Chapter 935 Cutting Ties
“You come with me to the office first, then we can talk about these things,” Rhys said coldly, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the employees.
Titus quickly agreed and got up to follow, feeling very happy inside.
He knew that his son-in-law could not bear to ignore him.
This is such a great opportunity, so I have to ask for more no matter what. At least I need ten million first, and then go have some fun.
Upon entering the office, Titus quickly closed the door and looked at Rhys with a happy expression, eagerly saying, “Son-in-law, give me the money quickly. I have something to attend to later.”
Rhys remained silent and glanced at Jenna who was following behind.
With his silence, Titus immediately became anxious. He grabbed his hand and called out “son-in-law” several times in a row.
“I am your father-in-law. My fingers are almost gone now. How can you not take care of me?”
Jenna couldn’t stand it any longer, so she punched him hard with all her strength.
“Can you please stop talking? Can you not embarrass me?”
“Shut up!” Titus wanted money like crazy, pushed his daughter hard, and kept mumbling.
“What’s the use of having you? You’re just a waste of money. Even at your age, you don’t know how to show filial piety towards me.”
Rhys took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it onto the table.
Hearing the sound, Titus excitedly rushed over and was about to grab the bank card, but Rhys picked it up first.
“Son-in-law, hurry up and give it to me,” Titus urged with a smile on his face. He knew that the Williams family was a big cash cow.
Jenna looked at Rhys and shook her head firmly.
We can’t give him money, at least not easily giving him so much, otherwise he will go gambling again.
"I'll give you two options. The first is to quit gambling, find a job and slowly pay back the debt with Jenna. The Williams family won’t be involved in your debt anymore. The second option is to take the money and leave. Jenna has been sold by you and has no connection with you anymore.”
Titus hesitated immediately, not because he didn’t want to part with his daughter, but because he didn’t want to sever ties with the Williams family.
He looked at Jenna and made a decision, grabbing the bank card directly from Rhys’s hand. “I’ll leave her to you.”
With that, he didn’t even look at Jenna and happily walked out.novelbin
Jenna was angry and wanted to grab the bank card, but Rhys stopped her.
“Let him go. The money in the account is enough for him to pay off his debts. As long as he works hard and lives a stable life, everything will be okay.”
“But he can’t control himself! He’s been gambling every time he has money for so many years. We can’t give it to him!” Jenna shook her head desperately with tears in her eyes.
She grabbed Rhys’ sleeve and shook it hard. “Call security and take back the bank card! I don’t have that much money to pay you back.”
Hearing this, Rhys couldn’t help but chuckle.
He suppressed his laughter and shook his head. “You don’t have to repay me this money. Consider it as your payment for acting with me. I’m usually busy with work, so please spend more time with my mother and tell her anything you want.”
From the beginning, he never intended for Jenna to repay him this amount of money.
Of course, he had ulterior motives too - divorce was impossible within a short period of time. If Jenna kept causing trouble all the time, it would only bring more problems!
“But this is too much,” Jenna still felt guilty about accepting such a large sum of money.
When she married into the family initially, she had received five million dollars from Mrs. Williams - how could she be worth so much now?
“It’s not too much considering my mother’s current situation,” replied Rhys calmly. “It’s highly likely that we won’t be able to get divorced within a few years either way. I only have two requirements for you: the first is to keep my mother happy, the second is not to cause any scandals or rumors around yourself. If you meet someone you like, you should let me know first.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Mrs. Williams was very traditional; otherwise, she wouldn’t have urged him on getting married or having children soon after marriage. If she saw any scandalous news, it would probably make her furious.
“Okay, I promise.” Jenna nodded obediently, and added, “Don’t worry, I won’t fall in love with anyone else.”
Although it sounded childish, she had closed herself off emotionally. She didn’t believe in men anymore, nor did she believe in love or marriage. Her parents’ marriage was chaotic, and since then, she vowed that she must earn good money and didn’t follow their footsteps. However, she still wanted to earn more to repay the Williams family.

That night, Jenna went home early, and made a pot of soup for Mrs. Williams.
“Jenna, you’re such an attentive child. Just leave these things to the servants. Your priority now is to give birth to a child for the Williams family and live a happy life with Rhys.”
Mrs. Williams looked at Jenna, urging her with a serious tone.
She had heart disease and didn’t know how long she could live. Maybe one day she would have a heart attack and suddenly kicked the bucket.
Her only wish was to see her son living a good life.
“I understand, I’ll do my best,” Jenna reluctantly agreed.
Originally, Mrs. Williams was the only sponsor for Jenna.
Now that Rhys’ father had become another sponsor, Jenna found herself caught in the middle of their demands.
“It’s not just about doing your best, it’s your duty, Jenna,” Mrs. Williams said with a gentle tone but an unwavering attitude.
During dinner time, Mrs. Williams handed Rhys two invitations. “There will be an auction in a few days. You should bring Jenna along and bid on whatever catches your eye; I’ll reimburse you.”
“I’m not going,” Rhys replied as he continued eating without even taking the invitation from his mother’s hand.
There would be many reporters at the auction who would jump at any chance to create gossip about him and his relationship with Jenna.
“If you don’t go, then consider it running errands for me instead; there’s an item I really like - three jade bracelets - could you help me get them?” Mrs. Williams changed her usual commanding tone into a more cooperative one this time around.
Rhys felt uncomfortable seeing his mother act so differently than usual.
He looked at his mother but before he could say anything else he saw Mrs. Williams clutching onto her chest in pain.
“Mrs. Williams, are you okay? Is it your heart acting up again? Take some medicine quickly and drink some warm water so that you don’t choke.” The servant quickly brought over some medicine while patting on Mrs. Williams’ chest to ease the pain. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
After taking the medicine down slowly did she finally start feeling better again.
She waved off everyone’s concern. “I’m fine now. If it weren’t for my health issues, then I wouldn’t need anyone else’s help when buying things!”
“Mom, it’s just three bracelets right? Let me help you get them back home. You just rest well at home,” Rhys promised, hoping that this would make breathing easier for his mom.
