CHAPTER 1

"Young Master, the Shalford Family is in great trouble.

Please go back.

"Yes, Young Master Andrew, the entire family is counting on you."

"The old patriarch said that if you return, the position of family head will be yours"

In front of Andrew was a sleek black Rolls-Royce, with several elderly men standing at the door, their faces filled with pleading.

Andrew, on the other hand, was wearing flip-flops and carrying four large bags of vegetables, looking at the scene in front of him expressionlessly.

"Go back You only think of asking me to return now?"

Andrew snorted coldly.

He could never forget the scene of being kicked out of the Shalford Family.

Now that the Shalford Family was in trouble, they came to beg him.

"Get lost as far as you can!"

"Andrew, why are you always so slow? You've been gone for so long just to buy vegetables?"

As soon as he got home, Andrew saw his mother-in-law Salome sitting on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds with an impatient look on her face.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I ran into something on the way."

"Stop making excuses. What can a parasite like you possibly have to deal with? Even if you were just resting on the way, can't you see what time it is? Do you want to starve us all to death? No wonder everyone says you're useless, you can't even handle such a small matter!"

Salome threw the sunflower seeds on the table to the ground and pointed at Andrew, cursing loudly.

"Go and cook, and sweep the floor."

"Yes, yes..."

Andrew didn't say anything, just bowed his head and went back to the kitchen with the bags.

The Adams Family was a second-rate family in Mali.

Five years ago, Andrew was brought back to the Adams Family in a coma and Jaxon personally organized the wedding.

The wedding caused a sensation throughout Asia, and the reason, of course, was Asia's number one beauty, Eleanor, who married a useless person picked up by the Adams Family.

The Beauty and the Dog Poop is a comical incident that was known to everyone in the upper-class society of Mali at that time.

However, only Jaxon knew the true identity of Andrew.

He belonged to the top organization of Ivory Coast country and had almost died due to betrayal.

Jaxon understood that his position in the Adams family was not high, so he begged Andrew to marry his daughter and secretly protect the Shalford family for five years.

Grateful for saving his life, Andrew agreed to the request.

But after marriage, although they were called husband and wife, Andrew and Eleanor had no real relationship, not even touching hands a few times.

After Jaxon's death, Salome, the mother-in-law, treated him coldly every day.

As a son-in-law, he had no dignity.

Andrew had long been accustomed to this, silently enduring Salome's scolding, although he didn't like it.

Eleanor returned home and gave Andrew a cold glance before walking alone to her room.

After taking a shower, she sat by the window in a bathrobe.

The light above her head illuminated her smooth and delicate skin, with dewdrops on her shoulders, fragile and beautiful.

But at this moment, there was a hint of sadness on Eleanor's face.

"Sigh, it's tiring to be alone."

Eleanor looked at herself in the mirror and

sighed.

"Gipper Company, Californ Group, all top-notch families that I can't afford to offend. And now, even The Coven Company, a lowly company, dares to bully me. But I."

Eleanor's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't continue.

She thought of Andrew washing vegetables in the kitchen.

Other people's husbands were elite executives in their companies, at least standing tall and proud.

But her husband was a complete loser, a househusband who only did housework at home!

"Dinner's ready."

A familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

Eleanor turned around and saw Andrew leaning against the door, not knowing how long he had been standing there.

"What are you doing here? Can't you knock?"

"Eleanor wiped her tears and stood up, pointing her white arm towards the door."

Now, get out!

"It's my mom who asked me to call you for dinner"

Andrew approached and saw the tears in Eleanor's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you having difficulties? Do you need my help?"

"Help? How can you help?"

Eleanor smiled faintly, her eyes filled with sadness.

"If it weren't for my dad picking you up five years ago, you Wouldn't even have the qualifications to stay here. We are from two different worlds."

I'll say it again, get out of here!

For five years, the five-year marriage contract arranged by Jaxon had been tortured. Eleanor for five years.

Jaxon I asked you to call Eleanor for dinner. Why haven't you come down yet?

Hearing the voice, Salome, the mother-in-law, walked up the stairs and saw the scene.

She immediately became angry, "Why is my daughter crying? Did you bully her, you useless thing? How dare you!

"I didn't." Andrew just opened his mouth.

"Bullshit! You eat and use our family's things. Now, the dog bites the owner?"

Andrew came home late, and Salome was already hungry and unhappy.

Plus, Eleanor was crying, so she had nowhere to vent her anger.

Andrew was just a coward, and no matter how much she scolded him, he wouldn't talk back.

"Look at other people's son-in-laws, they all buy luxury cars and Houses, and they are company CEOs."

But now we're still living with you in this shabby neighborhood, and you rely on Eleanor's salary.

"What use are you?"

Bang!

Salome became angrier and angrier as she scolded, and she suddenly threw the teacup on the table at Andrew.

Andrew slightly turned his head, and the glass cup immediately shattered on the wall.

"Don't dodge, pick it up for me! Salome pointed at Andrew and cursed."

Without saying a word, Andrew squatted down and carefully picked up the broken glass pieces in his palm, Suddenly, he clenched his fist tightly, and the bright red blood seeped through his fingers.

He looked up and saw Eleanor's still red eyes, feeling helpless and aggrieved.

Salome, his mother-in-law, was right.

He had suffered humiliation since he married into the Adams family, and so had Eleanor, his wife, Otherwise, she wouldn't be cryíng secretly in her room alone.

He also felt guilty towards Eleanor.

Still so pathetic. There are only two months left until that dead man's will is due.

If you don't get divorced by then, our Adams family will always suffer like this!

"Huff, there are only two months left, Andrew murmured to himself.

Before Jaxon died, he left a will in the bank, stating that all the money he had left behind could only be withdrawn by Andrew and Eleanor five years after their marriage.

Now, there were only two months left until the five years were up.

What are you muttering about, you worthless piece of trash?

Mom, stop it.

Andrew didn't do it just now Eleanor couldn't help but speak up.

"Whether he did it or not, this pathetic loser must leave our family!"

Andrew walked back to his room and could still hear Salome's scolding outside.

Sitting on the bed, he sighed deeply as he threw the blood-stained glass pieces into the wastebasket.

"I have been protecting the Adams family for five years since I married into it. uncle Jaxon... I have repaid my debt to you."

He used to be the king of soldiers.

The god of Lion Group!

To fulfill his promise to Jaxon, he became a son-in-law in his family and stayed there for five years.

"That's enough!

Andrew opened his eyes and slowly Suppressed the anger in his chest.

Naturally, they didn't call Andrew for dinner.

After Salome finished eating, she poured all the food into the trash can to prevent Andrew from going out and stealing food when he was hungry Salome wished that this useless person would starve to death.

Boom boom boom-

The car downstairs started, and the beautiful Porsche rushed out of the night, leaving a trail of taillights.

Andrew stood at the window of the room and could see the determination on Eleanor's face, with her teeth clenched as if she was rushing to the battlefield.

"What happened?"

Andrew's eyes flashed with suspicion.

He remembered Eleanor crying in the room before dinner.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

There were only two months left before he left Adam's house, and he didn't want anything unexpected to happen during these two months.

"Hey, it's me, Andrew. Don't you want me to go back?"

Andrew suddenly made a phone call.

"I want to know Eleanor's location within three minutes."
