"People say that after marriage fortune will flow more smoothly. But what is this? Not only is there no fortune, but my life is becoming more miserable by the day!" Arista, Felix's wife, washes the dishes so roughly that it makes a loud noise.

"I'm sick of living like this! Having a husband is completely useless. Working from morning to evening, being exposed to heat and rain, even getting ugly, but still not earning anything!" Arista continued to speak angrily. Her loud voice went along with the clinking of the plates on the shelf with a slight stomp. Even the running water splashed everywhere. "My life is unlucky! Bad husband, can't make any money, the house is like a pigsty, ah, how horrible life is!"

Felix, who was eating, could no longer stand Arista's ramblings. He took the last bite of his cracker and raised his gaze to stare at the back of the woman who was his wife. "Arista, can't you do the work without talking?"

"No!" snapped Arista as she rubbed the pot vigorously, making random loud noises.

Felix closed his eyes for a moment and stood up. "I've worked hard enough so far, but why are you never satisfied? Every day you just keep blabbering and calling me incompetent. Aren't you embarrassed to have your words heard by the neighbors?"

With that, Arista put down the pot she was holding threw down the dishwashing sponge, and turned around. She looked at Felix with angry eyes. "Working hard? Felix, I'm telling you, working hard isn't enough! You also have to rely on your brain to make more money! Look, you work until you're blue in the face, but what's the result? Nothing!"

"I'm not at all embarrassed if the neighbors hear my words. After all, that's the truth. Why, are you embarrassed?" Arista was getting worse and worse. She did not look like she was talking to a husband.

"At least we can eat our fill," said Felix, who was still trying to contain his emotions. He didn't want any fuss on such an early day. "You know yourself, finding a job is hard. We're lucky enough to have a house and never lack for rice."

"But that's not enough!" cried Arista. She took a step forward, stared at Felix with a glare, and then pointed boldly at his face. "Do you think life is just about eating and sleeping? No! I also need vacations, fancy jewelry, and cars. Felix, if I'd known you'd end up like this, I wouldn't have wanted to marry you!"

"Enough, Arista!" snapped Felix. His face was flushed with his jaw hardened to the point that the veins in his neck were visible.

With clenched fists, he said, "I'll pretend I never heard anything from you today. Just like before."

After that, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen after picking up the brown hat that lay on the dining table.

Seeing him leave so casually, Arista became even more furious. She ran after him and shouted, "I hate you! A husband who is incapable of making his wife happy! In your little brain, you only know how to eat and sleep, and that doesn't reflect the attitude of a responsible man! If I could turn back time, I would never want to know and marry you, poor Felix!"

But Felix didn't care at all. He put on his hat and walked out of the house. And when he reached the terrace, he found the neighbors already standing in his yard.

His gaze became cold.

He looked at them warningly.

The gossiping mothers immediately dispersed when they saw Felix's terrifying figure. But before leaving, they still had time to whisper to each other to make fun of Felix.

"If you have enough free time, I will voluntarily teach you what it means to whisper and how to do it," Felix said flatly.

With that, everyone no longer dared to be outside. They immediately entered their respective houses and closed the doors tightly.

"You bastards," muttered Felix as he casually walked away.

After being laid off five years ago due to the bankruptcy of the company he worked for, he had been working odd jobs.

Anything, as long as he could make money, Felix accepted.

And now, there happened to be a project in one of the big housing estates. He worked there as a manual laborer.

The location was not too far away, but it took about 20 minutes to reach by foot.

After a while of walking, accompanied by the condescending looks of the people around him who knew him, Felix finally arrived at his workplace.

"Wow, our manual laborer has finally arrived!" A man sitting at the back of a barstool freight car greeted Felix's arrival.

Several other men immediately turned their heads when they heard this. They laughed with a scornful look.

"Woi, Felix, quickly go to your place! We've been waiting for you for a long time! If this keeps up, this project will take forever to finish!" shouted a man standing on top of a half-finished building.

Felix looked up and nodded, then took a small jog towards the equipment storage area.

A man approached Felix, who was wearing a safety helmet. He tapped him on the shoulder and said seriously. "You should buy a vehicle so you can get to work quickly. There is no need to live too frugally. You should make yourself happy with your hard work once in a while."

"Right," said a man who had just arrived. He pretended to tidy up a pile of workers' safety vests and when he saw Felix about to leave, he quickly followed. "If you don't have enough money, you can borrow some from us. There's no need to be shy, we're friends. Of course, if you don't have money, you can come to us."

There was nothing strange about the words, but their tone was insulting.

Felix spontaneously stopped his steps and looked at the two men on his right and left. "Thank you for the offer. However, I'd rather not buy anything if it's borrowed."

With that, he resumed his steps at a slightly faster pace. Reluctant to engage those who loved to bring up the same topic, money.

He had lived this kind of life for a long time, so he was no longer affected by such things.

So what if you don't have a lot of money? Does that sound embarrassing?

Do they think Felix doesn't want money? Felix wanted to. He wanted to be rich, but there was no power, he was only given this.

"Sigh, what's the point of being so arrogant?" The man on the right clucked sarcastically and walked away.

As for the other man, he was annoyed by Felix's arrogance, which he found very annoying. So he shouted, "Felix, you're poor enough as it is, don't be so pretentious! There's nothing wrong with borrowing money as long as you don't look too pathetic!"

This brought laughter from some of the workers.

Felix was not bothered at all.

