CHAPTER 5-THIS TIME I AM GOING TO SHUT EVERYONE UP!

Katty seemed unable to stay where she was. She kept clenching her hands together as she heard her brother-in-law's words. She really couldn't afford to pay 100 million dollars, especially considering her husband's condition. Katty was sure that this was just Lucky's plan to humiliate her husband.

"Lucky, Joseph and I can't possibly give 100 million dollars for Dad's heart transplant surgery, we don't have enough money." Katty said. Katty was sure that this was just Lucky's plan to humiliate her and her husband.

"Lucky, Joseph and I can't possibly give 100 million dollars for Dad's heart transplant surgery, we don't have enough money," Katty said. In desperation, she finally confessed. After all, 100 million dollars was too much for her and her husband.

"Yes, from the beginning I was sure that your savings would not be enough, even to pay half of it. Especially your husband, I'm sure he has no money in his account at all. So poor!" said Lucky contemptuously to Joseph. He looked at Joseph with a look of contempt. 

"Katty, if you and your husband don't pay for Dad's surgery, you will be a disobedient child. Not only you, but your husband as well. He's a man, but he can't even make money. Look at my husband, he's handsome and good at earning money. Not like your useless husband who you're always defending." Jenny interrupted her husband's words. Instead of getting angry, Lucky smiled contemptuously at his wife's words. The husband and wife were the same, equally annoying and ignorant, ungrateful to be more precise.

"Did you hear what Jenny and Lucky said, Katty? Your husband is useless, even in times of need, he's unreliable. Why would you keep him?" said Mr. Patrick Smith, Mr. Barta Smith's younger brother, who also insulted Joseph. 

Katty felt unfair for living and surviving in such a toxic family environment. Where was her family that she loved so much in the past?

Joseph who heard the insults about himself from the people in front of him made his hands clenched into fists, his jaw also hardened. It seemed like Joseph was fed up with all the insults he heard. Maybe he used to be able to accept. However, when he now saw Katty who was almost crying, he had second thoughts about telling her who he was. However, Joseph again decided against it. 

"Calm down, Joseph! Now is not the right time," said the man in his heart. He tried to control his emotions as he was eager to tell the men that he alone could even empty the entire hospital for his father-in-law. 

"It's true what you heard, Katty. What are you keeping your useless husband for? Can't give you children, has no income, is mostly a burden on the family, why is he still so precious in your eyes?" Jenny said again. Having already insulted Joseph enough, now the woman was back at her younger sibling. 

"Jenny, that's enough, you've gone too far!" Katty could no longer stand the insults from her family, especially Jenny and Lucky.

Katty was eager to get back at her outrageous sister. However, a large palm grabbed her wrist. Joseph deliberately did that so that Katty would not lose control and make matters worse. After all, he was also used to being insulted by his wife's family.

"Why, Katty, let me tell you. The difference between my husband and yours is like earth and sky. My husband is very rich and has everything, so he is respected by people. You don't need to explain. Everyone knows about your poor husband." Jenny insulted Joseph even more.

Jenny, Lucky, and the other Smiths were heard laughing and chuckling at this. Most of them flashed their mocking smiles at Joseph.

"Lucky, you just asked us for 100 million dollars for our father-in-law's surgery, right? No need for 100 million dollars, I can even pay for the whole thing, 300 million dollars!" Joseph said firmly when all was quiet.

"HAHA!" There was thunderous laughter from the entire Smith family in the hospital waiting room. Some of the people there were laughing quite loudly. They seemed to have forgotten that they were in a hospital.

"What did you say? You want to pay for everything? Haha! Where are you going to get that much money from? Are you going to become a thief? You won't be able to get it!" Lucky laughed the loudest. He really couldn't believe what he was hearing from Joseph. In his mind, what he heard was Joseph's joke. The joke made Lucky laugh so hard. It was also felt by other members of the Smith family.

"Honey, what are you saying? You want to pay for everything? Where are you going to get that much money. I only have 500 dollars in my savings." Katty whispered while pulling her husband's arm. The woman whispered while looking at the rest of her family with fear. She was afraid that her husband would become a joke with a new topic later. It wasn't that she was ashamed, it was just that Katty wouldn't accept it if someone kept insulting her husband.

"'Calm down, Honey. I'm not lying. This time, I won't make you the butt of jokes them. So, you just keep quiet and see." Joseph replied to his wife's whisper.

Katty who heard that instantly became her even though she was feeling anxious. She couldn't believe her husband would get that much money. It was good if he got the money right, but what if Joseph stole it? Katty did not want her husband to do that. 

After all, the one set of jewelry that she got from her husband, Joseph said that he won it in the lottery. So, Katty thought that Joseph would never be able to get that much money, especially in such a short time.

"Honey, you're not joking?" asked Katty in disbelief.

"No. I'm not joking. This time I'm going to shut everyone up!" said Joseph. His eyes silently glared at the Smith family members who were currently still laughing at him.
