Chapter 3

I went to sleep at my friend's house that night.

When I returned home the next day, my father-in-law and mother-in-law, my great-uncle and brother-in-law were all there.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt an extremely strong sense of oppression coming at me. Especially the mother-in-law's fierce eyes. As if she wanted to eat me alive.

I looked at Lindsay again. Her eyes were red and her face was haggard, she looked like she hadn't slept all night.

"William, you son of a bitch, where did you go last night?"

Lindsay’s mother, Lilian Cyrus, was the first to get up, her hands crossed and she questioned angrily with a cross-eyed look.

"I went to Peter's house to sleep." I faintly returned a sentence.

"Put your nonsense bullshit."

My Brother-in-law, Louis Cyrus, used to be a social mixer, with a gangster's air on his body and a particularly loud voice.

His face was gloomy as he pointed at me and asked angrily, "Lindsay said that you cheated on her and last night when you guys had a fight, you even hit her with your hands, is there such a thing?"

I glanced at Lindsay and asked, "Louis, she told you so?"

"Do you admit it?"

"Of course I don't do it."

"William, when you guys got married, I warned you that if you dare to bully my sister, I'll waste you, how dare you turn a deaf ear to what I said, you're fucking looking for death!"

Lindsay’s second brother, Lucas, copied the ashtray on the table and stride towards me.

Looking at his stance, he didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Lucas, Louis, punch him!"

Lilian wasn't afraid of making things worse at all. She only knew that her daughter had been wronged. So she thought, I had to be taught a hard lesson.

"Brother, wait a moment." Lindsay hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"Lindsay, what are you waiting for? Let me smash his head and he'll know he's wrong," Lucas said angrily.

"I have something to say to him."

Lindsay walked up to me, her back to her family, the corner of her mouth raised in a smug arc, then she choked, "William, go to the balcony and make things clear."

She thought I would agree.

Instead, I smiled bashfully, "No, just say it here."

"My big brother's anger isn't a joke." Lindsay reminded.

"It's fine."

"You're not afraid?"

"The big deal is to be killed and maimed by him."

"What I said last night, do you compromise?"

"No."

"I advise you to think about it seriously."

"I would donate my bone marrow to a dog, but not to your first love."

"You'll regret it!"

I laughed without saying anything.

The next second, Lindsay suddenly got emotional and pointed at me.

She tearfully said to her family, "Mom, dad, Louis, Lucas, last night William not only hit me with his hands, he ... he also ...."

Lindsay was in tears and wanted to say something.

"Lindsay, what did this bastard do to you besides beating you?"

"Lindsay, don't cry, speak out boldly, mom and dad will make the decision for you."

"Lindsay, go ahead and say it, big brother will back you up!"

Lindsay's family was furious.

Lindsay wiped off her tears and pointed at me, "William raped me!"

"What?"

"This asshole!"

"This beast, how dare he do something so unconscionable."

"It's tolerable!"

Lilian was so agitated that she picked up the fruit knife on the table and headed straight for me.

Louis hurriedly grabbed his mother's hand.

"Let me go, I'm going to stab this beast to death!" Lilian exclaimed.

"Mom, I will teach this brat a lesson, you don't need to do it, don’t let the blood splatter on you," Louis said.

He first took the knife from his mother's hand.

Then took a step towards me. I subconsciously stepped back.

This was not me being a wimp. I was not afraid of other people. But Louis was a gangster earlier in his life and the ruthlessness in his bones was not comparable to ordinary people.

If he stabbed me twice with a knife, the one who suffered was still me.

"Louis, let me go first." Lucas, who was holding an ashtray, grabbed the front.

"I've installed surveillance at home, whoever dares to touch me will wait to go to jail."

Facing the two Cyrus brothers who were full of anger towards me. I knew to myself that if I did it, getting punched would be light.

I might get some red marks. Of course. But I had a way to make them not dare to act rashly.

As soon as the brothers heard that there was surveillance at home. They didn't dare to go any further. They both looked at each other.

Then looked at Lindsay. Without waiting for Lindsay to speak.

I grabbed the front and said, ''I can understand that you guys are eager to protect your sister, but we are all adults. No matter what happens, you have to find out the ins and outs, right? You guys can't just sentence me to death because of her mere words, you should at least listen to my explanation too."

"Scumbag, what else do you have to explain? Is it hard to believe that my Lindsay would still wrong you?" Lucas said angrily.

"I'll listen to your sophistry for now. But if there isn't a reason that can convince us, you should know my temper. You see this knife in my hand, I will definitely stick it in you," Louis said grimly.

"We were still packing our bags last night, preparing to go out on a trip to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, the itinerary and airfare I have all arranged, but as a result, things have evolved into this now, have you ever thought about what exactly happened in it?"

The moment I said this.

The people of the Cyrus Family immediately frowned. Because this was something they all knew about. Lindsay and I's plan was to leave today.

Lindsay was obviously slightly flustered.

And she hurriedly said to her family, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he just raped me and beat me up and scolded me for being coupled up with my first love, he humiliated me and insulted me."

As soon as I saw this panicked look of Lindsay, I was sure in my heart that she definitely did not tell the truth to her family. But I didn't wait for her family to react.

I let out a cold snort and said, "The reason we didn't go on the trip and the reason she called you all here is because I'm divorcing her!"

"You want a divorce?" The Cyrus Family was shocked.
