《Not Again Mr Whitney》


 Chapter 1 How Money Outweighs a Human Life

    Chapter 1 How Money Outweighs a Human Life


    Outside the ICU in the Chelston General Hospital, Calvin Whitney was clutching a doctor¡¯s legs on his


    knees, begging, ¡°Doctor, please, please don¡¯t give up on my mother! She¡¯s not even 50! She¡¯s too


    young to die like this!¡±


    The doctor eyed him up and down in disgust. He had seen a lot of people like him begging and nagging


    him to save their loved ones¡¯ lives. But when it came to the medical fees, they started changing the


    topic and just wouldn¡¯t pay.


    This was a hospital, not a charity.


    ¡°Get up. Don¡¯t think that you can get away with the medical fees by doing this. The hospital has already


    done everything for you and you still owe us more than two thousand dors. And if you don¡¯t pay the


    fees, we¡¯ll cut off the meds.¡±


    ¡°My advice for you is, instead of nagging me like this, go and get a loan. If you fail to get the money,


    just take your mother home and stop wasting money. She¡¯s already reached the terminal stage of


    cancer. It¡¯s like pouring money down the drain.¡±


    The doctor¡¯s words were like a knife that cut Calvin to the bones.


    Calvin knew that his mother might not be able to make it this time.


    But he just couldn¡¯t give up on her because he had owed his foster mother too much.


    Back then, he was abandoned in a pile of garbage at a rainy night. And at that very night, his mother


    Shirley Whitney was thrown out of her husband¡¯s house because she was sterile. When she passed by


    that pile of garbage, she heard Calvin crying and took him with her.


    All these years, these two had been supporting each other through the roughest days but they were still


    happy because they got each other.


    Shirley finally raised him to be a wonderful young man and didn¡¯t have to lead such a wearisome life.


    But then something hit them hard. Shirley fell ill and got cancer.


    That year, Calvin had just graduated and hadn¡¯tnded on a good job. He kept doing part-time jobs and


    taking care of Shirley at the same time. Life had been harder for them.


    Consequently, he had to marry into the Houston family and be a live-in son-inw.


    And the Houston family bought him for merely twenty grand, which was all gone now.


    Two thousand dors was only the cost of a casual meal for some people.


    But it was impossible for Calvin to get because he couldn¡¯t even afford a piece of bread right now.


    Calvin was devastated but wouldn¡¯t give up so easily.


    ¡°Doctor, please give me more time. I¡¯ll find a way to borrow some money.¡±


    The doctor snorted and didn¡¯t say anything. But he thought to himself, ¡°This kind of disease will only


    cost more and more money. Your rtives and friends won¡¯t even wanna talk to you right now because


    of all the money you had borrowed from them before.¡±


    Calvin dragged himself to his feet and went to Shirley¡¯s brother Donald Whitney¡¯s house.


    He knocked on the door and then heard his aunt Mindy shouting, ¡°Piss off! Your whole family is like a


    parasite. You alwayse here for money. You think I¡¯m a bank or something? Stay away from us!¡±


    Calvin begged desperately, ¡°Aunt Mindy, Uncle Donald got sickst year and you borrowed two


    thousand dors from my mom. We need that money now, please give it back to us.¡±


    ¡°What money? Why would we borrow money from slum dogs like you? You got any proof? If you don¡¯t,


    keep your mouth shut or I¡¯ll sue you!¡±


    Calvin was incredibly disappointed. Even though he had seen thising, he thought Mindy wouldn¡¯t


    go this far because his mother¡¯s life depended on it. Judging from her words, he had thought too good


    of human nature.


    So he had no choices but said, ¡°Maybe I got it wrong. Aunt Mindy, can you at least lend me some


    money? Five hundred would be fine.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t give you a dime. How are you gonna repay me if I loan you the money? You have a car, a


    house or something? I thought you are the son-inw of the Houston family. You can ask them to give


    you the money. They are loaded. Why bother to knock on our door? We¡¯re done and you weren¡¯t part


    of our family years ago.¡±


    Calvin tried hard to contain himself and proceeded, ¡°Aunt Mindy, I have no one to turn to anymore. I


    can¡¯t just let her die. Please help us and I¡¯ll do anything you want me to do.¡±


    No one responded. Just as Calvin was about to leave despondently, two pieces of bread were tossed


    out of the window.


    ¡°Take the bread and piss off. If youe to my house one more time, I won¡¯t go easy on you.¡±


    The dried and rock-hard bread was soaked in the dirty puddle.


    Calvin stared at that bread and then picked it up.


    ¡°Calvin, you can¡¯t give up. You mother¡¯s life depends on you. Eat it and always remember the shame.


    Go on and strive for a better life.¡±


    The bread was soaked in sewage and it tasted like vomit


    He had paid visits to all these rtives and they all saw him as a big trouble that they would rather run


    away from.


    During this whole day, he was faced with the most vicious curses from his rtives.


    He put the twenty dors that he begged from them in his pocket and wandered towards hisst hope


    like a ghost.


    The Houston family.


    He knew the Houston family wouldn¡¯t give him any money and would humiliate him like everyone else.


    But he didn¡¯t want to give up like this.


    ¡°You rat, I finally got you.¡±


    Calvin looked up and found himself cornered in an alley. It was Scott Terry, the loan shark.


    ¡°Shit, I¡¯ve been searching for you everywhere. I thought you were dead somewhere. Give me the


    money!¡±


    Calvin subconsciously held on to the 20 bucks in his pocket and said, ¡°Mr. Terry, I don¡¯t have it...¡±


    Scott saw what he was doing and yelled, ¡°Then what¡¯s that in your pocket? Tryna y fool with me?


    You ask for it!¡±


    He waved his hand and his men came at Calvin. They held him down and Calvin was struggling hard,


    ¡°Don¡¯t take this from me, it¡¯s life-saving.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s gonna save your life. Mr. Terry, it¡¯s only 20 bucks.¡±


    Scott red at him coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve been looking for you for all these days and all I got is 20 dors? Kick


    his ass!¡±


    Calvin wrapped his head with his arms and just let them hit him silently.


    ¡°You filthy slum dog! My hands got dirty just by hitting you! Phew!¡±

    Someone spat on him and his hair got sticky with some yellow phlegm that had the smell of tobo.


    Calvin wanted to wipe it off but his whole body was aching like hell.


    After a while, Calvin opened his eyes and shook his dizzy head. His phone was buzzing in his pocket.


    He mustered all his strength and took it out. Its screen was broken, but he could still vaguely see the


    name of the caller.


    It was Rita Houston.


    His nominal wife.


    Calvin opened his mouth and stretch his facial muscles. His voice was trembling.


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    ¡°What took you so long to pick up the phone?¡± Rita sounded a little annoyed.


    ¡°It¡¯s broken and it didn¡¯t ring.¡±


    ¡°I thought I gave you the money to buy a new one before, right? Why haven¡¯t you changed it? Why


    can¡¯t you just do what I say and not annoy me for once?¡±


    Calvin answered carefully, ¡°I know. It won¡¯t happen again. Did you have fun in Oakshire?¡±


    ¡°Anywhere is fun without you.¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m gonna go.¡±


    ¡°Wait, can you lend me some money? My mom...¡±


    All he could hear was the disconnect tone.


    She hung up without any hesitation, just as he expected.


    Calvin struggled and got on his feet. He leaned on the wall and took a look at his dirty clothes.


    They were the only nice clothes he had.


    He looked around and made sure no one was passing by. He quickly took off his clothes and wore


    them inside out. And then he walked ahead with his body injured and bruised.


    The pain on the inside was much worse than the pain on his body.


    What to do? What to do?


    He couldn¡¯t just watch and let his foster mother pass away.


    At the end of the road, he looked up and found himself on the University Avenue.


    He suddenly thought of somebody.


    His first love, Mary Smith.


    Mary had a very popr karaoke bar on this avenue. Since it was close to Chelston University, a lot of


    hot girls woulde to this karaoke bar, which attracted a bunch of rich men toe here to pick up


    girls. So the business was booming.


    The investor of this ce was John, who was not only the home wrecker who stole Mary from him but


    also his ssmate in college.


    Calvin was standing at the junction. He mustered all his courage and went towards the karaoke bar.


    He believed that Mary was kind enough to lend him 2000 dors.


    After all, he gave her his everything when they were still together.


    Their past was worth 2000 dors, right?


    Thinking of this, Calvin quickened his pace.


    During the daytime, there were few people in the karaoke bar and only two tables were drinking and


    talking.


    Calvin walked in, which drew all the people¡¯s attention in the lobby.


    Mary and John were, of course, one of them.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it the gifted boy of Chelston University? How did youe to this?¡±


    ¡°The Houston family must be over the line. How could they treat a genius like this?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, he¡¯s nothing but a live-in son-inw. Who¡¯s gonna take him seriously?¡±


    Their sarcasm and mocking were like rubbing salt in his wounds. Although Calvin had got used to this,


    but he was still hurt by the disgust and hatred in Mary¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°How dare youe here?¡±

 Chapter 2 Even Inferior to a Slum Dog

    Chapter 2 Even Inferior to a Slum Dog


    Calvin didn¡¯t dare to look straight into her eyes. After their breakup, Mary became a totally different


    woman. She wore more makeup and less clothing now.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Her skin was fair and she was wearing a crop top. Her breasts were heaving and a shorter man could


    easily see everything under her clothes by looking down a little bit.


    Her whole body leaned on John and her nice legs were swinging in the air, which made every man in


    the room stare.


    Calvin could sense her coldness without even looking into her eyes.


    ¡°Mary, can we have a word outside?¡±


    Before Mary could answer him, John jumped off the chair and walked towards him.


    ¡°Holy shit, did you just dig into the garbage bin or something? Why do you smell so bad?¡±


    John covered his nose and said, ¡°I¡¯m warning you, Mary is my girl now. Don¡¯t you think about stealing


    her back. And of course she wouldn¡¯t take another look at someone like you. Oh my God, can¡¯t you just


    change your clothes before you went out? I¡¯m gonna pass out.¡±


    Those who were sitting over there went close and sniffed dramatically, ¡°Holy cow, that¡¯s so stinky! He


    definitely had dug into the trashcan before and look at the thing that got stuck on his mouth. Did he just


    go into the trashcan for food?¡±


    ¡°Who does he think he is to see a pretty girl like Mary?¡±


    Calvin nerved himself to walk in. He knew he would be mocked but he didn¡¯t care at all as long as this


    could help his mother.


    But he underestimated their viciousness.


    Calvin clutched his fists and his heart was filled with wrath.


    ¡°Oh, he¡¯s mad. Is he gonna punch me in the face?¡±


    ¡°Come on! Come at me! Do you dare to do that? Touch me once and I¡¯ll make you lose everything.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t piss him off. He¡¯s got nothing to lose now. He might actually beat you up.¡±


    ¡°Phew! Him? Take a look at him! He would never dare to do that.¡±


    Calvin looked up slowly and begged, ¡°Mary, please, for old time¡¯s sake, juste with me for a sec.¡±


    Marry leaned on the bar counter and was swirling a wine ss. Her face was filled with satire.


    ¡°How could you bring up the past? You know, that was the most humiliating time of my life. I didn¡¯t


    know what I saw in you or why I would be with you.¡±


    John smiled and walked to her, grabbing her tiny waist, ¡°Honey, don¡¯t bring up unhappy things. Just


    think of this as a charity. He didn¡¯t even touch your hands once, right? Calvin, I actually should¡¯ve


    thanked you for this. Well, here¡¯s ten dors for tip.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, that is too generous of you.¡±


    ¡°Oh, stop it. I normally tip those beggars no less than 100 dors.¡±


    What he meant was that Calvin was even inferior to a beggar.


    Mary felt disgusted to look at Calvin. She didn¡¯t know why a man could say absolutely nothing when he


    was humiliated like this. What a useless man!


    ¡°Calvin, just hit the road. Don¡¯t you ever show up again and never mention our past. Or else I will turn


    against you.¡±


    Calvin was in shock. He didn¡¯t expect a girl who was once kind and innocent to be so cruel.


    But he couldn¡¯t leave now.


    ¡°Mary, I need to borrow two grand from you. I promise I¡¯ll pay you back with interest.¡±


    Mary looked at him sneeringly, ¡°So after all his, you are here for money. You make me sick. Do we


    even know each other? Why would I lend you money? What are you to me?¡±


    ¡°You...even if you don¡¯t acknowledge our past... At least we were ssmates.¡±


    Mary had her arms crossed on chest and said, ¡°If every one of my ssmates asks me for money, I¡¯ll


    run out of cash even if I run a state banknotepany.¡±


    Calvin wouldn¡¯t give up because Mary was hisst hope.


    ¡°Mary, I really need that money. Please show some mercy. Lend some money to me. My mom is still in


    the hospital. If I don¡¯t have the money, they are gonna cut off the meds.¡±


    John suddenly acted to be quite serious, ¡°Really? Your mom is ill?¡±


    Calvin thought he had a shot and said, ¡°Yes, terminal cancer.¡±


    John¡¯s eyes were wide-opened and he covered his mouth, ¡°That bad? Is 2000 dors enough? Mary,


    should we lend him more?¡±


    Calvin took a step forward and said, ¡°No need. two grand is enough.¡±


    ¡°But the disease is so serious. How can two grand be enough for her? Billy, give me your business


    card.¡±


    A young man handed him a business card and John passed it to Calvin, ¡°Here, that¡¯s what you really


    need.¡±


    Calvin took a closer look at it and it was the business card of a funeral parlor...


    ¡°You...¡± Calvin¡¯s teeth were chattering out of anger and he red at him.


    ¡°Oh, are you mad at me? Hahaha, she¡¯s got cancer, why bother to save her. Be realistic. A


    crematorium is what you really need the most. Billy, do me a favor and give him a discount.¡±


    Billy gave him a ttering smile and said, ¡°John, don¡¯t give me such a hard time. No matter how good


    the discount is, he has to pay. Look at him. I bet he doesn¡¯t even have a penny on him.¡±


    John shrugged, ¡°Then what to do?¡±


    ¡°Just find somewhere quiet in the suburb and set her body on fire himself.¡±


    Calvin couldn¡¯t take it anymore. They could mock him and humiliate him however they wanted, but they


    shouldn¡¯t do that to his mom.


    ¡°You jackasses, I¡¯m gonna kill you...¡±


    Calvin clutched his fists and came at John. He mustered all his strength and was about to punch John


    in the face. Suddenly, he was tripped by something and fell onto the ground.


    Then he heard John sighing, ¡°What a loser! He couldn¡¯t even reach me even if I just stood there still.


    Guys, kick his ass.¡±


    After another round of beating Calvin curled up on the marble ground like a dead dog.


    He threw up and the bread he hadn¡¯t digested yet came out of him.


    ¡°John, this douche bag still got bread to eat. Looks like life works out fine for him.¡±


    John turned to Mary and she was standing in front of Calvin.


    Calvin was weeping and his whole body was trembling, ¡°I¡­need...money.¡±


    ¡°Please...please.¡±


    The only thing that was colder than her eyes was her tone.


    ¡°Calvin, look at you. You¡¯re inferior to a slum dog. And you wanna borrow money from me? How are


    you gonna repay me?¡±


    ¡°Be more realistic. Go back to your mother and buy her a proper diner. Let her pass away in relief.


    She¡¯ll only suffer more if she¡¯s with you.¡±


    Mary proceeded as she took something out of her pocket, ¡°You gave me this jade ne. I¡¯ve always


    wanted to give it back to you. Now that you¡¯re here, we¡¯re even!¡±


    She let go of the ne and it fell on Calvin¡¯s chest. It was once Shirley¡¯s. She told him to give this


    ne to his future wife and Calvin gave it to Mary.


    Just as Calvin was reaching out for it, John stepped on the ne and it broke.


    No one notice that a golden light passed through.


    ¡°Oops, I¡¯m sorry. I broke your precious gift for Mary. How much do I owe you? Is one dor enough?


    Mary sneered, ¡°It looks like he bought it from a one dor shop. You can buy three of this for one


    dor.¡±


    ¡°Mary, do I have any change on me? I overpaid him with that ten dor.¡±


    Calvin was stunned and he stared at the pieces of the ne. This might be thest thing his mother


    left him.


    ¡°You...¡±


    Calvin struggled to his feet and then he heard a loud and deep voice in his head.


    ¡°Lord Supreme...¡±

 Chapter 3 The Heir to Master Malandra

    Chapter 3 The Heir to Master Mndra


    ¡°Calvin Whitney, I am Master Mndra. You and I are destined to meet here. Since you have seized


    my true self, you are my descendant now. I now shall pass the Book of the Mndra and the Yin-Yang


    Compass to you now and I hope that you can be the true heir to my heirloom. Remember, we, the


    Mndra, are all mighty men. If the sky crashes down on you, you crack up the sky; if the earth


    confines you, you crush the earth. Once you¡¯re one of the Mndra, no one will dare to stand high


    above you.¡±


    The voice was loud like an enormous bell,ing from the middle of nowhere. Just as Calvin was


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    about to ask, several slits of light appeared and knocked him out.


    It turned out that those slits of light were all information that flowed right into his mind.


    Seeing that Calvin was lying on the ground painfully with his head in his hands, John was a little


    astonished, ¡°Is he gonna ckmail me just because I wouldn¡¯t lend him the money? Let¡¯s just tell


    people that he was causing us trouble and tryna ckmail me.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, if we say that, the police can do nothing about it.¡±


    Abruptly, Calvin screamed and ran straight outside.


    The street was crowded with people and vehicles. He leaned on a tree and started gasping.


    He looked into the sky and the lights were blinding. The warm sunlight shone on his face, bringing him


    back to the reality.


    Did he just have an illusion?


    The second he started thinking, his head began aching and some sentences with golden light were


    hovering in his inner mind.


    And to his surprise, he could understand them all.


    It was really the Book of the Mndra...


    Was it real?


    Which made him even more terrified was that the golden light in these letters rushed into his body and


    became a golden warm stream of energy, flowing throughout his body.


    He instantly felt more powerful than ever before. He wasn¡¯t dizzy at all and his mind was never so clear


    and peaceful.


    It was magical.


    He felt something warm in his hand. He opened it and saw apass in his palm, which should be the


    Yin-Yang Compass. The Yin side of thepass was dark like dead water and the Yang side was


    bright like the sun.


    The Yin-Yang Compass began twirling and the Yin and Yang sides started shining by turns, which was


    quite marvelous.


    ¡°What¡¯s...What¡¯s the use of this?¡± Calvin said to himself.


    All of a sudden, a thought went through his inner mind and he could see his physical condition.


    Skin trauma, multiple bruises, soft tissue contusion...


    ¡°What? Did I just be a doctor now?¡± Calvin said quietly. Suddenly his palm was burning and he


    felt like his whole body was on fire. A stream of energy went through his arms and then flowed


    throughout his body.


    Calvin opened his arms like he was embracing the future. He stood on the street and shouted to the


    sky, ¡°Hell yeah!¡±


    The passers-by all stayed away from him, ¡°What the hell is wrong with him?¡±


    ¡°Everyone is so stressed out these days. It¡¯s shame that such a nice fellow has gone mad.¡±


    Calvin heard them talking about him and got embarrassed. He looked down and went on his way.


    But he was actually feeling rapturous.


    No one could understand what he felt right now. Even though he didn¡¯t take off his clothes and checked


    closely, he could sense that all the bruises on his body were gone and he was not in pain anymore.


    Great! If the Yin-Yang Compass was so useful, could it cure his mother?


    Thinking of that, Calvin ran to the hospital with hope.


    When he ran upstairs, he found a hospital bed in the hallway, which seemed to his mother¡¯s bed.


    He rushed there and saw it truly was Shirley.


    Shirley looked pale and weak and there was a dark cloud over her head. When she saw Calvin, she


    finally put on a smile and said, ¡°Calvin, why the hurry? You¡¯re sweating. No need to rush, I¡¯m


    Calvin ground his teeth with anger. How could these doctors be so snobbish that they couldn¡¯t even


    wait for half a day?


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m sorry that I put you through this. But rest assured, I¡¯ll find a way to cure you.¡±


    Shirley thought he was just saying that to make her feel better, ¡°Kiddo, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s holding you


    back. Don¡¯t waste money on me. Let¡¯s just go home.¡±


    Shirley was struggling to get up and Calvin came forward to stop her. When his hand touched Shirley¡¯s


    bony arms, he could see her physical condition in his inner mind. It was advanced breast cancer and


    there was nothing they can do about it.


    That was incredibly urate. Was there any chance to cure her? Calvin wasn¡¯t sure.


    He started to whisper, ¡°Master Mndra, please give us your blessings and make my mom get better.¡±


    Shirley was stunned, ¡°Kiddo, what did you just say?¡±


    This time, Calvin could feel that a white light was flying inside of Shirley¡¯s system from his palm.


    ¡°Calvin, I...¡± Shirley suddenly couldn¡¯t utter a single word and started trembling.


    She felt like she was in a burning stove and her whole body was burning.


    ¡°I¡­feel terrible.¡±


    Calvin knew the white light was working.


    ¡°Mom, tolerate this for a moment. It must be the new drug the doctors gave you. It¡¯s working.¡±


    Shirley didn¡¯t have the strength to answer him and just simply nodded.


    ¡°You¡¯re back. Take your mom back into the ward.¡±


    Calvin looked back and found out it was the attending doctor, Dr. Walker. Calvin was confused and


    asked, ¡°I thought you were the one who just pushed her out of the ward.¡±


    ¡°Well...You gotta understand that it¡¯s not up to us. If there are too many people who don¡¯t pay their fees,


    the hospital is gonna shut down.¡±


    Calvin put his hand up and stopped him, ¡°I didn¡¯t pay either.¡±


    ¡°Stop joking, you just deposit five grand in your ount. I know you have a problem with me but I want


    you to know it¡¯s not easy to be in our positions...¡±


    Five grand? Where did thate from?


    Was it from Rita? It should be her.


    Calvin felt something in his heart. She reached out to them after all.


    After the fees were paid, the doctor was a lot nicer than before. He started to give Shirley physical


    exam.


    Halfway through the exam, Dr. Walker gasped, ¡°It¡¯s impossible! I can¡¯t believe this!¡±


    Calvin knew what was going on but he still asked, ¡°Dr. Walker, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Did you just feed your mother something?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°No way. Is my treatment working? Oh my God, I just solved a global problem.¡±


    Dr. Walker ran outside and yelled, ¡°I solved a world problem...I just defeat cancer...¡±


    Calvin smiled and was finally relieved.


    Shirley was also surprised and couldn¡¯t be happier. She didn¡¯t expect to walk out of the hospital alive.


    But by the time they got back to their rented ce, they found themselves homeless.


    Because they didn¡¯t pay the rent, thendlord took the house back and tossed their stuff in the garbage


    bin.


    Calvin had been sleeping on the bench in the hospital these days. He couldn¡¯t let his mom do that too.


    Thank God he still got two grand left in his ount, which could support their life for a while.


    Calvin took out his broken phone and clicked on a renting app. After searching for a while, he finally


    found an affordable ce to stay in.


    ¡°Mom, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to a bigger ce to live.¡±


    Shirley tidied her dry hair and said, ¡°As long as I¡¯m with my son, I¡¯m happy everywhere, even if we


    be homeless and have to live on the street.¡±


    Now that they had money, he was finally confident now. He took a taxi for the first time in forever and


    the taxi driver didn¡¯t start driving until he made sure they really could afford the fee.


    The moment he stepped out of the car, Calvin saw thendlord. He thought to himself that it was nearly


    impossible for a man to avoid his enemy.


    ¡°Shit, I was just wondering who rented the ce. Turns out it was you. You bastard, you know this


    woman is about to die and you want her to die in my house?¡±


    Calvin stared at him coldly.


    ¡°You say that one more time.¡±

 Chapter 4 Who Was the Slum Dog

    Chapter 4 Who Was the Slum Dog


    John hated the way Calvin looked at him.


    In his mind, Calvin should be like a dog and bite the dust.


    But this dog dared to show his teeth to him right now.


    John tossed the cigarette end to the ground and stepped hard on it. He grinned cruelly and said, ¡°Why


    can¡¯t you learn from your lessons? Guys, beat him up.¡±


    Shirley knew something bad was going to happen and she stepped in front of Calvin to protect him.


    ¡°John, Calvin didn¡¯t know what he was saying. He didn¡¯t think twice before he talked. Please don¡¯t take


    it seriously. We¡¯re not renting this ce anymore. Let¡¯s just leave.¡±


    John sneered, ¡°Leave? To where? You¡¯re the one who wanna rent my house and I drove all the way


    here. How you gonna pay the gas money?¡±


    Seeing that he wanted money, Shirley¡¯s hands were shaking and she took a wrinkled stic bag from


    her pocket and grabbed some wrinkled change.


    ¡°This is all I have. John, please show some empathy.¡±


    John gave his men a look and one of them came up to get the money with his hand covering his


    mouth, ¡°Did you pick that up from the toilet? Why does it smell so gross?¡±


    ¡°Mr. John, there¡¯s only 7 dors.¡±


    John didn¡¯t take it from his hand and simply just set it on fire with his lighter, ¡°Think of it as a gift for you


    so you wouldn¡¯t be so poor in hell. You¡¯re not gonna live long anyway.¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Calvin¡¯s hands clutched into fists so hard that they could hear them cracking. John was


    unbelievably apathy and vicious and there was no way for Calvin to let that slide.


    ¡°Calvin, calm down. Mary, please talk some sense into him. You used to be Calvin¡¯s girlfriend.¡±


    Since John was being such a jackass, Shirley had to beg Mary to help them.


    Mary was sitting on her high horse and snorted, ¡°What more can I say? He is the one who thinks too


    highly of himself. He knew you are about to die and wants to give us hell. Who would rent this house


    again if someone had died in there? This house is worth hundreds of thousands of dors. What you


    did is unforgivable.¡±


    ¡°Mary, you...¡± Shirley didn¡¯t expect to see a girl who was once so nice to be like that.


    ¡°And don¡¯t ever mention the past again. I¡¯m still disgusted when I think of the food you made me before.


    It was like pig-wash. Even a pig wouldn¡¯t wanna eat that.¡±


    John¡¯s men burst intoughter, ¡°Pig-wash? Doesn¡¯t that mean that they are mama pig and baby pig?


    Hahaha, no wonder why they all stink.¡±


    Calvin couldn¡¯t take it anymore and stepped forward with courage that none of them could see.


    ¡°Keep your mouth shut. If you say that kind of things to my mother one more time, I won¡¯t let you leave


    so easily.¡±


    John paused and then looked at Calvin like he was some kind of foul creature, ¡°Is he tryna pick a fight


    with me? How dare you?¡±


    ¡°Who knows.¡±


    ¡°John, I really wanna punch somebody today. Don¡¯t waste your time talking with him.¡±


    John finishedughing and then red at Calvin, ¡°You loser, I don¡¯t wanna make my hands dirty. Now,


    kneel with that wrinkled old hag. Both of you, kneel.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t know how scary he looked right now, like a life-sucking ghoul.


    Especially his eyes. There was no mercy in his eyes and they looked like he was going to ughter the


    world.


    Calvin nced at him and John shuddered unconsciously, ¡°Asshole, how dare you look at me like that!


    Beat him up now!¡±


    The three men that he brought with him were carrying their baseball bats and cornered Calvin.


    Shirley was terrified and went on begging, ¡°Please, stop this nonsense. Don¡¯t hurt my baby boy.¡±


    One of those guys swung his bat and knocked her to the ground.


    That man didn¡¯t feel sorry at all and was about to hit her again.


