Chapter 1: Such a Loser
"We won’t give you money. Juts let that trash replace Axel Hunt to go to jail."
"Yes, not only is there no trash in our family anymore, but also we don’t have to lose one million. It
makes the best of both worlds."
"What did you say? Is the trash not a human being? You ask him to plead guilty. Has Katherine Hunt
agreed? Such a trash in our eyes is her good husband."
In the Hunt Old House in J City.
Everyone in the hall sneered and talked about a handsome young man.
"We have raised a dog for three years. Now, it’s the time for him to help us solve problems."
"What are you talking about? Did dogs offend you? Why do you insult dogs like that?"
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed.
Facing everyone's contempt, Charlie Lloyd clenched his fists so tightly.
Three years ago, he fled to J City. By chance, he got married with Katherine and lived with Katherine's
parents, which was a sensation in J City.
However, it was not him who was being gossiped, but Katherine. A famous beauty in J City got married
with such a wimp.
This incident became a joke in celebrity circles. Charlie also was laughed at as a useless wimp by
everyone in J City.
In the past three years, he had suffered humiliation and lived worse than a dog.
Of course, Katherine had to bear more than him.
She married such a wimp. Charlie knew there were many people satirizing her, even the relatives of the
Hunt Family.
But even with all kinds of ridicule from others or her family, Katherine never vent her anger on Charlie.
The relationship between them was just so-so. They just respected each other.
Recently, Charlie's father-in-law, Axel, hit a person with his car. It would take a million to handle the
matter. If they didn't give the money within three days, the dead's families would send Axel to jail.
Today was the last day.
"Grandma, my Dad is your son. Please help him." Charlie pleaded again.
"What qualifications do you have to speak here? Besides, didn't I give you advice just now? Anyway,
you are nothing. Replace him to plead guilty. Everyone is happy."
The man who was speaking was a handsome young man named Ewan Hunt, the eldest grandson of
the Hunt Family.
"Ewan, you've gone too far."
Katherine couldn't bear that Charlie was humiliated like that anymore. After all, Charlie was her
husband.
"Have I gone too far? Ridiculous!"
Ewan's eyebrows were sharp. He shouted loudly, "Why does our family have to be responsible for
Axel's troubles? the Hunt Family is just a small family. One million is not a small amount for the family!"
"Axel could only blame himself. He killed the person. He deserved to go to jail." Someone said.
Katherine hurriedly explained, "That's not the case. That old man got cancer. He didn't have much time
left, so he deliberately rushed to my Dad’s car in order to cheat money. This is not my Dad’s faults at
all. It’s just my Dad is unlucky!"
"Oh, why did the unfortunate thing just happen to him? Why did such unlucky things not happen to
others?"
"Her family are all idiots. The son-in-law is a jerk, and father-in-law is a fool."
"Our family can't pay this money!"
Listening to the ruthless irony of the relatives, Katherine was angry and desperate.
Today was Old Lady Hunt's 70th birthday, so everyone in the Hunt Family had arrived. Katherine's
family wanted to take this opportunity to beg Old Lady Hunt to give them one million. They thought that
relatives would help them.
But they never expected that this would be the situation.
So cold-blooded.
"Your family didn't make much contribution to the Hunt Family, but instead let the Hunt Family give
money to you. How can this happen? Besides, today is Mom's birthday. But your family come here to
ruin the birthday party. How ungrateful you are! What’s worse, you dare to ask for money!"
A middle-aged man spoke.
He was the eldest son of Old Lady Hunt, Ewan's father, Lewis Hunt. He was pointing at the gate,
showing no mercy, "Get out of here. Don't embarrass yourselves here."
"Uncle, my Dad is your brother. How can you be like this?"
"Huh, he should be punished if he did something wrong. There is nothing to say. The family rules are
strict. No one can break the rules." Lewis did not show any mercy at all.
The relatives were so ruthless. Katherine felt desperate.
Spencer Lau, who hadn't spoken all the time, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
Looking at indifferent Old Lady Hunt who sat on the main seat, she cried out, "Mom, please help Axel.
Just borrow us one million. We will pay it back."
"Yeah, Grandma, I don't take my salary anymore. I can work for the company for free."
Katherine also cried.
