Underestimated Son In Law

Chapter 17

Confrontation Young Master Marco, threats fell on deaf ears as Sett passed by him.

Sett was now standing in front of the silent Sheila, who was coldly looking at him.Sett could hardly believe that his wife would have such a chilling gaze.

Sett couldn't give up just yet! Who didn't know what kind of reputation the young master Marco of the Rotherford family had? Without breaking eye contact with his wife, Sett parted his dried lips.

"My wife...I know you hate my guts.Yes, I'm a fat coward, a worthless piece of sh*t who can't even stand in front of his inlaws and protect the woman I love...Regardless, that's all from the past.

At this point, Sett took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but as soon as he caught a glimpse of young master Marco, who was the reason his wife wanted to divorce him, his emotions start to flood out.

"Sheila, you know that I always put you on a higher pedestal and treated you like a queen, and it's alright if we have a fight, as every relationship is messed up.It will only be perfect if you'll still be there when things turn ugly....But this: you want us to divorce because of this ravenous tiger of a person? This b*stard had no qualms about f*cking b*tches on a daily basis.If you're going to divorce me, Sheila Laurel, how will I protect you?" Sett said, word by word.

Sett then looked intently at the young master, Marco, who was currently glaring dangerously at him on the sideline.

"Sheila, you can't reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth...I will fulfill my duty as your husband, Sheila.So, I refuse to sign the papers."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

The guests from the other family were taken aback by Sett's speech, especially the members of the Crossword family.

They simply couldn't believe that Sett could speak like that.

They always thought that the useless son-in-law had that side of him.

The mannerisms in the way he delivered his speech were admirable.

On the other hand, Sett noticed his wife Sheila's slight trembling shoulder and the wavering look in her eyes, which she tried to hide.

There was no mistake about it; his hunch was correct all along...

"Sheila, if you're being forced to marry this assh*le of the Rotherford family, then I will not agree! Even if it's the last thing I'll do! Please, Sheila, tell me the truth and only the truth!"

As aman, he would not allow anyone to bully his wife, Sheila, as his woman.

"This is so funny.Your name is Sett, right? Your wife has already decided to divorce you.You are like a sinking ship trying to stay afloat.How vain....Sheila will be my fiance, as she no longer sees you as her husband.After all, you're a useless bum that can't provide for her needs.Tsk, tsk."

The young master, Marco, spoke in a taunting manner.

Upon hearing that, the guests nodded in agreement.

Everyone understood that a good-for-nothing husband would just drag his wife down to the pit.

Some of the guests came from third-rate aristocratic families, so they did not fear shouting their opinions in the open.Moreover, their words were meant to flatter the young Master Marco.

"Young Master Marco is right; you don't deserve Ms.Laurel's affection."

"Young man, just give up.You can just find another woman who deserves you."

One after another, their words pressed Sett to give up.

Seeing this young master, Marco smirked.

"Do you hear what everyone is saying-""

Young Master Marco's words were cut short as Sett spoke.

"When I, her husband, am talking with my wife, an outsider dog like you has no right to bat in."

Sett calmly said, stunning the young master, Marco.

"W-What did you say? Did you just call me a dog?"

The young master, Marco, was trembling in anger.

Nobody dared insult him, yet he was being called a dog by somebody.

On the other hand, the Crossword family members were starting to worry, while giving Sett a hateful look They couldn't afford to offend the Rotherford family, and now this idiot was doing exactly that!

"What grandiose words, coming from someone like you.Dumb Swine, calling the young master Marco a "dog."Do you even know how strong the Rotherford family is? Even the Laker family wouldn't dare offend them that easily...A Pig daring enough to challenge the authority of the Rotherford family? Heh, they can literally pinch you like an ant! And now you're threatening the young master of the Rotherford family and not giving him face? Should I call you stupid or what? Do you think the Crossword family would help you? Think again, Dumb Swine!"

Madam Claire spoke scornfully.

At the same time, the family head, Francisco, didn't stop her speaking.

The conflict had already escalated and the Crossword members were afraid that they would be affected by the young master Marco's wrath, so Aunt Claire had to draw a line so the family wouldn't be implicated.

The young master, Marco, couldn't help but smirk as he saw Sheila not speaking a word.

Not to mention the Crossword family's action in burning the bridge, which boosted his ego.

"Seeing that the Crossword family doesn't want you here and Sheila refuses to speak with you, I'll let you go now for insulting me, the young master of the Rotherford family.What are you waiting for? Scram!"

"Are you deaf or what? Young Master Marco is already polite enough to let you go, now disappear! The Crossword family doesn't welcome a failure like you!"

"Yeah, go away, fatso!"

At this time, the Crossword family juniors were shouting to evict him.

Just then, Sett couldn't help himself and let out a laugh while holding his stomach.

Those catch everyone off guard and make everyone speechless.

They thought that Sett had gone crazy.

"B-Brother..."

Nini was also worried as she stood beside Sett, pulling his sleeve.She didn't want to go to Grandfather Francisco's birthday anymore. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's alright, Nini."

Sett stopped laughing as he smiled at his sister.He turned around to scan everyone's dumbfounded expressions before his sight stopped at Aunt Claire, who was sneering at him.

"How laughable that even an outsider, a bastard dog of the Rotherford family, is bossing this family around like slaves.In all honesty, I've no problem with it.However..."

Sett calmly stated, before pausing his words.As he glanced at a Crossword family member, whose face had turned pale.

"If the Crossword family doesn't peep a word, because they fear the Rotherford family, I'm not afraid if then..."

Sett flatly declared, before turning to speak to his wife.

"Sheila..."

Before Sett could continue speaking, Sheila finally spoke, but her words were beyond Sett's expectations.

"Sett, I have a word of advice for you.Don't bother me; I don't like or love you; our marriage is merely a business between the two families, and whatever I do has nothing to do with you.Don't worry, I won't cheat on you.I will divorce you first, so we can keep our dignity.Now, p-please leave.It's for your own good."

When Shiela was saying that, unbeknownst to her, tears started rolling down her cheeks, making her dizzy.

At that point, her vision became blurry and she fainted.

"Sheila!" Sett blurted out as he worriedly caught her.

"Move f*cking aside! Don't touch my fiancee with your filthy hand, ugly pig!"

Young Master Marco pushed Sett aside.

"Quickly, bring Ms.Laurel inside the manor to rest!"

Madam Claire commanded the servants as they escorted Sheila inside the manor, followed by Young Master Marco, but before that, he first glared at Sett.

As of telling Sett that he wasn't done dealing with him! The tension in the air was palpable, as there couldn't be anything bad happening to the young lady of the Laurel family while she was inside the Crossword family territory.They'd be held responsible for what happened here.

"Look what you've done! Sister Sheila fainted because of you!"

Amanda's face turned unsightly as she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"This is your fault, pig.You agitated her.Look at what you've done.Why did you even come here in the first place? Also, don't deny the fact that you've been creating trouble for the family.Ha! You didn't even bring a gift for your grandfather.I'm guessing you did it on purpose.What an assh*le!"

Xander coldly stated, while glaring at Sett.

"Why are you all acting like this? Don't bully my brother." Nini uttered.

Because Sett was holding Nini's left hand, she could understand her brother.She was sobbing that her brother was suffering as his hand kept trembling.

"Nini, they don't deserve your tears.So don't cry."