    ¡°Shit, you fucking hag. You¡¯re a slum dog just like you son.¡±


    Shirley saw that the bat wasing towards her head and she covered her head subconsciously.


    Then, a big bang.


    The man¡¯s eyes were wide-open because his bat was blocked by an arm and his hands started


    bleeding.


    Calvin¡¯s eyes turned red and his face was distorted, ¡°How dare you hurt my mother!¡±


    Mary was leaning on the car. From her angle, it looked like Calvin was hunching his back because he


    got hit.


    ¡°Calvin, let me give you some advice. Listen to John and kneel. I¡¯ll ask him to let you leave.


    Otherwise, you asked for it and there¡¯s nothing I can do to help you.¡±


    ¡°Ha...¡± Mary heard a tauntingugh. She went forward and looked at Calvin unbelievably.


    ¡°Are youughing at me...¡±


    ¡°I¡¯mughing because you really think too much of yourself.¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Mary didn¡¯t anticipate that Calvin would be the one who said that to her.


    ¡°John, this man has nothing to do with me now. Do whatever you want.¡±


    John hummed and said, ¡°You guys hear that? Do it fast and don¡¯t kill him. Make him stay in bed for a


    few months. After all, he gotta hold his mother¡¯s funeral.¡±


    Those three guys answered with a big teasing smile on their faces, ¡°That¡¯s too kind of you, Mr. John.¡±


    John turned around and walked to the car with Mary.


    Then they heard the noises of the baseball bats and several screams.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°These bastards didn¡¯t know what they¡¯re doing. Based on the sounds they made, his legs must be


    broken. Your ex is gonna crawl his way back home.¡±


    Mary was upset hearing that. She twisted her body in his arms and pouted, ¡°Why do you always bring


    him up? You said you wouldn¡¯t mind that.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t. I¡¯m just kidding. That fool had been together with you for so long and didn¡¯t even touch your


    hands. What a dumb-ass.¡±


    ¡°And it works out great for you, huh...¡±


    While opening the car door, these two were hitting on each other like they were going to get intimate


    right here.


    Just as John was about to open the door, he saw someone¡¯s reflection in the car window and was


    petrified.


    ¡°How is that even possible...¡±


    The next second, an enormous force grabbed his neck and his feet were off the ground.


    Bang! John fell hard on the top of his car and his Benz had a big dent on it.


    John was nearly knocked out by that and before he coulde to his senses, he was lifted in the air


    and tossed onto the car again.


    Bang! The Benz couldn¡¯t take the fall anymore and the tires blew out.


    Mary¡¯s back was against the wall. She covered her mouth and her eyes were filled with fear.


    Was this man with the power beyond her imagination really the coward she used to know?


    ¡°Fuck...how dare you...¡±


    John was vomiting blood now. He was never beaten like this before.


    Calvin was emotionless like a robot. He reached for John again and John flipped over to kick Calvin on


    his chest.


    But Calvin was standing still like he was made of concrete.


    John got scared for real this time. He didn¡¯t know why the man that he just beat up could be a totally


    different person now.


    ¡°You...stop what you¡¯re doing right now.¡± John¡¯s ankles were seized by Calvin. The pain growing from


    his ankles horrified him.


    Calvin didn¡¯t waste any time and snapped them nice and neat. Mary just stood there and watched


    John¡¯s ankles being bent backward.


    ¡°Ahhh...John, are you okay?¡±


    John¡¯s eyes were about to pop out. He couldn¡¯t believe his own eyes.


    Calvin let go of his ankles and John¡¯s legs were swinging from the top of the car like an over-stretched


    spring.


    Calvin turned around and Mary could see his blood-red eyes. She fell down on her knees.


    ¡°I¡­leave me alone.¡±


    She was stuttering and didn¡¯t know what to say. She wanted to beg for mercy but her pride didn¡¯t allow


    her to do that to a man that she despised.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯ty a finger on you.¡±


    Calvin said that like he was a God and she was nothing like an ant.


    Mary was irritated. She thought to herself, ¡°How dare you say that to me? You¡¯re nothing. You¡¯re good


    at fighting huh? John was just tricked and he won¡¯t let this pass. You¡¯re gonna die in a very bad way.¡±


    Thinking of that, Mary wasn¡¯t so scared anymore, ¡°Hmm, you wouldn¡¯t dare to do that. John won¡¯t let


    you live. You¡¯re gonna kill us both? Just do it!¡±


    Watching the woman he once loved acting crazy, Calvin couldn¡¯t feel a thing.


    ¡°Go to the hospital and get yourself a physical examinationter.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who should be tested! You sick little bastard!¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t say anything again. That piece of advice was like a closure to their past.


    When he was beating John, he had already known that John had AIDS and syphilis and he would be


    dead in three months.


    And of course Calvin wouldn¡¯t save him. He even used the dark magic of thepass to speed up the


    progress.


    Consequently, Mary was infected and what was waiting ahead of her was endless torture.


    ¡°What goes aroundes around. It¡¯s all karma.¡±


    Calvin held Shirley up and said, ¡°Mom, let¡¯s go.¡±

 Chapter 5 The Thirteen Needles

    Chapter 5 The Thirteen Needles


    Calvin had checked out several apartments but Shirley hadn¡¯t decided yet because of the rent.


    Even though she had been cured, she was still weak and couldn¡¯t work. So they had to live on a


    budget.


    Calvin didn¡¯t want to disobey her and he swore to himself that he would make a lot of money to give her


    the best life.


    After finding a ce for his mother to live, Calvin immediately went to the Houston family. Everyone


    thought that he was the son-inw of the Houston family. But to the Houstons, he was nothing but a


    Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    servant and they didn¡¯t even need to pay him.


    In the past few days, he didn¡¯te home very often so he couldn¡¯t do the chores around the house.


    He could anticipate how the Houstons were going to treat him.


    Thank God his difficult mother-inw Carrie Houston went to Oakshire for vacation with Rita, Calvin


    wouldn¡¯t need to suffer so much.


    After gaining the power of Master Mndra, Calvin could feel his physical condition was a lot better.


    In the past, he was constantly weak and got sweaty and puffy easily because he couldn¡¯t have enough


    food to eat. So the Houstons always mocked him and called him a ¡°trophy wife¡±.


    And now he had run ten miles and still hadn¡¯t felt tired.


    At the corner ahead, there were a bunch of crowds. Calvin went near and found out there had been a


    car ident.


    In front of a red Ferrari, an old man was lying on the ground. He had got a dent on his forehead and his


    nose and mouth were bleeding heavily. His blood had stained the area nearby and he was about to die.


    Next to this, there was a woman dressed in a pink uniform. She looked quite worried and was dialing


    911.


    The people around all sighed and shook their heads, ¡°What a tragedy. The old man might not have a


    chance to live.¡±


    ¡°Actually, they can¡¯t me it on that woman. The old man was a little deaf and that woman hit him only


    because she was dodging another car that was running a red light.¡±


    ¡°Anyway, she¡¯s in big trouble now. This might cost her at least hundreds of thousands of dors.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry for her. Look at that car. It¡¯s way expensive than that.¡±


    Calvin was looking on in the crowd. Someone next to him was pushing this way, ¡°Excuse me, young


    man.¡±


    ¡°Sir, I think you should better avoid this scene. It¡¯s too much for you to watch.¡±


    Calvin turned around and saw a slender old man with a tobo pipe in his mouth. And the pipe was


    very unique and was shaped like a bird.


    ¡°I know, I just wanna see how I died. That car was way too fast.¡±


    Calvin swallowed a bit and was about to make some room for that old man. Then he knocked into a


    middle-aged man.


    ¡°Stop pushing me. Why would a young man like you be here instead of your office?¡±


    Calvin said quietly to him, ¡°Sir, do you see an old man with a pipe in his mouth here? He¡¯s standing


    next to you.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? What old man?¡±


    Calvin reached out his neck and looked ahead. The old man who was hit by the car was lying there


    with a bird-shaped pipe in his hand.


    And the old man next to him sighed and shook his head after seeing this, ¡°Why a car ident? How


    miserable is that! Well, I don¡¯t wanna see this anymore. I¡¯m gonna go on my way.¡±


    His body began to fade like smoke in the air.


    Calvin subconsciously grabbed his arm like the old man was real.


    The old man was in shock, ¡°Kid, you?¡±


    Calvin calmed himself down. After he knew a few things about his supernatural power, he didn¡¯t get


    startled so easily.


    What he was holding in his hand was the old man¡¯s soul. Once the soul was gone, the man would


    definitely be gone. What if he put his soul back into the man¡¯s body? Would hee back to life?


    He decided to give it a try.


    The doctors had already covered the old man¡¯s head with white cloth and was about to carry him into


    the ambnce.


    Calvin suddenly came forward and drew the doctors¡¯ attention.


    ¡°Dude, what are you doing?¡±


    Calvin lifted his right hand and looked very weird.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to save him.¡±


    The doctors looked at each other and questioned, ¡°Save him? He¡¯s already dead.¡±


    Calvin ignored them and pushed the old man¡¯s soul back into his body.


    The soul lied down as he wished but was only flowing above the body and wouldn¡¯t fall down.


    Calvin put all his strength into this and made the soul intertwine with the right hand. After finished that,


    he had been sweating and breathing sharply.


    ¡°What the hell are you doing?¡±


    The woman who hit the man came and from her perspective, Calvin was being disrespectful to the old


    man¡¯s torso.


    ¡°I¡¯m warning you, insulting a corpse is against thew!¡±


    No matter what she said, Calvinpletely ignored her.


    Next to them, two doctors whispered to each other, ¡°Is that the woman who hit the old man? This would


    cost her a lot of money.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t know who she is? She is the famous entrepreneur, Selena Bentley. Thepensation is


    nothing to her.¡±


    Selena ignored their gossip and grabbed Calvin¡¯s arm. She wanted to drag him away from the torso.


    Calvin suddenly turned to her and yelled, ¡°I need silver needles!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Selena was stunned and let go of his arm subconsciously.


    ¡°Silver needles, the needles used in acupuncture.¡±


    Calvin wanted to use the magic power of the Yin-Yang Compass. But the old man suffered multiple


    fractures and his internal organs were shattered. By the time Calvin was here, he had been dead for a


    while. He wanted to save him, but he didn¡¯t have enough power of the white light because he had used


    too much of it on his mom and himself.


    The only solution was to use the Thirteen Needles from the Book of the Mndra.


    When the Thirteen Needles were shown to the world, there wouldn¡¯t be a single ghost that wasn¡¯t in


    awe.


    But he was not a doctor so he didn¡¯t have any silver needles on him.


    Selena was intimidated by the look on his face which was unquestionably asserted.


    ¡°Give him the needles!¡±


    The doctors hurriedly handed him the needles. Calvin calmed himself down even though this was the


    first time for him to do acupuncture. Under the guidance of the Book of the Mndra, he ced the


    needles on the old man¡¯s chest one by one.


    With every needle in ce, the man soul was stuck to his body a little bit. And by the time the Thirteen


    Needles were done, his soul was finally fully steady.


    Calvin took a deep breath and was extremely exhausted.


    He didn¡¯t expect this to be so tiring.


    Seeing that the old man¡¯s chest was ced with so many needles and he hadn¡¯t been awakened yet,


    Selena thought Calvin was making a fool of them.


    ¡°You...you bastard!¡±


    Regardless of her high heels, she kicked right towards his junk.


    Calvin could sense thating and grabbed her ankle at once.


    Her legs were firm but not muscly. Her ankles were pretty and had no wrinkles on them, by which he


    could tell she had done a lot of work to stay attractive.


    ¡°You...let go of me!¡±


    No man had ever touched her ankles. But this jerk not only grabbed one of it, he also squeezed it


    twice.


    Calvin didn¡¯t mean to take advantage of her. He was afraid that this might dy the treatment and they


    would miss the window.


    His left hand was still grabbing her ankle and his right hand smashed on the old man¡¯s chest.


    Bang! He smashed the old man so hard that everyone around them could hear the noisesing from


    the man¡¯s chest.


    ¡°This young man is way out of line. How could he do that?¡±


    ¡°This old man is miserable enough and that dude still did that to him. We have to call the cops.¡±


    Just as Selena struggled out of his control and was going to kick this jerk¡¯s ass, the old man on the


    stretcher suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m...still alive.¡±


    ¡°Ah...¡±

 Chapter 6 The predicament.

    Chapter 6 The predicament.


    Regardless of the old man¡¯s condition, Calvin hunched his back andy on the ground.


    Once a woman had gone mad, even the Master Mndra could do nothing about it.


    Selena was a bit embarrassed. She once learned Taekwondo and she just kicked him very hard.


    ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to do that.¡±


    Calvin was in so much pain that he became sweaty and couldn¡¯t talk. He just shook his hand.


    And the doctors came up to check the old man¡¯s condition and it turned out the old man was actually


    awakened.


    ¡°Send him to the hospital.¡±


    There was a huge chaos and nobody thought about Calvin until the ambnce had shipped the old


    man to the hospital. Selena came to him in a hurry and threw a bag to him.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry about that. I didn¡¯t know you were saving his life. Are you okay down there?¡±


    Calvin pretended to stay cool and strong but he was actually holding back the pain. And he said, ¡°I¡¯m


    fine. It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    Selena forced herself to stopughing and said, ¡°Great. I just bought this and I want to give it to you as


    a thank-you gift. Please ept it. I have to go to the hospital now. I¡¯m terribly sorry but I can¡¯t chat with


    you right now.¡±


    ¡°Wait, I can¡¯t take it.¡± Even though Calvin was a poor man, but Shirley raised him to be a warm-hearted


    and helping person. He had got a strong sense of aplishment by saving the old man¡¯s life and he


    just couldn¡¯t ept this gift.


    He wanted to get up and give it back to her. But the second he moved his body, he felt intolerable pain


    in his junk.


    Selena got into the race car and rolled down her window, grinning, ¡°Go to the hospital and have


    yourself checked. If something¡¯s wrong, I¡¯ll take the responsibility.¡±


    After having a rest, Calvin felt much better and stumbled to the Houston¡¯s.


    By the time he got there, he saw the front gate was nicely decorated with ornaments and there parked


    all kinds of luxury cars.


    Calvin paused. All of a suddenly, he took out his cell phone and saw a notification on his broke screen.


    Today was Rita¡¯s grandma, Isabel Houston¡¯s 88th birthday.


    Holy cow, how could he forget all about that?


    Calvin checked the time and the dinner hadn¡¯t started yet. He still got the 2000 dors refund from the


    hospital and that might do.


    As he was turning around, he heard a sweet but cold voice, ¡°Why do youe here and note in?¡±


    Calvin¡¯s body trembled a little and felt kind of helpless. And when he turned to her, he smiled to her


    tteringly, ¡°Well, I think we¡¯re running out of seasonings so I wanted to buy some more.¡±


    Rita came out of the door. She was wearing a red tight shirt and a pair of cream-colored high-waisted


    trousers, which showed her beautiful body shape perfectly.


    Calvin swallowed out of thirst. They had been married for two years and Calvin always had the urge to


    be intimate with her every time he met his nominal wife. But he didn¡¯t dare to actually do anything to


    her.


    ¡°Hmm, did you forget what day it is? I reminded you half a month ago.¡±


    Calvin squeezed the bag in his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s grandma¡¯s 88th birthday, the most significant day to


    the Houstons this year. How could I forget that?¡±


    Rita seemed a little less mean, ¡°This is what you have prepared for her?¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t want to ept Selena¡¯s gift at all so he wanted to give it back to her when he had the


    chance to see her again. So he hadn¡¯t checked what was inside the bag.


    To this point, he had to nod, ¡°I don¡¯t know what grandma would like so I picked one myself.¡±


    ¡°Let me see what it is.¡±


    Calvin hid it behind his back, ¡°Don¡¯t ruin the surprise.¡±


    Reader stared at Calvin and thought he wasn¡¯t telling the truth, ¡°We¡¯ve got a lot of guests today and


    none of them like you. You¡¯d better not cause me any trouble today. My mom has juste back from


    Oakshire and she¡¯s in a very good mood. Don¡¯t ruin this for everybody.¡±


    Calvin was humiliated right in his face, but he still nodded.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll help out in the kitchenter.¡±


    Calvin followed Rita in. The spacious living room was crowded with people


    Calvin looked around and was overwhelmed


    Those who hated him the most all came here today and right now they were eyeing him wickedly.


    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this my brother-inw? You are quite a busy man, making all of us wait for you.¡±


    The person who sat there was Vincent, the husband of Rita¡¯s sister.


    He called Calvin a busy man on purpose because everybody knew Calvin was always busy in the


    kitchen and was the most useless man in the Houston family.


    Even though Rita hated Calvin, they were a couple now so she had to save his face in order to save


    herself from embarrassment.


    ¡°Where is grandma? I want her to check out my present.¡±


    Rita was holding a box which seemed very heavy.


    ¡°No wonder why Mrs. Hudson loves her granddaughter so much. Look at the present she prepared for


    her. It¡¯s so huge,¡± Calvin¡¯s mother-inw Carrie said, trying to make her own daughter look good.


    Rita¡¯s aunt snorted, ¡°Just because the box is big doesn¡¯t mean that the present is great. If that¡¯s the


    case, I¡¯ll just need to bring a suitcase here.¡±


    Carrie was offended and wanted to talk back to her. And then Calvin¡¯s father-inw, Lewis Houston,


    stopped her and shook his head.


    Vincent still didn¡¯t want to let it slide easily for Calvin and said, ¡°Calvin, have you prepared nothing for


    today? Even though you are just a live-in son-inw and everything you¡¯ve ever used is from the


    Houston family, you can¡¯t be so cheap about your gift for Mrs. Houston, right?¡±


    Everyone else looked at Calvin in disgust and said, ¡°It¡¯s her 88th birthday and it¡¯s such a big day. How


    dare hee here with empty hands?¡±


    ¡°After all, he¡¯s just a live-in son-inw. He doesn¡¯t even get to eat at the table. Who cares if he doesn¡¯t


    bring any gift?¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right. He is apletely useless person and he will stay that way forever.¡±


    Calvin wanted to muddle through and he didn¡¯t want to give Selena¡¯s present to Mrs. Houston, which


    was the reason why he had been hiding the bag behind his back.¡±


    But now Vincent had beening at him so he had to bring it out.


    ¡°I have prepared a gift.¡±


    Vincent was stunned and he stood up instantly, ¡°Wow, when did Mr. Grinch be so generous?


    Open it and show it to us. Did Rita buy this for you?¡±


    Rita snorted, ¡°Leave me out of this. He prepared that himself.¡±


    Hearing that, Vincent stepped forward, ¡°Then I¡¯ve really got to see what gift my useless brother-inw


    has prepared.¡±


    Vincent was being absolutely rude and impolite. But none of those people thought this was wrong and


    inappropriate, by which everyone could tell how poorly they thought of him.


    Calvin wanted to avoid him but he was afraid that he might break the gift. As he was hesitating, Vincent


    took the gift bag away.


    Inside the bag was a little box. Vincent opened it and saw a little thing that looked like a walnut.


    ¡°What the hell is this?¡± Vincent took out the box and showed it to everybody with a wicked smile.


    ¡°Is this a walnut?¡±


    ¡°Calvin, are you serious? You¡¯re gonna give her a walnut for her 88th birthday?¡±


    ¡°That walnut looks so dirty and nasty. Did you dig that up from a garbage bin?¡±


    Vincent sniffed it and then covered his nose, ¡°It¡¯s stinky like garbage. Calvin, are you trying to give Mrs.


    Houston a hard time?¡±


    The other people also started pointing fingers at him, ¡°I thought he was just a loser. Turns out he¡¯s not


    only useless but also mean and evil. If Mrs. Houston sees this, she¡¯ll be pissed off.¡±


    ¡°Calvin, for you, it¡¯s better not to give her anything. What was he thinking? He really thought we are not


    gonna check out his gift?¡±


    ¡°Ay, poor Rita. Why would such a pretty girl end up with him?¡±


    And now Calvin was overwhelmed by their usations...


    All of a sudden, Carrie came at him and pped him in the face. She scorned, ¡°You slum dog, get out


    of my house! I don¡¯t know why I could let my daughter marry you. Wait for it. I¡¯ll deal with you after the


    dinner.¡±


    Calvin felt wronged and he couldn¡¯t believe that Selena would give him a walnut as a thank-you gift.


    What hurt him the most was the way Rita looked at him. Her eyes were cold and filled with


    disappointment. It looked like if she had a chance to p him in the face, she would do it.


    Vincent tossed the box to Calvin and taunted, ¡°Take your Goddamn walnut and take a hike.¡±


    The walnut fell on the ground and cracked. It seemed like it was broken.


    Calvin reached for it. But the second he touched the walnut, he had all the information about it in his


    mind.

 Chapter 7 Not Just a Filthy Walnut

    Chapter 7 Not Just a Filthy Walnut


    ¡°A kind of potion, Basilisk Venom, extremely rare, the ability to extend life expectancy.¡±


    Calvin was rapturous. He didn¡¯t expect that the Book of the Mndra to be incredibly functional. It


    could cure people and appraise treasures.


    This thing called Basilisk Venom could extend his life? Then he couldn¡¯t waste it like that.


    He hastily licked the transparent juice on his hand. It tasted bitter like bitter almonds. Once he took it in,


    he felt it was flowing throughout his body, which felt veryfortable.


    Seeing that Calvin wouldn¡¯t even waste the walnut that he took from garbage, Vincent despised him


    even more, ¡°You only deserve to eat garbage. Take a look at my gift...¡±


    He took a wooden box from his wife, Betty Houston. Even the box alone was very pretty.


    ¡°Look at what Vincent¡¯s got for Mrs. Houston! He must have put a lot of efforts in it. The box alone was


    very pricey. It¡¯spletely hand-painted. Gorgeous and not cheesy. Mrs. Houston is gonna love it.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t put it like that. He¡¯s not the only young man who put efforts in their gifts. You can¡¯t say so many


    nice things about him just because he¡¯s your son-inw.¡±


    ¡°Stop it. Why are you arguing about this? As long as Mrs. Houston is happy, we¡¯re happy. And no one


    can be worse than that loser over there.¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Carrie put her hands on her chest and she seemed like she didn¡¯t feel quite well. Lewis held her arms


    and walked her to another ce tofort her.


    Vincent opened the wooden box proudly, ¡°I¡¯m going to feed your sight on.¡±


    Inside the box was a piece of jade carved withplex patterns. It looked very expensive.


    ¡°How does it look like? I went to a temple and got this jade amulet on my trip to Oakshire. A great


    wizard gave his blessings to this gift.¡±


    Calvin was standing next to him, having some hard feelings. He didn¡¯t know that Vincent also went to


    Oakshire. Did he and Rita meet up...


    Vincent had been having an eye on Rita and he wanted to steal her away. But Rita never crossed the


    line so Calvin had to pretend he didn¡¯t know anything about this.


    Carrie saw the amulet and was acting even weirder.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that the jade amulet that we saw before? It¡¯s worth three hundred thousand dors.¡±


    Hearing that, Vincent got cockier. He was busy wondering how to mention the price and brag about it.


    Everyone in the living room started gasping, ¡°Three hundred thousand dors! When did that guy get


    so rich?¡±


    Vincent said with confidence, ¡°Uncle, merely three hundred thousand is getting rich to you? My


    The most important thing is to make grandma happy.¡±


    Vincent was enjoying the spotlight and then he turned around to waved at Calvin, ¡°Calvin, can you see


    it clearly from that distance? If you don¡¯te over, you¡¯ll never be able to see this again your entire


    life. We¡¯re all juniors and shouldn¡¯t be so petty when ites to our elders. Even though I¡¯m far richer


    than you, you shouldn¡¯t just dig up a walnut from a trashcan and give it to grandma as a gift.¡±


    All the rtives eximed about the huge gap between these two sons-inw.


    Calvin stared at the jade amulet and felt something was wrong.


    Noticing that Calvin was staring at it, Vincent put it on his hand.


    ¡°Admire it as much as you want. Don¡¯t me us for shaming you. Nobody would do such things like


    you. The elder ones deserve our love and respect. Grandma is 88 years old now and it¡¯s a sign that


    tells us all of us are blessed with fortune and health...¡±


    Vincent was practically spitting in Calvin¡¯s face. Just as Calvin was wondering why he was suddenly so


    hyped up; he saw several peopleing from behind.


    It was Isabel Houston, their grandmother. She was carefully held by a servant.


    ¡°It¡¯s Vincent, right? I heard what you said back there. Aren¡¯t you a sweetheart?¡±


    Calvin was calling Vincent a phony in his mind. He could never be that hypocritical.


    Vincent acted surprised and went forward to hold her arm, ¡°Grandma, why are you here? The dinner


    won¡¯t be started so soon.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I got bored back there and wanted to talk with you kids. What are you talking about?¡±


    Vincent hurriedly took the amulet from Calvin and got on his knees.


    ¡°Grandma, I prepared this for you. I hope you¡¯ll like it.¡±


    Mrs. Houston gently touched the amulet and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen anything like this. But I can tell from


    the carving that it is very precious. It¡¯s very thoughtful of you.¡±


    Vincent acted to be humble and said, ¡°Grandma, we all take your birthday very seriously. Why don¡¯t


    you guys present your gifts to grandma to make her happy?¡±


    Vincent was like the leader of the juniors in the Houston family now.


    Everyone brought out their gifts and Rita brought her grandma a golden peach, which was not too big


    but was worth more than ten thousand dors.


    Mrs. Houston took a look around and was very pleased, ¡°You¡¯re all great kids. I appreciate it.¡±


    Vincent raised his eyebrows and grinned wickedly, ¡°Grandma, no matter how much it takes, we¡¯re


    happy as long as you¡¯re happy. But someone else doesn¡¯t agree.¡±


    Rita was stunned and knew things just went wrong. Vincent was such a jackass.


    Mrs. Houston¡¯s eyes were zed with anger, ¡°Who?¡±


    Vincent turned around and looked at Calvin, ¡°Calvin, why don¡¯t you bring it here yourself?¡¯


    Calvin took the box and walked toward them slowly.


    He wasn¡¯t scared that he would be scorned by Mrs. Houston. He was afraid that he would spill the juice


    of the Basilisk Venom.


    ¡°You are...¡± Mrs. Houston took a look at him and didn¡¯t recognize who he was.


    ¡°Hahaha, he¡¯s a nobody in our family. Mrs. Houston even knows who the florist is and doesn¡¯t know her


    grandson-inw.¡±


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t deserve to be the son-inw of the Houston family. Even I feel ashamed because of him.¡±


    ¡°Carrie had been bragging in front of us for all her life until she has this so-called son-inw. This is


    karma.¡±


    Calvin indeed felt embarrassed. But what could he do?Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Mrs. Houston, I¡¯m Calvin Whitney. I¡¯m...Rita¡¯s husband.¡±


    Rita looked away. She was disgusted when he referred himself as his husband.


    If it weren¡¯t for...She would never agree to marry him.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you,¡± Mrs. Houston looked at him grimly, ¡°and what did you get for me?¡±


    ¡°Well...¡± Calvin didn¡¯t know how to exin this. If he said it is a kind of rare potion, no one would


    believe him. Instead, they would mock him relentlessly.


    Vincent seemed very content about Calvin¡¯s silence, ¡°What? You¡¯re too embarrassed to say it? I¡¯ll say it


    for you. Grandma, he wants to give you this filthy rotten walnut, hahaha.¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Mrs. Houston smacked on her chair, ¡°It¡¯s my 88th birthday and you¡¯re giving me a freaking


    walnut? Are you trying to make me mad?¡±


    Seeing her angry like that, Calvin wanted to exin and he said without thinking twice, ¡°Mrs. Houston,


    that¡¯s not the case. It¡¯s the Basilisk Venom.¡±


    Everyone was shocked and then burst intoughter.


