Just as she was eagerly anticipating a taste of the delicious Knox Ridge, she was startled by this scolding.

She turned around and looked at Julius Reed with a strange expression, “What did you say?”

In Knox Ridge’s memory, Julius Reed had always been a pushover.

Even though Julius Reed had become more assertive lately and strange people had started appearing around him, it didn’t change her perception of him.

In her eyes, scolding this son-in-law who had married into the family was a matter of course.

But now, this son-in-law was actually talking back?

“I said, this isn’t something you can eat!”

Julius Reed looked up and stared coldly at Knox Ridge.

His eyes seemed like an endless abyss, instilling a chill even in the fiery Knox Ridge.

“Is this how you speak to your mother?”

Burl Radcliffe was under his wife’s thumb and, seeing his wife being humiliated, was the first to stand up.

“Julius Reed, it seems you’ve forgotten your place! Don’t forget, you’re just a son-in-law who married into the family!”

He approached Julius Reed like an enraged lion, furiously walking up to him and knocking the food onto the floor, “What is this?! Apologize immediately!”

“Apologize? That’s up to me to accept!”

Knox Ridge scoffed, slowly standing up from her chair, “Quella, come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now and divorce him!”

Having said that, she threw the household register and the marriage certificate onto the table with a “snap.”

Seeing this, both Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed didn’t look very pleased.

Placing the household register and marriage certificate together clearly meant she was ready for them to divorce at any moment.

It was evident that Knox Ridge hadn’t been at peace lately either.

“Quella, your mother is right! Even now, haven’t you seen his true colors? It’s better to leave a man like that sooner rather than later!”

Zade Radcliffe walked up to Quella’s side and pulled her up, “Let’s go! You saw how he treated your mother just now! If this goes on, your mother and I will be harassed to death by him sooner or later! Quella, if you’re still our daughter, then go and divorce him!”

“That’s right! If you don’t do it today, I will sever our mother-daughter relationship!”

The furious Knox Ridge naturally wouldn’t let things go and began pulling Quella toward the door.

“Dad, Mom! Can’t you two just be quiet for a moment!”

Quella pushed away their grip, feeling very helpless, “Julius has just come back, and you start mocking him immediately! If there’s anything to discuss, can we at least talk about it after we’ve calmed down, please!”

Her eyes were full of pleading as she looked at her parents. After all, they were family and without Julius Reed, would their family have had such good days?

Could Burl Radcliffe and Knox Ridge still spend their days doing nothing, heading to the mahjong halls to play mahjong?

And those relatives, swarming in like locusts to suck them dry.

But since Julius Reed had forbidden her to speak, Quella had no choice but to keep it a secret.

“Quella! I warn you, don’t challenge my authority again! In this house, I’m the one who calls the shots! I’ll have you know, I’ve tolerated this Julius Reed for a long time. The way he spoke to me today, he’s crossed the line!”

Knox Ridge trembled with rage, “We must divorce!”

She had planned this for some time, and it just so happened that Julius Reed had given her a pretext. Now, with all four of them present and even the divorce documents prepared, it was perfect.

“Quella, stop upsetting your mother! We’ve raised you all these years, don’t we even have this right? Besides, weren’t you also strongly opposed to it, extremely unwilling?

Before Quella could speak up in protest, Burl Radcliffe started pulling her towards the door.

It was three o’clock in the afternoon, just in time to get to the Civil Affairs Bureau before it closed to finish the matter.

“Fine! Then you guys pack up your things!”

Julius Reed stood up from his chair, pointing at the scattered vegetables on the ground, “Since we’re getting a divorce, let’s settle the accounts. That dish you knocked to the floor, the raw materials alone cost two hundred thousand. Pay up!”

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at Knox Ridge with a smile.

“Tsk tsk tsk! Such a poor thing! I was against bringing someone as unreliable as you into this in the first place. And now, would you look at that, we’re about to get divorced and here you are trying to scam me!”

Knox Ridge, believing she saw through everything, shook her head with a smile, “Too bad! You’ve met me! Julius Reed, if you think you can scam me, first check if you’ve got the skills to do so!”

“Fine, I won’t quibble over these things with you. But, before we finish our divorce procedures, please throw this trash out!”

After finishing his sentence, Julius Reed walked to the balcony, grabbed a flower pot, and threw it downstairs!

It was a detached cottage with a garage on the first floor, so there wasn’t anyone around.

Crash!

In just an instant, the sound of the flower pot shattering echoed from below.

After a moment of silence, Knox Ridge’s roar erupted from the room, “Julius Reed, you bastard! That was my favorite flower, brought all the way from the south! You… you dared to throw it away!”

Although the flower wasn’t particularly expensive, it was quite rare.

It was a precious gift from an old classmate in the south, who had purchased it for a hefty sum from a flower cultivation base in the mountains, as a testament to their friendship.

But now, Julius Reed had just casually tossed it downstairs.

Knox Ridge hurried to the balcony and looked down.

She saw the broken pieces of the flower pot scattered on the ground, with soil and broken stems and leaves creating a messy sight, beyond any hope of salvage.

Quella Radcliffe was also stunned on the spot, not expecting Julius Reed to become so domineering upon his return.

That flower pot was Knox Ridge’s most cherished possession, which everyone was well aware of.

She watered it religiously every morning and evening, loosening the soil and adding fertilizer. This flower was Knox Ridge’s favorite thing in the house, even more so than Burl Radcliffe.

Yet now, it was casually discarded by Julius Reed.

Broken beyond repair.

“Sorry, my house, I don’t like such flowers and plants. Since we’re getting divorced, you should also move out!”

In the face of Knox Ridge’s rage, Julius Reed’s face only bore a smile, not showing the slightest bit of anger.

During his return, he had resolved to get his old folks to toe the line, otherwise their life together would never settle down.

“Move out?”

Knox Ridge’s eyes shifted as she scoffed, “Isn’t this considered marital property? Even if you bought it, we still own the other half! Not stripping you to the bone is already a grand mercy from me, and you still dare to quibble over this with me!”

Ever since Quella Radcliffe said this house wasn’t hers, Knox Ridge had been making inquiries everywhere. Today she had dared to propose a divorce, already prepared for it in her heart.

After all, it was public knowledge that Julius Reed was penniless when they first got together.

Now, three years into the marriage, he suddenly had some money, which no doubt counted as marital property. She would let Quella Radcliffe give him some cash to send him on his way; the house would still be theirs.

With a nuisance gone, the old couple could finally feel at ease.

The longer Knox Ridge lived in the house, the more she loved it.

A single-family villa in the upscale district of Gonzalez City. Not just living in it but even mentioning it was a matter of pride.

“Who told you, this is marital property?”

Julius Reed turned, looking at Knox Ridge with eyes full of disdain..
