"Third Young Master, Morgan Family is in great danger, please come back..."
"Yes, Young Master Morgan, the entire family is counting on you to save them. The old patriarch said that if you come back, the position of family head will be yours!"
In front of Grant, there was a sleek black Rolls-Royce, with several old men standing at the door, their faces filled with pleading.
Grant, wearing flip-flops and carrying two large bags of groceries, looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly.
"Go back? Now you want me to come back?"
Grant snorted coldly.
The scene of being kicked out of the Morgan Family was unforgettable for him. Now that the family was in trouble, they came to beg him?
"Grant, why are you always dragging your feet? You went to buy groceries and it took you so long to come back?"
As soon as he got home, Grant saw his mother-in-law Lydia sitting on the sofa cracking sunflower seeds, her face full of impatience.
"Mom, I'm really sorry, I ran into some trouble on the way."
"Don't give me any excuses, what can a freeloader like you possibly have to deal with? Even if you were just taking a break on the way, can't you see what time it is? You want to starve us all to death! No wonder people say you're a good-for-nothing, you can't even handle such a small matter!" Lydia threw the seeds on the table to the ground and pointed her finger at Grant, cursing loudly.
"Go cook and clean the floor!"
"Yes, yes..."
Grant didn't say anything, just bowed his head and went back to the kitchen with the bags.
The James Family was a second-rate family in Jiangnan. Three years ago, Grant was brought back to the James Family in a coma and it was Christian who organized the wedding. This wedding caused a sensation throughout Jiangnan because the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, Daisy, had actually married a waste picked up by the James Family. It was a ridiculous farce that was well-known in the upper circles of Jiangnan.
However, only Christian knew Grant's true identity. He belonged to the top organization in Eastport Country and had almost died because he was betrayed. Christian knew that Grant's status in the James Family was not high, so he begged Grant to marry his daughter and secretly protect the Morgan Family for three years.
Grant agreed to repay Christian's kindness. However, after they got married, Grant and Daisy had no real relationship as husband and wife. They had not even touched each other's hands a few times. After Christian's death, Daisy's mother-in-law, Lydia, treated him coldly every day. As a son-in-law, he had no dignity.
Grant had long been accustomed to this treatment. Although he didn't like it, he silently endured Lydia's scolding. When Daisy returned home, she gave Grant a cold glance and walked back to her room alone. After taking a shower, she sat by the window in a bathrobe. The light above her head illuminated her smooth and delicate skin, and the dew on her shoulders was just beginning to form. However, at this moment, Daisy's face was filled with a faint sadness.
"Ah, it's really tiring to be alone," Daisy sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Visionary Company, Larson Family Group, they are all top-notch families that I can't afford to offend. Now, even DragonFire Company, which is so inferior, is bullying me. But I...I..."
Daisy's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't continue.
She thought of Grant, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen. Other people's husbands were elite executives in their companies. Even if they weren't the kind of people who had extraordinary abilities, they were at least strong and reliable men. But her husband was a complete loser who only knew how to do housework!
"Dinner's ready."
A familiar voice interrupted Daisy's thoughts. She turned around and saw Grant leaning against the door, not knowing how long he had been standing there!
"Why did you come in? Can't you knock?" Daisy immediately wiped away her tears, stood up with a cold face, and pointed her white and tender arm towards the door. "Now, get out!"
"Mom asked me to call you for dinner," Grant stepped forward, hesitated when he saw the tears in Daisy's eyes, and asked, "Are you having difficulties? Do you need my help?"
"Help? How can you help?" Daisy gave a faint smile, her eyes filled with sadness.
"If it weren't for my dad picking you up three years ago, you wouldn't even be qualified to stay here. We are from two different worlds."
"I'll say it again, get out now!"
It had been three years since Christian arranged their engagement, and it had tormented Daisy for three long years.
"Grant, I asked you to call Daisy for dinner. Why haven't you come down yet?" Hearing the voice, Lydia, Daisy's mother-in-law, walked up the stairs and saw the scene. She immediately got angry, "Why is my daughter crying? Did you bully her, you useless piece of trash? You eat and use what we provide, and now you dare to bite the hand that feeds you?!"
"I didn't..." Grant just started to speak.
"Bullshit! Look at other people's sons-in-law, they all drive luxury cars and live in villas. They are CEOs of companies. And here we are, still living in this rundown neighborhood. You even rely on Daisy to give you your salary!"
"What use are you?" Bang!
Lydia became angrier and angrier as she scolded, and she suddenly threw the tea cup on the table towards Grant. Grant slightly turned his head, and the glass cup immediately shattered against the wall.
"Hide? What's the point? Pick it up for me!" Yue Lin pointed at Grant and cursed loudly.
Grant didn't say much, he squatted down and slowly picked up the broken glass pieces in his palm.
Suddenly, he clenched his fist tightly, and the bright red blood seeped through his fingers. He looked up and saw Daisy's still red eyes. He felt aggrieved but helpless.
Lydia, his mother-in-law, was right. He had been humiliated since he married into the James Family, and how could Daisy, his wife, not be affected? Otherwise, he wouldn't be hiding in his room crying secretly.
He also felt guilty towards Daisy.
"Worthless! Even if you're scolded, you're still so pathetic. There are only two months left until that dead man's will is due. When the time comes, you two will divorce. Otherwise, the James Family will always suffer like this!" Yue Lin scolded.
"So, there are only two months left." Grant murmured to himself.
Before Christian died, he left a will in the bank to prevent his family from looking down on Grant and forcing him to divorce Daisy. The will stated that all the money in the bank account could only be withdrawn after Grant and Daisy had been married for three years. Now, there were only two months left until the three years were up.
"What are you mumbling about, you useless piece of trash!" Yue Lin continued to scold him.
"Mom, stop it. It wasn't Grant who did it just now." Daisy couldn't help but speak up.
"Whether he did it or not, this pathetic loser must leave our family!" Yue Lin shouted.
Grant walked back to his room and could still hear Yue Lin's scolding outside. He sat on the bed and sighed heavily, throwing the blood-stained glass pieces into the waste basket.
"James Family, I have been protecting them for three years, Uncle James... I owe you my life, and I have paid it back..."
He used to be a soldier king.
The god of the Dragon Group!
For Christian's request, he became a son-in-law in the family and served for three years.
"That's enough!"
Grant opened his eyes and slowly suppressed the anger in his chest.
Naturally, they didn't call Grant for dinner. After Lydia, his mother-in-law, finished eating, she dumped all the food into the trash can to prevent Grant from sneaking out to eat when he was hungry. Lydia wished he would starve to death.
Boom, boom, boom...
The car downstairs started, and the beautiful Porsche rushed out of the night, leaving a trail of taillights.
Grant stood at the window and could clearly see the determination on Daisy's face, her teeth clenched, as if she was heading to the battlefield.
"What happened?"
Grant's eyes flashed with suspicion.
He remembered Daisy crying secretly in the room before dinner. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. It was only two months away from leaving James Family, and he didn't want anything to happen during these two months.
"Hey, it's Grant. You wanted me to come back, right..."
Grant suddenly made a call. "I need to know Daisy's location within three minutes."
