He always acted arrogantly in front of me, as if it was a great honor for me to marry him and that I got into his research team by pulling strings.
But he forgot—I had options.Many suitors pursued me.
At first, he was always self-conscious and insecure.He was afraid that I would fall in love with someone else, so he asked me to reject all confessions and didn’t allow me to have any contact with men of the same age. As for the research team he formed,the research topic was proposed by me, and the research funds were also provided by me.
He said all kinds of nice things to me and asked me to give the research topic to him.
Even the two research topics he had been praised for before were thought up by me.
What right did he have to put on airs in front of me?
I made a phone call,”Secretary King,two days until the lab payment,right?Lucas’s team’s losses are too high,failing contract terms.Tell him Brooks Corp is cutting all funding!”
“Understood.”
Originally, if the research topic I chose was successful, it could make money, just like the two topics he had taken over from me before.
But after he succeeded twice in a row, he didn’t take me seriously anymore. He was arrogant and carried out the research according to his own ideas.
We had quarreled many times because of the research direction, and I always chose to back down. In the future, whether it’s research or other things, I won’t back down anymore!
As soon as I hung up the phone, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law called me one after another, Jenna, come back! Since you won’t free Sophie, Lucas is going to commit suicide by cutting his wrists! Having a daughter-in-law like you is really bad luck!”
“You’re so bitter,only Lucas would stoop to marry you.Ungrateful,now you’re driving him to death…My son,cursed with a venomous wife!”
“My brother’s suicidal,and you’re not rushing back?”
In the past twenty years, they had eaten, drunk, and used my money. At first, they were grateful, but later they only scolded and criticized me.
They thought my million-dollar monthly allowance,giving them$100,000,was stingy.
They said my countless properties,giving them one multi-million-dollar mansion,was cheap.
They resented my parents’billion-dollar estate requiring prenups and infidelity clauses.
No matter what I said or did, they could always find fault.
I used to argue back.
Lucas said I was wrong,so I reflected.
Surviving death,I saw my foolishness!
I told them:”Let Lucas die then.He deserves it.You think I’m a cursed daughter-in-law?Good—I won’t be.All Brooks privileges are revoked.”
I made a phone call and asked the HR department to fire the three members of my husband’s family who just took the money but didn’t do any work.
Besides, they only clocked in for one day at most a month and had been absent from work for a long time. I asked the legal department of the company to sue them and recover the wages that didn’t belong to them.
He called,furious:”I’m suicidal,and you don’t care,harming my family,cutting lab funds,pushing me to death…Will you only regret when I’m dead?”
“You’re wrong.Your death would thrill me.”
Five rods pierced me,organs damaged,countless critical notices—where was his pity?
“You…how’d you become so heartless?” He was so angry that he stuttered.
