The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Lily scowled. "Stop this bloody nonsense. The restaurant has nothing to do with you. Don't go hoping that I'll pay you even one penny! That painting belongs to the restaurant, if you don't hand it to us now, I'll have to call the cops and report you for theft!"

Jerome, who was standing next to Lily, scoffed as well. "Listen up, kid. I'd advise you to cooperate with u s. My connections within Aurous Hill are not something you would like to challenge now, is it? If you don't hand over the painting, I will just have to pay a visit to the public security bureau and they'd lock you up immediately! With what it's worth, you will be sentenced to at least ten years of jail-time!"

Douglas's tears poured down like rain, and he questioned Lily, "I've been nothing but good to you for the past few years, I gave you everything I had! It’s fine if you don't really love me, but why do you have to do this to me!?"

Lily let out a cold chuckle. "Love you? Who are you to expect such a thing? Listen up dumbass, I've never loved you! You don't deserve it! I would only fall for a man like Jerome darling, a man who actually deserves my love!"

Jerome smiled sarcastically. "I forgot to mention this a s well. We are very much capable of satisfying each other's needs in bed!"

Lily blushed. "Aww, come on, Jerome, why are you mentioning this? I'm so embarrassed...” 2

"Embarrassed?" Jerome chuckled. "Why don't we shut the doors and show this useless piece of trash how it's done? Show him how you usually satisfy me." 4

"Jerome darling, no! That would be so embarrassing!” Lily gushed.

Douglas couldn’t bear to watch the scene in front of him any longer and threw a pillow in their direction a s he yelled, "You maniacs! Get out!" 1

However, Jerome caught the pillow and scoffed. "I’m warning you, hand over the painting. Otherwise, I’m breaking your other leg and sending you to jail!" 2

Charlie, who was at the door listening in on everything that was said, immediately walked into the ward and yelled, "You dare to hurt my brother? Do you have a death wish?" 5

Jerome turned his head and looked Charlie dead in the eye. "Who are you?"

Lily replied, "He's Charlie Wade, the one who gifted the painting." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Jerome laughed out loud. "Ah, it's just the useless toyboy! You are indeed quite famous for that, you know? Everyone in Aurous Hill knows who you are!"

Jerome then stared at Charlie coldly. "I'll give you three seconds to get out of my sight. I’ll pretend you were never here, and I won't lay a finger on you." 1

Annoyed, Charlie scoffed. "Get out of your sight? Who d o you think you are?"

Jerome clenched his teeth. "Are you trying to challenge me, kid?" 1

Charlie replied in a cold tone. "I don't care who you are, but you've pissed me off today. I'll give you a second chance, though. Apologize to my brother this instant and let him break one of your legs as an apology for what you did to his leg. If you don't, you'll die the most painful death!" 6

Upon hearing this, Jerome began laughing like a maniac, his expression suddenly turning dark as he scowled. "What did you just say, punk? Me, Jerome, apologizing? Do you have a death wish?" 3

Chuckling, Lily also added, "Charlie, are you an idiot? Challenging my darling Jerome? Do you really want to die that badly?” 1

Charlie spoke coldly, "Keep your mouth shut, b*tch!" 2

"You..." Lily's blood boiled, and she turned to Jerome." Jerome darling, he just called me a b*tch! Have someone rip him into shreds!" 5

Jerome clenched his teeth once more. "Just you wait, you incompetent swine! I’ll have someone kill you this instant!" 3

Charlie smiled coldly upon hearing those words." Sure, but remember. If you fail to kill me, both you and this b*tch will have to pay a great price later on."
