Everyone immediately turned to Matthew and looked at him thoughtfully. This time, it was Anthony who stood up to ask. He tried to make his brother's family bear the shame at least once in a lifetime."You said you already know where the painting is? Are you saying that it was actually tucked away somewhere and we all weren't careful enough when we checked?" Anthony took a long breath and said again, "Matthew, you can't be kidding! Yesterday you said that it was stolen, and now you're saying that you know where it is? Do you want to play us with your carelessness?"It wasn't just Anthony who expected his brother's family to be embarrassed, but also his wife. Michelle also felt neglected during her time as the Huxley family's daughter-in-law, not only because of trust but also because she received less money.The villa where Grandma lived also became a residence for Desmond and his small family, which would later be owned by Desmond and his small family. Meanwhile, Anthony got a villa o

Laura was stunned to see who had dared to slap her cheek. She rubbed her now burning cheeks, and her eyes glared at Miss Bennet."You slapped me?" asked Laura in a trembling voice."You deserve it, Miss Huxley! You're the one who cheated on your husband, but you're not self-aware and keep blaming others. As a woman, you're really low and have no self-respect!" exclaimed Sharon, who couldn't hold back her emotions anymore.Laura was still staring at her sharply, not accepting the slap Sharon Bennet had given her. 'Damn it! She's making a fuss, apparently!'"What other reward do you deserve other than a slap from me?" asked Sharon harshly.Laura snorted in annoyance. She wanted to kick the woman's ass, but seeing Sharon's demeanor, her courage suddenly shrank. Especially now that Sharon was standing with her arms folded in front of her chest and her face turned up.Moreover, Laura knew Sharon Bennet greatly influenced the Northern Coastal. She suddenly remembered what Grandma had said a

Danny glanced at the rearview mirror and let out a long breath. Laura was finally out of sight.He actually felt sorry for Laura when she got spanked in public. Her parents had always spoiled her, and Danny continued serving her throughout their marriage."Sharon, you don't have to slap Laura again next time. Whatever happens between me and Laura has nothing to do with you! You don't need to interfere!" commanded Danny, still concentrating on driving. His eyes were staring straight ahead and not looking at Sharon at all.Sharon glanced at Danny briefly. She could guess that her Boss still had feelings for his ex-wife; it was just that Danny was too hurt by her."I understand, Boss." Sharon paused momentarily and said again, "I'm sorry. I just can't stand his attitude and the harsh words that don't deserve to be said. Aren't you angry or resentful of him for this?"Danny only looked back at her momentarily and then returned to concentrating on driving. "Hate or love is for me to know."

Entering Grandma's Villa was not a new experience for Danny, even though he had previously lived in Laura's parents' house. However, Danny often visited Grandma's house to care for Choco and clean his cage, so he was familiar with the building.Upon entering the living room, Danny saw the Huxley family gathered there. On one side of the living room were five muscular men with tattoos and menacing expressions, staring at him as if they wanted to kill him.Danny knew they were all thugs or hired thugs, possibly hired by one of the Huxley family members to force him to confess that he was the thief of the calligraphy painting.As Danny watched them quietly, one of them stood up. He was the oldest and had the sternest face; Danny guessed he was their leader.Unexpectedly, the man approached and tried to hug Danny, asking how he was doing. But Danny stepped back, furrowing his brows."Hey Danny, have you forgotten me? I'm Victor Raines.""Victor Raines?" Danny repeated the name softly, his

"Choco, come here!" Danny called, causing the dog to break away from one of the thugs.Danny didn't feel sorry for the guy, but he thought of Choco. What if the thug had a gun and hurt the cute dog? Choco obediently ran to Danny while the other hooligans helped their partner.Although all four had been injured, they could still stand upright per Victor Reines' instructions.Now, they attacked Danny from four directions. Even though they were injured, they were all still strong. It looked like they were all trained fighters. They could even move without making a sound.But they still lost to Danny. Laura's ex-husband turned around and didn't give them a chance to hit him. The four hooligans fell hard and made a thudding sound. One of them hit his head on the edge of the table and was injured, and his vision began to blur.Two of Victor's men were now badly injured and unable to move. While the other two could still move, at the sight of Danny, they had second thoughts about whether or