    ¡°Hahaha, this is hrious. That is the funniest joke I have ever head.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s good at making things up. What did he say about that walnut? He seems desperate to make her


    feel better.¡±


    ¡°Basilisk Venom. Never heard of it. Mrs. Houston, do you believe that?¡±


    Mrs. Houston was overwhelmed by wrath. She had never been humiliated like this before.


    Vincent was basicallyughing with tears. He said, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t be mad at him. He¡¯s trash so of


    course he gives you trash as a gift. It¡¯s only logical.¡±


    Lewis, Carrie and Rita were all feeling so awkward that they wanted to leave the room.


    After they finishedughing, Calvin gently closed the box and was a different man now.


    He had been tolerant enough. But he was only rewarded with injustice.


    So he was done putting up with them.


    Calvin looked at Vincent and said coldly, ¡°Even if my gift is trash, it¡¯s way better than the deadly amulet


    you gave her.¡±


    Calvin¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud but firm.


    The Houstons were shocked. What was he saying? A deadly amulet?


    Vincent pointed his finger at Calvin and yelled, ¡°Nonsense!¡±

 Chapter 8 The Deadly Amulet

    Chapter 8 The Deadly Amulet


    Of course, Calvin wasn¡¯t talking nonsense. When Vincent tossed to amulet to him so he could admire


    it, Calvin noticed that there was something wrong with the amulet.


    Technically, it wasn¡¯t jade, it was the bone of a child.


    There was a type of ck magic existing in Oakshire. It was conveyed by the bones of children, which


    carried the curse of a witcher.


    This so-called jade amulet was made out of the bone of a child. Vincent didn¡¯t dare to do harm to Mrs.


    Houston. He must be fooled and spent three hundred thousand on a deadly weapon.


    Vincent did spend three hundred thousand so he was very confident that Calvin was lying.


    ¡°Calvin, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so vicious. I did point it out that you gave grandma a filthy walnut but


    was I wrong? It was trashy indeed. And you hold a grudge and say that about my amulet? Too bad that


    it isn¡¯t your call. Look at this.¡±


    Vincent showed him the bill, which proved that the amulet did cost him three hundred thousand.


    All the rtives nodded, ¡°Yes, it is worth three hundred thousand. Vincent wasn¡¯t lying.¡±


    ¡°All you ever do is being jealous and petty. Are you a real man?¡±


    Vincent¡¯s wife Betty was furious, ¡°Vincent shouldn¡¯t tease you but how can you embarrass him in front


    of everyone? You¡¯re not my family from now on and apologize to my husband right now!¡±


    Calvin wanted to talk back because she never treated him like family before.


    But to be honest, Rita never saw him as her husband and Carrie never saw him as her son-inw. So


    he had nothing to say about it.


    Rita¡¯s heart was simmered with hatred and she red at Calvin who was surrounded by usations


    and hate.


    Being with him brought her nothing but shame. She was done with it and wanted closure.


    ¡°Calvin!¡± Rita shouted at him. Calvin looked up at her.


    Rita felt he was staring at her and was a little regretful. But then the regret was overwhelmed by wrath.


    ¡°Apologize to Vincent.¡±


    Calvin was shocked that she would say that to him.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Vincent felt like he was walking on air. He looked at Calvin and said, ¡°What? You can¡¯t say it out loud?


    Now you want your dignity back? Then what about me? When you said those things in front of


    everyone, did you think about the consequences?¡±


    Calvin took a deep breath and said, ¡°I can apologize. If I am wrong, you can even ask me to kneel.¡±


    Calvin turned to Mrs. Houston, ¡°Mrs. Houston is a famous collector. Can you let her check whether this


    is jade or not?¡±


    Everyone was astonished. He was abnormally stubborn unlike usual.


    Was he really telling the truth?


    And was this amulet truly deadly like he said?


    Mrs. Houston was still holding the amulet. She didn¡¯t take a look at it and she red at Calvin.


    ¡°What do you expect me to say!?¡± she said with anger. Rita kept giving Calvin a look and wanted him to


    stop this nonsense.


    Calvin stood straight and all he wanted was justice.


    ¡°Mrs. Houston, this amulet is not made of jade and once you carry it, it will bring you bad luck and...¡±


    Just as Calvin was about to tell her all the bad things it could do, Mrs. Houston smacked her walking


    stick on the tiles and stood up unsteadily, ¡°You shut up. You and Vincent are my grandsons-inw. You


    never helped out with the family business and harmony and all you do is telling lies and making


    troubles for all of us. Vincent handpicked this jade amulet. How could it be fake? What is fake is not the


    amulet but you.¡±


    Calvin was shocked at her lies.


    He was absolutely sure that Mrs. Houston definitely had a better judgement about it and could see the


    problem. She liked collecting jade ware and even some jewelry appraisers woulde to her for help.


    She unquestionably had the ability to tell it was not jade.


    Calvin forced himself to calm down. No, she knew the truth but still lied about it. She was deliberately


    taking Vincent¡¯s side.


    He was desperately disappointed. Why couldn¡¯t she be fair?


    Did he only deserve to be wronged?


    Mrs. Houston was trembling out of anger. Vince took his opportunity and yelled at Calvin, ¡°Calvin,


    you¡¯re being too petty. It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t like me, but you don¡¯t have to give grandma a hard time.


    Today is her birthday. You really want to sabotage this?¡±


    ¡°I sabotage this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all my fault?¡±


    Betty chimed in sarcastically, ¡°I thought someone said that if he was wrong, he would kneel and


    apologize, right?¡±


    Rita was stunned by her words, ¡°Betty, stop butting in.¡±


    Betty didn¡¯t like Rita in the first ce and now Rita dared to teach her a lesson. She shouted, ¡°Mind


    your own business. You¡¯d better keep an eye on your husband. If you can¡¯t, don¡¯t let him bring shame


    on our family. I feel embarrassed for you.¡±


    Carrie burst into tears and started hitting Calvin, ¡°You douche bag! Why would I let my daughter marry


    you?! Shame on you! This birthday party is ruined because of you and you still have the courage to


    stay in this room. Piss off!¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t dare to hit her back and just flinched.


    Betty wouldn¡¯t just let it slide, ¡°What a loving mother-inw! It looked like she¡¯s hitting him but actually


    she is trying to help him get away with this. Not today! I¡¯m gonna teach you a lesson. Kneel.¡±


    Other rtives were either gloating or yelling that Calvin should kneel.


    Calvin roared with sorrow and wrath, which intimidated everyone, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll kneel. But I¡¯m not wrong.


    You can insult me but you cannot be unjust. What goes aroundes around. Don¡¯t regret for what


    you did.¡±


    Mrs. Houston was stunned and even got scared.


    Calvin took a step back and there was lightning in his eyes. But no one saw it because he lowered his


    head.


    Calvin got down on one knee. The second he kneeled, a thunder struck and all people were startled.


    ¡°What happened? Is that a thunder?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, and it felt so close. Why would there be a thunder on such a nice day?¡±


    ¡°The moment that kid kneeled, the thunder came. Was that a coincidence?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s by chance. He¡¯s a loser. Even God would ignore him.¡±


    Seeing him on his knees, Vincent smiled like a champion, ¡°Calvin, learn from your mistakes. Grandma,


    it¡¯s a big day for you. Don¡¯t be mad. It¡¯s about time for dinner.¡±


    Mrs. Houston waved her hand and said, ¡°Okay. My appetite is ruined anyway.¡±


    Calvin stood up and Vincent waved his hand at him, ¡°Stop being the pain in the ass here and go to help


    out in the kitchen.¡±


    He helped Mrs. Houston sit down but the wooden chair crumbled when she sat on it. Mrs. Houston was


    caught off guard and fell down on the wood chips.


    ¡°Ahhh...¡± A painful scream astonished everyone.


    ¡°Help her!¡± Rita was the first one to respond. She yelled and they all came to help Mrs. Houston up.


    Her back was stained with blood. A lot of chips got stuck in her flesh. The wounds weren¡¯t deep but she


    lost much blood.


    ¡°Take her back there and clean her wounds.¡±


    Vincent and the other guys lifted her up and went backward. But within a few steps, Vincent slipped


    and fell very hard. And his hands were holding her legs tightly. And snap...


    ¡°My leg...¡±


    Vincent¡¯s face went pale and he apologized again and again.


    Calvin knew the deadly amulet was working.

 Chapter 9 Million Dollar Treasure

    Chapter 9 Million Dor Treasure


    After a few minutes of silence, the living room started to be noisy again.


    Everyone felt freer since Mrs. Houston wasn¡¯t here.


    All the men in the Houston family had gone to attend her, leaving the women and children in the living


    room.


    ¡°That doesn¡¯t seem right. It was such a mess and I nearly forgot. What did that loser Calvin say?


    Deadly amulet?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I heard that too. What did he mean? Is there really something wrong with the jade amulet


    Vincent gave her?¡±


    Betty argued, ¡°Auntie, stop spreading rumors. Vincent spent three hundred thousand on that amulet


    and you saw it. What could possibly go wrong? If you believe that loser, you are a loser like him.¡±


    ¡°Why are you talking to me like that? I didn¡¯t mean to say that. Then you tell me, why did that chair


    shattered? Take a look for yourself.¡±


    Betty nced at the chair and also felt something was off. How could a chair made out of rosewood


    crumble like a house of cards?


    Anyone would think this was odd?


    Just as they were talking, Vincent rushed towards them and asked, ¡°Which one of you have the


    number of the burns department in City Hospital? Call them to send people here.¡±


    Betty grabbed Vincent and asked, ¡°Vincent, what happened? Who got burned?¡±


    Vincent pushed her aside and said, ¡°Who else could it be? It¡¯s Mrs. Houston. This is so weird. We were


    disinfecting her wounds with iodine and it caught on fire. Mrs. Houston is...¡±


    ¡°What? The alcohol caught on fire...Did any one of you smoke?¡±


    Vincent scratched his head, ¡°No, we don¡¯t even have a lighter on us. How would we smoke? That¡¯s


    why I think this is weird.


    Betty got scared and whispered, ¡°Honey, is it really the jade amulet...¡±


    ¡°Shut up. Don¡¯t be such a paranoid like Calvin. By the way, where¡¯s that loser? Let him get the doctors.


    Why can he get to hang around and do nothing? We¡¯re exhausted...¡±


    Rita now found out that Calvin was not in the living room. No one knew where he was.


    Everybody else was looking for him. All of a sudden, the TV broadcast a news.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, the annual autumn auction kicked off in Chelston. Unlike previous auctions,


    this year''s main draw was precious medicines, like the Basilisk Venom, which was sold for $1 million


    and is said to have the power to extend life and maintain beauty for women...¡±


    Every woman wanted to look young and pretty forever. Betty was a bit jealous and said, ¡°Honey, let¡¯s


    go to the auction next time. If we evere across good stuff like that, we will definitely buy it.¡±


    All of a sudden, someone yelled, ¡°Guys, look at the Basilisk Venom. Is this the same one as the walnut


    that Calvin had?¡±


    ¡°No way. It¡¯s worth a million dors. How could that loser afford it?¡±


    ¡°Take a good look. It¡¯s dark and looks like a walnut.¡±


    ¡°Oh, my God! It is...Extend life and maintain beauty...¡±


    Then they heard someone¡¯s high heels click-ck down the way and it was Carrie. She was running


    out of the door.


    ¡°Follow her. Can¡¯t let her take all of it!¡±


    ¡°Count me in! Wait for me!¡±


    Carrie rushed out of the mansion and looked round. She finally found Calvin.


    At that time, Calvin was swallowing the venom with its shell.


    ¡°No!¡±


    Calvin turned to her and swallowed the whole thing.


    ¡°Mother...¡±


    Carrie came at him and wanted to reach her hand in his mouth. Calvin got scared and flinched.


    ¡°Mother, what are you doing?¡±


    Seeing that Calvin had swallowed it, she got crazy, ¡°You jerk! Is worth a million dors and you


    swallowed all of it?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s million dors? Mother? What are you talking about?¡±


    Carrie shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t call me mother. You are not my son-inw anymore. Rita, divorce him! Right


    now!¡±


    Rita looked at Calvin and was very puzzled, ¡°Where did you get something so expensive?¡±


    Calvin was stunned. ¡°It¡¯s expensive?¡±


    ¡°A million dors!¡±


    ¡°Huh...¡± Calvin was also in shock. He didn¡¯t know that Selena would be so generous that she would


    give away something worth a million dors so easily.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know that...¡±


    He wasn¡¯t lying. But the women in the Houston family wouldn¡¯t believe that and then they cornered him.


    ¡°You¡¯re so ungrateful. We had been nothing but kind to you and you repay us with this? You kept all of


    it to yourself.¡±


    ¡°Even if you don¡¯t want to share with us, you can at least share with your inws. This is so


    disappointing and hurtful.¡±


    Calvin finally understood what happened. Even though he didn¡¯t know how they knew the Basilisk


    Venom was precious, they felt regretful anyway.


    Calvin stood straight and interrupt their usations.


    ¡°You seem to forget that I told you long time ago that this is the Basilisk Venom and it can extend life.


    What were you doing back then?¡±


    ¡°Vincent said this was nothing but a rotten filthy walnut and was dug up from garbage bin. What were


    you doing back then?¡±


    ¡°Mrs. Houston threw it on my face like it was garbage. What were you doing back?¡±


    Each of Calvin¡¯s questions was like a p on their faces.


    What were they doing?


    They blindly believed that Calvin was a loser when he became the live-in son-inw of the Houston


    family.


    What nice gift could a loser possibly give? As a result, even though he had imed that this was the


    Basilisk Venom, no one believed him.


    They rather believed that Vincent spent three hundred thousand on a so-called jade amulet.


    Even though the amulet nearly killed Mrs. Houston.


    ¡°Ah...¡±


    It was another scream, which was so creepy that it gave them goose bumps.


    ¡°Crap! Mrs. Houston¡¯s bed crumbled! Somebody help!¡±


    In the middle of the night, Calvin went to a cottage which was the servants¡¯ dormitory in the Houston


    family.


    As the son-inw of the family, Calvin not only had to live with the servants, he also got the worst room.


    He climbed up the stairs and then something hit him.


    Next thing he knew, Carrie shouted from behind, ¡°Get out of here! Don¡¯t you evere to our house


    again!¡±


    Carrie rested her arms on her hips and her eyes were wide opened. She pointed her finger at Calvin


    and yelled, ¡°You are a jinx and always bring us bad luck. With you here, the Houston family will never


    soar! Piss off or I¡¯ll have someone break your legs.¡±


    Of course she was mad. She had been humiliated by all the rtives tonight and this wasn¡¯t the first


    time that happened.


    She had been keeping her anger bottled up not because she was a tolerate person but because she


    had to be one when the timing wasn¡¯t right.


    Today she went to the shaman and he told her that the doom of the Houston family had ended and


    Calvin was useless now.


    And the most irritating thing was this loser swallowed all of the million-dor Basilisk Venom himself.


    A long-lived loser would still be a loser.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    That was supposed to be Mrs. Houston¡¯s gift and she was currently staying in her house. So that thing


    would ultimately be hers.


    Thinking of that, Carrie got even angrier and med it all on Calvin.


    ¡°Piss off now!!!¡±

 Chapter 10 Let鈥檚 Get a Divorce

    Chapter 10 Let¡¯s Get a Divorce


    The servants were all peeping at this scene in front of the gate.


    ¡°We¡¯re all human beings. Who can take that kind of insult? I bet he will definitely leave the Houston


    family.


    ¡±I don¡¯t think so. He has been insulted all these years and he must have gotten used to this. Also, who


    would wanna leave a hot girl like Miss Houston? If I were him, I wouldn¡¯t leave even if they beat me up


    every day.¡±


    Seeing that Carrie was tossing his stuff everywhere, Calvin didn¡¯t get mad. Even he didn¡¯t know why he


    was so peaceful right now.


    After she finished cursing and was gasping heavily, he looked up at her calmly.


    ¡°Mom, what are you so outrageous about? It¡¯s bad for your health.¡±


    Rita patted on Carrie¡¯s back and was surprised that he asked her this question when he clearly knew


    the answer.


    Carrie was overwhelmed by her wrath again and she stared at Calvin, ¡°Are you ying dumb with me?


    Everything happened tonight was caused by you and you have the guts to ask me that question? How


    can you be so shameless?¡±


    Calvin was still calm and peaceful, ¡°Tonight? What did I do? I didn¡¯t talk back or hit back.¡±


    ¡°Vincent humiliated me and I didn¡¯t say anything.¡±


    ¡°The aunts humiliated me, and I let that slide.¡±


    ¡°And you, you pped me in the face and I didn¡¯t say anything either.¡±


    ¡°So please tell me, what else should I do?¡±


    Carried was shocked by his words. Was he still the coward he used to be? He didn¡¯t yell but his voice


    was firm and determined.


    No way. This must be an illusion caused by her anger.


    ¡°You are wrong. Today¡¯s my mom¡¯s big day and you ruined it. Do you know how much did we spend on


    this party? You douche. From the second you came to this family, you never made a penny and kept


    making troubles for us. Why would we keep you here?¡±


    ¡°These two years, I paid for everything you¡¯ve ever used or eaten and you ungrateful bastard kept good


    stuff like that to yourself. I won¡¯t mind if you don¡¯t give that to me. But what about Rita? She¡¯s your wife


    and you didn¡¯t even think about sharing with her? Rita, you have to divorce him.¡±


    Rita didn¡¯t feel okay about this either but she was calmer than Carrie.


    ¡°Mom, it¡¯s toote. Just put this aside for tomorrow. You¡¯ve been busy all day.¡±


    Carrie threw off her hands and said, ¡°No, if I don¡¯t get this straight today, how could I fall asleep


    tonight? It¡¯s one million dors! And he drank it all!¡±


    Every time she thought about the phrase ¡°extend life and maintain beauty¡±, Carrie would feel extremely


    painful and regretful and she would hate Calvin even more.


    Calvin snorted, ¡°You were the ones who said it was a rotten walnut from a trashcan and no one had


    ever believed in me the whole time.¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Carrie stuttered. He was telling the truth. She thought it was indeed a rotten walnut even now.


    ¡°Stop talking back to me! Let me ask you one more time, why did you say Vincent¡¯s jade amulet is


    deadly? Do you know how mad my mother was? If anything happened to her, you¡¯ll never make it up


    for her even if you die.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t respond and just sneered at her.


    Rita frowned and didn¡¯t know why he could smile at this point.


    Something was terribly wrong with Calvin today.


    She couldn¡¯t tell which part was wrong but Calvin was like a whole new person today.


    ¡°Why are youughing? How dare you? Do you have any consciousness?¡±


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Calvin finally spoke, ¡°What is consciousness?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve never made any money. But I have been doing all the chores around the house since day


    one.¡±


    ¡°For two years, for more than seven hundred days, I have been a servant to you and father since my


    wedding night. I never stopped attending your needs for a single day. And you think I don¡¯t have any


    consciousness?¡±


    ¡°And what did you do to me? You swore at me and hit me any time you want. I eat leftovers and live in


    a utility room where the sun never shines. And you think I don¡¯t have any consciousness?¡±


    ¡°Even a servant needs to be paid. And you said I have never made any money?¡±


    His words were firm and passionate. Even the servants nodded and agreed with him.


    Rita bit her lips and started to think back. He really had been having a rough time in these two years.


    But Carrie didn¡¯t buy it, ¡°What, you feel sorry for yourself? Then just leave. Who are you toin?


    You think I don¡¯t know how much money your sick mother has been costing us? Rita, how much money


    did you give him this time?


    Rita whispered, ¡°Mom, stop it.¡±


    ¡°Are you taking his side now? Just because he¡¯s your so-called husband? You think I wouldn¡¯t know if


    you don¡¯t tell me?¡±


    Carrie turned to Calvin and continued yelling, ¡°What more do you have to say? I made you a servant?


    Then make some money for once, for God¡¯s sake.¡±


    ¡°You think all of us like Vincent more than you? Yes, you¡¯re right. Because he deserves it. Do you know


    how much money he makes each year? Hundreds of thousands of dors! He benefits the whole


    family. I¡¯m not gonna lie to you, I¡¯m going to let Rita start working in hispany. We¡¯ve talked about


    the sry, starting from two thousand dors a month. Can you do that for us?¡±


    Rita was astonished, ¡°Mom, you didn¡¯t tell me that.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know. Just go to the office the day after tomorrow. Rita, it¡¯s all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t let


    him drag you down. Now, I won¡¯t let him do that to you anymore.¡±


    Calvin couldn¡¯t maintain calm anymore. Anyone could tell that Vincent had been having an eye on Rita


    for a long time.


    If she really started working for him, Vincent would definitely do something terrible to her.


    He looked at Rita, hoping she could turn that down immediately.


    ¡°Mom, stop yelling.¡±


    ¡°Fine, then promise me, get a divorce with this loser and then start working for Vincent. If you promise


    me you would do what I say, I¡¯ll stop.¡±


    Rita was in a dilemma. She subconsciously gave Calvin a look and he didn¡¯t respond at all.


    Rita was disappointed by his reaction and thought to herself, ¡°What a useless man! You don¡¯t know


    what Vincent wants to do to me?¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to be mad now?¡±


    ¡°Okay, I promise. Calvin, apologize to my mother and clean up this mess.¡±


    She didn¡¯t notice the desperateness in Calvin¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°No need. I don¡¯t want any of these things anymore. And from now on, I¡¯m no more the servant of the


    Houston family.¡±


    Rita and Carrie were both stunned. Rita frowned and said, ¡°Calvin, I finally calm her down. Can you


    stop making a scene?¡±


    Calvin said coldly, ¡°So you also think I was making a scene? Okay, then I¡¯m gonna make a bigger one.¡±


    He looked at her in her eyes and his eyes were no longer filled with affection.


    Rita suddenly had some hard feelings. What was he going to do?


    ¡°Rita, let¡¯s get a divorce.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°What did you say?¡±


    Carrie was so outrageous, as if Calvin said something unforgivable.


    And she was the one who wanted them to get divorced.


    ¡°How are you say that!¡±

 Chapter 11 The Regret

    Chapter 11 The Regret


    ¡°Yes, I want a divorce!¡± Calvin was utterly calm.


    Lewis had just left his mother¡¯s room to look for his wife.


    He heard what Calvin said and was petrified.


    Carrie¡¯s whole body was shaking and her teeth were chattering.


    This loser, douchebag, slum dog.


    A man like him dared to ask for a divorce?


    Who gave him the confidence to say that? Or worse, was he having an affair?


    That must be the case. Why else was he so bold to talk back to her?


    Rita was just as shocked. She didn¡¯t like Calvin at all and had gone all the ways to divorce him.


    But after two years, she had seen a ton of virtues in him.


    He was attentive, tolerant, persistent...


    She thought she almost convinced herself to ept him as her husband and be nicer to him.


    But now she felt like she was being a dumbass. Turned out Calvin didn¡¯t want to live with her at all.


    He didn¡¯t want her anymore.


    She couldn¡¯t just swallow her pride and acknowledge that. With her beautiful almond eyes filled with


    sorrow, she trembled and said, ¡°Say that again!¡±


    Calvin wasn¡¯t feeling good about this and he never wanted to take it this far.


    He clutched his fists as if he was encouraging himself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get a divorce.¡±


    Rita roared, ¡°Why!¡±


    ¡°Because we¡¯re done!¡±


    ¡°Because I¡¯ve had enough of this disaster!¡±


    ¡°Because...I¡¯m tired of this.¡±


    Actually, Calvin also wanted to say that it was because she agreed to work for Vincent.


    Calvin didn¡¯t care about this but he cared about how she felt about this.


    He also believed that the reason why she agreed was because she didn¡¯t want to make a scene out of


    this.


    But what if one day Carrie made her marry Vincent? Would she choose to obey her?


    There were some boundaries that couldn¡¯t be crossed no matter what happened.


    Calvin was disappointed. Maybe he shouldn¡¯tpare himself with Carrie.


    Because he wasn¡¯t good enough for her.


    So, it was better to let go and go their separate ways.


    Rita looked at Calvin and all she thought about was his words. They were done...He had had enough of


    this disaster...He was tired of her...


    What disaster? Why would he say that?


    Then Carrie ran downstairs and pped Calvin in the face.


    But this time, Calvin grabbed her hand and stopped her.


    ¡°In the past, I¡¯m your son-inw and you could do whatever you wanted to me.¡±


    ¡°But from now on, you¡¯ll never get your way!¡±


    Carrie struggled and got off of him. She couldn¡¯t deal with the sudden change of Calvin¡¯s attitude.


    He should be acting like a coward who would do whatever she wanted him to do.


    ¡°A divorce? You¡¯re out of your mind! Who are you to say that? Do you know what you are? Nothing but


    a live-in son-inw.¡±


    ¡°Once you married to the Houston family, you¡¯ll always be a Houston. We were kind enough that we


    didn¡¯t change yourst name to Houston and you repay us with the proposal of a divorce? You¡¯ll die a


    Houston for the rest of your life unless we kick you out of this family.¡±


    Calvin was surprised. He thought she was the one who wanted them to get a divorce.


    ¡°You always wanted us to get divorced, right? Now, I¡¯ll make your wishe true.¡±


    Carrie did change her mind not because of Calvin but because of her pride.


    The Houston wasn¡¯t prestigious or noble but was kind of well-known.


    If these two got divorced, the gossip and rumors would haunt the Houston family endlessly.


    And some people might think that there was something so wrong with Rita that even a loser like Calvin


    would despise her.


    At that time, the reputation of both Rita and the Houston family would be ruined and torn apart.


    Carrie put her hands on her hips and scorned, ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re a better man now, aren¡¯t you? And you


    don¡¯t need us anymore because you ill mother isn¡¯t sick anymore, right? You ungrateful bastard. Rita,


    now you know what a jackass he is. I shouldn¡¯t have forced you to divorce him at the beginning.¡±


    It was as it was. Calvin didn¡¯t want to rake up the past and just wanted this to be over. And then, they


    could go their separate ways.


    ¡°Do whatever you please. I¡¯ll give back the money spent on my mother¡¯s treatment.¡±


    When it came to money, Carrie was even cockier.


    ¡°Give back the money? How are you gonna do that? Do you have any money on you?¡±


    ¡°You really thought that just because you brought the million-dor Basilisk Venom, we¡¯ll believe it was


    yours? You must have stolen it or found it somewhere. You want a divorce? Okay. Youined that


    you didn¡¯t get paid for being a servant. But why didn¡¯t you mention that every penny you¡¯ve ever spent


    came from our family and we¡¯ve spent so much on your mother¡¯s treatment. Did I ever ask you to give


    the money back?¡±


    Carrie was right and that was one of the reasons why Calvin was never confident in front of the


    Houstons.


    Shirley was constantly in a bad condition and the medical bills had piled up as years went by.


    He didn¡¯t have any money so Rita had always covered it for him.


    If he really did the math, they had costed her more than ten thousand dors.


    Seeing that Calvin was silent, Carrie got carried away, ¡°I don¡¯t ask for a lot. If you give me fifty thousand


    dors, I¡¯ll agree on the divorce.¡±


    Fifty thousand was too much for Calvin.


