Tony furrowed his brows. The harbor? Michelle was at the harbor? What was she doing there?“You want me to rush to the harbor now and do something for Michelle?” Tony asked sarcastically.[Yes. Hurry. Before it’s too late.]Tony considered it for a moment, trying to guess what could be happening with Michelle at the harbor. Maybe she was trying to end it all?But even if that was true, why should he care?“You go to the harbor. Whatever happens to Michelle is no longer my problem,” Tony snapped coldly.[What?!]Tony ended the call. He had to draw the line this time. People needed to know where his boundaries were.So when Jessica called again, he immediately hit the “reject” button.His business with Michelle was done. She was out of his life, and that was final.Tony’s phone buzzed again. He was about to hit “reject” once more, but hesitated when he saw his wife’s name on the screen.With a sigh, he pressed “accept” and brought the phone to his ear.“What’s up, Jade?”[Tony, Josephin

Shania sprang from her seat, her eyes wide with shock."Mr. Gary, who are these people? Did you invite them in?" Shania demanded, staring at Gary incredulously."Shut your mouth, Shania! Whatever happens in this room must not be leaked. Do you understand?" Gary snapped.Shania's eyes darted nervously to the thugs, her legs trembling. She gripped the back of her chair to steady herself.Frank, meanwhile, was still grimacing in pain as he struggled to remove the folding knife embedded in his right thigh."Is this a showroom waiting area or a fighting arena?" Tony jeered."Shut up, you son of a bitch! You've used up all your chances to talk. You're finished," Gary retorted.Tony smirked, casting a disdainful look at the thugs. They underestimated him, a mistake they would soon regret."Mr. Tony, I’m sorry. I didn’t—"Tony raised his left hand, cutting off Shania's words."Sit back down and close your eyes. No matter what happens, keep your eyes shut until I give you a signal," Tony instr

Tony furrowed his brow. Gary? It took him a few seconds to realize that Hubbert Long was referring to the former director of the GAA showroom—the same guy who had just sent thugs into the waiting room to rough him up.Tony’s eyes focused forward again. So, these men were sent by Gary to mess with him once more? Some kind of revenge? Was Gary still not satisfied even after getting fired by Hubbert Long earlier?As Tony contemplated this, the men dressed in all black continued closing in. Their faces were fierce.Tony glanced behind him, checking if there was a chance to turn around or back out. Not that he was scared or anything; he just wanted to get to Vermaen Hospital as quickly as his wife had asked.Honestly, taking down these goons would be easy for Tony, but he didn’t know what might be waiting for him after. He suspected Gary had more of his people stationed at other points around this intersection.Then, spotting a gap wide enough for his nimble new car, Tony released the hand

“Mom, what are you saying? Why would you say something like that?” Jade snapped at Sasha, annoyed.“Why? Does the thought of me licking my own feet make you sick? Well, that’s never going to happen, Julia. This loser here is just bragging about buying you a car. He doesn’t even have savings. Acting all high and mighty as if he’s going to replace your damaged car!” Sasha spat bitterly.She then turned to Tony again, pointing toward the door.“Get out right now! I’m sick of seeing you in here!” she demanded.Jade sighed, but unlike before, she didn’t defend Tony as she usually did.Meanwhile, Josephine eyed Tony with a look that was difficult to read.Unlike the others, Josephine suspected that Tony wasn’t as pathetic as he seemed.If Tony could cover all the hospital expenses when Jade and Esther were hospitalized, it wasn’t impossible that he could afford to buy a car to replace Jade’s damaged one.But even if Tony did buy a car for Jade, Josephine was convinced it would be a cheap on

“Mom, what are you doing? Why did you slap Tony?”“Be quiet, Jade! It’s about time I taught that insolent son-in-law of mine a lesson!”“But you didn’t have to slap him, Mom.”“He deserved it. He deserved to be slapped repeatedly. How dare he tell me to lick my own feet!”Tony clicked his tongue in frustration but managed a wry smile. His mother-in-law was indeed insane, and it seemed there was nothing he could do to change that.After all, the idea of licking her own feet had come from Sasha. Now she was acting as though the idea had come from Scott and Scott had rudely instructed him to do it.Ring! Ring!Jade’s phone rang.“Who’s calling?” Sasha asked.“Josephine,” Jade replied, then answered the call.[Where have you been? It’s been ages.]“We’re still in the hospital parking lot. What’s up?”[Come back quickly. Grandma is losing patience waiting for you.]“Ah, okay. We’re heading there now.”The call ended. Jade slipped her phone back into her pocket.“What’s going on?” Sasha ask
