Chapter 34: I Won't Tolerate it Anymore
In the afternoon, Tim did take her into the car.
Paul didn't come out to see her off.
It was said that he had gone to the company.
Amy closed her eyes.
She wondered what kind of woman could impress Paul.
She hoped to see her in her life.
It was probably because Paul was high above that she was looking forward to the moment when he fell in love with someone.
She wished such a woman could show up in two years.
As she thought about it, she found herself arriving at the Howard Family, and Jane was waiting at the door.
"Amy, my brother has been taking care of you for so long.You're the luckiest woman in the world."
Jane complained as she wheeled her in.
Rachel sat in the living room with exquisite hair and makeup.
She glanced at her and then looked away.
"You really signed a two-year contract with Paul?"
Although it was a question, her tone was firm.
Amy was surprised.
She didn't expect that even Mrs.Tache had known it.
"Yes, we will divorce in two years.’ Rachel put down the glass in her hand and mocked, "If it weren't for Old Mr.Howard, I don't think this two-year contract would work.You're lucky to win his favor.Since the contract has been signed, I won't make things difficult for you.Stay here for two years and then leave.You'd better not have any other thoughts.”
This was not the first time Rachel had warned Amy.
That was what she said on the first day she married into the family.
Amy nodded without hesitation.
"Mrs.Tache, don't worry.’ Amy's attitude pleased Rachel.
She was at ease, thinking that two years was not very long.
Jane stood behind Amy, a little confused, and finally opened her eyes wide.
"You signed a contract with my brother? Oh my god, the novel I read last night was all true.The tyrannical president signed a contract with his wife.And he ended up going all out to win her heart.It turns out the novel originated from life.Paul really surprises me!"
Jane blushed with excitement.
She didn't expect the story of the novel she liked to turn real.
Hearing her words, Amy was speechless.
Rachel said with a sulking face, holding her forehead, "Jane, get a job.Don't just muddle along.’ Jane stared at her, her cheeks bulging.
"Mom, our family is so rich.Why should I get a job?"
Amy held back the urge to laugh.
It was the first time she saw that Mrs.Tache was lost for words.
Jane voiced the view of many rich second generations.
Moreover, she was not an ordinary one.
The Howard Family was enough for her to squander for a few lifetimes.
The pampered young lady probably could not understand the suffering of ordinary people.
With the Howard Family, she would have trouble surviving in society.
The day after Amy came back, trouble came to her.
A few of her cousins in the countryside came to the Howard Family early in the morning, saying that they hoped the Howard Family could foster their sons and daughters.
The Howard Family was rarely as noisy as this morning.
Several relatives of Amy held a child in their hands and looked at the villa with greedy eyes.
They were not nice people.
In the past, they only considered how to exploit Amy's grandma.
After the old woman fell ill, they did not even pay a sing cent for her medical bill.
Now they got the news that Amy get married to a rich family from some channels. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
So they took the children from afar and wanted to come here to take refuge in Amy.
"Amy, you know that the education in the city is better than that in the countryside.When you were in the countryside with us, we helped you a lot.You marry a good family now and you must not disown poor relatives like us."
"That' right.The price of the school district housing in the city is very expensive.Even the house in the county has been sold to 15 thousand dollars per square meter.We totally can't afford it.But as the old saying, we should never cut down on expenditures of children's education, we hope you can help us.You're rich now.It must not a big deal for you to help your poor relatives.When the children grow up, they will not forget your kindness.’
"We have usually talked about what's the villa looks like.This house is the villa, right? Amy, you really make a fortune so that you have a villa in the city.We have you as our relative.We become glorious too."
Amy felt as if there was a tsunami in her heart, surging and heaving violently.
She was angry but she did not show it on her face.
When she was in the countryside, the people she disliked the most were the people in front of her.
As long as they heard that there were any valuable things in Amy's grandma's house, they would come and bring the good things away in groups.
Her grandma was honest and thought that they were family, so her grandma didn't ever stop them.
Amy's mother had left Amy a sum of money before she passed away.
All these years, Amy's relatives had been coveted the money, but Amy's grandma refused to take the money out for the relatives no matter how they persuaded her.
For that, Amy's grandma had been scolded for a long time.
And her house had been rummaged and in a mess many times.
These people were leeches that sucked blood! How shameless they were to come to Amy today! Amy watched the children bounce around the house.
They were with a look of longing and did not even have the slightest awareness of treating themselves as outsiders.
It was true that children raised by such people were ill-bred.
Amy was sitting in a wheelchair and feeling a little lucky.
Fortunately, Mrs.Tache and Jane went out early in the morning.
Mrs.Tache and Jane didn't have to face these shameless people and would not get irritated because of them.
"If you want to foster your child here, how much are you planning to pay every year?" Amy said without a trace of anger on her face.
"We're relatives.Don't you think we should not talk about the money? Even if we gave the money to you, Amy, you must not accept it.After all, we're all your elders."
