The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back

PlayingVictim

This afternoon, the entire Huxley family gathered in the ballroom of the Majestic Hotel, a five-star hotel in the center of the Northern Coastal city. Only the bourgeoisie could afford to rent the ballroom.

This time, Mrs. Victoria Huxley, the number one woman in the Huxley family, was celebrating her 70th birthday there. Although not the richest in the Northern Coast, the Huxley family has a good relationship with city officials and other upper-class people. That's what made Victoria Huxley's birthday look so festive and attended by important people.

But now Victoria's beloved Chow Chow dog, Choco, looks uncomfortable and keeps walking around the old lady. Victoria, who always craves perfection, is undoubtedly uncomfortable with her dog's behavior this time.

"Hurry up and tell that useless son-in-law in the Huxley family to take my Choco for a walk. "He looks bored here!" Grandma exclaimed to Laura, standing next to Susan, the daughter of Desmond Huxley, Laura's father's brother.

Susan immediately glanced at Laura with a dismissive look and then said, "Oh, by the way-common, I haven't seen that man? Don't tell me he forgot that today is Grandma's birthday."

Laura just looked down, then slowly approached Grandma and said shyly, "Grandma, I'm sorry. Danny won't be here this time."

Old lady Huxley looked up and banged her cane hard. "What did you say? How could that loser not come to my birthday? Is there something more important to him than coming here?"

"What was your husband thinking, Laura? Grandma inviting him to the birthday party is an honor for a loser like him. "Who gave him the courage not to come and honor her?" exclaimed Matthew, Susan's older brother.

Michelle and her husband, Anthony Huxley, looked at each other, trying to figure out how to explain what was happening to Grandma.

"Michelle, Anthony, Laura, do you want to explain something?" Grandma asked once again.

Michelle slowly raised her head, took Grandma's hand, and said, "Mom, Danny can't come over right now because there's a problem with our little family."

"Aunt Michelle, what's the problem with Danny not coming to Grandma's birthday party? Look at my boyfriend, Evan Anderson. He's a young entrepreneur, and his company is growing fast despite the growing export demand. "But for Grandma's sake, he will leave his job." Susan shook out her blonde hair and glanced at Laura with a condescending look.

Susan was not as beautiful as Laura but had a more seductive body shape. The girl had always taken care of her appearance and diet because of her profession as a local model. She was also two years younger than Laura, so it was no wonder she had so many male fans. Coupled with her flirting skills, she could quickly get the man she wanted.

"You praise me too much, dear. Your grandmother is my grandmother too; she's my parent, and I should respect her," Evan said modestly.

"Ha ha, my future brother-in-law is great and always cares about the Huxley family, unlike that poor man with no self-respect," Matthew added.

Grandma nodded, "That's right. Susan is lucky to have a partner like Evan. Even though he's successful at a young age, he can still respect his elders. You should all know what Evan gave me for my birthday: a sapphire ring. "My future grandson-in-law didn't mention how much it cost, but I know it's nearly a hundred thousand dollars."

After saying this, she turned to Laura and squinted, "Your husband has no attitude. He eats, drinks, and sleeps for free at the Huxley family home. It wouldn't be outrageous to ask him to take my Choco for a walk, but he's just avoiding it."

"That's right, Grandmother. Asking her to care for your beloved Chow Chow dog isn't too much to ask. "It's just a small part of what she can do in return for living with the Huxley family," Matthew replied.

Grandma was beginning to be affected by Matthew's words. The middle-aged woman's breathing began to rise and fall, then looked at Laura with an intimidating gaze. "Laura, what's the matter that keeps that useless man from coming here?"

Laura looked down, not daring to meet Grandmother's eyes. She was wringing her fingers. Grandmother scolded her once again for an explanation. Laura looked up and said in a shaky voice, "Danny actually left home last night. He divorced me, and actually, today, he asked me to take care of our divorce."

"What? "That parasite has the nerve to divorce you?" asked Grandmother incredulously.

The birthday girl shook her head, "No... no. This can't be allowed. "You two can't divorce, or where else would the Huxley family be if word of this got out?" Grandmother snorted in annoyance and turned to Laura, "How dare he divorce you?"

Laura raised her face again, and her voice sounded even more shaky, "Actually, Danny has been cheating on me for a long time."

"Cheating on you? "Shame on you!" Grandma exclaimed, sounding annoyed. At that moment, all the Huxley family members looked at Laura with pity.

"It's true, Mom. Danny cheats on his wife and tarnishes our family name. Also, when he married Laura, his behavior was evil and rude. As a mother, I couldn't let this happen to my daughter. He is confident that he wants to divorce Laura because another woman is out there. "What a shame!" Michelle complained in Laura's defense.

"Huh, it seems Danny can't stand Laura's principle of wanting to keep her virginity until the feeling of love grows. "As a man, he must be looking for a woman to get laid," Matthew said, then turned to Laura still with a mocking look." Ha ha, you have to be careful; he might be looking for a woman in a brothel to sleep with!"

As they listened to Matthew, most of the Huxley family stifled their laughter except Evan. Cousin Laura's husband was smiling mysteriously as if he was planning something behind this event.

"Enough ... there's no point in discussing the ugliness of the live-in son-in-law. Because if we discuss it, it will take up the whole day. "I still have a lot of guests to greet!" Grandmother exclaimed.

The old woman turned to Matthew and began giving orders, "Matthew, I order you to bring that man here! I don't care what method you use! He has done a lot of wrongs, so he must receive punishment from the Huxley family!"

"Yes, Grandmother. "I'll use a bouncer to drag him here," Matthew said.

"That's right, Matthew, you must bring her here and bring her to her knees to beg for forgiveness from all of us. Cheating on and divorcing my daughter is an insult to the Huxley family. "He must pay with blood and tears!" exclaimed Anthony, who had been silent.

"You can rest easy, Uncle. "I'm sure he'll regret doing this to our family," said Matthew.

Matthew smiled triumphantly as he imagined Danny's reaction to being beaten and punished by the Huxley family.

'Ha ha... "I really can't wait to see you begging us for mercy. 'It must be so much fun,' thought Matthew, who had already disliked Danny's presence when the man first stepped foot in the Huxley residence.
