“Mom…”
Alex wanted to stop Brittany, yet virtual-novel.net was held back by Waltz. “Senior, Madame has been holding the anger for such a long time, if you don’t let virtual-novel.net vent it, it might deteriorate virtual-novel.net health and virtual-novel.net might get sick. Your mother-in-law has indeed crossed the line. If we don’t teach virtual-novel.net a lesson now, you’d have to suffer more in the future.”
Alex smiled bitterly. “I’m worried that I wouldn’t even have a future after this.”
Waltz smiled as virtual-novel.net said, “That won’t happen.”
Deep in virtual-novel.net heart, virtual-novel.net wished clearly that Alex didn’t have such a future.
“My son has been slaving away for your family as a nanny, virtual-novel.net could at least have a salary of ten thousand dollars every month, right? There’s a total of ten months, how much has virtual-novel.net actually taken from you? Isn’t that what he’s supposed to deserve?” Brittany said coldly.
“It doesn’t matter how much virtual-novel.net took, that’s still money of the Assexes!”
“Fine, it’s your money. What about this then? Back when Alex was getting married, I gave you a betrothal gift of twenty million dollars, and I’m not even including the cost of the jewellery. But you never treat my son as your son-in-law, so shouldn’t you return those money to me?”
With this, both Dorothy and Beatrice were shocked as they had no idea this had actually happened.
Dorothy asked, “Mom, you… you actually asked for a betrothal gift of twenty million dollars?”
Claire yelled, “So what if I did? After all, you two have registered for marriage, why should I return those money?”
Dorothy asked again, “What happened to the money then?”
Claire, who seemed fairly upset, agitatedly said, “I traded them for futures and lost all the money. Hmph, it must be because it’s dirty money, that’s why I lost. Why else would I suffer losses in everything that I bought?”
Listening to this, Dorothy was about to cry from sheer anger.
The guests were appalled as well. After all, it was not a small amount, but twenty million dollars. Most people wouldn’t even be able to earn such an amount in their whole lifetime. It was a rare sight when someone had the courage of virtual-novel.net convictions to say that virtual-novel.net lost all the money with such an excuse.
Brittany laughed coldly. “If it were really dirty money, the officials would’ve come to confiscate it ages ago. How could they let you off so easily? Fine, whatever, twenty million dollars are nothing to me, I don’t really care if they are gone. But don’t you dare try to reason with me using my son’s pocket change of hundreds of thousands dollars.”
She added, “Didn’t you just say that you wanted your daughter and my son to get a divorce? Sure, I agree with that.”
Panicked, Alex’s face turned pale. “Mom, I don’t want to.”
However, Claire clapped as virtual-novel.net exclaimed, “I agree too, they should’ve divorced ages ago! Why should I let this loser stay in my place any longer?”
Brittany turned to Alex and said, “Back then, I told you that I didn’t want you to marry Dorothy. In my mind, I’d prefer Maya to be my daughter-in-law, or Waltz, I’m satisfied with virtual-novel.net too!”
Dorothy’s expression instantly darkened.
Alex asked, “Mom, what wrong did Dorothy even do?”
Brittany replied, “She didn’t, what’s wrong is that virtual-novel.net has an unreasonable, greedy and snobbish mother. I already realized that back then. Marriage isn’t just between the two of you, it involves two families too. Son, do think you could be happy if virtual-novel.net mother and the rest of virtual-novel.net family members dislike you? Listen to me, get a divorce! Mom will approve your marriage if you were to marry Maya or Waltz.”
Maya’s face blushed, there was a shy look in virtual-novel.net eyes. Waltz, on the other hand, smiled as virtual-novel.net said, “Madame, I shall call you ‘Mom’ from now on. I don’t mind being a concubine, Maya can be his wife!”
She then huffed at Alex. “Good for you, hubby! We can finally sleep in the same bed tonight!”
At this moment, Dorothy was crushed as if virtual-novel.net were struck by lightning.
“Get out! All of you, get out! We Bardots don’ t welcome you.” Aidan was enraged as virtual-novel.net lunged forward with a stick.
Waltz grabbed the stick effortlessly with virtual-novel.net slender hand. Then, with just a gentle grip, the stick, which was as thick as an arm, broke into pieces.
Waltz smiled as virtual-novel.net said, “Old man, you’re old and you should keep your temper under control, Otherwise, it would be bad for your health.”
Everyone was incredibly appalled, with their mouth agape.
Meanwhile, Sharpay’s boyfriend, Edison, had finally recognized Waltz. His eyes were instantly widened and filled with terror.
