...At this point, Stanley feels like his bones are about to be broken, so he cries out for his in-laws and his wife to stop hitting him.

"Please, I am just a cripple. How can a disabled man like me try to destroy this powerful family?!" He wails.

"I see what's going on here!" Andrew exclaims. "He overheard how we want to get him divorced from Emerald, so that she can get married to the young Lord Snow, but he wants to sabotage it!"

Stanley's jaw drops to the ground. This, in fact, is the first time that he is hearing that his wife wants to leave him for a rich anonymous man.

His eyes swell with tears, and he doesn't even attempt to hide his pain.

"Why do you want to divorce me, Emerald? For seven years, I have been nothing but good to you. You have kept so many boyfriends and broken our marriage vows, but I never ever complain!"

Emerald doesn't feel guilty, instead she snarls and hits him even harder.

"You call yourself a husband? You are nothing but a vegetable in a chair! You are not even half a man!"

"Yes, she is right, it's time you are kicked out of this family. We have not benefited from having you here!"

"All you do is sit on your weak legs, and eat our food!"

"And steal from us!"

The beating gets even harder and Mr Hudson immediately runs up the stairs to grab the already drafted divorce papers.

He smacks Stanley very hard before forcing the papers into his hands. "Sign this quickly! Emerald needs to be free from you, so that she can go be married to the young Lord Snow!"

But Stanley won't do this one thing that they have demanded from him.

The truth is that Stanley has unfortunately fallen very deeply in love with Emerald over the seven years that they have been married.

Sadly for him, this is one sided love, and there is no way that Emerald would fall for a poor cripple like him.

Even though he knows this very well he turns to her with tears in her eyes.

"Please, Emerald, you know I love you. Don't divorce me! I will be a better husband! I will visit more doctors to help with my legs, I will get better for you."

But Emerald laughs with mockery and throws her head back. "Look at this fool!Keep building castles in the air! You are a cripple forever, and no one will be able to help you!"

"Emerald, I swear, I can be a better husband!"

"You can be a better husband than the anonymous Lord Snow?! Ha! Only in your wildest dream!"

It's at that moment that the last string of kindness snaps inside of him, and Stanley's heart turns cold as ice.

He has begged, but they refused to listen to him. Now, he is done begging.

He wipes the tears from his eyes and calmly takes the pen and the papers.

Damn Emerald and her family. He has tried for seven years to be nothing but the best son-in-law to them, but they have only rewarded him by spitting in his face.

He will never forget how they have treated him...

The Hudson family watches in awe, they can't contain their joy as they watch their bum of a son-in-law severe the marriage.

"He has finally done it! Now our Emerald is free to marry Lord Snow!"

"This is the best day of our lives!"

Stanley stays in the corner, watching them dance around and around.

Finally, they notice him, the trash in the room, and they immediately push him and his wheelchair out of the gates.

"Never you return, Stanley Adkins! Our family has gotten rid of the useless son-in-law after seven years!!"

They won't even allow him to take his little belongings, but he tries not to dwell on that too much.

The sun is scorching hot, but is it worse than the humiliation that he has just faced?

He keeps wheeling himself down the hot road, until he notice an expensive jeep parked by the side.

John Plummer is alone this time around, and he bows deeply to Stanley, his eyes weak with emotions.

"Young master, why didn't you tell me that you are married to Hudson's daughter?"

"WAS married," he corrects the man. "I am single from today,"

John looks down with a sigh. "I'm sorry, sir. Emerald is a very beautiful woman, why didn't you just tell her the truth about your identity? She would have surely treated you differently."

Stanley chuckles painfully, "She has shown me her true colours, John. I am moving on from that. Now, I know what to do..."

John Plummer brings out the signet again and gives it to Stanley, who slips it on his pinky.

It fits him so well, and it's all fate.

"Take me back to the Mansion," Stanley orders.

John Plummer's face breaks with excitement.

"Ar-are you serious, young master? You have finally agreed to come home?!"

Take me to my father's mansion, John, and call me the best Doctors to fix my memory! I want to remember every single person who has ever wronged me!”

