"Elio, come here and pour away this dirty water!" A beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure was sitting on the sofa. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. She had just finished soaking her feet and was applying lotion on her fair thighs. She was Elio Rinz's wife, Evelyn Jones.Elio, who had just finished washing the dishes in the kitchen, hurried out. He wiped his hands on his apron and carried away his wife's dirty water. He did not dare to slacken for even an instant. After all, as a live-in son-in-law, he was used to being ordered around by his in-laws.Right now, Evelyn looked like a mermaid who had just emerged from a spring. Elio gulped and asked, "Honey, we've been married for three years now. When are we going to try for a child?"Evelyn turned to look at him. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was cold. There was a sense of distance about her that kept others at bay. "Are you high or something? How dare you ask such a thing?"Her cold gaze made Elio panic. H

Garuda Estate was decorated like a modern-day royal palace. The huge mural in the main hall was that of a colorful phoenix spreading its wings and flying high amidst the flames. It was the perfect embodiment of revival and strength.In the conference room on the fifth floor, many big shots had gathered dressed in their Sunday best. Elio was the only one wearing a cheap T-shirt and faded jeans. He looked a little out of place, almost proud in his own unique way.He was quite famous in Cloudsea City. After all, he spent all day doing nothing and lounging around, but he still managed to marry Evelyn Jones, the woman of many men's dreams. She was the general manager of Skybound Advertising, and she was as beautiful as she was intelligent. Just like that, he lived off her coattails for three whole years.Their wedding three years ago caused a huge stir, and countless young talents lamented Evelyn's fate. They all remembered Elio, the useless live-in son-in-law, and felt that Evelyn was c

Elio was already used to being the target of ridicule. He shamelessly sat down beside his wife and stole a glance at her.Evelyn was furious right now. She glanced at her so-called husband in disgust and embarrassment, snapping, "Why did you come dressed like that? Everyone else is in their Sunday best! Look at you."Elio said softly, "But I don't even have a decent suit. Your mother only gives me 200 dollars a month to buy groceries. How can I afford any fancy clothes?"That was true, and Evelyn knew it. Elio had been a full-time housemaid ever since he married into the family. When was the last time he bought new clothes? She racked her brain until suddenly remembered. "Where's the suit you were wearing when we got married back then?""Did you forget? We rented it from the photo studio. We had to return it after the wedding," Elio replied helplessly."Pfft…" The guests at the table next to theirs burst out laughing. "What a riot! That poor son-in-law, even his wedding suit was a

James was furious when Elio ruined his expensive suit. These rich young heirs were usually spoiled and domineering, and he was no exception. He cursed, his expression livid as he swung his fist at Elio's face, "You motherf—" However, before James' hand could even make contact, Elio let out a scream and fell back, knocking over the contents of the neighboring table. He quickly recovered before any of the food landed on him, but the guests who had been mocking him were not as lucky. They were completely covered in food scraps and spilled water."What the hell?! These clothes are brand new!""Ahh, I shouldn't have come today. I'm all filthy now…"The guests cursed and wailed, making a complete mess of the wedding banquet.Elio's in-laws all leaped to their feet, stunned. Their useless son-in-law had ruined the wedding!Lana’s face turned red. "He's a curse, I tell you, a curse! Nothing good ever happens when he's involved. We shouldn't have let him come here and embarrass himself!"

A pin-drop silence fell across the entire hall!Everyone was surprised. They could tell that Evelyn and her family were fed up with Elio, so they thought the divorce was a foregone conclusion. Evelyn could have used this opportunity to get rid of him. Once she was single and available again, she would be able to find any man she wanted, given her qualifications. Why would she give up the chance?Yvonne's red lips curled into a cold smile. 'She's a proud woman,' Yvonne thought to herself. 'She won't lower her head that easily. I'm impressed. Still, is your husband really as useless as everyone says? I don't think so. Perhaps your entire family has misjudged him. Ha, what a pity!'Meanwhile, Elio's fists relaxed. Whatever her motive, it was enough that Evelyn did not abandon him in public. He made an oath to himself, secretly swearing, 'As long as you don't leave me, I won't abandon you!'Evelyn was proud, but she was also filled with resentment.Back then, it was her family who had
