1. Danny the Looser
"What the hell!" Danny Raphael could not hold back his words when he saw the scene before him. He spontaneously dropped the food box in his hand and made a mess of its contents.
Danny, a food delivery courier, was shocked at the scene before him. Although he often faced customers with various characters, this time, he saw his wife, Laura Huxley, standing behind the man who ordered food using his services.
Even more shocking, Laura Huxley wore a super skimpy dress with stockings and a garter belt. In their three years of marriage, Laura had never worn such skimpy clothes, and the two of them didn't even sleep in the same room because Laura always said she wasn't ready for married life.
"You're so incompetent! How could you drop all this food on the floor? This is abalone, wagyu meat, and all the most expensive food in the restaurant. "Can you afford to replace it?" exclaimed Tom Harold as he squinted at the man before him.
"What are you two doing in this place?" Danny asked, pointing at Laura, who was now hurriedly covering her body with a long blazer and preparing to approach the door.
"Danny, why did you spill the food you were supposed to deliver to Tom Harold? "Hurry up and seriously apologize to Tom Harold for offending him; otherwise, you will be doomed. "Your future will be bleak." Laura tried to remind her husband.
Tom, the man with dark brown hair, immediately squinted at Laura, "Do you know this loser?"
Laura, the most beautiful woman in the Northern Coastal City, with blue eyes, a slender waist, and calves, shook out her long blonde hair and snorted in annoyance. "I do know him, actually he... he is my husband, but our relationship is only on paper. "I wouldn't have married him if it weren't for my grandfather."
Tom grinned, then nodded lightly. He had indeed heard the news about the Huxley family's most beautiful daughter marrying a useless loser, and it had broken the hearts of the men of Northern Coastal City.
Many questioned Robert Huxley's reasons for marrying off his granddaughter to that useless man. Even Laura herself was questioning. However, as the head of the Huxley family, his decision was absolute, and anyone who disagreed should leave the Huxley family.
Tom didn't care much about gossip and didn't take the news seriously. But hearing Laura's confession, Tom was forced to discuss it.
"Oh, so he's a poor guy who lives in the Huxley household? "He's a man who does household chores daily and works in obscurity like that?" Tom asked sarcastically.
Laura nodded quickly, then wrapped her hands around Tom's arm and said pleadingly, "Tom, he is indeed my husband, but the incident just now has nothing to do with me. You won't cancel this meeting because of him, are you?"
"Laura, come with me!" Danny suddenly exclaimed as he pulled Laura's hand for the first time. But Laura withdrew her hand, reluctant to touch her husband.
"Huh! You're asking me to come with you? Are you out of your mind? I am here for work. We're discussing the investment for the project that the Huxley Group will create. You should know that this project is significant to the future of the Huxley Group. Can you take responsibility if this project fails?"
Danny said nothing, which made Laura chuckle, "Ha ha, of course, you can't be responsible. You're just a man with no skills, clear origins, or good educational background. How could you possibly be responsible for the Huxley group? That's why you never got to join the Huxley group, even as a rookie staff member."
Tom laughed at Laura's words.
"What did you say? You came here to talk about a project? What kind of project is being discussed in a hotel room? Especially since I saw you wearing a super-skimpy outfit that almost showed your sensitive parts. "I've been married to you for two years, and I've never touched you at all; I've never even seen you dressed like that, but you're exposing your body to this pervert!" Danny retorted.
Laura didn't say anything to Danny. Instead, she approached him with the folder she was discussing with Tom.
"How stupid are you! Look at this, and now you've messed things up. What if Tom Harold is offended by your actions? Now, you'd better apologize to him quickly. "Tom Harold is not the right person for you to offend!" Laura exclaimed as she waved the folder she had just picked up.