    ¡°I can repay you in other ways like working in the Houston¡¯s clinic.¡±


    ¡°Phew, it was fifty thousand, not five bucks. Do you even know anything about medicine? What can you


    do for the clinic? Do the cleaning? A janitor only makes two hundred dors a month and it will take you


    twenty years to save up five thousand if you don¡¯t spend any money. By the time you get the money,


    Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Rita would be a middle-age woman. And you want to divorce her when she¡¯s not young and pretty


    anymore? You¡¯re not only a coward. You¡¯re also a jerk.¡±


    Calvin was speechless. Carrie was really good at calling people names.


    ¡°Then what do you want?¡± Calvin threw the question to Carrie and he made up his mind that he would


    do whatever she said.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Carrie snorted, ¡°If you want an early divorce, I¡¯ll let you. Rita, go to the Rosewood Chelston


    Clinic with him for that project.¡±


    Rita was stunned, ¡°Mom, stop it. How can he help out? He didn¡¯t know anything.¡±


    ¡°Just do what I say. What? You didn¡¯t want to divorce him?¡±


    ¡°Mom...¡± Rita didn¡¯t know what to say and stormed back to her room.


    Calvin quietly packed up his stuff. Carrie had locked up his room and left.


    Calvin looked up and saw all the lights of the three-floor building were off at once.


    The servants didn¡¯t want to lose their jobs because of him.


    Calvin took his quilt to the garage and slept on the ground,


    The temperature there was pretty low and he was wearing a T-shirt. But he didn¡¯t feel cold at all.


    He felt that there was some sort of golden source of energy flowing throughout his body and he felt


    pretty warm.


    All of a sudden, he heard the sound of high heelsing towards him and he immediately thought of


    Rita.


    Then a thick quilt was thrown at him. Rita turned around and left.


    Calvin didn¡¯t say anything either. He held back his feelings and felt it was time to end this.


    But Rita returned to him unexpectedly. She was standing in the shadow.


    ¡°Calvin, are you serious about this?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Just because my mother doesn¡¯t treat you right?¡±


    Rita¡¯s tone irritated him and he blurted out, ¡°Isn¡¯t that enough?¡±


    ¡°You...Fine. You want a divorce? I won¡¯t let you get what you want. I want you to know that you¡¯re


    nothing without the Houston family.¡±


    After that, Rita kicked on the car door and the Benz started buzzing squeakily in the night.

 Chapter 12 Getting Knocked Out

    Chapter 12 Getting Knocked Out


    He stayed up all night.


    At the break of dawn, Calvin suddenly opened his eyes and got up at once.


    He was astonished that he was feeling strangely good even though he hadn¡¯t slept all night. And every


    cell of his body was more alive than ever.


    He looked at himself in the rear-view mirror and realized he was a few years younger.


    ¡°Can it really extend life expectancy and stop me from aging?¡±


    ¡°I should¡¯ve left some for her.¡±


    ¡°But she wouldn¡¯t believe me.¡±


    Afterst night, he knew the Houstons wouldn¡¯t leave him anything to eat for breakfast.


    Calvin didn¡¯t feel hungry at all. He was standing in front of the garage and the force in his body made


    him want to throw a fist. Abruptly, something crossed his mind.


    ¡°Mndra Fist!¡±


    The Book of the Mndra?


    Calvin calmed himself down and started reading the Book of the Mndra quietly.


    The Mndra Fist came from the origin of the force.


    There were nine moves but they were constantly changing.


    Calvin mocked the moves and raised a fist. Bang! There was an air st in front of his fist.


    Calvin stopped and looked around. He didn¡¯t expect this to be so loud.


    He must find a quiet ce for his exercises so that no one would know what he did.


    He opened his fist and found out the Yin-Yang Compass was dim and the signs on it were quite blurry.


    Back when he had just be the heir of the Mndra Master, he clearly remembered that there


    were both shining white and dark lights on the Yin-Yang Compass. How could it be...


    Was his overusing the mysterious power the reason why the Yin-Yang Compass became the way it


    was.


    This was possible.


    Calvin tried to connect with thepass but he couldn¡¯t get any responses.


    So he had to figure it out himself.


    Calvin checked the time and it was around 6 a.m. Rita must be sleeping at this time.


    He was bored and started jogging around the garden.


    Just as he was getting a runner¡¯s high, he heard a scream.


    It came from Mrs. Houston¡¯s room.


    Was the cursed bone of a child really that powerful?


    Calvin didn¡¯t give it a second thought and ran to her room. If something really happened, he didn¡¯t want


    a person to die under his nose.


    Calvin rushed into Mrs. Houston¡¯s room and found her lying in the bed with her hands choking her own


    neck. She looked like she was suffering from great pain and torture.


    Calvin came forward and called her name a few times. But Mrs. Houston was looking weird. Her face


    distorted from pain and then the pain shifted to rapture, which was quite horrifying under the dim light.


    ¡°What...what happened?¡±


    Calvin knew he had to do something but he didn¡¯t know where to start.


    ¡°Dummy,¡± The Book of the Mndra sounded like he had just woken up.


    ¡°You know what to do?¡± Calvin asked hastily.


    ¡°Of course I do. It was just a puny ghost. Nothing to be afraid of. You used your power before, right?¡±


    Calvin nodded, ¡°Yeah, but I thought I could only save lives. Can I also bust ghosts?¡±


    The Book was irritated by his question, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the loss of my power, I would p you in the


    face. Your power can not only enable you to bust ghosts, you are also capable of destroying gods.


    Killing a ghost is nothingpared with that.¡±


    Calvin was in a hurry and didn¡¯t have time to listen to The Book bragging.


    ¡°What should I do?¡±


    ¡°Idiot. Why would the Master choose you? Remember, you owe me one.¡±


    All of a sudden, a golden light struck and Calvin was confused about what it did.


    But when he looked at Mrs. Houston, he was shocked.


    There was a ghost of a bony child on her. The ghost was clinging to her body and its long tongue


    wrapped around her neck tighter and tighter.


    ¡°It¡¯s really you, you little thing.¡±


    Calvin knew what he should do and grabbed the toothpicks on the nightstand.


    He didn¡¯t have any tools and the toothpicks would do.


    Several toothpicks were ced on her body.


    The ghost started howling and Mrs. Houston was also screaming.


    Seeing that the ghost was confined, he reached out to pull its tongue.


    ¡°Calvin!¡± someone yelled from behind.


    Calvin turned around. Lewis, Rita, Carrie and some servants were standing at the door in shock.


    Rita was trembling out of anger. She heard her grandma in her sleep and thought she was dreaming.


    She didn¡¯t go downstairs until she heard several hasty footsteps.


    Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    When she came, she saw Calvin was choking her with his bare hands, trying to kill her grandmother.


    Rita didn¡¯t expect Calvin to be like that.


    Last night, she was still worried about him and brought him a thick quilt.


    This two-faced monster resented Mrs. Houston just because she favored Vincent.


    Rita couldn¡¯t take it anymore and smacked a teapot on his head heavily.


    The teapot broke.


    A warm stream of blood flowed down his forehead.


    ¡°You wanna kill her just because she said some bad things to you?¡±


    Carrie joined in and kicked him twice, ¡°You monster! Call the police and have him arrested!¡±


    Even Lewis, who had always been nice to Calvin, was mad, ¡°Calvin, get out of our house now! I don¡¯t


    want to see you anymore.¡±


    Blood blurred his eyes.


    Rita mustered all her strength to hit him and Calvin was feeling dizzy. He stumbled and sat on the bed.


    He was feeling drowsy.


    He couldn¡¯t hear anymore. He could only see the Houstons pointing fingers at him and yelling.


    But he couldn¡¯t hear a thing.


    Calvin shook his head and found the ghost lying on Mrs. Houston¡¯s chest, grinning.


    No, he couldn¡¯t give up like that.


    Calvin struggled to his feet and the way he looked was quite terrifying.


    Lewis stood in front of his wife and daughter and roared, ¡°You bastard! You want to harm us?¡±


    Calvin was staggering and looking around the room. Then he saw a piece of broken chinaware which


    was stained with blood and grabbed it.


    Seeing that, Rita dragged her father away, ¡°Calvin, stop acting crazy. If you dare to hurt my family, I


    won¡¯t let you get away with this.¡±


    Calvin was pale and he said bitterly, ¡°Your family...Right, they¡¯re your family.¡±


    He used all of his strength and aimed at the ghost¡¯s tongue with the piece of chinaware. He didn¡¯t know


    whether it would work or not.


    But this was the only thing he could do.


    The Houstons saw he was about to cut Mrs. Houston¡¯s throat and got horrified.


    ¡°How dare you!¡±


    ¡°Monster...¡±


    ¡°Ahhhh...¡±


    A haunting scream filled the room with terror. It didn¡¯te from a human being.


    Everyone in the room was petrified. The scream was terrifying as if it was from hell. It couldn¡¯t be the


    sound of Mrs. Houston.


    After that, Calvin fell to the ground and went into aa.


    ¡°What happened to him?¡±


    Rita ground her teeth and said, ¡°He had iting. Go and check grandma.¡±


    Everyone went to see Mrs. Houston and ignored Calvin.


    ¡°Mrs. Houston, are you alright?¡±


    ¡°Grandma, wake up!¡±


    Mrs. Houston slowly opened her eyes and everyone was finally relieved.


    ¡°Mrs. Houston has God¡¯s blessings and that bastard couldn¡¯t hurt you.¡±


    ¡°Calvin was acting like a monster. He nearly killed her.¡±


    ¡°Why are you still standing there? Bandage the wounds!¡±


    The family doctor opened his medical case and took out the bandage. He gently wiped out the blood on


    Mrs. Houston¡¯s neck, only to find out there was no wound at all.


    ¡°How is it possible? Where did all this bloode from?¡±


    ¡°It was from that bastard. It seems like he didn¡¯t get his way. He deserved it!¡± Carrie spat on Calvin and


    kicked him again.


    Rita was confused. She did saw him cutting her grandma¡¯s neck with the broken chinaware.


    Just as she was still wondering, Lewis yelled, ¡°Look, the toothpicks on mom¡¯s body also fell down.¡±


    Rita came forward and found out that the toothpicks weren¡¯t stuck in her body and didn¡¯t even leave a


    mark.


    What the hell was going on here?

 Chapter 13 The Truth

    Chapter 13 The Truth


    Mrs. Houston coughed and could finally utter a word.


    ¡°Why...why are you all here? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Carrie said, ¡°Mother, you don¡¯t know anything? That bastard Calvin nearly killed you.¡±


    ¡°Who? Calvin?¡±


    Mrs. Houston shook her head, ¡°It wasn¡¯t him. It was a ghost, a dark ghost. He was on top of me and I


    couldn¡¯t breathe. I wanted to call somebody to save me and his tongue wrapped around my neck,


    trying to suffocate me. I thought I was going to die and then I didn¡¯t know why the ghost started


    screaming. There were a lot of things stuck in his body and his tongue was cut off. Then I was finally


    saved.¡±


    Rita stared at the toothpicks and thought about how Calvin was tearing something up and tried so hard


    to cut her grandma¡¯s neck.


    Was he trying to save her?


    Carrie didn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Mother, you must be dreaming.¡±


    But Mrs. Houston was quite sure, ¡°It wasn¡¯t a dream. I remembered it clearly. I was possessed. I also


    remembered that someone rushed here and saved me.¡±


    Carrie didn¡¯t know what to say this time. Was that loser really saving her?


    Lewis didn¡¯t have a clue either, ¡°Mom, let me help you sit for a while.¡±


    But Mrs. Houston¡¯s whole body was stiff and she just couldn¡¯t sit up. She was yelling that something


    was on her chest.


    The doctor checked several times and didn¡¯t know what to do.


    Rita suddenly approached and grabbed the jade amulet hanging on Mrs. Houston¡¯s neck.


    ¡°Rita, what are you doing? Vincent gave it to me. Why did you take it away from me?¡±


    Mrs. Houston got upset and rolled over to take it back.


    Everyone was astonished.


    Carrie¡¯s eyes were wide open and she said, ¡°Mother, you¡¯re sitting by yourself.¡±


    Mrs. Houston realized what happened and said, ¡°Yeah, why am I sitting? Oh, this is strange. My chest


    doesn¡¯t feel weird anymore.¡±


    Rita looked at the amulet and finally understood what was going on.


    ¡°Grandma, you wanna know the reason?¡±


    ¡°You know why?¡±


    Rita showed her the amulet and said, ¡°Do you remember what Calvin said about this amulet? He said it


    was deadly.¡±


    Carrie gave Rita a look. She wanted her to stop taking Calvin¡¯s side and upsetting Mrs. Houston.


    Mrs. Houston wasn¡¯t happy to hear that, ¡°You bought that crap?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t believe him before. But now I do. Grandma, think about it. How many strange things have


    happened ever since you took the amulet?


    Rita¡¯s words got everyone thinking.


    She was right. Ever since Mrs. Houston wore this amulet, the wooden chair fell apart, Vincent fell down


    and broke her leg and the alcohol caught on fire, which burned her back.


    And now she was haunted by a ghost in her sleep.


    All these weird things happened to her at the same time overnight. They had to believe her.


    But Mrs. Houston still couldn¡¯t believe that it was because of the amulet.


    ¡°All of these were just idents. Maybe I was just having a nightmare!¡±


    Rita was a bit mad that her grandma still refused to believe Calvin.


    ¡°Grandma, we¡¯ve seen what happened. We all wronged Calvin.¡±


    Carrie was feeling ufortable and she whispered, ¡°No way. How did he know that?¡±


    ¡°Mom, grandma, we are wrong this time. This amulet is deadly. We can¡¯t keep it.¡±


    Then she tossed the amulet onto the ground and it was stained with a few drops of blood.


    ¡°Ahhhh...¡± The amulet started screaming and then it was getting quieter. Atst, it was finally silent.


    The jade amulet broke into pieces and didn¡¯t shine like jade anymore.


    Lewis picked one piece up and took a closer look at it. Then, he was terrified.


    ¡°It is not...not jade, it¡¯s a bone.¡±


    ¡°What...¡±


    Everyone took a step back and flinched.


    ¡°Yes, it is the bone of a child...¡± Calvin said


    Then he held onto the desk and got up.


    ¡°Are you...are you alright?¡± Rita asked. He had bled a lot and looked incredibly pale.


    Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    But Calvin ignored her.


    ¡°Mrs. Houston, you had worn this amulet for a couple of hours. You¡¯re haunted now. And from now on,


    your life will be clouded by misery and misfortune. Take care.¡±


    After saying that, he covered his head and walked out of the room.


    The room was quiet.


    Turned out he was actually trying to save a life. But he was cursed and even beaten by so many


    people.


    He looked so sad and disappointed.


    His body wasn¡¯t the only thing that was traumatized today.


    Lewis sighed, ¡°We¡¯ve made a huge mistake.¡±


    Carrie was still being mean, ¡°So what? You really think he wouldn¡¯t do things like that?¡±


    ¡°Why are you still like this? He did nothing wrong from the very beginning. We are the ones who are


    wrong the whole time.¡±


    Sensing that his husband was ming her, Carrie went mad, ¡°Lewis, what¡¯s that supposed to mean?


    So I am the one to me? Didn¡¯t you suspect him before? You also hit him and Rita smacked his head.


    And now I am the bad guy? Are you throwing me under the bus?¡±


    Lewis was stunned, ¡°You¡­you are unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°Lewis, say that one more time. Now you think I¡¯m unbelievable...¡±


    This couple fought their way back to their room.


    Calvin washed away the blood on his face and changed his clothes. He took his quilt and threw it in the


    garbage pile.


    Then, he walked towards the Rosewood Chelston Clinic.


    Now he had nothing else on his mind. He just wanted to find a way to pay the money back to the


    Houston family.


    A car passed by him.


    ¡°Hey,¡± Rita called, but Calvin didn¡¯t stop for her.


    Rita put her foot down and roared in front of him.


    The cold look in his eyes made her stunned and forget what to say.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± They had been married for two years. Calvin couldn¡¯tpletely give her the cold


    shoulder.


    ¡°Are your...are your head okay?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Where are you going? It¡¯s too early in the morning. You won¡¯t be able to get a taxi.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just wandering around!¡±


    Rita didn¡¯t feel right about this. Even though she knew she was wrong this time, the way Calvin talked


    to her hurt her a little.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget we have an appointment with the Rosewood Chelston Clinic today.¡±


    Calvin nodded, ¡°I know. I¡¯m heading there.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then hop in.¡±


    Calvin just stood there and didn¡¯t get in the car.


    He just looked at Rita because he knew clearly that Rita had realized her mistake and still hadn¡¯t


    apologized to him. She should because he deserved to be respected.


    Rita wanted to say she was sorry for a few times but she just couldn¡¯t say it.


    And she couldn¡¯t ept the way Calvin looked at her.


    She thought he made a promise that he would love her forever. Why couldn¡¯t he tolerate the mistakes


    she made?


    ¡°You¡¯re gonna get in or not!¡±


    Calvin was silent...


    ¡°Then walk your way there! I¡¯m warning you, if you¡¯rete and ruin this project, you¡¯ll never get a


    divorce with me.¡±


    Then the car sped off.


    Calvin¡¯s heart was aching. Why would it be so hard for her to say she was sorry? Maybe she didn¡¯t


    care about his feelings at all.


    He kept walking and remembered the time they spent together. It was bittersweet but he still found it


    beautiful.


    But now...


    Never mind. Just forget about it.


    No matter how beautiful it was, it could always be forgotten in time.


    Calvin jogged his way to the clinic. By the time he got there, the clinic wasn¡¯t in its business hours yet.


    Just as he was about to ask around to find where the director¡¯s office was, he found a beautiful woman


    It was Selena and she seemed to be quite worried.

 Chapter 14 A Death Hook

    Chapter 14 A Death Hook


    Calvin was a little guilty to see her. After all, he had swallowed the million-dor Basilisk Venom.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Selena saw him. Before he could answer, she took his hand.


    Calvin wanted to get away from her but Selena kept staring at him and said, ¡°I was just wondering how


    to find you. Follow me.¡±


    Selena dragged him to the elevator.


    Rita didn¡¯t expect him to arrive so early and she also didn¡¯t expect him to be holding hands with a pretty


    girl.


    Was that girl the reason why he wanted a divorce?


    Calvin was speechless. Was this God¡¯s n?


    As they got on the elevator, Calvin got off her hand and kept his distance from Selena.


    ¡°Oh right, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°Calvin Whitney!¡±


    Selena nodded, ¡°After they sent the old man in, he was in a good condition. But this morning the clinic


    called me that things have changed and they wanted me toe...¡±


    Selena was gibbering and didn¡¯t notice the look on Rita¡¯s face.


    ¡°You are the one who saved his life. You know how to cure him, right?¡±


    Selena didn¡¯t know what to do. Since they came across, she put all of her hopes on him.


    ¡°Let me see him.¡±


    ¡°Okay, please help him.¡±


    Rita listened carefully and found out they weren¡¯t what she thought they were.


    Could Calvin really save lives? Why did he learned how to do that?


    Rita took a look at Selena and felt she knew her somewhere.


    The elevator door opened and Selena took Calvin¡¯s hand again. Her hands were soft and cold, which


    ignite his desire to keep her warm.


    Rita followed them outside before she knew what she was doing.


    Outside the ward, several doctors were discussing worriedly.


    ¡°Doctors...¡±


    They saw Selena and hastily said, ¡°Miss Bentley, you¡¯re here. He is currently in a very bad condition.¡±


    ¡°Howe? He was doing wellst night.¡±


    ¡°His head was heavily injured. Maybe the brain damage led to internal bleeding.¡±


    Selena said angrily, ¡°The reason why I hired you here is because I want an answer. I don¡¯t want an


    uncertain answer.¡±


    Seeing that Selena had lost her temper, the doctors hurriedly said, ¡°Miss Bentley, trust me, we have


    done everything we can. Also, we¡¯ve invited an expert in brain damage, Dr. Lee Marcus. He¡¯ll be here


    with us to give us his diagnosis. He should be here by now.¡±


    And he came.


    An old man with a rather young face came out of the elevator. He was wearing a suit and holding a


    walking stick.


    ¡°Dr. Marcus, you finally came.¡±


    Rita was astonished. Dr. Marcus was quite famous and his clinic, Dr. Marcus''s Clinic was way better


    than the Houston''s Clinic. He had more than ten clinics in Chelston.


    Speaking of experts, he would be the first that crossed their minds.


    Lee Marcus paced himself and was expectedly calm.


    ¡°Why the hurry? Why can¡¯t you let a poor old man finish his breakfast.¡±


    Dr. Marcus seemed to be in a bad mood because they were rushing him.


    Selena calmed herself down and said politely, ¡°Dr. Marcus, I¡¯m Selena Bentley from Bentley Group.


    The man in the ward was injured because of me. If you could save him, I¡¯ll give you whatever you


    want.¡±


    Dr. Marcus had heard of Bentley Group.


    ¡°Rest assured, even if he had already stepped in heaven, I¡¯ll bring him back to the earth.¡±


    He seemed to be overly confident.


    Calvin was about to follow them into the ward but was pulled aside by Rita.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    ¡°Saving a life.¡±


    Rita was annoyed, ¡°Are you out of your mind? The doctors and an expert are here. They don¡¯t need


    you to cause any trouble for them. Do you even know anything about medicine?¡±


    Rita would never believe that he owned The Book of the Mndra.


    ¡°I¡¯ve read a few books about it...¡±


    Rita got pissed off, ¡°Since when did you be so cocky? You read some books and thought you


    could be a doctor? You¡¯ve always been a humble and honest man. Why did youe to this?¡±


    She was still questioning him. Calvin suddenly said, ¡°Yes, I am a humble man. So humble that people


    looked down on me and I still acted like nothing happened.¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Rita was furious, ¡°You¡¯ve got a lot of anger? Alright, throw your temper at me. My family


    wronged you. I¡¯ll apologize on behalf of them.¡±


    Calvin said coldly, ¡°No need for that. Don¡¯t worry. If anything bad happens, it¡¯s on me.¡±


    ¡°I, I thought you¡¯re gonna go to a business meeting with me, right? Once the deal is done, all your


    debts will be cleared.¡±


    ¡°We got enough time for that. Lifees first.¡±


    Then he ran into the ward, leaving Rita stomping on the ground madly.


    ¡°You onlye here for Selena!¡±


    But Calvin had already gone into the ward and could hear nothing.


    The old man was lying on the bed in aa.


    ¡°Dr. Marcus, around 5 a.m. today, he had gone into aa and his heart rate has been decreasing.


    His blood pressure and blood oxygen are all dropping rapidly. We¡¯ve tried a lot of methods but they all


    didn¡¯t work. If we do nothing effective, he¡¯ll stop breathing in less than half an hour.


    Dr. Marcus nodded, ¡°He is in danger. Please move aside and I¡¯ll try my way.¡±


    One of the doctors was excited to hear that, ¡°He¡¯s going to use his magic power? The old man will be


    alright soon!¡±


    Dr. Marcus proudly took out his tools. Just as he was going to work his magic, someone stopped him.


    He turned around and it was Calvin.


    Calvin looked at him seriously, ¡°You¡¯re not saving him, you¡¯re killing him.¡±


    Several doctors came up to stop Calvin, ¡°Who are you? The man is dying. Don¡¯t make us any trouble.¡±


    ¡°Miss Bentley, is that your friend? Can you send him out?¡±


    Selena stared at Calvin puzzledly. She didn¡¯t know why Calvin was trying to stop him.


    ¡°Dr. Marcus, you¡¯re trying to use the soul hook to bring him back to life, right?¡±


    Dr. Marcus snorted, ¡°I didn¡¯t know a young man like you would know so much about this.¡±


    ¡°But based on his conditions, he is too weak for the soul hook and can¡¯t take the power. If you insist


    doing that, he would vomit blood and die.¡±


    The doctors thought he had got a pointed and stopped dragging him. They all didn¡¯t know what to do.


    ¡°Hmm, you dumb kid is talking nonsense. I know what I¡¯m capable of and you know nothing. How dare


    you teach me what to do?¡±


    Calvin was trying to say more about this but Dr. Marcus straightforward put the soul hook on the old


    man¡¯s chest.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    After his work was done, the old man responded soon.


    ¡°See, he seemed to be much better.¡±


    ¡°His eyes are moving. He¡¯ll wake up any sooner.¡±


    ¡°What a great doctor! This is quite effective,¡±


    ¡°Kid, why you stop chipping in now? Go on. You¡¯re quite talkative.¡±


    These doctors started to mock him but they didn¡¯t notice the expression on Dr. Marcus¡¯s face.


    There were nine moves in the Soul Hook and he only knew the first three moves. Because of these


    three moves, he became a famous expert. But this time he only used the first move and it was more


    effective than ever.


    The old man did open his eyes. But the next thing they knew, he vomited blood and he stopped


    breathing.


    ¡°His heart...is not beating anymore.¡±


    ¡°This is...a death hook...¡±

 Chapter 15 The Real Soul Hook

    Chapter 15 The Real Soul Hook


    ¡°How is this possible!¡± Dr. Marcus¡¯s eyes were wide open. Was the kid right? Was the old man going to


    die because of this?


    No, he couldn¡¯t let them find out he didn¡¯t know what to do.


    Dr. Marcus calmed himself down and finished his two other moves. The man stopped vomiting blood


    and he seemed to get better.


    ¡°Oh, he¡¯s better now. I was nearly scared to death back then.¡±


    The doctors were whispering to each other but none of them found out that he still wasn¡¯t breathing.


    ¡°Something¡¯s wrong. Why is his heart not beating anymore? Dr. Marcus, what happened?¡±


    Dr. Marcus shook his head and sighed, ¡°There is nothing I can do now. It was toote.¡±


    Selena took a step back and couldn¡¯t believe that the old man was dead.


    Her heart was aching. She still hadn¡¯t found the old man¡¯s family. But there was no use for that. He was


    already dead.


    Calvin saw the man¡¯s soul sitting on the bed again. He rushed to him and choked his throat.


    The Yin-Yang Compass started swirling and the white light slowly flowed into the old man¡¯s body.


    His soul was still struggling and resisted being in this body.


    Calvin mustered all his power and there wasn¡¯t enough white light to confine the man¡¯s soul and stop it


    from escaping the body.


    ¡°What are you doing? He¡¯s gone. Stop doing that to his body.¡±


    From the doctors¡¯ perspective, Calvin¡¯s face distorted and he was trying to choke the old man like he


    was his nemesis.


    Calvin ignored them and had no time to waste. The old man was in a very bad condition and his soul


    was no longer in his body.


    The Yin-Yang Compass was running out of energy and he couldn¡¯t use the white light anymore.


    Was there really no way out?


    And then, a golden light came and he saw a line of golden letters which indicated that the Soul Hook


    could save the man.


    The Soul Hook? Dr. Marcus just used that and it caused blood loss.


    Calvin was still in shock. And then a golden light went straight into his head and he knew everything


    about the Soul Hook now.


    Seeing that Calvin was emotionless, Selena called his name gently, ¡°Calvin, let go of him.¡±


    Calvin came to his senses and grabbed Dr. Marcus¡¯s tools.


    Dr. Marcus gasped, ¡°What are you doing? Stop insulting the corpse! Why are you still standing there?


    Stop him!¡±


    The doctors all came at Calvin. In their mind, Calvin was a soulless monster.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care if I¡¯ll get arrested today. I¡¯m gonna kick your ass!¡±


    Calvin¡¯s left hand stopped the doctors and his right hand worked his magic on the man¡¯s forehead.


    And it worked immediately.


    The man¡¯s soul was nailed onto his forehead. It started twisting but couldn¡¯t struggle out of this.


    Calvin freed his hands and yelled, ¡°Get off of me! Stop getting in the way!¡±


    Selena was stunned, ¡°Calvin, what do you mean? You can save him?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t let them interrupt me and he wille back to life.¡±


    The soul was extremely vulnerable. Once it escaped the body, it would fade away and break into


    pieces.