"Don’t be kidding. Your salary is only a few thousand yuan a month. When can you pay back one
million? It would be better to use the one million to invest, wouldn’t it?"
Ewan teased. As the eldest grandson of the Hunt Family, he always disliked Katherine.
Now there was the best chance. He would definitely take the good chance to tease Katherine.
"Your family always bring bad luck to the Hunt Family."
"Three years ago, you married this wimp and then the Hunt Family has been laughed at by everyone in
J City. Now, your father made such a big mistake. But your family still wants to get money from the
Hunt Family. You wish!"
"Besides, I don't think you come here for asking for help."
Ewan's eyes fell on Charlie. He said, "Look at the eldest son-in-law in the Hunt Family, who has not
spoken all the time. How arrogant he is! That expression on his face is so cold. See, how sharp the
look in his eyes is! It seems that he looks down on us."
Hearing that, everyone looked at Charlie.
"Have you said enough?" Charlie said indifferently.
"I haven't said enough. Since you don't want to replace Axel to plead guilty, it's okay. I can give you a
chance."
A sly look flashed in Ewan's eyes. He squinted and said, "As long as you kneel down and call me father
three times, I will consider lending your family one million. What do you think?"
Wow!
Everyone was shocked.
The young generation of the Hunt Family secretly admired Ewan. Old Lady Hunt was here, but Ewan
still dared to be so bold. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
But when they thought of Old Lady Hunt's spoiling to Ewan, they all figured out.
"Since we are family, I don't want to be too unrelenting. But I can't just give you money without getting
nothing return. As the saying goes, financial matters should be settled clearly between brothers. This
opportunity is very rare. It depends on what you choose!"
Charlie was furious and stared at Ewan angrily.
"Wow, why are you staring at me? Are you going to eat up me?"
Ewan pretended to be afraid, patted his chest and squinted his eyes. He said, "Aunt Spencer, don't
blame me for not giving you a chance. You good son-in-law seems unwilling. I can't help you. Sorry!"
Finally, there was a glimmer of hope, but it just shattered like this.
Spencer was anxious and angry. She shouted sharply, "Charlie, kneel down!"
"Mom, I..."
"You such a wimp. What dignity do you keep? Quickly kneel down and do what Ewan said."
Seeing that Charlie didn't move, Spencer rushed over and gave Charlie a slap.
Slap.
The sound was crisp and loud.
Everyone in the Hunt Family watched them with interests. They were whispering and mocking
Katherine's family from time to time.
Charlie's face turned red immediately.
Katherine wanted to speak but finally she didn't say anything, just biting her pale lips.
"Our family has raised you for three years. Now it's time for you to repay our family. What are you
doing? Hurry up and kneel down."
Spencer pressed Charlie's shoulder.
"Kneel down!"
"You are already good-for-nothing in everyone's eyes. So nothing could be worse than it. Kneel down!"
Spencer kicked Charlie's knee fiercely, causing Charlie to stagger.
"Mom, don't do that."
Katherine couldn't stand it anymore. After all, Charlie was her husband.
Being insulted and beaten by his mother-in-law in front of everyone, Charlie felt a little sad.
"Go away. You dare to protect this trash? Go aside, or I will hit you together."
In the hall, the mother and daughter yanked each other.
The relatives laughed, as if watching a clown performance.
At this moment, Ewan's playful voice sounded, "Oh, Aunt Spencer. I'm so sorry. Time’s up."
"Ah? Ewan, please give me some more time. I'll let him kneel down immediately."
"Auntie, it's not that I don't help you. There is only one chance. Sorry. Your son-in-law is so stubborn.
Maybe he wants to take revenge on your family deliberately. Maybe he wishes Uncle Axel go to jail!"
Spencer was dumbfounded.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered. Her entire face became distorted.
"Son of bitch."
With another slap, five red finger marks appeared on Charlie's face.
Even so, he said nothing.
"Look, how coward he is!"
"Hey, he doesn’t deserve to be a man. How can there be such a worthless trash?"
"A dog will bite back if it is beaten. He is not as good as a dog."
Relatives were mocking Charlie.
They were eating melon seeds and drinking tea. There was no family affection at all.
No one knew that Charlie clenched his fists so much that his nails deeply pierced through his skin.