He made his way to the cement mixer and set about his task diligently. However, while digging in the sand, he noticed something shiny. Out of curiosity, he put down his tools and picked it up, which turned out to be a ring with a ruby-red stone.

  • Second Session

    The courtroom felt heavier this time, and the visitor seats were filled with people. This was obvious because the previous hearing had attracted much attention, especially from the media.When the Chief Justice banged his gavel, opening the continuation of the trial, everyone spontaneously closed their mouths and watched in a tense atmosphere."Today's hearing will discuss two points: the poisoning case of Mr. Felix Pratama's family and the parties allegedly hidden by the defendant, Mr. Lucien. The court also notes Mr. Avery's accidental statement at the previous hearing. Plaintiff, please begin," said the Chief Justice firmly.Attorney Bo immediately stood up and opened his file. "Your Honor, the forensic laboratory test results prove that Caitlin, Mr. Felix Pratama's sister, and all the workers in his house were poisoned with thallium sulfate. This poison works slowly, causing nerve damage, and is consistent with the symptoms experienced by all the victims. This poison had been spre

    "Chloe!" Clarita immediately sat down next to the coffin that revealed Chloe's pale face and cried hysterically.She rubbed the coffin's lid and hugged it, as if hugging her sister's cold body.Austin approached and sat down next to her, crying silently."Chloe, why should it be you?" At first, Clarita could hold herself together because deep down she still had high hopes that Chloe hadn't really left her.But after seeing her stiff and pale body, Clarita felt helpless. Her heart was broken, she couldn't accept it, and she was angry.She pounded on the coffin lid and continued to wail, questioning the injustice that Chloe had suffered.In Felix's arms, Caitlin squirmed, asking to be put down.Felix carefully put her down without saying a word.Caitlin immediately ran to the side facing Clarita and stared intently at Chloe.Her round eyes blinked, holding back the tears that were about to spill. Her lips trembled, trying her best not to cry. "Sister, I love you.""Sleep peacefully. See

  • Tell a story

    “How terrifying,” Clarita muttered, unable to stop herself from shuddering in horror.Living under someone’s watch for years was already terrifying, let alone being threatened at such a young age.Thinking about how difficult it must have been for Austin all this time filled Clarita’s gaze with pity. “Why didn’t you try asking your father for help?”"You don't understand." Austin shook his head slowly with a sigh. "They used to be on the same side.""In the past, Daddy worked on this project with Uncle Ray, who was later replaced by Lucien. The project failed, but Daddy didn't immediately remove Lucien from his life. Daddy knew Lucien was dangerous, but he had no intention of taking precautions. Why do you think Lucien can move so freely with so many bodyguards?" "Isn't it because he used to be a famous professor?" Clarita guessed."If that's the case, why is he still after the Pratama family's fortune?" Ardo replied, refuting Clarita's guess.The two of them then looked deep in thou

  • The beginning

    Felix glanced at Austin and saw his face still clouded with fear, but he was trying to be strong. "I won't let him hurt anyone else.""But we don't know where his people are." Austin stopped walking and looked at Felix seriously. "He must have a lot of backup plans.""You can't let your guard down."Felix stopped too and returned his gaze. "I know."Austin's thin eyebrows furrowed in dissatisfaction. "You shouldn't have let the trial continue. There should be a decision today. He should be punished, not continue the investigation. What if there are changes in the next trial?"Hearing his worried words, Felix's heart sank.His gaze at Austin became angry. "I'm still strong enough to face them. There's no need for a little kid like you to worry."He then continued walking towards the car.Austin ran after him because Felix's steps were so long and hurried."Felix!" Austin shouted, exhausted.Just as Felix opened the car door, he stopped and turned around. "You can't even run this far. Y

  • Trial Continues

    Even if he had to fall, hit his head, and die, Jareth had no regrets as long as the object did not fall into Felix's hands.So he immediately straightened up and gritted his teeth, attacking Felix even more fiercely to retrieve the object.The Chief Justice banged his gavel because the situation was not conducive. The sound of cameras clicking echoed, capturing the moment.Attorney Bo's expression immediately turned grim, and he shouted, "The perpetrator is trying to destroy evidence! He attacked the victim's family and wants to destroy the strong evidence that is key to today's trial!"The Chief Justice looked at several police officers standing guard, and they immediately ran to arrest Jareth, handcuffing him so he couldn't do anything more dangerous.He was seated in a chair and guarded by police on both sides."Play the recording!" ordered the Chief Judge.The officer took Felix's flash drive and did his job.Everyone waited with bated breath.Lucien's hand on his thigh clenched t

  • Statement

    The Justice nodded to Attorney Bo."Go ahead, ask your question."Attorney Bo stared intently at Panther. "State your identity to the court."Panther did not answer immediately.He swallowed hard. Nervousness and fear made his throat feel constricted.He didn't dare look at Jareth, let alone Lucien, who had been staring at him intently, like a wild animal that had found its prey."My name is Panther. I am one of the people who used to work under Mr. Lucien," Panther finally said.The room was noisy, with several people whispering loudly. The Chief Justice banged his gavel. "Quiet! This trial must not turn into a marketplace!""Mr. Panther, can you explain the defendant's involvement to the court?" asked Attorney Bo.Panther swallowed again, then clenched his fists tightly and spoke more clearly. "About a month ago, I received a direct order from Mr. Lucien. He wanted me to terrorize Mr. Felix through his closest friend. This was only the initial plan. However, it wasn't easy to carry