Tom Harold was a young tycoon and one of the ten wealthiest families in the Northern Coastal City. For the Huxley family, receiving an invitation to discuss a project from Tom Harold was a great boon. It would surely bring prosperity to the Huxley family, whose wealth ranked in the fiftieth place.
But out of the ten wealthiest people in the Northern Coastal City, one mysterious family has always been at the top of the heap. The legendary family that was reluctant to do publicity was the Lancaster family.
"Danny, you have to apologize to Tom! Not only did you spill the food he ordered, but you'd also been rude and slandered him! "You should even apologize on your knees to him!" Laura exclaimed.
"Hmm, I apologize to her for spilling the food you ordered as a form of professionalism." Danny bowed and apologized to both of them, but a few seconds later, he stood straight and pointed at Tom and Laura. But I won't apologize for calling him a pervert. What I said is the truth!"
This was the first time Laura had received such a sardonic look from Danny, her husband. He usually obeyed her and her extended family.
Danny had always served the Huxley family wholeheartedly and never complained. He woke up early in the Huxley house, cleaned the entire house, prepared breakfast, and fed their pets. She was also the one who slept the most at night in the Huxley household.
But they were never satisfied with Danny's actions. They still insulted him and put him down in public.
"Danny, you're not crazy!" Laura exclaimed.
"I won't apologize to her, even if I die!" Danny retorted firmly.
"Danny, don't be so ignorant! "Do you know what you're doing? "The Huxley family could be affected!" Laura exclaimed.
"Apologize to your male mistress? "Huh, don't dream," Danny sneered.
Laura stomped in annoyance, not knowing how to apologize to Tom. Seeing Laura upset, Tom put his arm around her shoulders and said something soft but provoking. "Laura, your husband is ungrateful. He's already getting free housing and meals at your house, but he's trying to destroy your family business by mentioning me."
Laura gasped in shock, and Tom smiled, "But you don't have to worry. I'm an objective person. He started this problem, which has nothing to do with you, so we can still discuss our project. But since your husband won't apologize politely for slandering and insulting me, I have no choice but to give him a bad rating!"
"Huh, am I scared?" Danny retorted defiantly, making Laura and Tom even more upset.
"Danny, how rude of you!" snapped Laura.
Tom shrugged and said, "Alright then, this is all you requested!"
Tom took his phone from his pocket, opened the food delivery app, and gave Danny a one-star rating. He also wrote that the delivery guy spilled the food and was arrogant.
"I don't care." Danny glanced at Laura, "If anything happens to you because of this guy, don't say I didn't warn you!"
After saying this, Danny left the two of them. A few minutes later, he received a call from Simon Wilson, his grandfather's right-hand man, Gerald Lancaster.
"Young Master, you are asked to return home immediately and prepare for the handover of the Phoenix Crest Group, and the Great Master has also approved your request to give thirty percent of the shares to the Huxley family."
"Oh," Danny replied, not at all enthusiastically. He already knew all this; his grandfather had groomed him to be the next generation even when he was eleven years old. When his parents died, Danny began to learn many things, not only business and leadership but also arts, martial arts, politics, and others.
The climax was when he was 21 years old and asked to leave home and live as a lower-middle-class person with limited money. He had to use all the knowledge he had learned in real life. Since then, he has used his biological mother's surname, Raphael.
Three years ago, he collapsed on the street due to hunger and was rescued by Robert Huxley, Laura's grandfather. In return for saving his life, Danny agreed to the late Robert Huxley's request to marry him off to Laura so she could feel safe.
"Young Master?" Simon Wilson said again, because he hadn't heard anything from Danny.
"Simon, tell my grandfather I'll be here soon. About the thirty percent share, forget it. "I won't give them anything!" Danny replied with a chuckle and ended his call.
'It's been three years since I served your family, and now it's my debt to me. Robert Huxley was paid. 'Now it's time for me to turn things around; we'll see if you can still underestimate me?' Danny thought.