"It's been three years. Even if I raised a dog, it would know to repay me. But what about you? Such a
wimp. You are wasting food and wasting air. Why don’t you go to die?"
Spencer was crying with tears.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, Old Lady Hunt, who hadn't spoken all the time, suddenly said in a deep voice. Her sharp
eyes swept across everyone.
The hall was instantly quiet.
Old Lady Hunt who was in charge of the Hunt Family had absolute power. Everyone in the Hunt Family
would be subservient to her.
"Mom, Axel is also your son. You can't be so unfeeling. Please help him. I can kneel down."
"Get out."
The crutch in the old lady's hand was knocked on the ground. Two words popping out of her mouth
were just like two sharp knives to insert into Spencer's heart.
Katherine's face turned pale. She faltered, but finally was held by Charlie.
"Grandma let you get out. What are you doing here?"
"Get out quickly. Don't be an eyesore!"
"Today is Grandma's birthday. But it was ruined by three flies. It’s Grandma’s kindness that she didn't
punish you three. Get out of here!"
The relatives didn't look kindly. The two women pushed and shoved Katherine's family, driving
Katherine's family out of the Hunt Old House.
On the street.
Katherine wiped off her tears to pretend to be calm, and comforted Spencer, "Mom, don't worry. There
is still time. There will be a way."
"It's all his faults. Such a bastard."
Spencer grabbed Charlie's clothes abruptly, and shouted resentfully, "Say, did you intentionally want
my husband to go to jail? You bastard. If my husband is in jail, I won't let you go!"
"Mom, calm down. This has nothing to do with Charlie. It's obvious that Ewan wants to fool around us.
Even if Charlie kneels down, he won't give us money."
Katherine was wise. She had already seen through the truth.
Spencer seemed to be drained of all strength. She was crying desperately on the ground.
"Mom, get up. The ground is dirty."
Charlie stretched out his hand to help Spencer up, but was slapped away by Spencer.
"There were a lot of rich kids who pursued my daughter back then. If my daughter married one of them,
our family would not be like now."
"It's all caused by you. Get out of my face!"
Charlie was silent, watching Spencer take his wife away, feeling bitter.
...
Back to the community.
He did not enter the house, but just sat on the steps and lit a cigarette.
There was a quarrel in the room.
"Divorce. Go to divorce that trash now! A useless, worthless wimp. We have raised him for three years.
But he is so ungrateful."
"Mom, Charlie is not useless!"
"He really doesn't have a job, but he has done housework for three years and kept the house in order.
He has worked hard for three years but he has never a complaint!"
"We are family. Even if we have lived with a dog together for three years, we will have feelings, let
alone a diligent human being."
"Bad girl, is the wimp important or your father important? Fine. You won't get divorced with him? Then
let him replace your father to plead guilty as Ewan said! Let him replace your father to go to jail!"
Gradually, there was no sound in the room.
Charlie threw the cigarette butt away, took a deep breath and then looked at the sky. His muddy eyes
became extremely clear and sharp for the first time.
He walked into the house and came to the bedroom.
Seeing Katherine crying under the quilt, he felt sorry for her. Then he said lightly, "I'm sorry. I've made
you wronged."
Katherine sat up and looked at Charlie, shaking her head, "No, this is not your faults."
"I just don't understand why Grandma doesn't save Dad and why relatives aim to our family. Why our
family is in a lot of disasters? Did we do something wrong?"
"No, we did nothing wrong."
"Then why life doesn't treat us well? I don't want my father to go to jail. The days are hard enough. I
can’t lose my father."
Katherine was in tears, and the clothes on her chest were already wetted.
Charlie felt so sorry and wiped the tears on her face off. His eyes were gentler than ever, "Katherine,
tell me, do you really want to change everything? Even in the future, you may have to face danger."
"Yes!"
"I can’t predict the future. Now I just want to save my father. I want to be respected by everyone. I don't
want to be looked down upon. I want to make those who trample on us regret it!"
"Great!"
Charlie smiled firmly, turned around and went out.
Then, he dialed the number that had been sealed for many years.
A few seconds later, a voice full of excitement and vicissitudes sounded from the other end of the
phone.
"Master, you finally contacted me."
The old man seemed to be crying as if a child. He said with a trembling voice and choking, "Master, I
have been waiting for this call for ten years."