The corners of Amy's mouth curled up.
How shameless her cousin was to say such a thing! They were treating her as a free ATM.
They asked her to take care of their children's food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
And she could not charge a single cent.
"That's right, Amy.You are a top student who graduated from Imperial City University.You should know to respect the old and love the young.These children are very obedient.With your education, they will definitely have a good development in the future.Maybe everyone will be able to be admitted into Imperial City University.Then we will make our ancestors illustrious."
Amy looked at the joy on the women's faces and said with an indifferent expression, "Are all you going to let them go to school here? It will take a lot of money.’
"Of course.It's great to go to school in the city.If so, in the future, the children will be city people.I heard that your husband's family is quite powerful.In the future, you can find a position for the children.We are all family.We help each other”
"No matter how much money it takes, you can help us.Our children must go to an aristocratic school, the kind mentioned on TV.In the future, they will be able to make friends with the rich second generation.Now that you graduate, the monthly salary you get should be at least ten thousand dollars.You pay the expenses first.In the future, you will be the nominal mother of the children. When they graduate and make success, they will be filial to you."Amy smiled.
How thick-skinned her cousin was to say that! "You mean, let me take care of your children, raise them, and be responsible for their education in the future.But all of you don't pay a penny, do you? In that case, why did all of you give birth to the children? You should have aborted them.Why give birth to them and waste our precious time?"
Amy's words were poisonous, but it made sense.
When they heard this, they were instantly angry.
"Amy, you!"
"What does that mean? Do you have any manners? Did you graduate from Imperial City University? Bah, the school has educated a scum like you! "
"You get married into the rich and want to disown us.We will tell your grandma this and let her educate you!"
"How can you watch your nephews and nieces go to a bad school? Do you have a conscience?"
Amy lowered her head and played with her fingernails, completely ignoring their scolding.
Her attitude made them even angrier.
They sat on the sofa and showed resistance.
It was as if they would not leave until this matter was solved.
Amy raced her mind.
In fact, when she went downstairs and saw her relatives, she was a little confused.
How could they enter the Howard Family so easily and sit on the sofa without any scruple? If it weren't for Mrs.Tache's instructions, they wouldn't even be able to step on the threshold of the Howard Family gate.
Mrs.Tache had said that she would not make things difficult for Amy in the future.
But today’s matter was not exactly difficulty caused by Mrs.Tache.
Mrs.Tache just allowed these strange relatives of Amy to come in.
Mrs.Tache did not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Amy was now sure that Mrs.Tache wanted to see how she would solve this matter.
"Okay, I agree to let your children live here"
She said with a faint smile.
As she expected, she saw a smile on the faces of her cousins.
"If all of you agree, then come with me to the police station and change the children's name now.The children can't follow your surname anymore.Their surname has to be Howard.’
The people sitting in the living room became anxious in an instant.
"Why should our children have to be surnamed after Howard?"Amy raised her eyebrows.
"Aren't all of you asking me and my husband to adopt the children?"
They began to argue again, with their faces full of anger.
"We just want you to take care of the children for a while!"
Amy smiled with sarcasm in her eyes.
"Then why should I take care of other people's children? Do the children have no parents?"
Their faces instantly darkened more.
"Other people? How could you say that? Do you treat us as strangers? Everyone here is your cousin!"
Before they came, they were very confident that their sons and daughters would be able to get a big leap immediately.
They didn't have expected Amy to tease them.
"Cousin? I can count the number of times I've met all of you with one hand.Are we close? Why should I take care of the children of yours? If you don't want to raise them, just send them to the orphanage! I'm not a philanthropist! Send the guests away! As soon as Amy finished speaking, the Howard Family bodyguards stepped forward and forced Amy's relatives out.Amy's relatives kept saying harsh words and looked embarrassed.Amy's eyes became icier and icier.It was as if to freeze the things she stared at.How could her freak relatives know that she was married into a rich family? As soon as she thought of this, her phone rang.
It was Jack.
It was probably because he knew that she had fallen out with Myrnaso he called to persuade her not to be angry anymore.
She pressed the answer button.
"Amy, come back for dinner tonight.I heard that you and your mother have a misunderstanding.Let's sit down and solve it.’
"Jack, what are you talking about? My mother died along time ago." Amy snapped.
Being satirized, Jack felt embarrassed.
His throat turned dry and tense.
"No matter what, I'm your father.You shouldn't have talked to me like this.Amy, you should know this, whatever Becker did, it was for your own good.You're my daughter.And she is my wife.It's my responsibility to mediate the misunderstanding between you and Becker.Come back tonight to remove the misunderstanding on the spot." Amy sneered.
Last time, she had a complete falling out with Myrna.
Thanks to Paul's permission for her to exercise Mrs.Howard's right, she could get someone to protect her grandma.
With Paul's people there to protect her grandma, Myrna would not be able to hurt her anymore.
In that case, why should she continue to swallow her anger? From today on, she would not tolerate it anymore!
