Hitting the Jackpot Without You Two Chapter 9
Shawn's eyes were bloodshot as he roared at Joseph, "That woman standing next to you slept with us brothers for over a decade! She's used and ruined! And now the golden boy of the Blackwell family is marrying a used good? What a joke!"I turned to Joseph nervously and asked softly, "Do you believe him?He was quiet for a moment before pulling me into his arms. "I'm only afraid that you'll be hurt."Then, with a calm wave, he signaled the bodyguards to take care of the Langston brothers.Fists slammed into their guts, and they collapsed to the ground, howling for mercy.They could only act like tyrants in front of a sickly woman like me.In comparison, Joseph, who was standing beside me, held power over all of Nautilis, yet he remained humble and respectful, never needing to assert dominance over the weak to feel important.He lightly rested his arm around my waist as we walked out.He lowered his head and asked gently, "Did you finish the last round of medicine? I can have the

I smoothed out the wrinkles in my gown caused by their interruption and said slowly, "You had too many women you wanted to marry. Joseph only chose me."Ever since Dad returned to Nautilis, the Blackwell family had extended an olive branch to him.At the time, I was still tangled up with the Langston brothers, so I rejected that offer without a second thought.But the news that the Blackwell family's heir wanted to marry me seemed to set off something.Suddenly, every family in Nautilis was scrambling to marry their eligible daughters into the Blackwell family.Many of those young women were better than me in every way.Strangely enough, the Blackwell family turned down every single one of them.Then, when I finally said yes, they accepted without hesitation.I didn't bother to ask why.From beginning to end, Joseph only ever chose me, unlike the Langston brothers, who wanted to build a home for every pretty woman they met.Shawn sneered, stepping right up to me."And yet yo

Afraid that I might suffer after marrying into the Blackwell family, Dad offered up nearly half his wealth as my wedding gift, only for the Blackwell family to give me nearly three times the amount as gifts.Everyone in the Blackwell family showed me nothing but respect and warmth.I had thought that leaving the Langston family would leave me unsettled, maybe even aching with regret over the past.But slowly, all those memories—both joyful and painful—had been replaced by this new life. Now, even when I remembered them, it felt like someone else's story, no longer bothering me in the slightest.On the day I went to try on my wedding gown, I received a call from Mr. Langston Senior."Yvonne, we heard you're getting married. Is it true? My grandsons nearly lost their minds when they found out. They're just… They still feel guilty, you know. You—"Before he could finish, I spotted two familiar figures outside the shop's window.Our eyes met.Their faces were dark as they stared

I looked at the marriage certificate and the massive diamond ring on my finger, then proceeded to block both the Langston brothers' numbers without hesitation.I posted a picture online with the caption, "Goodbye to the past. Officially married to a new start."Dad brought me a bowl of foul-smelling medicine, the kind that reeked of bitterness. Ever since I was discharged, he had been adamant that I take better care of my health."How did you let yourself end up like this? Thankfully, the Blackwells really like you. The wedding can be postponed, but your health is yours alone…"I said nothing and downed the medicine in one go.How could I even begin to explain all that happened with the Langston family? Telling him would only add to his pain.Without hope, there wouldn't be any despair.However, if someone gave you hope—only to snatch it away…Then the despair would be felt all the more strongly.I forced a smile through the lingering bitterness on my tongue."I know. I won't

"You look terrible. I've always seen you as my granddaughter-in-law, but now you're going to marry into the Blackwell family. I just can't bear it!"I quickly reached out and held Mr. Langston Senior's hands. "Mr. Langston Senior, I'm sorry. This is all my fault."He let out a long sigh, his cloudy eyes filled with pain and heartbreak. "It's those two scoundrels' fault! No matter what happens from now on, I’ll see you as my granddaughter!"I sniffled and nodded quickly, trying my best not to cry. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a card, placing it gently on the table."Thank you for everything you've done for me all these years. The rest… I'll repay them someday."Mr. Langston Senior instantly flared up, slamming his cane hard against the floor."Scoundrels! Those little punks must've said something to you! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"He stood up shakily and shoved the card right back into my hands.Finally, I couldn't hold back the tears any longer.Ov

Shawn roared, "You still haven't apologized to Queenie! If you don't, don't expect to have a single peaceful day in Nautilis!"The look in his eyes was vicious—like he wanted to tear me apart. He was nothing like the boy who once made silly faces to cheer me up.But I'd always know who they really were.Nigel, the older brother, always had the polished charm of a gentleman—warm on the surface but ruthless underneath.Shawn, the younger brother, came off like a spoiled playboy, but in truth, he was just as cruel.Never in my life did I think they'd use those very tactics against me."I did nothing wrong. If you want to come after me, go ahead."I had nothing left to fear.They didn't need to chase me away. I would stay far away from them on my own. And as for the peaceful days he mentioned? I never had any to begin with.Shawn blocked my path.Nigel, meanwhile, descended the stairs. Seemingly out of guilt, his tone softened."Forget it. Yvonne got a kick to the stomach. She's
