The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back

"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.
