When I stayed silent, Cameron Mitchell only grew bolder."I don't know how your parents raised you. The way you treat your elders is downright disrespectful and unfilial!"His words were laughable.Back when he looked down on my family, he wouldn't even offer my parents a cup of hot tea when he came to visit. All he did was order them around and make them do things for him.Later, when my cousin Parker Mitchell started dating a woman from the city, he treated us like poor relatives and stopped associating with us altogether.Now that he needed my help, he still had the same arrogant attitude.Did he really think my family was made of mud, that he could trample us however he pleased?"So you think I'm disrespecting my elders, Uncle Cam?" I asked evenly. "Then have you shown any respect to my parents?"Since you walked through the door, all you've done is order my parents around. You couldn't even treat them with basic respect."You started by accusing my parents of failing to r

My chest heaved with rage. I could no longer contain the fury burning inside me.But before I could break free of my mom's grip, I heard a heavy thud behind me.My dad had collapsed."Dad!" I scrambled to catch him and help him up. "Dad, what's wrong?"He clutched his chest, his face frighteningly pale."Oh no! He's had an attack from getting so worked up! Quick! Call 911!"After shouting, my mom frantically rushed to find the landline, only to discover that it had already been smashed to pieces.It was as if someone drowning had just lost the last thing keeping them afloat. She sank to the floor, her whole body trembling as though she might collapse at any moment."Mom!"I was holding my dad and couldn't leave him, so all I could do was glare at the two men responsible, my eyes bloodshot as I screamed, "Help him! Call 911!"Parker flinched at my roar and hurriedly fumbled in his pocket for his phone.But just as he unlocked it, Cameron stopped him. "Are you an idiot? Your u

What stood before everyone was a rectangular, box-shaped building.The walls were absurdly thick. The windows were positioned two meters above the ground, and a steel framework supported an exceptionally high roof. There were no interior partitions at all. It was a textbook industrial factory building.The smile on Cameron's face froze completely. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Adrian... Th-this is the villa you designed? How the hell is anyone supposed to live here?"Parker looked as if he'd been struck by lightning. He whipped around and roared at me, "Adrian! You son of a bitch! Are you screwing around with me? Where's my marital house? What monstrosity did you build for me?"He brandished his fists and charged toward me, but several burly workers standing behind me immediately grabbed him and pinned him down.I calmly pulled the contract out of my bag and looked at him coldly. "Parker, I told you from the beginning that I specialize in industrial architecture."This buildi

Parker's hands trembled as he swiped to answer the call, accidentally putting it on speakerphone."Parker! You son of a bitch! How dare you make fools of our entire family!" Tessa's father roared furiously through the phone."Sir... please, just let me explain. It's not what you think. Someone set me up..." Parker immediately wilted. He repeatedly bowed toward the phone, his voice trembling on the verge of tears."Explain, my ass! I've seen the video. You told me that was a $500,000 minimalist villa? It's obviously a chemical plant workshop! You're a liar, and you're already saddled with over $200,000 in corporate debt!"Did you plan to trick my daughter into marrying you so you could use the Bennett family's money to clean up your mess?!""No! Sir, I swear that's not what I meant! I truly love Tessa..."Seeing his son apologizing like a whipped dog, Cameron snatched the phone from him and started cursing at the screen. "What the hell are you yelling for? Think you're something s

After the court hearing, Cameron tried to manipulate my dad again, appealing to their family ties in the hope that he'd persuade me to forgive the debt.But ever since recovering and leaving the hospital, my dad had learned to say no.When faced with his younger brother who'd bullied him for decades, he finally stood his ground and gave Cameron a tongue-lashing that left him thoroughly humiliated.On top of that, I'd hired two hulking six-foot-three caregivers to look after my parents. Cameron and Parker couldn't even get close to them.Before trying to throw their weight around, they now had to think twice about whether they could take on those two men.As the fifteen-day deadline drew closer, they had no choice but to try to sell the property to pay off the debt.But who would pay over $200,000 dollars for a so-called "bunker" in the village that didn't even have proper windows?They contacted real estate agents, put up advertisements, and even tried livestreaming the property