    Dr. Marcus snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t believe him. Even the Soul Hook couldn¡¯t save him. How could he do that?¡±


    Calvin ground his teeth and said, ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re doing it wrong.¡±


    ¡°What did you say? How dare you say that about the Soul Hook!¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t want to be polite anymore, ¡°Watch and learn. I¡¯ll only do it once. How much you get to


    learn this depends on whether you¡¯re gifted or not.¡±


    After saying that, he started using the Soul Hook on the man¡¯s forehead.


    The doctors were going to stop him but then Dr. Marcus waved at them, ¡°Wait!¡±


    He stared at Calvin and found out he was really using the Soul Hook.


    ¡°You bastard dared to stole that from me! I won¡¯t let you get out of this easily.¡±


    Calvin ignored him and paid all of his attention on the tools in his hand.


    Calvin did what The Yin-Yang Compass told him to do and conveyed the white light into the man¡¯s


    body.


    Then the old man¡¯s entire body was shimmering.


    The Soul Hook formed a pattern and connected every part of his body and brought him back to life.


    The soul was backed inside his body and his temperature was getting higher now.


    Calvin stood there and the dynamic electrocardioscanner was indicating that the man¡¯s heart was still


    not beating.


    Dr. Marcus was relieved. How could Calvin steal the Soul Hook from him and do better than he could?


    ¡°What else do you have to say now? Miss Bentley, you brought him here. You should be the one to


    deal with him.¡±


    Selena didn¡¯t know what to do now. She med it on herself and questioned why she trusted him so


    much. Maybe he was just luckyst time and saved the old man. Maybe the old man was destined not


    to die that day.


    Rita burst through the door. She was standing outside the whole time and knew what happened in


    here.


    ¡°Calvin, why are you still lying? Apologize now.¡±


    Dr. Marcus said coldly, ¡°Apology is useless. Hemitted a crime. You can look it up yourself. How


    many years does he have to serve in prison after insulting a corpse?¡±


    Rita took a few steps back and got mad. She had warned Calvin so many times not to be a hero. Why


    couldn¡¯t he just listen to her?


    She knew he was trying to prove that he was not a loser. But that required strength, not force.


    This time, she didn¡¯t know how to save him from this mess and she didn¡¯t want to do that anymore. She


    was sick and tired of this.


    Calvin looked at Rita. He was kind of touched when she barged in for him.


    ¡°I need a few minutes.¡±


    ¡°The Soul Hook has already confined his soul and it has already gone back to his body. This would


    take a while.¡±


    Calvin¡¯s words were quite mysterious and the doctors couldn¡¯t believe that.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, he is lying. He¡¯s trying to get out of this by saying that.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t trust him. He¡¯s a good liar. Don¡¯t be fooled by him.¡±


    ¡°Just call the police. He deserves to be put into prison.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t react to them at all. All he cared about was Selena¡¯s decision on this.


    Selena was moved by the confidence in his eyes. She was frowning, from which he could tell she was


    struggling inside.


    Rita turned to Selena and said, ¡°Miss Bentley, he¡¯s my husband and I know what he is capable of. He


    did too many wrong things today. Miss Bentley, please forgive him...¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait a few minutes.¡±


    Everyone in the room was stunned.


    But Calvin smiled. She was the only that could get him.


    Rita was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t even utter a single word. Selena just met Calvin. Why would she


    trust him so much?


    Rita was annoyed by this somehow and didn¡¯t feelfortable about this.


    Calvin made sure that the soul was back in the man¡¯s body. The next step was the most essential part.


    He took out the tools on the man¡¯s body.


    The Soul Hook had nine moves and they were all coherent.


    It was his first time to do this so he wasn¡¯t so sure.


    Now it was time to witness the miracle.


    He calmed himself down and took out one tool, and it was nothing.


    The second one was the same


    Dr. Marcus snorted, ¡°Let¡¯s see what else you¡¯ve got.¡±


    The third one was pulled out and the monitoring equipment reacted to it.


    ¡°Look...¡± Someone gasped.


    Selena looked up and found out the man¡¯s heart started beating again.


    ¡°Calvin...¡± Selena didn¡¯t know how to exin what she was feeling right now. She covered her mouth


    and didn¡¯t want to interrupt him.


    Calvin was finally confident and pulled out three more tools and the man came back to life.


    ¡°He¡¯s alive...This is unbelievable.¡±


    Selena couldn¡¯t hold back her tears anymore and hugged Calvin.


    ¡°Calvin, thank you so much...¡±From N?velDrama.Org.

 Chapter 16 Jealousy

    Chapter 16 Jealousy


    Everyone was in shock and didn¡¯t saw what Calvin and Selena was doing.


    Except Rita.


    Her teeth were chattering out of astonishment and anger.


    ¡°Calvin, how dare you cheat on me like that?¡±


    Dr. Marcus saw that the old man was back to life and his conditions became stable, he fell to the


    ground.


    ¡°It was really the Soul Hook and he knows all of the nine moves.¡±


    ¡°He didn¡¯t steal this from me. How is that even possible?¡±


    He knew the first three moves but he had never seen the next six moves.


    The next six moves could save a man from death. This was divine and magical.


    At the beginning, he was so cocky that he nearly killed the man.


    The kid he looked down upon saved that man and brought him back to life. He was on the next level.


    Calvin noticed Rita was staring and pushed Selena away.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, I¡¯m d that it worked. Doctors, the old man was still weak and vulnerable. Please take


    good care of him.¡±


    They all nodded and felt ashamed of their behaviors before.


    Calvin was still so humble in front of them and respected them.


    ¡°Mr. Whitney, please rest assured, we¡¯ll try our best to take care of him.¡±


    Rita was amazed because she could see the admiration in their eyes.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Which Calvin had never got from others...?


    ¡°Miss Bentley, gentlemen, I still got something to do and I need to leave now.¡±


    Calvin was about to leave and then his hand was held by someone.


    He turned around and it was Dr. Marcus. He was on his knees, looking respectful and humble.


    ¡°Mr. Whitney, please take me as your student.¡±


    Then Mr. Marcus was about to kiss his ring.


    Calvin stepped aside and said, ¡°Dr. Marcus, what are you doing?¡±


    He didn¡¯t even dare to look up, ¡°I was being snobby and arrogant. I thought I was an expert ever since I


    learned how to use the Soul Hook. But today I get to witness Mr. Whitney¡¯s power and I realized how


    stupid and shallow I was. Please, Mr. Whitney, teach me the other six moves. I know I am being rude


    but please say yes and teach me.¡±


    Calvin hurriedly wanted to hold him up but the man was too stubborn and didn¡¯t want to stand up.


    So he had to squat and said, ¡°Dr. Marcus, you¡¯re being too kind. I was just messing around and got


    lucky. I¡¯m not good enough to teach you.¡±


    Dr. Marcus knew it would be hard to convince Calvin to teach him the Soul Hook.


    ¡°Mr. Whitney, I know you don¡¯t believe my sincerity. In the past, I used the first three moves to save a


    lot of lives. But I also failed many times. I thought it was their destiny. Today I get to see the magic of


    the nine moves and I finally know how ignorant I was. Thinking of all the lives I failed to save, I realized


    they wouldn¡¯t die if it weren¡¯t for my arrogance. I¡¯m so regretful for that...¡±


    Dr. Marcus was in his seventies. He was crying out of guilt and regret, which touched Calvin quite a lot.


    The doctor¡¯s job was to save lives. Every life that a doctor saved would bring him or her pride which


    was more precious than money.


    Likewise, every life they couldn¡¯t save would break their spirits.


    ¡°Dr. Marcus, please get up.¡±


    He sighed and thought he didn¡¯t impress Calvin.


    Seeing him miserable like that, Calvin smiled, ¡°Dr. Marcus, based on your age, you could even be my


    grandfather. It¡¯s not right for you to be a kid¡¯s student. Since you want to learn the Soul Hook, of course


    I¡¯d love to teach you.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Dr. Marcus looked at him and was amazed.


    ¡°You¡¯re willing to do that?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, sure. No matter how great the Soul Hook is, only using it to save lives can realize its value.


    Otherwise, if I keep it to myself, it would be useless and meaningless.¡±


    Dr. Marcus was overwhelmed by his words and wanted to get down on his knees again and Calvin


    hastily stopped him, ¡°Please don¡¯t do that. If you don¡¯t mind, we can be friends. Please don¡¯t talk about


    being my student again or else I¡¯ll just run off.¡±


    Dr. Marcus nodded excitedly, ¡°Great, great. I didn¡¯t expect to be so lucky and honorable before the day


    I die.¡±


    Calvin wrote down the spell and gave it to him. He told him if he had any questions about this, he could


    alwayse to him.


    Dr. Marcus carefully hid the spell in his pocket.


    After everything was finished, Calvin checked the time and was about to leave.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, contact me anytime you need my help.¡±


    Selena nodded and looked at him with affection.


    ¡°Okay, Calvin. If you need anything, I¡¯ll always be there to help...¡±


    Before Calvin could respond, Rita said jealously, ¡°I¡¯m gonna go. You guys take your time.¡±


    Then she turned around and left. Calvin hurriedly followed her.


    They were heading to the director¡¯s office. Calvin suddenly felt something warm in his palm. He opened


    his hand and noticed that the white light on The Yin-Yang Compass was growing stronger.


    ¡°This is...¡±


    Calvin was excited. He could get more power once he saved a life.


    This was great. He could use white light to save people and could also get more white light for that.


    This created a virtuous circle.


    Judging from that, he should really work in a hospital.


    Rita got even angrier. In the past, once she got upset, Calvin would try everything to make her happier.


    Even though she didn¡¯t care about that, she couldn¡¯t take the fact that hepletely didn¡¯t care about


    her feelings now.


    She stopped and saw Calvin smiling.


    He must be savoring the moment he hugged Selena.


    It was shameless of him. They hadn¡¯t got a divorce yet.


    Calvin nearly bumped into Rita. He stopped and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Rita really wanted to question him whether he cheated on her or not.


    But she just couldn¡¯t throw away her pride.


    ¡°Nothing. Before we meet Dr. Peters, you need to know that St. Louis Hospital reduced the staff and


    nned to outsource its business. Today we need to get this deal done and you¡¯d better put your


    attention on this because a lot of clinics have their eyes on this deal.¡±


    Calvin nodded, ¡°Rest assured, I¡¯ll definitely help you do that.¡±


    But Rita took this the wrong way. Rita snorted, ¡°I know, of course you will. Because you want us to get


    divorced as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Well...¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll get what you want.¡±


    Rita ran off in a huff and Calvin had to follow her.


    They went into the administration building and got on an elevator. When the door opened, Calvin and


    Rita were both startled.


    The hall was crowded with people. Rita recognized that those were the directors of different clinics.


    Calvin whispered, ¡°Are they all here for the bidding?¡±


    ¡°What? You¡¯re worried now? Afraid that you won¡¯t be able to get a divorce?¡±


    Calvin exined, ¡°Of course not. After all, this is the first time for me to run errands for the Houston


    family. If I mess this up, your mother is going to be mad at me. I don¡¯t wanna be regarded as a gold-


    digger.¡±


    Rita looked at him coldly, ¡°So it¡¯s ¡®your mother¡¯ now? Hypocrite.¡±


    Calvin was speechless. No matter what he said, she could always find fault with him. He should better


    shut up.


    Rita was even angrier when Calvin didn¡¯t say anything. He used to be so patient with her and she


    guessed that he would only be patient with Selena now.


    As the atmosphere kept getting more and more awkward, a short fat man in his thirties came up.


    ¡°Sexy, you¡¯re here for the bidding too?¡±


    Rita was still annoyed. She turned away and ignored that fat man.


    The fat guy was a little irritated, ¡°Sexy, no need to turn me down like that. How about making friends


    with me? I¡¯m gonna introduce myself. My name is Tommy Marks and a friend of mine happens to be in


    charge of this bidding...¡±


    What he meant was pretty clear. He wanted her to butter him up.


    But he was wrong about her. Rita didn¡¯t care about the bidding at all right now.


    She just snorted and walked to the elevator. Calvin asked from behind, ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m hungry. I wanna get something to eat.¡±


    Calvin checked what time it was and it was about time for lunch. So he followed her to the elevator.


    ¡°Who said you can tag along? I didn¡¯t say I want to have lunch with you.¡±


    Calvin smiled embarrassedly, ¡°I don¡¯t have any money on me.¡±


    ¡°Well, then it¡¯s perfect. Miss Bentley is still here. She would love to let you join her for lunch.¡±


    Calvin chuckled, ¡°Even if she invites me, I won¡¯t go. I¡¯ve got a wife.¡±


    ¡°You still remember that?¡±


    Even though her tone was still cold, she didn¡¯t chase him away.

 Chapter 17 I鈥檓 Into Your Wife

    Chapter 17 I¡¯m Into Your Wife


    The restaurant near the hospital was overpriced by always crowded.


    The two of them finally found a seat and sat down. Then Rita kept staring at Calvin.


    Calvin was a little ufortable, ¡°What? Is there something on my face?¡±


    ¡°I suddenly found you quite strange. I wanna take a closer look and see if you¡¯re still the same old


    Calvin.¡±


    Calvin smiled, ¡°You¡¯re exaggerating.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m exaggerating? Ever since you married into the Houston family, you¡¯re always hanging around the


    kitchen. Since when did you study medicine?¡±


    Before Calvin answered, Rita stopped him, ¡°Stop saying that you¡¯ve read some books. I know what


    books we have. None of them mentioned the Soul Hook.¡±


    Calvin was thinking fast. Rita was clearly suspicious about him and he had to find a way to muddle


    through.


    ¡°Actually, I signed up for some online sses and I learned everything from there.¡±


    ¡°Online? You really should think twice before you lie.¡±


    Calvin said hastily, ¡°I¡¯m serious. Look.¡±


    He pulled out his phone and found the website that he came across two days ago. There were all kinds


    of expensive online sses.


    Rita tried hard to see the screen, which waspletely shattered.


    ¡°I told you to change your phone and you wouldn¡¯t listen. So you don¡¯t take my words seriously now?¡±


    Calvin was feeling guilty, ¡°Of course I do. But my mom...¡±


    Rita red at him. He always used his mother as an excuse.


    She threw the phone back to him and grabbed another one from her purse, ¡°It¡¯s my backup phone. You


    take it.¡±


    Calvin looked at it and found that it was the newest iPhone. And it was brand new.


    ¡°This is a backup phone?¡±


    Rita raised her eyebrows, ¡°What? You don¡¯t want it? Then give it back to me.¡±


    ¡°I want it but it¡¯s a little too expensive.¡±


    Calvin was touched. Rita was a kind woman even though she never revealed her feelings. Think about


    it, she really did a lot for him.


    She gave him more than ten dors so he could afford his mother¡¯s treatments. If it weren¡¯t for her,


    Shirley would have died a long time ago.


    ¡°The treatment you gave to that man might be able to be exined. You¡¯re lucky that you cured him. Or


    else do you know what kind of trouble you¡¯ll make?¡±


    Calvin was ying with his new phone and he said casually, ¡°No, Miss Bentley is really nice. She is


    pretty and kind. If she was cold-blooded, she would definitely leave that man there to die.¡±


    He didn¡¯t notice the atmosphere had changed.


    ¡°In your view she¡¯s so great?¡±


    Calvin finally realized he made a mistake.


    ¡°In my view? Why would I think that? I was just trying be a hero. But you are the only woman that I care


    for.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t buy that.¡±


    Rita sipped some tea and used the teacup to hide her smile.


    ¡°Alright. Just eat. After the meal, go back to the Houston¡¯s Clinic with me.¡±


    Calvin was surprised, ¡°The Houston Clinic? We¡¯re not bidding anymore?¡±


    Rita shook her head, ¡°You saw how fierce thepetition is. I thought it would be a great deal but now


    it seemed unworthy. Let¡¯s just give it up.¡±


    ¡°But I don¡¯t want to give it up!¡±


    ¡°What are you saying?¡±


    Rita¡¯s voice sounded grim and she leaned over.


    She was wearing some makeup today and looked quite lovely.


    She wore a pink suit and a white blouse. Her heaving bosoms was revealed by the V neck which made


    her neck look elegant and slender.


    From Calvin¡¯s angle, he could saw her breasts.


    He unconsciously felt quite thirsty and he still couldn¡¯t hold back his feelings after all these years.


    ¡°Rita, this is the first job your family has ever given me. I want to do it well.¡±¡¯


    ¡°It depends,¡± Rita said, ¡°You''ve seen how many people were there. You think you stand a chance, huh?


    I saw five clinics there alone. How can you convince Dr. Peters?¡±


    ¡°But if I just give up, mother will...¡±


    ¡°Don''t worry about that. I¡¯ll tell her the truth and she won''t be unreasonable.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t believe that. Nobody knew better about being unreasonable than Carrie.


    Then the phone rang.


    Rita changed her tone and said to the speaker, ¡°Hi, yes, this is Rita. What? The bidding in the


    afternoon got canceled? Why? Oh, that¡¯s why...Okay...¡±


    She hung up the phone and looked at Calvin, ¡°You can give up for good now. They had a winner.¡±


    ¡°I thought this was a bidding. Why did they just pick someone?¡±


    ¡°Do you even know who it is? It¡¯s Chelston Healthcare. How are we gonnapete with that?¡±


    Calvin knew about Chelston Healthcare. It was a big enterprise in Chelston. He didn''t expect them to


    be involved in the bid.


    Even a big enterprise like them would strive for such little profit.


    ¡°Chelston Healthcare has not invested in any Clinic and I''m sure they will look for a partner in the


    future. We still have a chance.¡±


    Rita didn''t expect Calvin to be so stubborn. She was sure Calvin wasn¡¯t worrying that her mother would


    scold him, but was concerned that he might not be able to get divorced.


    ¡°You can do whatever you want. You''ve got help now. Of course you don''t want to have anything to do


    with the Houston family now...¡±


    Calvin knew she misunderstood. Just as he was trying to exin, a man came up and chipped in.


    ¡°I beg your pardon. I cannot stand this anymore. What an honor it is to have lunch with such a beautiful


    Calvin looked up. It was Tommy Marks from the hospital. He was surprisingly annoying.


    He was wearing expensive designer¡¯s suits, but even that didn''t cover up his bulkiness.


    He was also wearing a belt with a huge logo on it, which was purely cheesy and corny.


    ¡°Do I even know you? Stop acting like we know each other!¡± Rita was not in a good mood.


    ¡°Sexy, fate brought us together. I just overheard everything. He doesn¡¯t know how to cherish you. But


    someone else can. Why don¡¯t you join us and enjoy this fine lobster that I just ordered...¡±


    Calvin was having a set meal and Tommy thought he certainly was broke.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna say this one more time. I don¡¯t know you so please leave us alone.¡±


    The guy who was with Tommy was irritated and said, ¡°Why are you acting so cocky? You¡¯re nothing but


    a pretty face. Mr. Marks has all kinds of side chicks. Don¡¯t act like you¡¯re so innocent. What can that


    slum dog possibly give you? You came here to order some set meals? Stop ying romance when


    you¡¯re broke.¡±


    Calvin sped up his pace and ate even faster. He didn¡¯t want to waste his time on some random guys.


    Seeing that, Rita was disappointed. What kind of man he was?


    Someone harassed his wife and he still took his time eating?


    Rita was about to lose her temper. She even wanted to join them just to see if he could tolerate that.


    But she couldn¡¯t do such things. She just red at Tommy and said, ¡°If you keep harassing me, I will


    call the police.¡±


    Tommy sneered, ¡°I¡¯m just trying to buy you a drink. Will the police care about things like that? Then all


    the police forces would just keep watching the night clubs and do nothing else. Sweetheart, why are


    you giving me a hard time? Why can we just be friends?¡±


    Then he contemptuously looked at Calvin, who was still eating.


    He had been standing there for a few minutes and Calvin didn¡¯t say anything.


    This made Tommy got even bolder.


    ¡°Hey, you. Is the set meal yummy?¡±


    Calvin nodded, ¡°It¡¯s good.¡±


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Hahaha, some five-dor set mean feels like a feast to you, huh? I¡¯m kind of impressed. Since you like


    this so much, I¡¯ll offer you a chance to eat whatever you want.¡±


    Tommy pulled out a credit card and said, ¡°Here is ten grand. Now you can afford these kind of set


    meals for years. I¡¯m into your wife. Take the money and piss off.¡±


    Tommy¡¯s friend pped and burst outughing, ¡°Sweetheart, now you see how rich Mr. Marks is. Ten


    grand is nothing to him. If you be his girlfriend, you¡¯ll have all the money you need for the rest of


    your life.¡±


    Calvin wiped his mouth and looked at the card on the table.


    ¡°Just ten grand? My wife is so pretty. She¡¯s worth much more than that. You think I don¡¯t have that kind


    of money? You think she¡¯s only worth ten grand?¡±


    Hearing that, Tommy taunted, ¡°Wow, I don¡¯t know a broke dude like you would know how to brag. Then


    do you have this?¡±


    He tossed his car key onto the table. It was an Aventador, Calvin¡¯s favorite.


    ¡°You are nothingpared with me!¡±

 Chapter 18 Brutal Methods

    Chapter 18 Brutal Methods


    Instead of getting angry, Calvin began to bargain. Rita angrily stood up and was about to leave.


    Tommy held her shoulder and pushed her back into the seat.


    ¡°Sweetheart, why the hurry? We¡¯ll make a deal pretty soon.¡±


    He took a closer look at Rita¡¯s wless face. He was already turned on by her tempting smell.


    ¡°Name your price, dude. I¡¯ll give you the money.¡±


    Calvin stood up slowly with knife and fork in his hand. He said emotionlessly, ¡°I don''t want any money,


    just leave your fingers here.¡±


    Tommy red at him, scowling, ¡°What did you say?¡±


    The other man raised his fist and yelled, ¡°Do you know have any idea who the fuck you''re talking to?¡±


    The man looked quite tall and strong. He threw his fist at Calvin¡¯s head.


    Bang! Tommy''s sneer turned to surprise.


    Calvin blocked his friend¡¯s fist with his hand.


    ¡°Shit, you¡¯ve got some moves. Let go of me...¡± The man was irritated. He was just thinking about


    iming credit in front of Tommy.


    Calvin twisted the man¡¯s arm and forced him to get down on his knees. Just as the man was about to


    curse, Calvin covered his mouth and bent his arm backwards.


    ¡°Honey, close your eyes.¡±


    Then she heard the cracking voice of the man¡¯s bones.


    Even though she wasn¡¯t looking, she could still picture the bloody scene of how his bones stuck out of


    his flesh.


    The man¡¯s mouth was covered by Calvin and he could only make some muffled sounds. The severe


    pain he was experiencing made him cry out.


    Calvin let go of him and the man fell onto the ground, rolling over painfully.


    With no mercy shown on his face, Calvin turned to Tommy, who was shivering and backing away.


    ¡°I¡¯m warning you, don''t mess me.¡±


    Rita had no idea how ruthless Calvin had be. It seemed that he was not aplete pushover.


    ¡°Calvin, that¡¯s it, let''s go. Don¡¯t get yourself into trouble.¡±


    ¡°He touched your shoulder.¡±


    ¡°He just simply touched it. It¡¯s harmless.¡±


    Calvin shook his head, ¡°Even I had never touched it. But he did.¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Rita was standing next to Calvin. She was stunned when she heard the coldness in his voice.


    Tommy retreated to the back corner of the table behind him. He had nowhere to hide anymore. He


    grabbed a bottle and hurled it at Calvin.


    Calvin easily dodged the bottle and kicked him on his stomach. Then, Tommy clutched his belly and fell


    to the ground vomiting.


    ¡°If you fucking touch me one more time, I''ll kill you.¡±


    Tommy¡¯s eyes widened and his fat hand was trampled under Calvin¡¯s foot.


    ¡°No, no!¡±


    Calvin called out quietly, ¡°One...¡±


    ¡°Ah..


    .¡± All the customers looked this way with fear in their eyes.


    ¡°Who is that young man? He¡¯s pretty brutal.¡±


    ¡°I think he''s a real man. That''s what you do when your wife is being harassed.¡±


    ¡°If I were his wife, I would be very happy that he did that for me. No man would protect his wife like this


    these days.¡±


    Many people thought Calvin was right, but they were all shocked and terrified at the way he crushed


    Tommy Marks'' pinkie.


    ¡°Two...¡± Calvin was like a hard-hearted devil. No matter how Tommy cried for help, he didn¡¯t seem to


    stop.


    ¡°I beg you. I was I wrong. I¡¯ll never do that again. Please show some mercy!¡±


    ¡°Three...¡±


    ¡°Please, sir, kind sir, I¡¯llpensate you with money! Name your price and I give you whatever you


    want!¡±


    ¡°Four...¡±


    ¡°Shit! I am the general manager of Bentley Group. Just kill me or I¡¯ll make you suffer for the rest of your


    life!¡±


    Tommy imed who he was and everyone was shocked.


    ¡°Bentley Group? No wonder why he was being so presumptuous.¡±


    ¡°This young man is going down. That guy is the general manager of Bentley Group. Of all the


    resources he has, he could easily make him pay.¡±


    ¡°Run away now, young man,¡± someone said, ¡°You can¡¯t afford to mess with me. You should leave


    Chelston as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Now you know what I¡¯m capable of? It''s toote! Even if you let me sleep with your wife, you''re a dead


    man now.¡±


    Calvin looked at Tommy¡¯s fat face and said, ¡°So you are from the Bentley Group.¡±


    ¡°That''s right, I''m one of the founders of Bentley Group. If Selena doesn¡¯t dare to mess with me. How


    dare you break my hand! I''ll make you pay for this!¡±


    Calvin shrugged, ¡°But what¡¯s done is done. There¡¯s no using begging you for mercy now. So...¡±


    Tommy was astonished, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to proceed, obviously.¡±


    Calvin stepped even harder. After a horrifying cracking noise, Tommy¡¯s five fingers on his right hand


    were crushed like meat paste.


    ¡°He must be crazy! How dare he do that after that fat guy told him who he is!¡±


    ¡°Well, he and the woman are done. But she''s so pretty...It¡¯s such a shame. He shouldn¡¯t be so


    impulsive.¡±


    Rita was shocked. When did Calvin be like this?


    ¡°Calvin...¡±


    Calvin turned to her and smiled, ¡°Did I scare you?¡±


    Rita was terrified. But when she saw his warm smile, she suddenly didn¡¯t feel afraid anymore.


    ¡°What to do now?¡± Rita didn¡¯tin at all.


    Instead, she was kind of d. The way he threw a temper was a bit charming.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. We actually did Selena a favor.¡±


    Tommy stopped wining and looked up at him puzzledly, ¡°You know Selena?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the woman who doesn¡¯t dare to mess with you. We¡¯re talking about the same person, right?¡±


    ¡°How is this...¡±


    Calvin took out Selena¡¯s business card. When Tommy saw the Family crest of the Bentley family on


    that golden business card, he curled up on the ground.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, you¡¯re still in the hospital? Great. There¡¯s someone I¡¯d like you to meet...¡±


    Five minutester, Selena came into the restaurant. She knew what had happened when she saw


    Tommy lying on the ground.