    152. Paris is astonished. Sometimes, people would offer her outrageous amounts of money to get a chance to evens speak to Lord Snow, but she has never met someone with the heart to not leave. The head of Lauren's security laughs dryly, "Let him. He thinks that he can stay here forever? We will stay here with him! I bet that he won't be able to stay here for more than a few hours," Franklin laughs as he crosses his legs, "What do my father likes to say? The more the merrier. At least you can keep me company," Lauren's eyes brows lifts. "Mister Sampson, you can't surely mean that, you know." "Well, I intend to. Let Miss Paris tell Lord Snow that I am here, whenever he is ready for me." Lauren shakes her head. She won't allow that to happen. "That's crazy!" Paris hiss. "To think that your family came here the other day to scare us, and now you are here causing a scene?" Before they can decide exactly what to do, the elevator door parts and Seven steps out with a pissed off look o

    Emerald doesn't care at all, "Whatever, boy. I have things to do," she goes to her car and drives away. Lauren on the other hand has gone pale, like she has seen a ghost. "Did you hear that?" She whispers to Bob. "Oh, I did. Franklin Sampson, the brother of the man who paid people to come into the headquarters to attack you and Roman Snow," he snarls,his hand is already on the trigger of his gun. They are the closest people, so Franklin walks up to them, but Bob aims his gun at him. "Woah," Franklin throws his hands into the air and take a couple of steps back. "I don't mean any trouble. Just wanted to ask a few questions." "You said you are Franklin Sampson?" Lauren asks, unsureness layering her words. "Yes," he nods. "The same Franklin Sampson that is the President's brother?" "Well, yes. You know an awful lot about me, and I don't think that I know you." Lauren gets that a lot now, and honestly she is happy that less people can now recognize her on the street. Since Lo

    "What?" "Yes, isn't that why he personally came to rescue you from that kidnapper?" "The kidnapper you encouraged to take me?" Lauren sharply fires back at her, and Emerald looks at the guards. She thought they would suddenly hit her for that. "Look, I made what I thought was a good choice. You for the rest of us. It would be senseless if we all had to die!" Lauren presses her hand against her forehead as she shuts her eyes. Everyday, her situation with her cousin gets even more and more complicated. Thankfully, the door opens and they immediately walk out of the building. They are a few steps in front of the security, so they can talk in private. "Look, I'm not going to fight with you over Lord Snow anymore. I guess you just feel jealous because you realize that Stanley is not particularly the catch!" She laughs. "Come on, Emerald, when are you going to stop talking nonsense about Stanley? He has never done anything to you!" Lauren warns her. "You don't know him all that wel

    When Emerald gets to snow headquarters, she looks left to right, like she is being followed.Once she is sure that the coast is clear, she enters the building through the backdoor. The place is busy, so as far as she doesn't do anything to draw attention to herself, no one is going to notice her. She finally makes her way to Roman's office, but to her dismay, his desk is empty. What? She came in here for nothing? She looks at the documents in her hands and swallow a gulp. "Why are bad things happening to me today?" She notices two woman chatting happily as they walk past her. With quick thinking, she jumps into their way. "Hey, do you girls know where Roman Snow is?" The girls looks at each other, their brows crooked skeptically. It's not their fault, they are new hires and have no idea who Emerald is. "I don't know, sis, why don't you go find him yourself?!" One snorts, and the other laughs as they try to walk around her, but she slaps the file again one of them's chest. "

    Meg's eyebrows crooks. "Are you trying to suggest that I give you the money from the sale of my shares?" "Well, isn't that how an investment works?" Fanny shrugs. "This is your chance to show me just how trustworthy you are." Fanny is not trying to hide her motive at all, she doesn't care if Meg is able to see through her bullshit or not. All she wants is for Meg to sell the shares, it will not be linked back to her, and that means that Lord Snow won't be able to seize it. Of course it wouldn't be too much of a life changing amount, but it's going to last her maybe a month or two. The good thing is that she would have gotten herself together enough to get rid of Lord Snow once and for all. Then a trillion dollars would be at her feet... Now, Meg is not a fool. She knows that Fanny wants the money for herself, and it's the only thing that her late father left her for, but Meg considers it to be a worthy sacrifice. If Fanny keeps her word and rewards Meg in Snow empire shares,
