My wife dies in an accident, leaving me and our son, who's just started kindergarten, behind. I barely make it through the funeral. However, when I get home, my in-laws come knocking with my wife's brother in tow. They want to take over my wife's fortune, including an old bungalow my parents left me for me in the city. I finally realize that my wife has changed me so much that her family has never seen me tearing people's throats out.
View MoreJudith turned around to stare at Paul in horror. Then, she slowly collapsed to the floor.I merely called the police while retaining a poker face. While Judith didn't die from the severe injury that was inflicted on the back of her head, she still ended up becoming a vegetable. The doctor said her chances of waking up were close to zero.Meanwhile, Paul kept kicking up a ruckus in prison because he wanted to see me. I specifically picked a nice day with beautiful weather to visit him in prison.The moment Paul saw me, he rushed toward me agitatedly. "Felix, save me! Please save me! I don't wanna go to jail!"I shook my head impassively. "Judith has become a vegetable. You're charged with battery and assault. I can't save you this time."Paul sank onto the chair in a fit of despair."I didn't mean to do that! Seriously, I didn't! But Judith's strength had tripled back then! If I didn't stop her, she'd end up taking a life for real! Felix, you have to be my witness! I did that ju
That afternoon, Edward returned to the company. His eyes were all bulged out, and his gait was unsteady. Obviously, he had overindulged in sex.The moment he saw me, he jogged over excitedly."Felix, Lils and I are officially together! She told me she loves men who come from farming villages, just like me! Apparently, she thinks I'm honest and hardworking!"Also, she told me to go over to her house and ask for her hand in marriage with 500,000 dollars. Can you lend me another 500,000 dollars?"Flabbergasted, I asked Edward, "Did you use up all 500,000 dollars I had given you last time?"Edward nodded shyly. "I gave all of my money to Lils. I want to prove to her that I'm the sort of man she can rely on."I patted him on the shoulder. "Good job! But…"My tone took a conflicted turn. "At the moment, I only have enough money to buy your house. Why don't we take a raincheck on the house-buying process? I'll give you money to ask for Lily's hand in marriage first."Edward's expressi
"But the money I have right now isn't enough to cover the price."Paul's expression started to darken. "Still, you can't just drag it out! Ed isn't getting any younger here! How can he find a local wife without a house of his own?""Yes, I know." I nodded heavily.After thinking for some time, I patted my chest confidently. "Leave this matter to me, Paul. I promise I'll get this sorted out in a month."The next day, I told Edward that I needed to go out to deal with something, so he was given a day off.He looked a little confused. "Where are you going, Felix? Why aren't you taking me with you? I'm okay with carrying your bag for you."I just answered him mysteriously, "I'm going to earn some money so that I can buy you a big house."Edward's eyes lit up instantly. He insisted on following me, but I was adamant to leave him out of this.On the third evening, I returned to the Wolfes' apartment with a bright smile on my face."Paul, Judith, Ed, I've solved the money problem! I'
The next day, I hired a bunch of capable men from a friend's security company. They would be in charge of protecting and monitoring Max the whole time.After that, I rented a fancy apartment over 2,000 square feet wide with opulent furnishings. Then, I went over to the police station to bail Paul, Judith, and Edward out.The trio followed me out of the police station frightfully, not daring to breathe out loud.After leading them to the rented apartment, I presented some coffee to them before apologizing to them."Paul, Judith, Edward, I'm sorry. When I couldn't find Max last night, I finally realized that family was more important than money."I'll do whatever you say when it comes to dealing with Gwen's assets. But I don't have that much cash at the moment. I need time to convert assets into cash flow. "During this time, you can stay in Lexton City and get used to life here. I'll do my best to convert the assets into cash."You know what? There's no need for you to go back to