    ¡°Tommy Marks, don¡¯t tell me that you just offended Mr. Whitney.¡±


    The crowd were all shocked. After knowing that the general manager of herpany was beaten up,


    the first thing Selena did was to me him for his mistake.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, I...¡±


    Seeing the look on Tommy¡¯s face, Selena knew she wouldn¡¯t get any useful information from him. So


    she asked Calvin, ¡°Mr. Whitney, what happened?¡±


    ¡°Well, long story short, he likes my wife and touched her without permission, which is why I broke his


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    hands. Then I knew that he is your staff. So I think I need to inform you...¡±


    Selena slowly turned around and looked at Tommy grimly.


    ¡°Is that true?¡±


    Regardless of the pain, Tommy got on his knees and kept begging for mercy.


    ¡°Mr. Whitney, I¡¯m sorry, please forgive me.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t respond at all. So he turned to Rita, ¡°Sweet...Mrs. Whitney, I don¡¯t know what I was


    thinking. I¡¯m so sorry that I offended you. I was wrong. Please ask Mr. Whitney to forgive me.¡±


    Rita was grossed out by his behavior. A few minutes ago, he was so arrogant and fearless. But now he


    made himself look humble and wouldn¡¯t stop kissing ass.


    Compared to a man like this, Calvin was way much better.


    Selena looked quite gloomy. As a woman, she knew what it would feel like if she was also sexually


    harassed.


    ¡°Calvin, he¡¯s all yours. You can do whatever you want.¡±


    Tommy was desperate after hearing that. He curled up on the ground and pretended he was dead.

 Chapter 19 Paul Bradford

    Chapter 19 Paul Bradford


    The people in the restaurant were all in fear. They were guessing who Calvin really was.


    Even Selena Bentley respected him so much. He must be a big shot.


    Calvin didn¡¯t feel good when he saw Tommy trembling on the ground because he knew Tommy was


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    scared of Selena, not him.


    When Calvin became powerful like Selena, maybe Rita would finally fall in love with him.


    But could he?


    In the past, he stood no chance. But now it was possible.


    He was the heir to the Master Mndra, He could do anything he wanted to do.


    Calvin turned to Tommy and said, ¡°I hurt you. Do you think this is reasonable?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it is.¡±


    Calvin continued, ¡°I said before that I want ten of your fingers. There¡¯s still one finger left. What do you


    think I should do?¡±


    Tommy was petrified. He didn¡¯t expect Calvin to be so cruel.


    Well, he had only one finger left. It was useless for him now.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to do that. I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±


    Tommy grabbed a knife and cut off that finger.


    Blood gushed out and Tommy Marks passed out.


    Calvin didn¡¯t seem to feel a thing. But when he turned to Selena, he was already smiling gently.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, thank you for getting us out of this trouble.¡±


    Selena rolled her eyes in her mind. He didn¡¯t need her to get out of trouble.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, I want to ask something. Do you know anything about Chelston Healthcare?¡±


    Selena nodded, ¡°Kind of. We¡¯ve cooperated before.¡±


    Calvin looked at Rita and was hyped up, ¡°Great! Can you tell me the address?¡±


    Selena was confused, ¡°Why do you wanna know that?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a project I want to talk about with them.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I also have a meeting in Chelston Healthcare. I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡±


    ¡°Cool.¡±


    ...


    Rita actually didn¡¯t want to mess around with Calvin. But when she thought of the way Selena held him


    in the morning, she felt jealous and got in the car with them.


    On the way, Selena told him a lot of information about Chelston Healthcare and what kind of person Mr.


    Bradford was.


    To sum up, he loved money and women.


    When they arrived, Selena headed for the meeting and Calvin and Rita came to the reception desk.


    ¡°Hi, I¡¯d like to meet the director of the Business Department, Mr. Bradford.¡±


    The receptionist didn¡¯t even bother to look up. She asked impatiently, ¡°Do you have an appointment?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°No? Then you can¡¯t meet him.¡±


    ¡°Well, how can I see him?¡±


    The receptionist lost her patience, ¡°Why are you being stubborn like a dog? I said you can¡¯t meet him.


    Go back to where you came from.


    ¡±


    Just as Rita was about to talk back to her, someone suddenly said from behind, ¡°You¡¯re looking for


    me?¡±


    Calvin turned around and it was a bald man in his forties.


    ¡°Are you Mr. Bradford?¡± Rita asked gently.


    Rita got his attention and then he was stunned by her beauty.


    What a masterpiece...


    As one of the famous enterprises in Chelston, Chelston Healthcare offered liberal wages and benefits.


    Paul was one of thepany executives. A lot of women would throw themselves at him just to get


    into Chelston Healthcare.


    But none of them were as beautiful as Rita.


    She wore little makeup but her pretty face was still stunning. Her dark long hair looked great on her.


    What attracted Paul the most was her perfect hourss-shaped body.


    Even though they were a few meters away, Paul Bradford could still smell the intriguing scent on Rita.


    This scent was luring. He couldn¡¯t sense it when he tried to but he could feel it when he breathed.


    Rita looked like she just turned twenty but she gave him a vibe that only women in theirte twenties


    possessed.


    In a word, she was innocent, elegant, yet slutty.


    Calvin gave a cough. Selena was right, Paul was a creepy old bastard.


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, we are the representatives of The Houston''s Clinic. We came here so we could discuss


    about the outsourcing project of St. Louis Hospital...¡±


    Paul was annoyed when Calvin interrupted him.


    ¡°We¡¯ve just got that project and we will find a suitable clinic for further cooperation. But now I¡¯m kind of


    busy. I don¡¯t have time for this.¡±


    Paul shifted his eyes on Rita again. Calvin knew he was lying. He just didn¡¯t want to talk to him.


    He quietly stood in front of Rita and smiled, ¡°Mr. Bradford, could you let me show you some information


    about The Houston''s Clinic for reference?¡±


    Paul couldn¡¯t see Rita and his sight was blocked by Calvin when he tried to tilt his head.


    ¡°I said I¡¯m busy. Just put the files on the front desk and wait for my call. Miss, I don¡¯t know your name


    yet...¡±


    ¡°Rita Houston.¡±


    ¡°Your name is beautiful, just like you. Miss Houston, you¡¯re the director of The Houston''s Clinic, right?


    Why don¡¯t you leave me your contact information and I¡¯ll carefully consider your clinic?¡±


    Rita had no choice but to give him her business card.


    When she passed it to her, that bastard deliberately touched her hand.


    Seeing him creepy and disgusting like that, Calvin really wanted to p him in his face.


    Paul was indeed busy so Calvin had to find another chance to talk.


    When they returned home, Rita told Carrie that Chelston Healthcare had got the outsourcing project of


    St.


    Louis Hospital. Carrie felt quite disappointed.


    ¡°Since Chelston Healthcare had won, we have no chance in the bidding. If we get involved in this


    project, our clinic would benefit a lot.¡±


    Calvin suddenly chipped in, ¡°Mom, rest assured, I¡¯ll get us into this project.¡±


    Carrie was about to give up. Now that Calvin made a promise to them, Carrie was even more annoyed.


    Carrie rolled her eyes, ¡°What can you possibly do about this project? If you can really do that, we don¡¯t


    have to be in this position in the Houston family. Stop exaggerating, loser.¡±


    ¡°Why are you still here? Make us dinner now! You want to starve me?¡±


    Calvin silently went to the kitchen.


    Rita felt sorry for him. Calvin hadn¡¯t had a rest since they went out this morning.


    And Carrie just came home from the mall.


    ¡°Mom, Calvin told me that this is the first job you handed to him. He doesn¡¯t want to give up so easily.¡±


    But Carrie didn¡¯t care at all, ¡°You think I want to give that job to him? He was the one who went crazy


    and wanted to divorce you. I was just teaching him a lesson that he is nothing without the Houston


    family. Too bad that we just wasted such a good opportunity. It¡¯s all his fault. What a loser!¡±


    Carrie was still calling him a loser. Rita got mad and raised her volume.


    ¡°Mom, why can¡¯t you just trust him for once? You call him a loser yet you never give him an opportunity


    to prove himself. You¡¯re being unreasonable.¡±


    Carrie was irritated by her own daughter, ¡°You called me unreasonable? Are you taking his side? I am


    the person who raised you! Fine, he can go if he wants too. I won¡¯t stop him.¡±


    ¡°You said I never give him any opportunities? This project concerns hundreds of thousands of dors.


    I¡¯ll hand this to him. This is a big opportunity for him, right? Otherwise, I would just ask Vincent for help.


    He knew Dr. Peters well. If it were him, he would¡¯ve seeded a long time ago. Never mind, I¡¯ll ask


    mother for help. If I ask Vincent, your aunt would definitely make fun of me. We all have a son-inw.


    Why is ours such a loser?¡±


    Rita couldn¡¯t stand listening to her. She returned to her room. On the way, she peeked at Calvin in the


    kitchen.


    He must be pretty upset right now. But she couldn¡¯t tell.


    Anyone else would be furious if they were in the same position. Of course Calvin would be upset.


    But he just sucked it up, even though he had proved that he wasn¡¯t a loser.


    What kept him tolerating the injustice he was face with?


    Rita suddenly felt sad for him.


    What happened to her? She was the one who always wanted a divorce.


    Was it because Calvin brought it up first? Was she too proud to ept that? Or...was she unwilling to


    divorce him in the first ce?

 Chapter 20 Bad Intentions

    Chapter 20 Bad Intentions


    In the morning, Calvin got up and found that Rita had left the house.


    Seemed like she had given up.


    Calvin grabbed two pieces of cold bread from the kitchen and ate them all. When he was about to go


    out, Carrie yelled as she was walking downstairs.


    ¡°Where do think you¡¯re going? Have you cleaned up the kitchen?¡±


    Calvin paused, ¡°Mother, I told you I need to work on that project.¡±


    ¡°The Houston family would be broke if we count on you. When you¡¯re still sleeping, Vincent had already


    picked up Rita and gone to Chelston Healthcare.¡±


    ¡°What? He¡¯s there?¡±


    Carrie raised her eyebrows, ¡°You¡¯ve got a problem with that? Vincent¡¯spany had previous dealings


    with Chelston Healthcare. He knew Paul Bradford before. I really should¡¯ve picked Vincent as my son-


    inw...¡±


    Calvin clutched his fists. Everyone could see what Vincent was up to.


    Thinking about the way Vincent looked at Rita, Calvin couldn¡¯t just stand here and let him do whatever


    he wanted.


    ¡°Mother, I need to buy some groceries. What do you want to have for lunch...¡±


    Before Carrie could answer, Calvin had run out of the door.


    By the time he arrived at Chelston Healthcare, it was about 9:30 a.m.


    Maybe it was because he met with Paul here before, the receptionist didn¡¯t stop him.


    The office door was half-opened and he could hear Vincent¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, we¡¯re close like brothers. Do me a favor this time. You can ask around how great The


    Houston''s Clinic is.¡±


    Paul said, ¡°Vincent, since we¡¯re bros, I¡¯ll cut to the chase. See, these are all the files every clinic sent


    us. To be honest, they are all better than your clinic. You¡¯re putting me in a very awkward position.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, they are a little better than us. But we¡¯re not bad either. We¡¯re closer than that, right?¡±


    Paul sipped his tea and spat out some tea leaves.


    ¡°Vincent, if it weren¡¯t for you, you couldn¡¯t even make it to my office. Do you believe that?¡±


    Rita said, ¡°Mr. Bradford, just give us a chance and we won¡¯t let you down.¡±


    Paul chuckled, ¡°Miss Houston, you seem to be prettier than yesterday. What¡¯s your daily routine? You


    skin looks so soft and...¡±


    ¡°You...¡±


    Rita was irritated. Vincent hurriedly said, ¡°Paul, I need to go to the man¡¯s room. Please wait for a sec.¡±


    ¡°The man¡¯s room is on the left.¡±


    Calvin hastily hid in the tea room and then Vincent dragged Rita out of the office.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Rita, don¡¯t get mad. He¡¯s always like that.


    Just tolerate for a while. He¡¯s got the power so we had to deal with it.¡±


    Rita was still angry, ¡°I knew we don¡¯t have a big chance at this from the beginning. Let it go. I don¡¯t


    wanna talk to him anymore.¡±


    ¡°Rita, you don''t know the truth, do you? Last night, auntie and Mrs. Houston all cried to me. The


    Houston''s Clinic is not doing well and there are two newpetitors in town. She¡¯s under a lot of


    pressure. We should try our best to help them. What do you say? Rest assured, he is only trying to


    take some advantages. If you¡¯re not okay with this, just go and have a cup of coffee. I¡¯ll take this from


    here.¡±


    Seeing that Vincent was being quite sincere, she nodded, ¡°Ok, well, thank you so much.¡±


    Vincent¡¯s body trembled with excitement, ¡°Rita, as long as you appreciate me, there¡¯s nothing I wouldn¡¯t


    do for you. I...¡±


    Noticing Vincent was leaning forward, Rita took a step back and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to get you a cup of


    coffee.¡±


    ¡°Okay, fine.¡±


    Calvin walked out of the tea room grimly.


    How could she survive when there were two creepy bastards trying to take advantage of her?


    He grabbed a bottle of water and wanted tofort Rita. Suddenly, Paul started to speak in the office.


    ¡°Vincent, who are you to act like a friend in front of me?¡±


    Vincent was shocked, ¡°Mr. Bradford, what did I do to you? Did I say anything wrong?¡±


    ¡°If that girl wasn¡¯t here and I had to be nice, I would p you in the face. You don¡¯t think I know what is


    on your mind? You wanna sleep with her too, right? If I gave you the contract, she¡¯ll throw herself at


    you.¡±


    Vincent was getting yelled at and still had to smile, ¡°Mr. Bradford, how could Ipete with you? She¡¯s


    my sister-inw. Why would I wanna sleep with her?¡±


    Hearing that, Paul started to calm down, ¡°Fine. I¡¯m busy. Get out of my office. You really think I¡¯ll give


    you the contract that easily? You¡¯re hopelessly naive.¡±


    Vincent knew what he was implying.


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, there are only the two of us in the room. Could you just tell me what you need?¡±


    ¡°One hundred thousand dors, and Miss Houston.¡±


    ¡°Of course we can offer you one hundred thousand, but Rita...¡±


    Through the door, Calvin could see the look on Paul¡¯s face, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that hard...¡±


    He pulled out a bottle of water as he spoke.


    ¡°Miss Houston must be quite thirsty. You let her drink this water and just leave the rest to me. Think


    about it, it¡¯s a great deal for you. Once I¡¯m finished, you can take the contract. The Houston family


    would definitely thank you for that. Then you don¡¯t need to invest anything but can get all the


    advantages...¡±


    ¡°Mr.


    Bradford, I can¡¯t.¡±


    Thinking of his dream girl being raped by Paul, Vincent felt quite ufortable.


    ¡°Shit, then get out of my office! I don¡¯t time for this crap.¡±


    Vincent slowly stood up, which made Calvin think of him differently. He thought Vincent wasn¡¯t that bad.


    Vincent looked at Paul and hesitated. Then he wrote a check and said, ¡°Mr. Bradford, this is one


    hundred thousand dors.¡±


    ¡°You think I¡¯ll be impressed by merely one hundred thousand? It¡¯s not even enough for two rounds


    when I gamble. Piss off.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, don¡¯t get mad. Wait before I finish. I mean, can you also let me...¡±


    Paul was stunned for a while. Soon, he started sneering, ¡°You bastard. You just said you don¡¯t like her


    that way. Keep faking it.¡±


    ¡°Not anymore. There¡¯s no need to hind in front of you, right? I¡¯ve actually wanted sleep with her for a


    long time. Every time I see her, I just wanna hold her down and...¡±


    ¡°Okay, just do what I say. Nick, tell the receptionist that I won¡¯t be seeing anyone today.¡±


    Calvin hid in the tea room and watched Vincent leave excitedly.


    In the office, Paul took a mirror from his drawer and brushed his bald head.


    His secretary Nick asked, ¡°Mr. Bradford, why did you say yes to Vincent? You just took two hundred


    thousand from Mr. Jones.¡±


    ¡°So what? They brought the money to me. Was I supposed to turn that down?¡±


    ¡°But what about Mr. Jones?¡±


    Paul rolled his eyes and stared at him, ¡°You¡¯ve worked for me for a long time. Why you never learn? Of


    course we can¡¯t mess with Mr. Jones. But this dumbass gave me one hundred thousand for nothing. If I


    don¡¯t take it, I¡¯m stupid as he is. You, get a copy of contract and use the fake stamp...¡±


    Nick sighed, ¡°Mr. Bradford, this is brilliant! Should I put the camera I just bought in here? We can film


    what you do to that girl so you can save it and watch it whenever you want. Once theye to you and


    ask for an exnation, just show the film to them. Then they won¡¯t dare to say anything about this.¡±


    Paul struck the table and said, ¡°Kid, you learn pretty fast. You¡¯ll gonna have a bright future. Okay, we¡¯ll


    do what you said.¡±


    The two of them burst outughing and didn¡¯t know someone was watching them with


    hatred.

 Chapter 21 It鈥檚 Karma

    Chapter 21 It¡¯s Karma


    Rita was holding her coffee and was about to walk into the elevator. Then Vincent came out.


    ¡°Why are you here? He didn¡¯t agree?¡±


    Vincent was gasping and he looked at her with yearning in his eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s not what you think. After you left the room, I talked him into reconsidering the cooperation and told


    him all about our clinic. He¡¯s finally impressed. Now youe up there with me and we can sign the


    contract.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Rita found it unbelievable. Back when she was still in his office, Paul didn¡¯t seem to be like


    that.


    ¡°Oh, are you thirsty? Drink some water, here you are.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m good. I just got myself a cup of coffee. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Vincent squeezed on that bottle of water and then took that cup of coffee from Rita, ¡°You bought this for


    me, right? You can have this water.¡±


    As the elevator climbing up, the air seemed to get thinner.


    Rita held the bottle and wanted to unscrew the cap.


    Vincent gazed at her with his mouth open. His heart was pounding loud.


    Open it and drink! Now!


    Just as Rita was about to open the bottle, the door opened and something flew in and hit her on her


    wrist.


    ¡°Ahhh...¡± Rita screamed and the bottle of water was dropped onto the floor.


    ¡°Calvin? What the hell? Why did you throw that at me?¡±


    Vincent didn¡¯t expect to see Calvin standing in front of Paul¡¯s office. He felt kind of guilty and was afraid


    to get caught.


    ¡°Calvin, when...when did youe here?¡±


    Calvin ignored him and stared at Rita, ¡°Why couldn¡¯t I throw it at you? Why did youe here with him


    and didn¡¯t even think about informing me?¡±


    Rita enfolded her wrist painfully. Her eyes shed with anger.


    In the past few years, Calvin hadn¡¯t even said anything harsh to her, let alone use violence against her.


    And now he dared to hit her with a water bottle.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t Ie here with him? He can help me, can you? Do you know Mr. Bradford? Do you have


    any idea how many people came here to seek cooperation?¡±


    ¡°Who are you to throw a tantrum at me? If you are really capable, would I need to tolerate his


    harassment? How dare you be mad at me?¡±


    ¡°Why are you for now? Vincent has already made the deal.¡±


    Calvin paused, ¡°Already? Seems impossible. Vincent, how did you convince Mr. Bradford? Did you


    promise to do something for him?¡±


    Vincent was rattled. Did Calvin overhear everything?


    No, he was just bluffing. Don¡¯t panic.


    ¡°Why do you look so guilty?¡±


    Vincent felt quite uneasy when Calvin was just staring at him. He picked up a bottle and drank a


    mouthful of water.


    By the time he swallowed it, he found out there was another bottle on the floor, which was exactly the


    same as the one he was holding.


    Crap. Did he just drink the wrong one...


    No way.


    Seeing that Vincent had drunk that water, Calvin gave a subtle smile.


    Rita got furious when she saw him smile like that, ¡°Calvin, good for you. Fine, I know you want a


    divorce as soon as possible and you don¡¯t care about me at all. I won¡¯t let you get your way. I¡¯m not


    gonna sigh this contract.¡±


    Then, Rita walked back into the elevator.


    Calvin turned around and looked at Vincent. He was grinning at him, which crept Vincent out.


    ¡°What...what are youughing at?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. Are you feeling thirsty?¡±


    Hearing that, Vincent did feel kind of thirsty.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why am I so hot? Water, I need water.¡±


    Calvin passed him the drugged water and Vincent chugged all of it.


    ¡°Water, I want more.¡±


    Vincent¡¯s whole body turned red and he was sweating so heavily like he was fresh out of water.


    ¡°You want more water? Okay, I¡¯ll take you to a ce where there is a whole lot of water.¡±


    The second Calvin¡¯s hand touched Vincent, he growled like a cat, which scared Calvin away.


    ¡°This drug is intense.¡±


    ¡°Baby, why are you so far away from me? Get closer to me. Let me give you a big kiss.¡±


    Vincent wasing at him and Calvin jumped aside. But Vincent was still running after him.


    Calvin ran to Paul¡¯s office and then turned to Vincent.


    ¡°Stop running...Come on...¡±


    Vincent¡¯s mouth was wide open and he kept drooling. His clothes were already torn apart in a mess.


    Vincent was about to grab Calvin and then Calvin dodged him. Bang! Vincent¡¯s head knocked hard on


    the wooden door and he rolled into Paul¡¯s office.


    Calvin stood at the door and smiled wickedly at Paul, who was sitting in the couch in his underpants,


    getting ready.


    ¡°Vincent, where is she? Why the hell are you here?¡±


    ¡°Vincent, are you fucking crazy? Let go of me!¡±


    ¡°Somebody, help! Get this manic out of here!¡±


    ¡°Ahhh...My ass...¡±


    Calvin shut the door and crossed his heart.


    ¡°Amen, this is brutal...¡±


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    The drug was indeed too strong. Calvin checked the time and Paul had been screaming in the past


    thirty minutes.


    ¡°Wannay a finger on my wife? This is your punishment.¡±


    But Calvin knew that after this chaos, there was no hope for the cooperation.


    When he was about to go home, a group of people came this way.


    ¡°Calvin? Why are you here?¡±


    It was Selena. Calvin came forward, ¡°It was about yesterday¡¯s deal. Mr. Bradford was too busy and we


    couldn¡¯t make it. So Ie here again today.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then take me to him. Maybe I can help.¡±


    Of course Calvin would be d to do that, but now...


    ¡°It might not be a good time for Mr. Bradford.¡±


    The middle-aged man beside Selena turned to a young man, ¡°Nick, is Mr. Bradford having a guest over


    in his office?¡±


    Calvin stared at Nick. He was quite a good-looking man. Who would know he was actually a jackass?


    ¡°Well...Mr. Bradford is...¡±


    ¡°What are you hiding? What is he doing right now?¡±


    Nick couldn¡¯t just tell him that Paul drugged a female customer during business hours and was having


    a good time right now.


    Nick wouldn¡¯t tell them the truth and Selena knew she was onto something.


    ¡°Mr. Small, seems like there¡¯s a lot of problems going on in the management staff of Chelston


    Healthcare.¡±


    Harry Small was embarrassed. He said hastily, ¡°Miss Bentley, rest assured. Even if there are some


    people who don¡¯t follow the rules, we¡¯re just fired them. Please don¡¯t lower down your expectations of


    Chelston Healthcare. You, over there, get Paul out of his office.¡±


    Several people went forward and got in. They all froze when they saw what was happening in there.


    ¡°Why are you still standing there? Where¡¯s Paul?¡±


    ¡°Mr. Small...Take a look for yourself.¡±


    Harry walked down there and Selena wanted to follow him. But Calvin gave her a look and stopped her.


    ¡°Paul Bradford...¡±


    Harry¡¯s roar startled everyone.


    The next thing they knew, Paul showed up. He crawled up to the door.


    ¡°Mr. Small, it¡¯s not what you think it is...¡±


    ¡°Baby, don¡¯t go. I¡¯m not done yet...¡±


    Harry turned his back against him and ground his teeth. Selena hurriedly turned around and then


    red at Calvin.


    ¡°You did that?¡±


    ¡°Miss Bentley, don¡¯t get me wrong. I know absolutely nothing.¡±


    Harry came over apologetically, ¡°Miss Bentley, I¡¯m terribly sorry about that. I shouldn¡¯t let you see such


    a horrible scene. It¡¯s all my fault. How about this? I can take a step back on the acquisition price.¡±


    Selena was a little pleased, ¡°Only one step? Mr. Small, I¡¯m afraid this is gonna hurt you.¡±


    Harry gazed at Paul angrily. Paul just lowered his head and didn¡¯t dare to look him in the eyes.


    ¡°Fine. From now on, Chelston Healthcare is under the control of Miss Bentley. I believe you will make


    thispany soar in the future!¡±


    Calvin rubbed his nose and felt like he helped Selena one more time.

 Chapter 22 Things Started to Get Better

    Chapter 22 Things Started to Get Better


    After a long time, Vincent opened his eyes and found himself lying on the floor of Paul¡¯s office.


    The office was in a mess and he waspletely naked.


    ¡°What the hell happened?¡±


    Just as he was going to get up, he felt his muscles were aching and he nearly couldn¡¯t stand up.


    ¡°Why do I remember none of this? Why am I here?¡±


    Vincent got up and dressed himself. Then he recalled something.


    ¡°I just spent one hundred thousand dors on this. Where is the contract?¡±


    He suddenly remembered that he hadn¡¯t gotten the contract yet.


    Thank God that he found it on Paul¡¯s desk and it was already stamped.


    ¡°Hmm. Calvin, you¡¯re a loser after all. I heard that once we got this contract, you¡¯ll be kicked out of the


    Houston family. Great, Rita will finally know that I¡¯m the best choice for her...¡±


    ...


    In the chairperson¡¯s office, Calvin was sitting in front of Selena.


    ¡°What? Is it weird?¡±


    Selena leaned on a fancy couch and eyed Calvin.


    Calvin nodded, ¡°Now...thispany is yours?¡±


    ¡°Yes. I came here to have a meeting about the acquisition yesterday. What about you? Do you finally


    get the project?¡±


    Calvin smiled, ¡°I was about to give it up. But now I think I have a chance.¡±


    Selena rolled her eyes at him and grinned, ¡°I¡¯m a pretty fair-minded person. Business is business. Just


    because you helped me doesn¡¯t mean I can just help you get this project. I need to see if you are


    qualified.¡±


    Calvin got serious and said, ¡°Miss Bentley, our clinic is very trustworthy.¡±


    ¡°Okay, then show me what you¡¯ve got.¡±


    Calvin had memorized every detail of the clinic. Plus, he knew Selena before so he wasn¡¯t under a lot


    of stress. After a few minutes, the Houston clinic seemed to be the best clinic in the world in his mouth.


    Selena abruptly pped and reached out her hand.


    ¡°Mr. Whitney, I think we''ll have a great time working together.¡±


    Calvin was stunned, ¡°This...this is it?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I know what I should know now. What? You got any other requirements?¡±


    Calvin shook his head, ¡°No. So should we sign the contract now ¡±


    ¡°Of course. Judy.¡±


    A pretty secretary walked in and handed the contract to Calvin.


    It finally dawned on him that Selena was just messing with him. She had prepared the contract a long


    time ago.


    ¡°This...¡± Calvin nced at it and found that the amount on the contract turned out to be five hundred


    thousand dors.


    Rita originally named the price at three hundred thousand and then cut it to two hundred thousand


    because she thought thepetition was too fierce.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, this amount...¡±


    ¡°What? It¡¯s not enough? I can add one hundred thousand at most.¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s enough. It¡¯s far beyond our expectation. I just think it¡¯s strange because you just said that


    business is business...¡±


    Selena giggled, ¡°Yeah, I know. My business philosophy has always been to make progress together


    with partners. You want three hundred thousand then I¡¯ll give you five hundred thousand. Also, you are


    required to live up to this standard. Maybe you''ll make me one million in profit. Right?¡±


    Calvin gave her a thumb-up. She was indeed a great entrepreneur and the queen of the investment


    circle. She had more courage and wisdom than most men.


