chapter 1

In a simple and brightly lit room, Danny Graham held a brand new hammer in his hand, carefully placing it in the backpack before him. A cold glint appeared in his eyes. "It's been three years, so it's time to put an end to this! You guys owe me big time, and I'll make all of you pay!" Danny took a deep breath and muttered to himself. "Hurry up, Danny! My parents will be furious if you keep dawdling. I'll whoop your *ss by then! You're hopeless. How do you even manage to mess things up while packing a thing or two? How did a bombshell like me marry a loser like you?" In the living room, a woman's harsh voice sounded impatiently. He took a deep breath, picked up the bag, and slung it over his shoulder before leaving. Standing in the living room was a woman in a red dress, showing off her graceful figure. Her features were delicate, and her wavy hair revealed a hint of wildness. She was applying lipstick to her fiery red lips, nodding in satisfaction upon seeing the results. Meanwhile, her eyes were filled with arrogance. It was Caroline Jenner, Danny's wife, worked as a salesperson in a real estate company. "Alright, alright. I'm here." Danny walked over with the bag on his back, and there was a smile on his face. Caroline glanced at him, devoid of any affections. Instead, she was filled with disgust. "Let's go, dumb*ss. My parents are already waiting. They rarely invite you to dinner, so you'd better cherish this! When we arrive, remember to be tactful, and keep in mind what you should and shouldn't do. Don't embarrass me, got it?! Also, once Taylor is done with school, make sure your father drops him off. Get him to give us a call when he's downstairs. I don't want my family getting disgusted by him." "I will destroy this family of hyenas in due time!" Danny hollered deep down, seething with red eyes. Shortly after, Danny and Caroline got out of a taxi at Blooming Hills. Caroline ruffled her dress in disgust. Taxis are so dirty. Look, my clothes have been stained. Can he even afford to compensate me? Caroline raised an eyebrow and added, "Get me a car this year, Danny. Otherwise, I will divorce you! Those women at the office are always making fun of me. I can't afford to be a court jester, you know! The car has to be worth more than 200,000 bucks, understand?" 200,000! Danny's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and suppressed the burning anger in his heart. "You know our pharmacy hasn't been doing well. Besides, don't you earn a decent enough salary? Why can't you put a down payment on a car?" Caroline, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at Danny, her gaze gradually turning cold. "What does my salary have to do with you, Graham? Am I not supposed to treat myself to beauty products or shower my parents with gifts? My money belongs to me, whereas you have to support the family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married you." After speaking, she ignored Danny and walked away proudly in her high heels. As he watched Caroline's departing figure, Danny's patient expression disappeared from his face, and a fierce determination replaced it. "Divorce, huh? Today, your wish will come true!" On the fifth floor of Blooming Bay Apartments, Caroline's parents' home was spacious, bright, and tastefully decorated. They were considered a middle-class family with more than enough to live comfortably. After entering the house, Danny greeted his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and blond-haired brother-in-law with a smile on his face. However, all he received in return were cold glances. A touch of embarrassment and anger surged within Danny's heart once again. "Danny, I need you to chop the vegetables." "Who said you could sit there? That sofa's brand new, and it's pretty expensive. Are your bottoms dirt-free?" "Boil those lobsters, but not for too long. They're really expensive, so be sure not to mess them up. Bet you can't compensate for it if you f*ck these lobsters up!" "Caroline, what's wrong with your husband? Where are his manners? Look at his messy hair. Does he have any respect for our family?" These piercing words continued to echo in Danny's ears, constantly provoking his already strained state of mind. At noon, a variety of scrumptious dishes were laid out on the dining table, with a perfect balance of meat and vegetables. They even had seafood, and the aroma was tempting. "Fetch that bottle of red wine I bought abroad. With Danny finally joining us today, he deserves a taste. After all, where else would he get to taste this once he leaves our house?" Danny's father-in-law, Dave Jenner, waved his hand generously. Dave glanced at his wristwatch a few minutes later and furrowed his brows immediately. "What's the meaning of this, Danny? Where is my grandson, and why has he yet to arrive? It's already noon. Does punctuality mean nothing to your father? You guys are a hopeless bunch." Disdain filled Dave's eyes as he spoke. Boom! At that moment, Danny couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed the table and stood up, bellowing in a deep voice, "Watch your mouth, old man! You can insult me, but if you dare insult my parents, I'll beat you to a pulp!" A raging anger ignited within Danny's chest. Dave, his wife, Caroline, and Richard Jenner were stunned as they sat around the table. How dare the useless man slam the table and shout at them? What was this behavior?
