even his wedding suit was a
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Lana. Cheers…""And this is my cousin, Evelyn.""Oh, I've heard a lot about you…" James' beady eyes stared openly at the beauty in front of him. His breathing quickened, and his heart skipped a beat. He had long since heard about Evelyn's beauty, and now that he could actually compare, he could not deny that Evelyn was much prettier than his wife.Elio's expression darkened when he saw the man staring at Evelyn without restraint. He cursed James inwardly, thinking, 'Hey, you have a wife of your own! Why are you drooling over mine?'Sienna did not look that pleased, either. Even with all her makeup, she could not compare to Evelyn's natural beauty. The guests' gazes were all focused on her cousin. She was the bride, yet no one paid attention to her. Evelyn had completely stolen her limelight.To make things worse, she could hear the whispers from nearby loud and clear. "So that's Evelyn… As expected of Cloudsea's idol. She's so beautiful that even I'm fallin
James was furious when Elio ruined his expensive suit. These rich young heirs were usually spoiled and domineering, and he was no exception. He cursed, his expression livid as he swung his fist at Elio's face, "You motherf—" However, before James' hand could even make contact, Elio let out a scream and fell back, knocking over the contents of the neighboring table. He quickly recovered before any of the food landed on him, but the guests who had been mocking him were not as lucky. They were completely covered in food scraps and spilled water."What the hell?! These clothes are brand new!""Ahh, I shouldn't have come today. I'm all filthy now…"The guests cursed and wailed, making a complete mess of the wedding banquet.Elio's in-laws all leaped to their feet, stunned. Their useless son-in-law had ruined the wedding!Lana’s face turned red. "He's a curse, I tell you, a curse! Nothing good ever happens when he's involved. We shouldn't have let him come here and embarrass himself!"
