Chapter 61

After Yvonne finished work, she noticed the huge dent in the car’s bumper but did not feel resentful

toward Samuel. She simply said, "How could you be so careless?”

"Steven insisted on driving when I went to pick his family up. He accidentally banged the car," Samuel

replied.

"Steven?" Yvonne’s brows immediately furrowed. She practically hated her cousin. He was a grown

man of over twenty years, yet he did nothing but laze around and learn how to make idle boasts like his

father. She never thought that he would actually get the car into a n accident.

"Let’s see how he deals with it once my mom replaces out," Yvonne said.

They drove back home. Her parents, as well as her uncle's family, were all waiting on the ground floor.

This scene confused even Samuel. They were not waiting for Yvonne, were they?

After they parked the car, Lydia and Godfrey were looking at the front bumper, soreness seeping into

their bones. Bitterness and resentment welled in their hearts; this was a new car!

"Samuel Hannigan, give me the keys." Lydia walked toward Samuel and said coldly.

Samuel felt that it was strange, but he gave the keys to her anyway.

"Since you do not know how to appreciate what has been given to you, don't drive this car anymore,"

she said. "I don't care if it just sits here eating dust. Don’t even think about touching it."

Godfrey cast Samuel a frosty look and said, "Did you really think that you could do whatever you want

now that Yvonne makes more money? Do you know how expensive it is to repair an Audi?"

Ferdinand and his family smothered smiles on their faces as they watched Samuel being reprimanded

for this-especially Steven, who even looked pleased with the situation.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Yvonne was completely perplexed and lost about the circumstances.

Steven pointed at the dent in the car and said, "Can't you see that the car has been smashed? I

already told you to not let him drive such a nice car. Now you know the consequences of not listening

to me."

Yvonne was shocked. It was Steven who drove the car. How could he blame this on Samuel?

Then she suddenly understood everything when she observed the expressions of her uncle's family.

Anger began to simmer in her.

"Mom, this car-" "Yvonne, if you say another word in his defense, I'll make you divorce him now," Lydia

interrupted coldly.

Samuel tugged on Yvonne's hand, hinting that she did not need to explain anything for him.

Yvonne was so furious that she felt her head rimming on exploding. How could her uncle's family be so

shameless? Even a dog had a better conscience when telling lies.

"Your man has no skill in driving, Cousin dear. It's dangerous to let him be your chauffeur. You'd better

reconsider him," Steven said, smiling.

"That's right. You're earning big bucks now. What if you end up in a serious accident?" Flora chimed in.

These words reminded Lydia that Yvonne was the sole breadwinner of their family. What would happen

t o them if something happened to her?

"Samuel, don’t ever pick Yvonne up from her office anymore. Just go wherever good-for-nothings hang

out," Lydia said.

When she finished saying that, she clasped Yvonne’s hand and resumed, "Take your uncle and his

family out for dinner tonight. The useless gnat doesn't have t o tag along."

Of course, the useless gnat she was referring to was Samuel.

Yvonne did not get a chance to say anything when Samuel spoke up, "I have something to do tonight.

You go ahead."

"You’re pretty self-aware, aren't you, Samuel? You know that you have no place in our family

gatherings. It'd be less embarrassing for you if you found an excuse to not go instead,” Steven said

mockingly.

Yvonne felt extremely resentful in her husband’s place. "Samuel, you—”

"Go ahead. I have something to do," he cut in.

The entire family drove two cars-Godfrey with one, and Steven another. Samuel saw them off before he

went upstairs.

In the car, Steven said happily, "You were awesome, Mom. That useless sc*mbag seriously had no

chance t o protest."

Flora smiled. "Does he even have a place to speak up i n the Sue family?" she said. "But you better be

more careful. I can't replace another excuse to help you if you get the car into another accident."

"Don't worry. I was only careless just now," Steven said, tone quiet.

Another devious idea sparked in Flora. "Lydia’s family actually has two cars," she said to Ferdinand.

"They must be pretty rich now. You better think of a way to borrow money from them."

"Lydia’s rich now, so it’s only natural for her to help her own brother. I'll borrow some from her later

during dinner. Even if I don’t manage to get twenty thousand, we'll start with at least ten thousand," her

husband said.

"Just promise her any conditions she throws at you first. We'll deal with them later after we have the

money. If we don't return it in the future, we still have the final say about it," Flora reminded him.

"It'd be ridiculous of her if she still wants me to return her money even though she’s so rich now,"

Ferdinand said, as if that was the most natural thing in the world. "How can she call me her brother

then?"

In order to maintain their reputation, Lydia reserved a private room in a five-star hotel. It was definitely

not cheap. She even said that she was a regular customer here.

When Flora heard her words, she subtly flashed two fingers toward her husband before entering the

hotel. I t meant that he would ask for twenty thousand from the get-go.
