“Jessica, you finally came back. Catherine came with people and ransacked our house at noon!”
Neighbor Janiya rushed in, her face filled with fear as she shouted.
Boom!
Upon hearing this, Reed’s eyes widened in anger, he clenched his fists and roared, “Catherine is trying to kill me! She had a fight with my mother, pushed her onto a rock, and broke her spine.”
“Now she’s here to tear our house apart. I won’t let her off today!”
“Reed, stop right there!” Jessica’s anger flared up, and she shouted with excitement.
Upon hearing Reed’s words, Matteo’s brain exploded with anger, and he said resentfully, “Jessica, I thought your daughter-in-law was just unfilial, but I didn’t expect her to be so despicable, injuring your spine and smashing the house!”
“Doesn’t she want to live anymore?”
A cold chill flickered in Flynn’s eyes.
Ms. Carr’s spine was actually injured by her daughter-in-law!
Jessica cried out, “Matteo, let’s not hide it anymore. Catherine has someone else outside. She’s been fighting with Reed for the past two months, wanting a divorce.”
“Reed agreed to the divorce on the condition that she returns the dowry, but Catherine not only refused, but also wants to take the jade pendant given by Adrianna!”
“What?” Matteo angrily exclaimed, “When did your family wrong her?”
“She wanted to buy over ten thousand worth of cosmetics, and since you didn’t have the money, she borrowed from you.”
“What does she want to eat? Even if she’s hungry in the middle of the night, you would get up and cook for her.”
“You can’t even bring yourself to buy a piece of clothing throughout the year, still wearing cheap clothes from a few years ago, and she spends thousands on brand names.”
“She clearly doesn’t have the financial means, yet she goes to the city’s bars every day, staying out until late at night!”
“She’s lazy, doesn’t even know how to cook a meal, only orders takeout, acting like a queen at home. Isn’t she satisfied?”
Matteo listed Catherine’s crimes, growing more and more agitated, his eyes burning with fury.
Jessica wailed, “She despises my poor family! She insults us and says we’re beneath her.”
“Recently, she met a man at a bar, the owner of a freight company, and she’s no longer interested in Reed.”
“Matteo, I’m furious!”
Matteo felt both heartache and helplessness.
During their college years, Jessica had a fiery temper and wouldn’t tolerate any nonsense. If it were in the past, she would have beaten Catherine up multiple times.
But she was their daughter-in-law!
Their family wasn’t wealthy, and it wasn’t easy to find a daughter-in-law.
Reed was almost thirty, and another divorce would likely leave him single!
Despite feeling aggrieved, Jessica could only endure.
But what are the consequences of enduring?
The other party becomes more audacious and carries on with their misconduct during the marriage.
Reed could only agree to the divorce, but Catherine wants to take away the jade pendant worth three million!
Unscrupulous!
The cries in the courtyard alarmed the neighbors.
Everyone gathered outside, sympathizing with Jessica and her son.
“Jessica has had a hard life. Her husband passed away more than twenty years ago, and she finally endured until her son got married, only to have a daughter-in-law who doesn’t live properly!”
“Who doesn’t say that? Jessica treats Catherine like her own daughter, giving her whatever she wants. Look at the world, where else can you find such a good mother-in-law?”
“Jessica used to be strong-willed and had a fiery temper. Men didn’t dare to provoke her. But in recent years, she’s been insulted by her daughter-in-law, yet she can only secretly wipe away her tears outside the front door. I feel so sorry for her!”
“That Catherine is truly despicable. Reed has agreed to the divorce, yet she wants to bring a man to the house and destroy things. She’s so shameless!”
“Oh my goodness, don’t say it so loudly! She’s seeing a man who owns a freight company, and he has more than ten thugs under him. He’s involved in the underworld! If he hears this, your house will also end up like this!”
As they discussed, their voices naturally lowered, fear and trepidation evident in their eyes.
Flynn’s face turned dark, and he turned to Reed, saying, “What’s the name of that freight company?”
“It’s called Canics Freight. Flynn, what are you planning to do?” Reed wiped away his tears and asked.
He was crying due to Catherine’s shamelessness.
Flynn squinted his eyes, “I’ll go talk to him!”
Matteo’s heart skipped a beat, quickly grabbing Flynn, “Flynn, I’ll handle the communication, you can’t go!”
What’s Flynn’s personality like?
He’s fiercely anti-evil!
Regardless of the other person’s background, he’s ready to roll up his sleeves and take action.
If this kid goes over there, he’ll definitely turn the world upside down.
Reed also said, “Flynn, Corey Barrett in the Prilak South District of Niarak is a small tyrant, and his dozens of followers are not to be underestimated. We can’t compete with them!”
Jessica took out a jade pendant and forcefully handed it to Flynn, saying, “Flynn, this is the jade pendant your mother gave you. Catherine must have come for it today. Hurry up and take it and leave this place.”
“But if they take it, we won’t be able to get it back!”
The jade pendant was clear and translucent, warm and smooth, with a carved dragon and phoenix on the front.
“Ms. Carr, don’t worry. No one can take away what my mother gave you!” Flynn caressed the jade pendant, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Matteo urged, “Let’s not discuss these matters for now. Quickly pack your things. I’ll find a place for you and your son to hide!”
“Jessica, sit in the courtyard and wait. Reed and I will go inside to pack your clothes!”
After saying that, he pulled Reed into the house.
Flynn helped Jessica sit down and turned away.
He took out his phone and dialed Orion’s number.
Since Mr. Kaur didn’t believe in his abilities, he would bring Orion over and lead him to Canics Freight.
Mr. Kaur shouldn’t stop him then!
“Boss!”
The call connected, and Orion’s voice came through.
“Do you know Corey, the owner of Canics Freight?”
“Canics Freight? Corey? What’s that? Boss, why are you asking about this? I only deal with companies worth over a hundred billion in market value. I don’t know about those small rundown factories!”
“Don’t know?” Flynn was taken aback and then thought for a moment. He said, “Then I’ll send you the address. Bring a hundred thugs with you.”
Orion immediately got excited and said, “Boss, someone has offended you? Great! I’ll pick a hundred followers and bring some weapons over!”
“Yes! The stronger, the better. I want to dismantle Canics Freight!” Flynn hung up and sent the location to him.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.
“Oh my god! Catherine has brought people to cause trouble again!”
Seven or eight vans quickly stopped at the entrance, and a heavily made-up, seductive woman rushed out of the car first.
She ran into the courtyard and pounced on Jessica like a vicious dog, one hand gripping her neck and the other rummaging through her pockets.
“You bitch! I’ve turned this place upside down and still haven’t found that jade pendant. Where did you hide it?”
“If you don’t hand it over today, I’ll kill you!”
“Hmm? What’s this? A check? Oh my god! Thirty million! Were you afraid I’d steal the jade pendant, so you secretly sold it?”
“That jade pendant is worth more than three million, and it’s actually worth thirty million! Haha… I’m going to get rich!”
