After Flynn sent the location to Orion, he saw Catherine riding on top of Jessica, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she held the check.
His gaze turned cold in an instant, and he swiftly rushed forward. Just then, a worried shout suddenly echoed.
“Mom!”
Reed ran out from the main hall and pushed Catherine away.
“Ouch! You useless trash, how dare you hit me? Today, I’ll smash your face to pieces!”
Catherine fell to the ground, got up, and stuffed the check into her pocket. She cursed and reached out to scratch Reed’s face.
“You crazy woman, get away from me!” Reed’s face filled with anger as he forcefully pushed her away.
Catherine, who was holding onto Reed’s collar, stumbled backward and tore Reed’s clothes.
“You worthless man, who can’t even afford three dishes in a lifetime. If I don’t break your legs today, I won’t share the same surname as you!” Catherine sat on the ground and cursed loudly.
“Catherine, I’ve tolerated you for a long time!” Reed’s nostrils flared, and he was about to slap Catherine.
“Try laying a hand on her,” a voice filled with hostility said.
“Corey, the owner of Canics Freight, is here!”
Someone shouted, and the courtyard fell silent. The onlooking villagers involuntarily shrunk their necks.
A man wearing a large gold chain walked in.
Bald, protruding belly, a face full of pockmarks, he exuded a fierce and ferocious aura.
His aura seemed innate, as if he was born with that appearance, making people feel intimidated when they got closer.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
A dozen henchmen wielding iron rods followed him, tapping the ground as they walked, producing a dull metallic sound.
A murderous aura instantly enveloped the courtyard.
When Corey entered, Reed’s raised hand froze in mid-air, and then he reluctantly lowered it.
“Why aren’t you hitting me anymore? Want to try something now?” Catherine raised her face provocatively, sneering.
Reed stared at Catherine intently, his tightly clenched fist slowly loosening.
“Smack!”
Catherine slapped him.
“You’re just a coward who only dares to shout when no one is around. Now that Corey is here, why don’t you show your teeth?” she taunted with a cold smile.
Reed’s anger surged again, but after his gaze fell on Corey, it quickly subsided.
The opponent had more people and a stronger force. How could he possibly win?
If he were to slap Catherine, he would not only be beaten himself but also bring harm to his mother!
“Corey, do you know what this is?” Catherine patted the dust off her bottom and hugged Corey’s waist, showing off the check.
“Thirty million! Where did it come from?” Corey’s eyes narrowed, a glimmer of greed appearing.
Catherine looked smug. “Money from selling the jade pendant, that despicable woman.”
“Let’s make it clear. this money is mine, and I’ll be in charge of it after we get married.”
“Hahaha! Fine!” Corey pinched Catherine’s raised buttocks tightly and laughed, “I won’t touch this money. Buy whatever you want with it.”
“And after we finish today’s business, I’ll take you to buy a diamond ring!”
“Really?” Catherine was excited, she hugged Corey’s chubby face and kissed him, acting coquettishly, “Corey, you’re the best! I’ll take good care of you tonight!”
Corey couldn’t help but smirk, “How about something exciting tonight? I’ve already bought ropes and essential oils.”
“Oh, you’re so naughty!” Catherine lightly tapped Corey’s chest, pretending to be angry, “My butt still hurts from yesterday’s whipping, and today you want to use the ropes. So naughty!”
“Naughty?” Corey laughed heartily, his eyes full of lust as he said, “But you enjoyed it, didn’t you? You even said it was amazing!”
“Who do you think is more amazing, me or your husband?”
Catherine lay in Corey’s arms and coquettishly said, “Of course, you’re amazing! You almost drove me to heaven with your antics!”
Listening to their shameless teasing, Reed’s anger surged, and his whole body trembled with rage.
“Catherine, Reed hasn’t divorced you yet!”
“In front of so many people, can’t you be more shameless? Are you that shameless?” Jessica yelled.
Catherine’s face was full of disdain as she sneered, “Oh! Are you angry now? Get as angry as you want! I hope you die of anger, you despicable woman!”
“I’m your daughter-in-law, what’s wrong with me spending your 30, 000 dollars? If you scold me, you deserve to die!”
Hearing this, Jessica almost had a heart attack. She pointed at Catherine and scolded, “Catherine, are you so heartless to say such things?”
“That 30, 000 dollars is hard-earned money that I saved to pay off debts!”
“You spent it all in one night at the bar, let everyone judge, is that the right thing to do?”
Catherine, however, felt no remorse and disdainfully said, “In the end, you’re just a poor loser!”
“If you’re so poor, why did you even bother raising a daughter-in-law?”
“To tell you the truth, I started seeing Corey a year ago. When you both went out to work, we did it in the house over a hundred times!”
“Not only that, I’ve even miscarried twice for Corey!”
“I want to infuriate you, to make you not give me money, to make you scold me!”
What!
They started a year ago.
Doing shameless things in the house!
Over a hundred times?!
And she even miscarried twice for that man!
“Animal! What kind of sin did my family commit to end up with a despicable creature like you?” Jessica was struck as if by lightning and almost fainted.
“Catherine, you wicked woman! Our family treated you so well, and you do such shameless things. Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?”
Reed’s eyes turned bloodshot, wishing he could tear Catherine into pieces.
“Treated me well? If you treated me well, you wouldn’t be stingy with money! If you treated me well, you would worship me like an ancestor!”
“The whole family is a bunch of useless poor losers. How dare you scold me?”
“You useless waste! Did you not expect that you were cuckolded a year ago?”
“Who told your mother to scold me? I told you to hit her, but you didn’t. You deserve it!”
Catherine shamelessly pointed at Reed and laughed, “Everyone, come and see, the cuckolded man! Hahaha…”
Corey had a lecherous smile on his face as he said, “Catherine, since you brought it up, I think the time in the courtyard was more enjoyable.”
“When you leaned against the jujube tree, that moaning sound, tsk tsk…”
“And another time, when your mother-in-law was sleeping in the house, the time in the east room, that was fucking great!”
Boom!
Jessica heard these words and felt like the world was spinning, collapsing in despair.
“Mom!” Reed held Jessica in his arms and pleaded with Corey, “Please, give us a way to survive. I’m begging you!”
Corey looked at Reed, his eyes full of hatred, and sneered, “Catherine, this guy looks like a complete idiot. You’re so beautiful, why did you marry him?”
Catherine coldly snorted, “It’s all for that jade pendant. When the antique dealer said it was worth three million, I was right there.”
“Otherwise, would I marry this useless waste? A loser who can’t even earn 2, 000 dollars a month!”
“But Jessica is a bit smart. No matter how I deceive her, she refuses to give me the jade pendant.”
“So I have no choice but to tear our relationship apart!”
