Chapter 42

"Haha, don't worry mom. I mean what I said! Take this money for Selena's groceries and register Kylie

for school!” Fane said while laughing.

Fiona scoffed. "Hmph, as long as you’re aware of it!"

Before the cash was picked up, a young man unexpectedly walked in with a young girl who had a

tattoo on her arm.

They both seemed like they were about 18 or 19 years old.

The young man had blonde hair with an ear-piercing. I t was an ear stud.

"Wow, that’s a lot of cash!"

The young man ran over upon seeing the cash. He picked it up and said excitedly, "God, this is a lot!

There's some in the bag as well. There must be a million bucks here, right? I haven’t seen this much

money in a long time!"

"Who are you? Put it down!"

Seeing the young man's face angered Fane. He stared straight at the man and spoke coldly.

"You, who are you?"

The young man looked back at Fane and was so shocked by Fane's sharp gaze that he dropped the

cash he was holding onto.

"Fane, what are you getting angry about? Don’t you recognize Ben anymore?”

Fiona glared at Fane.

"Ben?”

Fane was stunned for a while before coming to a realization. "Oh, it's Ben, he was only 14 when I left.

He's so tall now and all grown up, I couldn't recognize him!"

"F*ck, here I was thinking who was this guy being this angry at me. You're the useless brother-in-law!"

Ben snapped out of it and continued, “I thought you were dead. Who knew that you would make it

back! For five years, you’ve put our family through sh*t!"

The young girl came over and stood next to Ben. She checked Fane out and said, "Ben, is this the

useless, live-in son-in-law who became one just to get a million bucks for his mother's medical costs,

then went to war the next day?”

Ben's eyes were filled with hostility. "Yes, it's this bastard who agreed to a sham marriage at first, but

took advantage of my sister on their wedding night seeing that she was a little drunk. He got my sister

pregnant. If it wasn't for this bastard, our family would not have been kicked out by Old Master Taylor.

We would still be staying in our mansion and living a good life!"novelbin

"So it was this bastard, how evil!"

The woman looked over at Fane in anger and said, "I can't believe you’re still shameless enough to

come back. If it wasn't for you, would we be staying in a place like this? If I was you, I'd rather die at

war than come back and embarrass myself!"

"Xena, who are you to say that? I was drunk that night but I knew for a fact that I made the first move. I

was angry at Grandpa for treating our marriage like a deal!"

"It was my fault. I was too naive, and I caused mom, dad, and my brother to live frugally with me for the

past five years. I'll try my best to make it up to them from now on but it has already happened and I've

taken responsibility for it. You can't blame Fane for this!"

Selena could not take it anymore after hearing what Xena said. She looked at her in the eye and said,

“No matter what, this is my family's business, You're nobody to butt in, are you?"

"Ben, look, look at your sister. She's saying that I’m a nobody. I've yet to marry you and she's already

this mean to me. When I marry you in the future, who knows how she’ll treat me then?"

Xena was pissed. She tugged on Ben's arm with her hands and threw a tantrum.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Xena is my girlfriend. Although she hasn't married me yet, it will

happen sooner or later. We'll be family in the future.

How could you say that to her?"