    ¡°And also this...¡±


    Selena unexpectedly handed him another file. Calvin opened it and found out it was the contract of the


    medical supplies outsourcing.


    ¡°I bought Chelston Healthcare to integrate the whole business ecosystem, but Chelston Healthcare has


    a weak spot in terms of medical supplies. In The future, The Houston Clinic will be our essential


    partner. Every year, you will provide medical supplies worth no less than one million dors for


    Chelston Healthcare¡¯s major hospitals. Would that be okay?¡±


    Calvin waspletely shocked. Even though he had never been involved in the Houston''s Clinic¡¯s


    operation, he knew how lucrative thia contract was.


    Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Medical supplies were the most basic function of a clinic but it was at the same time the most


    profitable.


    Calvin scrolled down the contract. These several paged of paper meant there would be hundreds of


    millions of profits for the Houston family.


    ¡°Miss Bentley, can I ask why you gave this contract to me?¡±


    Actually, after Rita got jealous for a few times, Calvin as well had some thoughts about this. Was


    Selena really into him?


    It was absurd but Calvin kept thinking that way.


    Selena took a step forward and looked at her coyly.


    ¡°Why? You don¡¯t know why?¡±


    Calvin was astonished and backed away.


    Then he fell onto the couch and the contract scattered on the ground.


    Seeing him having made a fool of himself, Selena burst intoughter.


    ¡°Hahaha, you really bought that? Get over yourself, I¡¯m not into married men. To be honest, it¡¯s just a


    thank-you gift. You not only helped me save that old man, you also helped me make a fortune on the


    acquisition of Chelston Healthcare. You don¡¯t think I know that Paul fell into your trap? Mr. Small was


    ashamed and this saved me twenty million dors.¡±


    ¡°What? Twenty million dors...¡±


    Calvin looked at the contract on the floor and suddenly felt one million was nothingpared to this...


    ...


    In the living room of the Houston family, Carrie looked at the contract and her hands were trembling.


    ¡°We really did it. Am I dreaming?¡±


    Lewis knew his wife had been having a tough time for the clinic. Now that they had got this project, it


    would be a lot easier for them.


    ¡°Carrie, it¡¯s all on the contract. How could this be fake? There¡¯s a red stamp on it, right?¡±


    Carrie nodded, ¡°I know, I¡¯m just thrilled. Vincent is so capable. He even knows his way around Chelston


    Healthcare. If we let Calvin do it, he couldn¡¯t even make it to the front door.¡±


    Vincent was gloating. He wanted tough out loud but he didn¡¯t want to pull that sore muscle.


    ¡°Auntie, I don¡¯t mean to brag about it but this negotiation really exhausted me. You can ask Rita about


    this. There were piles of files about dozens of clinics and everyone¡¯s eyes are on this project. It took me


    a lot of efforts to impress Mr. Bradford and get this done.¡±


    Carrie was grateful, ¡°Vincent, thank you so much for this. Rest assured, I¡¯m not a petty person. I owe


    you one big favor this time.¡±


    Vincent stood straight in a humble gesture, ¡°Auntie, we¡¯re family. I¡¯m also the son-inw of the Houston


    family. Of course I¡¯ll try my best to help when ites to family matters. I can¡¯t just let Rita do all the


    work.¡±


    Carrie sighed, ¡°Hearing you said that, I feel kind of sad for myself. Calvin is also my son-inw. How


    can he be such a loser? What if Vincent...¡±


    She got carried away and Rita hurriedly interrupted her.


    ¡°Mom, we should ask him to stay for lunch.¡±


    ¡°Yes. Speaking of which, where¡¯s Calvin? That loser went out this morning for groceries. Where is he


    now? He¡¯s got his head over heels recently. Who does he think he is?¡±


    Vincent snorted, ¡°Auntie, you misunderstood him. He went to Chelston Healthcare today.¡±


    ¡°What? What was he there for? How could he help at all?¡±


    Vincent pouted, ¡°You¡¯re right, he wasn¡¯t being helpful and even sabotaged. Look at Rita¡¯s hand. He hit


    her.¡±


    Carrie stood up and took Rita¡¯s hand, only to find that her wrist was swollen.


    ¡°Rita, is that true?¡± Carrie asked gloomily.


    Rita hid her hand behind, ¡°Mom, he didn¡¯t mean to do that.¡±


    Vincent couldn¡¯t let this opportunity slip away.


    ¡°Rita, how can you still defend him? Auntie, the thing is, you asked me for help and Calvin didn¡¯t know


    that. So the moment he saw me with her, he flipped out and threw a water bottle at her. Thank God he


    only hit her wrist. If he hit her in the eyes...I couldn¡¯t even imagine it.¡±


    At this very moment, Calvin showed up at the door, ¡°I¡¯m back.¡±

 Chapter 23 Who鈥檚 The Bad Guy Now

    Chapter 23 Who¡¯s The Bad Guy Now


    Calvin changed his shoes and noticed that the atmosphere was getting weird in the living room.


    Then he looked at Vincent¡¯s distorted face and he took Rita¡¯s hint; he knew what was going on at once.


    This son of bitch was telling lies again.


    ¡°Mother...¡±


    The second he said that, Carrie threw the vase on the table at him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me mother. I don¡¯t have a son-inw like you.¡±


    Lewis was also furious, ¡°Calvin, you¡¯re a man. How could you hit your wife? You don¡¯t know what kind


    of woman Rita is? Who could you hurt her like that?¡±


    Calvin was aware of this situation. Vincent must have told them that he knocked down the bottle in


    Rita¡¯s hand.


    That was because the water was drugged.


    ¡°Father, mother, let me exin.¡±


    Carrie figured it out that Calvin must have been cheating thinking that Calvin was the one who brought


    up divorce and he dared to hit her daughter today.


    After all these years, she let a snake live in under her roof.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna kill you! You bastard!¡±


    Calvin couldn¡¯t hit her back and didn¡¯t want to let her hit him either. So he had to avoid her.


    The living room was in a chaos.


    Then, they heard someone roaring with anger, ¡°Are you trying to kill me?¡±


    Lewis looked back and found out it was Mrs. Houston, who was trembling out of wrath.


    ¡°Mom, why did you get out of bed?¡±


    Lewis came forward to hold her arms but got pushed away.


    ¡°Can you stop fighting and just live in peace? If you can¡¯t make this work, then just go your separate


    ways. You took me here from my second child¡¯s home just to make me live in a chaos?¡±


    Hearing that, Carrie had to stop chasing after Calvin.


    Vincent held Mrs. Houston and got her seated.


    ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t get upset. You can¡¯t me Auntie because nobody can take this. How could a mother


    ignore the fact that her own daughter was physically abused?¡±


    Mrs. Houston red at them and yelled, ¡°Rita was hurt? Who did that?¡±


    ¡°Who else could do something like that? The great son-inw of the Houston family.¡±


    Mrs. Houston went ahead with her walking stick and pointed at Calvin.


    ¡°You bastard. What did we do wrong to you? It¡¯s okay that you never thought of repaying our kindness.


    How dare you hurt my precious grandchild? I...I...¡±


    Mrs. Houston nearly fainted and Lewis hurriedly patted on her back tofort her.


    Vincent pulled a long face and said, ¡°Calvin, why are you still standing there? Come and apologize to


    Mrs. Houston.¡±


    Calvin went to Rita and asked, ¡°Rita, does it still hurt?¡±


    Rita looked away. It was a little toote to say that.


    Vincent was irritated that Calvin ignored him. He walked straight to him and grabbed Calvin¡¯s arm.


    ¡°I said, apologize to Mrs. Houston. Get down on your knees and beg for her forgiveness,¡±


    Calvin threw away his hand and nearly flipped Vincent over.


    Carrie red at him, ¡°You loser. Hitting Rita isn¡¯t enough for you? You want to hurt Vincent too? Vincent


    just helped us get the contract. He is the hero to our family. Apologize right now!¡±


    Vincent stood straight and gave Calvin a cocky look.


    ¡°Auntie, I don¡¯t care whether he apologize or not. I don¡¯t care about what he says. After all, he is my


    brother-inw. But based on the way he treats his family, he definitely messes around out there. I


    deeply care about our family. Calvin, you really need to apologize this time.¡±


    Betty was also helping her husband, ¡°Vincent has helped you a lot and this is your way of treating him?


    You don¡¯t want his help ever again?¡¯


    Everyone targeted at Calvin. But he just said coldly, ¡°First of all, I just nudged him a little. He was too


    weak. As for the reason why he was so vulnerable, you can ask him yourself.¡±


    Vincent was startled, ¡°What...what are you talking about? I¡¯m not weak.¡±


    Calvin ignored him, ¡°Secondly, I never asked him to help. I can do this without him.¡±


    Betty snorted, ¡°Auntie, you heard that? Your son-inw is really good at bragging. If you are capable of


    getting it done, Vincent wouldn¡¯t have to be so exhausted. You¡¯d better apologize now or we¡¯ll never


    help you again.¡±


    ¡°Apologize!¡± Carrie pointed her finger at him.


    Lewis was also mad at him, ¡°Calvin, you¡¯ve crossed a line this time. I have to take his side.¡±


    Calvin looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Rita.


    Rita bit her lips and then looked up at Calvin, ¡°You should apologize to Vincent. He has done what you


    should¡¯ve done in the first ce.¡±


    Calvin suddenlyughed, ¡°Really? You want the contract? I¡¯ve got one too.¡±


    Calvin took out the contract and tossed it on the table.


    Carrie took a look puzzledly and then froze.


    ¡°It really is the contract of medical cooperation.¡±


    Vincent was shocked, ¡°No way. Chelston Healthcare would never sign a contract with you. This must


    be fake.¡±


    Vincent opened this contract. When he saw the stamp at the end, he burst outughing.


    ¡°I was wondering how you got this contract. Turned out you forged one to fool us.¡±


    Carrie grabbed the contract and asked, ¡°Fake? That seems impossible. This looks like a real deal.¡±


    ¡°Auntie, look at the stamp. This contract is between us and Chelston Healthcare. Why would the stamp


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    be Chelston Bentley? Hahaha, this is hrious.¡±


    Betty came forward and looked at it. It read Chelston Bentley indeed and she was alsoughing hard,


    ¡°Come on, if you¡¯re gonna lie, try and do better! This is too fake! You think we¡¯re dumb? You¡¯re such a


    loser and everything you do is a joke.¡±


    Rita was deeply disappointed. When Calvin took out the contract, she was actually quite thrilled and


    moved. She thought he really did it and he wasn¡¯t that bad. She didn¡¯t even think about whether it could


    be a fake one or not.


    But Vincent¡¯s words vanished all her hopes.


    He was still the same. He always did something like this.


    Calvin suddenly smiled at Rita with tears in his eyes.


    Even if everyone pointed fingers at me, he wouldn¡¯t care at all.


    He only cared about what she thought.


    He had already proved that he wasn¡¯t a loser. Why couldn¡¯t she just trust him for once


    Never mind. He had got used to this. Only time would prove him right.


    Rita was stunned. Her heart hurt a little when Calvin smiled at her like that.


    What happened? Did she really wrong him?


    Why did she never know that his eyes were so sincere and sad?


    Rita was about to say something and then Calvin turned around, looking serious.


    He looked at Vincent, ¡°You did give up a lot for this but I can¡¯t say thanks to you.¡±


    Vincent narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something. But all of a sudden, he got kicked on his belly


    hard.


    He was tossed meters away and then thrown to the wall.


    Carrie didn¡¯t expect him to use violence and her eyes were wide open out of shock.


    ¡°You...you¡¯re gonna kill him in front of everyone? Call the police!¡±


    Rita ran over and stopped her, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t call the police. He¡¯s your son-inw.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a son-inw like him! Call the cops!¡±


    Betty held Vincent up and she ran to Calvin, ¡°You dare to hurt my husband! I¡¯m gonna kill you!¡±


    She rushed over. Then Calvin abruptly took out his phone and pressed it.


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, there are only the two of us in the room. Could you just tell me what you need?¡±


    ¡°One hundred thousand dors, and Miss Houston.¡±


    ¡°Of course we can offer you one hundred thousand, but Rita...¡±


    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that hard...¡±


    ¡°Miss Houston must be quite thirsty. You let her drink this water and just leave the rest to me...¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, don¡¯t get mad. Wait before I finish. I mean, can you also let me...¡±


    ¡°You bastard. You just said you don¡¯t like her that way. Keep faking it.¡±


    ¡°Not anymore. There¡¯s no need to hide in front of you, right? I¡¯ve actually wanted to sleep with her for a


    long time. Every time I see her, I just wanna hold her down and...¡±


    There was only silence in the living room. Betty covered her mouth with her eyes filled with shock. She


    could never believe that her husband would ever do things like that.


    Carrie was so frightened that she fell onto the couch.


    Rita¡¯s eyes shimmered with wrath.

 Chapter 24 An Unfair World

    Chapter 24 An Unfair World


    There were two things that men shouldn¡¯t looked straight into. One was the sun, the other was the


    heart.


    The former hurt your eyes. Thetter hurt your feelings.


    Vincent made himself look like a good son-inw and a loving husband.


    Today, Calvin unveiled his true self in front of everyone.


    This time, they finally knew how despicable and disgusting he really was.


    ¡°How did you know...¡±


    Vincent didn¡¯t care about the pain in his body anymore.


    He stumbled to his feet and wanted to grab Calvin¡¯s phone.


    Then, Calvin pped him hard in his face.


    This p was the revenge for the humiliation Vincent brought him all these years, his evil thoughts


    about Rita and his double-faced behaviors.


    Vincent vomited blood and spat out two of his teeth.


    Betty couldn¡¯t just look on and she wanted to hold him up. But Lewis was furious, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare help


    him!¡±


    ¡°Grandma...¡± Betty had to ask Mrs. Houston for help. Mrs. Houston wanted to say something but even


    she felt like Vincent had taken it too far.


    Atst, she sighed, ¡°Vincent, how could you do that? How could you help others to do harm to your


    family? You disappointed me.¡±


    Vincent lowered his head and didn¡¯t dare to utter a word. He knew at this time, he had to pretend in


    order to make them pity him.


    After all, the Houstons all liked him so much before.


    In the living room, the atmosphere was pretty weird.


    The one who was targeted at became Vincent. They all found out that they had wronged Calvin.


    Even though this was not the first time.


    Especially Rita. The look on her face was veryplicated.


    She mustered her courage and murmured, ¡°Calvin, then the time you tossed that water bottle at me...¡±


    ¡°Since I had known what they were up to, I can¡¯t let you drink that. At that time, you¡¯ve already opened


    the bottle. I had to do that. So, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Rita shook her head, ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologized to me. Thank God that you saved me. Or else I


    don¡¯t know what I should do.¡±


    Vincent suddenly looked up at them. After he lost his teeth, he couldn¡¯t speak very clearly.


    ¡°Auntie, I admit that bastard Bradford did want to do bad things to Rita. But I was just going along with


    him in order to get that contract so I could help you out. How could I ever do such terrible things? Rita,


    you gotta believe me.¡±


    After that, Betty said hastily, ¡°Right, we all know who Vincent really is. He was forced to do that. And


    Rita ispletely fine after all.¡±


    Rita stared at this shameless couple coldly, ¡°That¡¯s because Calvin saved me. Otherwise...¡±


    Betty snorted, ¡°How can you prove he was telling the truth? What if he was lying? Are you gonna wrong


    Vincent?¡±


    Everyone started to think this through. Yes, this recording did make people despise Vincent.


    But what if Calvin was lying? How did Calvin know there was something wrong with that bottle of


    water?


    After all, Rita waspletely fine and was still standing in front of everyone.


    Mrs. Houston cleared her throat, ¡°Vincent, no matter what you say, we are all disappointed in you.¡±


    Vincent was lying on the ground like a dead dog. He didn¡¯t dare to exin for himself.


    ¡°But we can¡¯t just give him up. I personally think Vincent only verbally humiliated Rita. At the end of the


    day, I believe he only said that to get the contract. He and Betty have always been a loving couple,


    which we have all witnessed.¡±


    Betty held on to Mrs. Houston¡¯s arms and cried, ¡°Thank you grandma, Vincent definitely didn¡¯t mean


    that.¡±


    Calvin sneered. After all this, she still dared to say that Vincent was wronged. He was curious how far


    they could go.


    Rita was breathing hastily. This time, she really thought Mrs. Houston was being totally unfair.


    ¡°Grandma, you think he did nothing wrong?¡±


    Mrs. Houston was stunned, ¡°I... let alone whether he is wrong or not, Calvin...¡±


    Speaking of Calvin, Mrs. Houston¡¯s tone turned cold.


    ¡°Do you have any proof Vincent did give her the drugged water?¡±


    Calvin looked at her, ¡°Isn¡¯t the recording enough?¡±


    ¡°Of course not. Vincent had exined that.¡±


    Calvin asked, ¡°And you believe him?¡±


    ¡°I¡­I do. He is a good kid.¡±


    Calvin asked again, ¡°But what about me? Will you trust me?¡¯


    Mrs. Houston was astonished. She didn¡¯t like his attitude. He was questioning her.


    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m not going to answer that. I just want to know if you have any proof or not.¡±


    Calvinughed. He looked at Carrie and asked, ¡°Mother, Rita is your child. If something happens to her,


    you ought to help her. You chased after me just because I bruised her wrist before, right?¡¯


    Carrie felt a little guilty, ¡°I, I would definitely help her. Vincent, you swear that everything you said is


    true.¡±


    Vincent got down on his knees and said, ¡°Auntie, I swear if I ever lied to you, I¡¯ll be condemned to burn


    in hell for eternity.¡±


    Carrie nodded and turned to Calvin, ¡°Vincent swore and I believe he was telling the truth.¡±


    Calvin took a deep breath and asked, ¡°So, you choose to believe him?¡±


    ¡°Yes...I do.¡±


    Calvin looked up to the ceiling and talked to himself.


    ¡°This world is so fucking unfair.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t ask Rita the same question. He didn¡¯t want to irritate her.


    The truth was, he didn¡¯t dare to do that either.


    If Rita also chose to believe Vincent, Calvin didn¡¯t know whether he would break down or not.


    ¡°Vincent!¡± Calvin abruptly shouted gloomily.


    ¡°Ahhh...¡±


    ¡°Let me ask you onest time. Do you admit that you wanted to drug Rita?¡±


    Vincent denied without hesitation, ¡°How is that even possible? Don¡¯t frame me.¡±


    ¡°Look me in my eyes! Do you admit that!¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    Mrs. Houston struck her walking stick to the ground.


    ¡°What are you doing right now? You really want to tear our family apart? We all believe that he didn¡¯t do


    it. What more do you want?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re just jealous of him because he got the contract which makes you look bad.¡±


    ¡°How can a man be so petty? You¡¯re not qualified to be the son-inw of the Houston family.¡±


    Betty tried to make things worse for Calvin by saying, ¡°Grandma, he¡¯s just jealous of Vincent. Vincent


    had tried so hard to get that contract for the Houston family. And Calvin dared to record this and


    snitch!¡±


    Hearing that, Carrie started to look at Calvin differently.


    Just as she was about to say something, Calvin took the chance and said, ¡°Fine, then I¡¯ll show you who


    your loving son-inw really is!¡±


    ¡°Vincent, don¡¯t me it on me. You¡¯re the one who didn¡¯t want to admit it.¡±


    Vincent stood up subconsciously, ¡°Calvin, what do you want? What did I do to you to wrong me like


    this?¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t say more to him and just turn on the screen in the living room.


    He took out of his phone and projected a video on the screen.


    The video was shot by Paul¡¯s secretary.


    The video quality was very high.


    On the screen, there was two bodies tangling with each other.


    The scene drove everyone in the room into madness.


    Mrs. Houston yelled, ¡°Oh my God!¡±


    Betty stared at Vincent and there was no life in her eyes. Suddenly she threw up and there was vomit


    everywhere in the living room.


    Rita red at Calvin. She seemed to me him for putting on such a disgusting video,


    Calvin shrugged. He was forced to do that.


    By the time he thought this was enough, Calvin turned off the video and put on another recording.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Mr. Bradford, why did you say yes to Vincent? You just took two hundred thousand from Mr. Jones.¡±


    ¡°So what? They brought the money to me. Was I supposed to turn that down?¡±


    ¡°But what about Mr. Jones?¡±


    ¡°You, get a copy of contract and use the fake stamp...¡±


    Carrie looked at the contract on the desk.


    She was speechless. Which one was the real one? Which one was the fake one?


    Then Calvin looked at Mrs. Houston, ¡°Do you still believe he is innocent?¡±


    Mrs. Houston was shocked. She stuttered for a minute and then shook her head and sighed.


    Calvin was being kind of too aggressive. He turned to Carrie and asked, ¡°Mother, do you believe him


    now?¡±


    Even though Carrie knew she was wrong about Vincent, that didn¡¯t mean Calvin could be so rude to


    her.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe him but I also don¡¯t believe you. You¡¯re no better than him. You used a fake contract to


    fool me...¡±


    Before she could finish her nonsense, Calvin called someone on Facetime.


    The screen showed Selena¡¯s face and she was surprised, ¡°Calvin...¡±

 Chapter 25 The Misunderstanding

    Chapter 25 The Misunderstanding


    ¡°Miss Bentley, sorry to bother you. The contract I brought home got the stamp of Chelston Bentley


    Group and everyone is having some doubts.¡±


    ¡°Oh, about that, you guys don¡¯t need to worry. I will be holding a press conference shortly to announce


    my acquisition of Chelston Healthcare Group. If you still have some concern, you can wait for that.¡±


    Nobody dared to question Selena Bentley.


    Carrie¡¯s eyes were wide open. She couldn¡¯t believe that Calvin really did it.


    And it was five hundred thousand dors.


    Two hundred thousand more than they expected.


    ¡°Thank you, Miss Bentley. Sorry to interrupt you like that.¡±


    He hung up the phone and looked at Carrie, ¡°Now, can you trust me?¡±


    Carrie didn¡¯t know how to answer. She felt like her face was burning.


    The loser who had always listened to whatever she said suddenly brought back a contract worth of five


    hundred thousand dors and saved the Houston''s Clinic.


    She was actually kind of satisfied.


    But Carrie Houston would never give in.


    ¡°What? You¡¯re gloating? It¡¯s just a contract. So what? I don¡¯t care about that five hundred thousand


    dors. Don¡¯t forget what we provided you in the past two years...¡±


    Before she finished her sentence, Calvin took out another file.


    ¡°A reservation contract of medical supplies outsourcing worth of one million dors. Is it enough for


    you?¡¯


    The Houstons were all shocked. They stared at him with disbelief.


    He not only had aplished an unlikely practical cooperation, he also had gotten a contract worth of


    one million dors.


    Carrie immediately responded, ¡°Impossible.¡±


    Lewis grabbed the contract and took a closer look. He was thrilled.


    ¡°It¡¯s true. It¡¯s really worth one million! Calvin, great job! This business is a sure bet.¡±


    Normally, Calvin would be happy to get apliment.


    But today, he was faced with too many doubts and questions. He was not a man of steel and his


    feelings were really hurt.


    Carrie was quite gloomy. The first thing crossed her mind wasn¡¯t how much money the Houston family


    would make but was whether Calvin could be tamed after this.


    Why could he be so good at this? What kind of loser was he?


    ¡°That¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s only luck.¡±


    Rita had been silent until she suddenly said with jealousy, ¡°It¡¯s not luck. He¡¯s got someone¡¯s help.¡±


    Carrie was puzzled, ¡°Help? From whom?¡±


    Rita got even more furious. She didn¡¯t expect that this contract was given by Selena. He didn¡¯t work


    hard at all.


    It was really generous of her. She gave him $ 1.5 million at once.


    Was that home wrecker trying to give this to her as the part fee?


    No wonder he wanted to divorce her.


    Seeing that her daughter was getting mad, Carrie gasped, ¡°Is Selena the one who helped you?¡±


    ¡°Who else could it be? Calvin, congrattions.¡±


    Calvin was stunned, ¡°Rita, what do you mean?¡±


    ¡°You got the contract and you paid off the debts you owed us. Now you get to divorce me and pursue


    your happiness. Why can¡¯t I congratte you?¡±


    Calvin knew she misunderstood. Nothing could happen between Selena and him.


    ¡°Rita, you misunderstood.¡±


    Carrie scorned him in wrath, ¡°Calvin, good for you. You stayed at home all the time and I didn¡¯t expect


    you to cheat on Rita with a chairwoman.¡±


    Betty added, ¡°The Inte is really convenient for cheating these days. Men can cheat on you under


    your nose. Hmm, I thought he suddenly got smarter somehow. Turns out he is just digging another


    woman¡¯s gold. Auntie, you can¡¯t let him go so easily. He wants a divorce? Better keep dreaming!¡±


    Calvin actually didn¡¯t want a divorce. He only said that because they forced him to do that.


    But he really did consider whether he would hold Rita back.


    To love someone is not to possess. As long as it was good for Rita, Calvin would do anything for her.


    No one would know how painful it was for Calvin to propose the divorce.


    They all just believed that he was cheating.


    Seeing that Calvin remained silent, Carrie thought she was onto something and kept pushing.


    ¡°You think this is over? I haven¡¯t asked you topensate all the time she wasted on you. Do you


    know how much her youth worth?¡±


    Calvin yelled at Carrie, ¡°What more do you want?¡±


    ¡°Go back to the kitchen and prepare our lunch! I¡¯m hungry and have no strength to argue with you. I¡¯ll


    do the math with you after lunch.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t say anything and went to the kitchen.


    Carrie spat at him and said, ¡°Jerk. You should¡¯ve died long time ago.¡±


    Rita looked at his direction. After she calmed herself down, she felt less sure.


    Was he really having that kind of rtionship with Selena?


    If she was right, would he be so okay with meeting Selena openly?


    They didn¡¯t seem to be that intimate. Was she misunderstanding him?


    Why didn¡¯t he exin for himself? Was there no need to do that? Does he not care about this at all?


    Vincent slipped out of the Houston¡¯s house like a rat.


    From now on, he would never get back to his former position in the Houston family ever again.


    The lunch began with Carrie¡¯s satire.


    ¡°Why are the dishes so in? Do we run out of salt? Oh right, the Houston family is not such a


    prestigious family and we¡¯d better live on a budget. After all, how could bepare with a billionaire


    chairwoman?¡±


    Calvin nudged the seasoning to her, ¡°You need to dip the chicken fingers in the sauce.¡±


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Hearing that, Carrie started to pick on another te.


    ¡°What is that dark little thing? Is that even edible? You¡¯re a different man now and you don¡¯t put a lot of


    efforts in cooking, huh?¡±


    Rita couldn¡¯t take it anymore, ¡°Mom, it¡¯s mushrooms. Of course it looks dark.¡±


    Carrie red at her, ¡°You¡¯re taking his side now?¡±


    Calvin wanted to scoop some food but Carrie stopped him with her fork.


    ¡°You¡¯ve only made four dishes. What are we gonna eat if you eat the whole thing? By the way, how can


    you eat such normal in meals now? You should go to a five-star hotel. You¡¯re a gold-digger and you


    should live up to that, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Calvin put down his fork and left the room.


    Carrie still couldn¡¯t let him go easily, ¡°Look how grumpy he¡¯s be! I can¡¯t even say another word


    about him now. He wants a divorce? Well, it¡¯s never gonna happen!¡±


    When he walked to the door, his phone rang. It was Mary.


