Lahat ng Kabanata ng Family First, Revenge Next: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

As Matthias and the rest entered the store, Olivia Winter, the store manager, greeted them with a warm smile.Caleb and Leona had encountered each other right outside the store, and Caleb was a regular customer.Olivia had been waiting for them to come in, knowing that Caleb's generous spending would likely boost her monthly sales."Mr. Hewitt, it's been a while! Is there a particular style you're interested in? We've just received some new arrivals. Would you like me to show you?"Olivia focused on Caleb and merely nodded politely at Matthias and his family. After all, Caleb was the real high-spender.From the snippets of conversation she had overheard, it was clear that Matthias and his family were just ordinary people. Furthermore, Olivia's disdain grew as she thought about how Matthias had never bought anything for Leona.They were probably married for a few years, considering their daughter's age.How could a man not provide for his wife?Caleb's expression turned scornful

After learning that Matthias was unemployed, Caleb completely disregarded him.His tone was arrogant. "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the Vice Chairman of Hewitt Enterprises. We have extensive interests in Havenwood—jewelry, real estate, shopping malls, you name it."If you're looking for a job, I can help you out. While executive positions might be tough, entry-level roles like security or cashier are not a problem. I can get you set up right away. You'd be looking at around 1,000 dollars a month."Caleb's voice was dripping with contempt, and he did not hide his disdain for Matthias.Caleb thought Leona must have been blind to end up with a loser like Matthias!Matthias smiled politely, not even sparing Caleb a glance."Thanks, but I'm not looking for work right now. I just want to focus on taking care of my family."As Matthias gently patted Danielle's head, Caleb's disgust grew.He was a man living off his wife and acting as if it were his right.However, Caleb's mood l

Caleb imagined that by showing off his wealth, he would boost his status in Leona's eyes and make Matthias look even more pathetic in comparison."Really? Caleb, thank you so much!" Jessica exclaimed, her face lighting up with joy.She went over to Caleb, giving him a warm hug as she glared at Leona.So what if Leona looked better in the dress? She could not afford it.Meanwhile, she was getting not only one but two dresses bought for her!Caleb smiled and casually tossed a card to Olivia, saying, "Ms. Winter, charge the dresses to my account. One black, one white, in my girlfriend's size.""Certainly, Mr. Hewitt!" Olivia replied with excitement.Ignoring Leona, she quickly took Caleb's card and prepared to process the payment.Matthias spoke up, pulling out his own card."Please wrap this dress for my wife as well."Alpha had prepared a card for him after they returned to New Avalboure. While he was unsure of the exact amount available in the card, he knew it would be substa

Matthias stopped and turned to face Caleb, calmly saying, "There are too many flies around. What? Do you think you're a fly?""Let's go, Matt," Leona said, pulling on Matthias' arm.She did not want Matthias to cause trouble.Caleb was furious.Matthias had provoked him!As the heir apparent and future chairman of Hewitt Enterprises, he could not tolerate being disrespected like that by a mere freeloader.He would not let that go!"Do you think you can just leave? Leona, do you really think you can walk away while your husband disrespects me?" Caleb's voice was cold."Caleb, that's enough. What do you want?" Leona asked, her brow furrowed.She shot Matthias with a frustrated look. He had caused too much trouble since returning.That was New Avalbourne—what if they crossed paths with someone important?Matthias needed to learn to hold back."What do I want? Simple. I want Matthias to kneel and apologize to me! Then you, Leona, will stay and have dinner with me tonight!" Cale

After Alpha had taken care of Danielle's school arrangements, he was about to look for Matthias when he happened to catch him just as he was heading home.Naturally, he offered them a ride."Yes! Yes! Yes!"Of course! I agree!"Matthias kept nodding, looking remorseful.Danielle looked up at Matthias with wide, curious eyes, gently touching his large hand.Then, she asked, "Daddy, did you go to deal with that bad man?""That bad man had his sights set on Mommy. I gave him a lesson, and he also apologized," Matthias explained to Danielle, kissing her on the cheek. "Dani, do you not like it when Daddy has to fight?"Danielle shook her head, wiping her face as if Matthias' kiss had left a bit of drool.She finally said, "I don't mind. As long as you're fighting bad people, I'll support you!"That bad man was scary, just like the bad people in St. Merilo. I was scared!"Matthias hugged Danielle tightly, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, sweetie. I'll protect you and Mommy from b