"Don't think you can fool us this time! We want 51 million dollars, and not a single cent less!"I shook my head at the manager. Then, I walked over to a random table and sat down to enjoy the show.The crowd argued with the restaurant for a long time after that. In the end, the restaurant manager lost his patience and called the police.Only then did the crowd panic. Judith looked at the relatives whom she had brought here before demanding them to cough up the money.In the end, everyone had to pay the restaurant 30 thousand dollars each before leaving the compound. At the doorway, the relatives quickly captured Paul, Judith, and Edward. Once they beat them up, they ditched the Wolfes angrily.Upon leaving the restaurant, I looked at the time. It was almost time to go to the kindergarten and pick up my son, Maxwell Larson.On the way there, I kept thinking about how I should explain to my son why his parents had not picked him up from school for so many days.How should I expla
Apparently, a bunch of outsiders had brought their luggage to the manor's compound and plopped their asses there. They claimed that the manor was theirs, so they wanted the tenants to move out immediately.By the time I reached the manor, the group was already sitting in the main lobby. Edward pointed at the menu while ordering a bunch of dishes."I don't want these dishes. Other than that, I want the rest of the menu to be served. Also, I want a bottle of Château Lafite from the 1982 vintage. "What are you standing around for? We're your landlords, you know! Are you worried that we can't afford this meal? "If you don't hurry up, I might as well stop renting this place to you! I'll make sure that the money your boss has used on the refurbishment of this manor goes down the drain!"The server left the table while looking conflicted. After closing the menu, Edward turned to face Paul and Judith smugly."Who would've thought that Felix's manor is actually Grand Euphoria? Mom, Dad,
With her hands on her hips, the receptionist began turning the air blue with curses directed at Paul and Judith. Both of them looked thunderous, but they couldn't find a chance to retort at all.Dylan tried to hold his laughter back. When he saw me, he finally stepped forward and pretended to mediate the chaos. Soon, he led the crowd into a lounge.My lawyer had arrived as well. I didn't bother wasting my breath on the Wolfes, so I named my condition.I'd pay them five million dollars. In exchange, I got to sever all ties with them.Judith was the first one to shoot down my condition. She reiterated stubbornly, "No way! There's no way we'd agree to this!"Don't think we're clueless about the fact that you had bought an accident insurance policy with a huge payout for Gwendolyn! Yesterday's list didn't even include the money paid by the insurance company! There might be a chance that you bought that policy for Gwendolyn before hiring someone to run her over!"No, you have to pay u
"We checked everything on the Internet. The manor is worth 150 million dollars. The market price for this apartment is listed as ten million dollars."Half of the joint assets is yours. The remaining half should be split between me, Judith, Ed, you, and your son."In terms of your apartment and the savings, we'll convert them based on the market value. You're obligated to transfer 51 million dollars to us. As for Gwendolyn's jewelry and handbags, you may have them as a token of her remembrance."But Edward refused to accept that outcome."Dad, why should he get to have those things? Gwendolyn has so many branded handbags! If we sell them to a second-hand bag seller, we'll still net a ton of profit!"The moment Edward's words fell, he got up and headed toward the walk-in closet. After that, he opened Gwen's display cabinets and began sifting through the handbags roughly. He grabbed the bags that he liked and tossed away the others to the floor.I had bought those handbags during m
After staying up for the past 48 hours, I was able to wrap up my beloved wife, Gwendolyn Wolfe's funeral matters.I had arranged for my child to live with a friend for the time being. Upon returning to the cold and empty apartment I called home, I didn't even have the guts to turn on the lights. All I did was space out in the darkness.Yes, I was afraid.Gwen was the one who had dragged me back into the rhythm of a regular life. Without her, I could feel my dark and empty soul begging to be unleashed.Suddenly, a series of bangs came from the front door."Felix, open up! Open the door right now!"It was my mother-in-law, Judith Millard's voice.After rubbing my face, I went to get the door. There were about a dozen people standing outside my apartment at the moment.I stood in the doorway while gazing at them blankly. "What's the matter?"Judith waved at the people behind her. "Come in! Everyone, come in and take a seat!"My father-in-law, Paul Wolfe, and my brother-in-law, E