    Calvin hesitated and chose to pick up the phone.


    ¡°Calvin, where are you...¡±


    Mary seemed to be crying and she was trembling as she spoke.


    ¡°I¡¯m home. What do you want?¡±


    ¡°Nothing,¡± she sounded pretty upset, ¡°okay, I shouldn¡¯t call you at all. We broke up long time ago.¡±


    Then she hung up the phone.


    Calvin looked at his phone and frowned. What exactly was she trying to say?


    Before he could react to this, the phone rang again and it was still Mary.


    This time, she burst out crying, ¡°Calvin, that son of a bitch John abandoned me. He gave me all kinds


    of diseases. I don¡¯t know what to do. He¡¯s got the karaoke bar and I have nothing. I don¡¯t wanna live


    anymore.¡±


    Calvin was surprised that she found out she was infected.


    Everyone would be scared to death when they found out they had that kind of disease.


    Life mattered a lot to him. He couldn¡¯t just ignore herpletely, ¡°Don¡¯t be so afraid. It might be


    curable. Don¡¯t be rational. Where are you?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind me. I had iting. I shouldn¡¯t leave you in the first ce. Every time I think about the time


    we were still together, I feel like that was the happiest time of my life...¡±


    Calvin was having some hard feelings because they did have a great time together during those years.


    ¡°Mary, just tell me where you are.¡±


    Mary gave him an address. Calvin hung up and was about to rush over there. But then Rita said behind


    him, ¡°You can¡¯t wait to see her already? Have you ever considered my feelings? We¡¯re not divorced


    yet.¡±


    Calvin turned around and wanted to exin. But Rita just shut the door heavily.


    He had no choice but to send her a message, ¡°It¡¯s not what you think. I¡¯m going to save someone¡¯s


    life.¡±


    Under the guidance of GPS, Calvin hade to the corner of an alley. He looked up and found a ce


    named Perry¡¯s Cafe. The name of this cafe was hard to recognize. It took him some time to be sure


    that he was in the right ce.


    Why would Mary want to take her own life in a ce like this?


    Then he gave it a second thought and found it somehow reasonable. The houses in this area would


    soon be taken down. Maybe she wanted to die in a quiet ce.


    He pushed the door open and was surprised by what he saw.

 Chapter 26 Wicked Woman

    Chapter 26 Wicked Woman


    reading more In the wide yard, several thugs were having a barbecue.


    Calvin looked around and didn¡¯t find Mary.


    ¡°Hey! Who the hell are you to walk in here like that?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just looking for someone!¡±


    As soon as Calvin finished his sentence, there was someoneughing back in the room. Then, a


    middle-aged man in a suit, with his hairbed back, came out slowly.


    ¡°Hahaha! You bastard finally came here!¡±


    Calvin was stunned for a while. It was Paul Bradford. How would he be here? Where was Mary?


    Paul walked towards him. Seeing that he was having some doubts, he got even cockier, ¡°What?


    Wondering why I know you¡¯re here? Let me introduce someone to you, John...¡±


    The window on the second floor was opened. John was standing behind the window with Mary in his


    arms. He was smoking and ring fiercely at Calvin.


    ¡°Calvin, you¡¯re finally in my hands now.¡±


    Based on the look on Mary¡¯s face, he finally realized he was tricked.


    That was the reason why she chose to lead him to the middle of nowhere. They wanted him dead.


    Calvin looked around and there came eight people from both sides and the door behind him was


    locked.


    John threw his cigarette butt at Calvin''s feet and said, ¡°Thank God. This was easier than I thought.


    Let¡¯s see how you¡¯re gonna get outta this. Babe, you¡¯re so brilliant to think of this n. This bastard is a


    pain in the ass.¡±


    Mary leaned over his chest and said in a sweet voice, ¡°I told you he is a simp. Once I smile at him, he¡¯ll


    just run to me and beg me to take another look at him.¡±


    Calvin was shocked that Mary was the one who set him up.


    She was indeed a wicked woman.


    Mary looked down at him, ¡°Calvin, you brought this to yourself. Why can¡¯t you just continue to be a


    useless son-inw of the Houston family? Why can¡¯t you stop messing around? You really think you¡¯re


    gonna be a big shot someday?¡±


    Calvin red at her in her eyes and clutched his fists.


    John chuckled, ¡°Baby, he got mad. What to do? I¡¯m so scared. He must be angry at you too. After all,


    you yed him like a violin. If I were him, I would get furious too.¡±


    Mary snorted, ¡°Calvin, who do you think you are? You¡¯re nothing but a live-in son-inw. The Houstons


    treat you like garbage and you still work your ass off for them. Even at the cost of pissing uncle Paul


    off. You ask for it.¡±


    Calvin took a deep breath and calmed himself down, ¡°John and Paul. Uncle and nephew? No wonder


    why you are all so disgusting. Mr. Bradford, how¡¯s your anus doing?¡±


    Paul couldn¡¯t help clutching his ass. He could barely stand up right now. Even if he walked, he could


    only do it in a slow pace.


    This was 100 times worse than hemorrhoids.


    John stared at him coldly, ¡°You must be the one who sabotaged my uncle¡¯s career. I was gonna only


    break your legs. Now that you¡¯re so loathsome, I¡¯m going to break your junk too.


    ¡±


    Mary acted coy, ¡°Honey, his wife would be miserable.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, she has been living like a widow for a long time. I heard that she never allowed him toy a


    finger on her. Maybe she is still a virgin. What a douche bag he is.¡±


    ¡°Mr. John, his wife must be having fun out there and cheating on him.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s help her deal with her loneliness. His wife is freaking hot.¡±


    Calvin clenched his fists. Even though Rita and he were getting divorced, he would never allow anyone


    to say such horrible things about Rita.


    ¡°You asked for it.¡±


    Calvin made a sudden move and the punks surrounding him got kicked to the ground.


    John barked, ¡°Why are you still standing there? Go and get him!¡±


    Bang! Calvin¡¯s moves were incredibly hard and fast.


    He punched and broke someone¡¯s jaw.


    Then he kicked and shattered someone¡¯s arm.


    Calvin kept getting better at this and he was doing it out of instincts.


    After a while, there were eight men lying and howling on the ground.


    John gasped and wondered why he could be unbeatable.


    ¡°How...how did he get so good at this.¡±


    ¡°Mr. John, what to do? He¡¯sing at us.¡±


    It took Paul a long time to move aside. But as he turned around, the men he brought here were all


    down.


    He was astonished at the scene.


    Calvin looked at him and sneered, ¡°Mr. Bradford, don¡¯t be scared, I won¡¯t pick on a disabled person.¡±


    ¡°You...¡±


    Calvin walked inside the building without realizing that Paul was holding wine bottle and aiming at his


    head.


    At this very moment, Calvin dodged that bottle and grabbed it in his hand.


    Without any hesitation, he twirled the bottle and smashed it on Paul¡¯s forehead.


    Paul was knocked out and fell to the ground.


    John had got cold feet at this scene. The men his uncle brought were all thugs and they were good at


    fighting. He couldn¡¯t imagine that they couldn¡¯t even take one hit from Calvin.


    Who said he was a loser? Was there ever a loser like that?


    ¡°Why the hell are you hiding Block the stairs and don¡¯t let hime up here!¡±


    Seeing that John didn¡¯t know what to do, Mary was frightened. She just got carried away and told him


    she was the one who came up with this idea. She couldn¡¯t count on John anymore. Would Calvin let


    her go?


    He would. After all, he used to be in love with her.


    The old wooden stairs started screaming squeakily. He wasing up here.


    John¡¯s whole body was trembling out of fear, ¡°I give ten grand to whoever block him from me!¡±


    John¡¯s only hope was that Calvin wouldn¡¯t barge in and beat him up.


    The wounds fromst time hadn¡¯tpletely healed yet.


    Two dumb-asses grabbed a chair and tossed it down the stairs, hoping that this would stop Calvin from


    Then after some cracking sounds, someone shed through the stairs.


    Calvin¡¯s eyes turned red and he wasn¡¯t aware that he looked vicious like a devil.


    He felt his palm was getting hotter and the Yin-Yang Compass was swirling like crazy.


    The air was sizzling and the unseen dark power was sucked into thepass. The dark light was


    soaring.


    ¡°Oh my god, his eyes! I¡¯m out!¡±


    ¡°I wanna go home!¡±


    These two men couldn¡¯t take the heat and they just jumped out of the window.


    ¡°Ahhh...¡± they screamed painfully.


    John leaned on the window and saw them holding their legs, crying. Their bones had already struck out


    of their flesh.


    John¡¯s head felt numb and he turned to Calvin.


    ¡°What...what do you want?¡±


    Calvin grinned, ¡°What? Mr. John seems quite forgetful. You tricked me over here and you¡¯re the one


    who asked me what I want?¡±


    ¡°I¡­It¡¯s not me, it¡¯s her! She came up with this idea! This bitch...¡±


    Mary gazed at him. She didn¡¯t know how despicable John could be. He could throw her under the bus


    without giving it a second thought.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Calvin¡¯s voice was cold as ice.


    John said hastily, ¡°It¡¯s her. I was thinking that I should just let it go. After all, we¡¯ve got history and this


    hatred is never going to an end if I keep seeking revenge. But she had been pushing me and telling me


    I should get back at you. She also called you a loser and you only got luckyst time. If I bring more

    men with me, I¡¯ll kick your ass.¡±


    Mary felt hopeless. This was the man she had loved for so many years. What a jerk!


    Mary wasn¡¯t a coward like John. Because she knew Calvin well and he wouldn¡¯t be so hard on her.


    ¡°Yes, I said it. I just hate you. What are you gonna do about it? You¡¯re gonna hit me or push me down


    the stairs?¡±


    Calvin said coldly, ¡°Rest assured, I won¡¯t do that to you. After all, we¡¯ve got history.¡±


    Mary was d to hear that. He was still such a simp just as she expected.


    I gave you a chance and you gave it up yourself. I never begged you for it.


    On the contrary, John was terrified. Calvin let Mary go. Did that mean he couldn¡¯t let him


    slide?  reading more

    reading more ¡°Mr. Whitney, we used to go to the same school together. We were ssmates! I know I


    was wrong. Please forgive me this time and I¡¯ll never do it again.¡±


    Calvin raised his hand and stopped his speech, ¡°You¡¯re all talking about what we used to be. How


    about this, there¡¯s only one of you who will go down the stairs and the other one...¡±


    Mary and John were both desperate. They knew the other one was going to be thrown out of the


    window.


    John looked at Mary and she looked right back at him.


    ¡°Mary, I can¡¯t do this. How about you...¡±


    Mary ground her teeth. Did he think she was dumb? From this height, if she was lucky, she would


    break her legs; if she wasn¡¯t, she would die.


    ¡°John, you told me that you loved me, right? How can you let me jump out of the window?¡±


    John hesitated for a while and then lowered his head, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to get hurt. You¡¯re my one and


    only. Never mind, just go.¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t expect him to be this responsible. He was even a little impressed.


    Mary bit her lips and looked him into his eyes, ¡°John, no matter what you be, I will always love


    you.¡±


    Then she instantly turned around and walked down the stairs.


    It was hard to imagine how loving she was a second ago.


    Calvin honored his words and let Mary through.


    But at that time, John rushed over there and grabbed Mary¡¯s waist.


    ¡°John, what are you doing?¡± Mary was nearly scared to death.


    ¡°What am I doing? Why aren¡¯t you the one who jumps out of the window? How much money I spent on


    you, huh? I only slept with you for a few times and this is not a good deal for me. Now it¡¯s time for you


    to pay me back!¡±


    Mary struggled and scratched his arms with his nails.


    ¡°Bitch!¡± John yelled and threw her out of the window.


    ¡°Ahhh...¡± she screamed desperately.


    Mary looked back at the window. John¡¯s distorted face was deeply imprinted in her head.


    For a split second, she regretted everything she had ever done.


    If it was Calvin, he¡¯d jump for her without any hesitation.


    Remorse welled up in her heart. Unfortunately, it was already toote.


    Calvin walked silently to the window and watched as her blood spreading on the ground...


    ¡°You are a monster.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I don¡¯t wanna die. I spent so much money on her. She would make my money worthwhile. Are


    you gonna break your promise?¡±


    Calvin said emotionlessly, ¡°I¡¯m not despicable like you. Piss off.¡±


    John ground his teeth and thought to himself that he would definitely revenge for himself.


    But he was truly scared of Calvin. He went towards the stairs in a defensive gesture,


    Just as he was about to walk down the stairs, he found that Calvin was standing in front of the window


    gloomily.


    What a great chance!


    He clenched his fists and then dashed forward to push his back to the window.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    They were close to each other and Calvin was distracted by Mary.


    John had all these advantages and was certain that it was Calvin¡¯s doom day.


    His hands were about to touch Calvin¡¯s back.


    Suddenly, something shed in front of his eyes and Calvin disappeared.


    He saw the window and it was toote for him to stop.


    ¡°Ahhh...¡± John flew out of the window and fell heavily onto the solid ground.


    Blood kept spurring out of his mouth...


    Calvin sighed, ¡°It¡¯s all karma.¡±


    He stepped on the window and then jumped down onto the ground elegantly.


    He gazed at the blood and felt the urge to fight somebody.


    There was not a single person who was still standing except for him. Of course he couldn¡¯t find anyone


    to fight with.


    He didn¡¯t know when Paul ran away. Looked like he had to find him next time.


    Calvin walked to the door and then stopped.


    There were more than forty people waiting in the alley.


    Paul was standing up front with his face covered in blood.


    ¡°Kill him!¡±


    After he yelled, all of those forty people waved their pats and knives at once and came at Calvin.


    Calvin¡¯s heart started pounding loud and he felt like he was an unbeatable warrior.


    That was the feeling! Come one! Let¡¯s fight!


    Calvin¡¯s eyes turned red again and the Yin-Yang Compass in his palm was shing dark light,


    Paul began grinning and he was sure that Calvin was going down.


    Bang!


    The first couple of punks got punched out of the way and their bodies knocked over a bunch of people.


    To their surprise, faced with so many people, Calvin did not back up but kept beating them down.


    He discovered that the Yin-Yang Compass could not only cure diseases but could also give him great


    power.


    His body was filled up with white and dark power and nobody could beat him now.


    Great power came with great sensation.


    Calvin clenched his fists and his muscles were bulging. He put up her hands and roared, ¡°Bring it on!¡±


    Right now, he was like a devil from hell!


    With Calvin at the center, a one-meter radius was an absolute no-life zone.


    Neither bats nor knives could harm him anymore.


    Before they could touch his body, their bones were shattered into pieces.


    Dozens of men were crawling at his feet, screaming and yelling.


    Their screams intimidated other people and chilled a few of them to the bones.


    ¡°Hang in there! Block him there! He¡¯s all alone! Come at him!¡±


    Paul kept nagging them to get Calvin but he kept stepping backwards.


    The people up front had nowhere to retreat and had to rush ahead.


    But Calvin¡¯s fists were faster than their eyes.


    Before they even knew it, they were knocked several meters away. One of them was tossed on top of


    Paul, who was about to flee.


    ¡°Ahhh! My waist!¡±


    Paul¡¯s waist was hit. That 200-pound man crushed his body and he nearly vomited blood.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    After that, the alley got a lot quieter.


    There were only three men left and Calvin slowly approached them.


    ¡°Oh my god! He¡¯s a monster! Let¡¯s run away!!¡±


    One of them fled away and the other two were shaking with terror. They both dropped their wooden


    bats and followed him.


    ¡°Come back! You fuckinge back!¡±


    Paul had barely caught his breath when a pair of leather shoes appeared in front of him.


    He looked up and found that Calvin was quietly watching him.


    ¡°You...Don''t touch me. I can get hundreds of people here!¡±


    Calvin said coldly, ¡°Good, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±


    ¡°What...What are you trying to do? John is the one who messed with you, not me. They just used me to


    trick you here. I know nothing!¡±


    ¡°Oh, so I shouldn¡¯t me you, huh?¡±


    ¡°Yes! You want to cooperate with me, right? I know, I¡¯ll take the Houston clinic into consideration.


    ¡±


    Calvin suddenly burst intoughter. The next second, he stepped one of his feet on Paul¡¯s chest.


    Paul couldn¡¯t remember how many times he vomited blood today.


    He felt like his chest was suppressed by a boulder and he couldn¡¯t breathe.


    Was he still a human?


    ¡°Don¡¯t...don¡¯t be like this...We can...talk this through.¡±


    ¡°You lost. And Chelston Healthcare, no, Chelston Bentley has fired you. You really think you can fool


    me?¡±


    Paul was astonished, ¡°Why...why did you know all of this?¡¯


    ¡°Hmm, because I¡¯ve already got the contract.¡±


    Paul could do nothing but beg Calvin to let him live on his knees.


    The sirens of the ambnce wereing from afar. There¡¯s no security camera here so they wouldn¡¯t


    have any evidence.


    The doctors ran into the alley and were all shocked.


    The alley was filled with men whose arms and legs were broken. But they only got one car.


    ¡°Report to the headquarter for backup. I¡¯ll go in there.¡±


    The doctors ran into the yard and Mary was lying on the ground, whispering, ¡°Save...save me...¡±


    ¡°Help me! Help me first and I¡¯ll give you money!¡± John also yelled.


    The doctors leaned over to check their conditions, ¡°They¡¯ve lost too much blood. We need a transfusion


    now. Blood test first.¡±


    Two doctors opened their first aid kits and took out the simple blood test paper. One of them shouted,


    ¡°You¡¯ve got the wrong one. It is blue.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault. Oh, doctor, see...¡±


    The other doctor turned around and froze, ¡°Miss, you...you¡¯ve got AIDS.¡±


    Mary was astonished. After a while, she slowly turned to John.


    Everyone heard her screaming squeakily, ¡°John, I¡¯m gonna kill you...¡±  reading more

    Chapter 28 The Incident at The Bar


    swnovels In the Aqua Bar, Rita was taking shots, trying to get herself drunk.


    Next to her, a couple of chic pretty girls who were wearing a ton of makeup were gossiping.


    ¡°What happened to Rita? She seldom drinks alcohol before.¡±


    ¡°Well, she¡¯s in a bad mood, obvi.¡±


    The hot girl sitting next to Rita was wearing a red leather skirt. Her nice legs attracted lots of attention.


    She was Amanda Cooper. She was pretty and her body was shaped like an hourss.


    ¡°Rita, that loser pissed you off again?¡±


    Speaking of Calvin, Rita couldn¡¯t suppress her anger.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention him. I¡¯m sick of this!¡±


    All the girls realized it was indeed about that loser.


    ¡°Rita, we really don¡¯t get it why you chose that douche bag. You¡¯re rich and pretty. You can do so much


    better.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I heard that your family asked you to marry him only because he could end the doom of your


    family. But it¡¯s been three years. The doom must be ended by now. You should just dumb him and find


    a better one. Do you want me to set a date for you?¡¯


    The other girls were all kicking up a fuss and Rita felt sick. She got up and ran to the toilet.


    Rita threw up and then washed her face by the sink. She finally felt better.


    When she walked out of the toilet, a man stopped her.


    Rita frowned and looked up. It was a slender young man who was wearing designer¡¯s clothes. He was


    grinning wickedly at her.


    ¡°Honey, can I buy you a drink?¡±


    Even if Rita wasn¡¯t upset over a man, she would never ept a drink from a total stranger.


    ¡°Leave me alone!¡±


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Honey, we¡¯re all here for fun. Don¡¯t you think?¡±


    The young man kept showing off the Rolex on his wrist.


    ¡°Not interested! Go away!¡±


    Rita was still giving him the cold shoulder. The young man finally lost his patience and got mad.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tter yourself. I¡¯ve seen a lot of women like you. Stop acting so condescending. You¡¯re nothing


    but a slut once you slept with me. Come!¡±


    Rita kept struggling but she wasn¡¯t strong enough.


    ¡°Who the hell are you? How dare you do that to my friend?¡±


    The young man nced at Amanda and snorted.


    ¡°Auntie, mind your own business. Why are you still out there? You look so old. You think we¡¯re blind or


    something?¡±


    Amanda¡¯s skin condition wasn¡¯t good and she cared a lot about her appearance. Every time she went


    out, she would put on too much makeup. She did look older but not old enough to be called ¡°auntie¡±.


    Actually, she was a year younger than Rita,


    This young man dared to call her auntie! Amanda went crazy and pped him in his face.


    The young man didn¡¯t expect her to hit him and he just froze there for a while.


    After a long time, he realized she just attacked him and he red at her viciously, ¡°Good for you. You¡¯d


    better wait for what¡¯s gonna happen next.¡±


    Amanda sneered, ¡°What you gonna do about it? Who doesn¡¯t know some big shots these days? Let¡¯s


    go for another round!¡±


    The other girls surrounded Amanda and kept on ttering her. Amanda¡¯s ego got even bigger and she


    stopped worrying at all.


    As they were having fun, Amanda¡¯s phone rang, ¡°Hello? Mom, I¡¯m hanging out with my girls.¡±


    ¡°What...

 Chapter 29 Bobby Roberts

    Chapter 29 Bobby Roberts


    swnovels Calvin got a call from Selena. On the phone, she asked him toe to the hospital as


    soon as possible.


    Calvin thought to himself as he walked, ¡°Did something happen to the old man again? But that seemed


    impossible.¡±


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Outside the ward, Calvin found Selena talking to a middle-aged man.


    When she saw Calvin, she smiled gently, ¡°Calvin, there you are. I''d like you to meet Mr. Roberts¡¯ son,


    Bobby Roberts.¡±


    Selena had been searching for his family and finally seeded.


    Calvin took a look at Bobby Roberts. He was about forty years old. He looked handsome and


    respectable. He was giving Calvin amando vibe and he could tell Bobby wasn¡¯t just an ordinary


    man.


    ¡°Minister Roberts, this is the man who saved your father¡¯s life twice, Calvin Whitney.¡±


    Bobby Roberts was excited and reached out his hand to him, ¡°Thank you so much, young man. I would


    never be able to see my father again if it weren¡¯t for you.¡±


    Calvin smiled humbly, ¡°I just happened to meet him. Actually, I was also there that day and it¡¯s not


    entirely Mr. Bentley''s fault.¡±


    Selena didn''t expect Calvin to defend her like that and she was a bit touched.


    ¡°Hahaha, what a nice fellow. You two look great together.¡±


    Calvin was surprised to hear that. He just heard Selena called him minister. Nobody would be happy to


    meet the person who almost killed his father.


    He ate the Basilisk Venom Selena gave him and he had always been looking for an opportunity to


    return that favor, which was the reason why he said that.


    But Bobby seemed to misunderstand.


    Selena felt shy and lowered her head. Her face had turned red.


    ¡°Minister Roberts, it¡¯s been a huge misunderstanding.¡±


    Bobby raised his hand and stopped him from talking, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ve figured it all out. Miss Bentley was


    trying to dodge a red car who was running a red light and had no choice but to identally hit my


    father. What¡¯s more, my father broke several traffic rules at that time. Fortunately, you saved his life.¡±


    Calvin was relieved that Bobby was so reasonable and Selena wouldn¡¯t be in trouble.


    During the conversation, Calvin learned that Bobby was an official in charge of infrastructure. He had


    juste back from a research trip, so Selena couldn¡¯t get in touch with him before.


    ¡°Calvin, how is my father?¡±


    Calvin mused for a while, ¡°Minister Roberts, your father hasn¡¯t been well all along, so it''s a good thing


    that he¡¯s been weakened from this car ident!¡±


    Selena coughed hurriedly in order to stop his speech. Was he talking nonsense?


    Bobby Roberts was puzzled, ¡°How can this be a good thing?¡±


    Calvin looked at him with a stern face, ¡°Minister Roberts, if I''m not mistaken, your father is in a very


    poor state of health, and he¡¯s in his seventies. If I may say so, he would be gone in just a couple of


    years...¡±


    If it weren''t for Bobby Roberts, Selena would have put a plug in Calvin¡¯s mouth.


    He didn¡¯t take the minister seriously at all. Even if what he was saying was true, he shouldn¡¯t just say it


    straight in Bobby¡¯s face.


    Bobby just sighed, ¡°Well, you''re right. In fact, I took him to a lot of hospitals and the results were pretty


    much the same.¡±


    Bobby¡¯s eyes turned red and he said in a sad tone, ¡°When I was a little boy, and we were poor and I


    had so many siblings.

 Chapter 30 The Relationship Soured

    Chapter 30 The Rtionship Soured


    swnovels Calvin frowned, ¡°I was just concerned about you.¡±


    Hearing that, Rita got even angrier, ¡°What did you say? You¡¯re still concerned about me? What, you still


    have some energy left for me after caring for Selena? Thank you. I don¡¯t need you to concern about


    me. I don¡¯t care about it at all.¡±


    Calvin murmured, ¡°I wasn¡¯t seeing Selena.¡±


    ¡°Really? Can you swear to God that if you saw Selena today, you¡¯ll be condemned to hell?¡±


    Calvin didn¡¯t dare to do that. He did see Selena today but it was a totally different situation. A lot of


    things happened today and he had met a lot of people.


    ¡°What? You didn¡¯t dare to do that? Then back off!¡±


    Rita pushed him away and went upstairs.


    Seeing her running upstairs like that, Calvin thought for a while and followed her back to the house.


    In the living room, Carrie and Lewis were watching TV.


    ¡°Rita, what happened to you? I heard that you and Calvin seemed to be fighting? Did he do something


    to you again? I¡¯ll go and find him.¡±


    Rita hastily dragged her arm, ¡°Mom, it¡¯s not him. I was the one who was throwing a tantrum.¡±


    ¡°Why? Something¡¯s wrong about the clinic?¡±


    Rita sighed, ¡°It¡¯s not about the clinic. It¡¯s about Amanda.¡±


    ¡°The girl from the Cooper family? Did she bully you?¡±Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Rita briefly told her what happened but she left out the fact that Charlie wanted her to sleep with him for


    one night.


    Lewis took down his sses and said, ¡°How could she mess with the Bowen family? Those people are


    hard to deal with.¡±


    ¡°Dad, you know about the Bowen family?¡±


    ¡°Hmm, we¡¯ve met a couple times on business asions. Howard Bowen is a very aggressive person


    and a lot of people are afraid of him.¡±


    Rita sat next to Lewis and asked, ¡°Dad, do you have any solutions to help the Cooper family get


    through this difficult time? After all, I¡¯m partly responsible for what happened.¡±


    Carrie hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t take the fall for them, Rita. Amanda was the one who attacked him. How


    could this be your fault? It¡¯s not reasonable. We don¡¯t necessarily need to help them. It¡¯s hard to ask for


    a favor these days.¡±


    Lewis shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve only met Howard Bowen and he¡¯s not familiar to me at all. Of course he


    wouldn¡¯t help us. Also, Howard really loves his son Charlie and always spoils him. This won¡¯t be easy


    to fix.¡±


    Rita was disappointed. Was there truly no way out?


    Seeing her worried like that, Carries suddenly asked, ¡°Rita, have you ever mentioned it to that loser?¡±


    ¡°Calvin? How could he help with this kind of things?¡±


    ¡°Are you dumb? Of course he can help out now. He knows Selena Bentley from Bentley Group, doesn¡¯t


    he?¡±


    Before Rita could answer, Lewis snapped, ¡°You''re the dumb one. You already suspected Calvin of


    cheating on Rita with Selena, and now you want him to beg her? Aren''t you looking for trouble?¡±


    Carrie didn¡¯t think that was a good idea either. She muttered for a while, but said nothing more.


    Rita held her phone, feeling down. Selena was indeed the most likely person to help them.