The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back 108. Approaching You
Laura deliberately invited her best friend to the Starlight Hill Villa area tonight. This is a super-luxurious area in Northern Coastal, which is also Danny's residence. Today, Laura deliberately came to see Danny and tried to regain his heart. Laura had finalized her divorce from Tom almost two weeks ago, more precisely, a few hours after their wedding.Not only that, Laura had made thorough preparations, even undergoing hymen reconstruction surgery so that Danny would still consider her a virgin. She had slept with Tom on the night of their wedding registration. That night, Laura wore a black YSL mini backless dress and applied heavier makeup on her face. “Rose, are you sure this is his house?” Laura asked upon arriving at the most luxurious villa. The villa was built in a classic style, with majestic, sturdy marble pillars. In the centre was a fountain with a statue of a fairy. Laura, who had just exited the car, marvelled at it. At that moment, she felt fortunate to have a fr

The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back 107. The Genius Laura's Grandpa
The man laughed again, and Chad immediately hung up the phone rudely. Next to him was an elderly woman lying weakly on the bed. She was Lizbeth Wilder, Chad's mother and Robert Huxley's younger sister.“I heard you were talking about Laura. What happened to my granddaughter?”Chad glanced briefly at his mother. Her condition was no longer as good as in previous years. He couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth.“Nothing. Laura is fine,” Chad lied.“Is Laura going to divorce Danny?” Lizbeth asked, startling Chad.Chad exhaled deeply. He realized there was no point in lying to his mother. The woman who had given birth to him must know the truth, even if it was covered up with a beautiful lie.With a heavy heart, Chad nodded.“So the son-in-law who’s been living off his in-laws is actually the President of Phoenix Crest Group?” Lizbeth asked, then exhaled deeply, “The Huxley family is really suffering a huge loss right now.” Chad immediately took his mother’s hand and gently rubbed

Anthony considered what his daughter had done dangerous. Laura had just made the Harold family the laughingstock of the whole town, and Anthony knew that the Harold family would not take this lying down.However, Michelle was different. She approached Laura and tried to calm her daughter down. Michelle looked at her husband with disbelief.“Why did you have to slap Laura?” Michelle asked.Anthony didn’t answer; he just smiled cynically.“You can’t treat our child like that. Laura and Danny have been married for three years, and they have deep feelings for each other. It’s only natural that our child would choose Danny over Tom, right? Besides, Danny is the president of a huge company.”“Shut up, you materialistic woman!” Anthony snapped. Michelle was startled to see her husband. Even then, her hand was raised, ready to slap him, but she held back. At that moment, Anthony knew Danny would never agree to take Laura back, especially with all the treatment the Huxley family had given th

The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back 105. I Don't
After the three of them left, the invited guests whispered among themselves. “Mr. Lancaster really has a strong influence in the business world. Even people from the underground gangs know him well.”“Yes, even though he is still very young, he is already so powerful. Anyone who dares to mess with him will not survive.”“We’d better not cause trouble with him. If we can’t get close to Mr. Lancaster, it’s better to stay quiet and do nothing.”The people talking about Danny then were mostly sycophants who wanted to get close to Danny to improve their social status. They now approached Danny while carrying wine glasses and raised them in honor.“Mr. Lancaster, I didn’t know today was your birthday, so I didn’t prepare a gift. However, please allow me to drink wine and toast to you. Happy birthday, Mr. Lancaster,” said one of the guests, raising his glass and signaling the others to do the same.Danny raised his glass in response and drank a glass of wine. They seemed delighted that Dann

The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back 104. They Are
In less than five minutes, a Rolls Royce with custom license plates that only the upper class could afford pulled up in front of the lobby. From the front of the hall, the leader of the Rogue gang could see the car arriving and immediately greeted the owner.At that moment, Phil realized that the person who had arrived this time was far more powerful than the leader of the Rogue gang, perhaps even an international gang leader who was famous not only in Asia. “Hmm, it seems luck is on my side this time,” Phil thought. The Rogue Gang Leader immediately opened the car door and bowed ninety degrees. His subordinates followed suit. “Welcome, Sir,” the gang leader greeted him respectfully.“Hmm,” replied the middle-aged man, sounding mysterious. He then stepped forward and led the way to the hall. Phil, witnessing the scene, quickly pulled the gang leader closer and whispered to him, “Who is that middle-aged man? He doesn’t look young anymore, but he’s so authoritative and dominant.”“O

Seeing this, Phil became angry and ordered the trained security guards to expel them all. Phil and Julie had heard about Hailey's ex-husband's fighting skills. For that reason, he deliberately prepared trained personnel to stand guard in case the man caused trouble.The burly, intimidating security personnel entered the party room and immediately began to expel the newly arrived guests. However, the guests resisted and protested."You have no right to expel us! We've already given you gifts worth 10 to 20 thousand!" "Phil Harold! You're truly shameless! You expelled us after letting us in and accepting our gifts!" "Have you become so poor that you only want our gifts and don't give anything in return?" Hearing someone insult him as poor, Phil felt deeply ashamed. His face turned red, and he dared not look at the invited guests, who might have also heard what these people were saying. With a feeling of anger, Phil clenched his fists and shouted, "Return the prize money they gave yo
