Chapter 5
After hearing the commotion, Albert and Ariana's mother walked out of the bedroom.
Albert pointed at me fiercely and shouted, "What are you doing? Dare to touch a hair on Pete's body and I'll make sure you regret it."
Seeing that I was carrying a stick, he got scared and said he would call the police, accusing me of illegally entering the room with a dangerous weapon.
"Do you know the police number? If not, I'll call for you."
I remembered his dog didn't have a dog license, and the urban dog-raising manual clearly stipulated that large fierce dogs were not allowed to be kept.
When the police came, they could just take it away and deal with it.
I took out my mobile phone and dialed 911.
Ariana rushed up and snatched the phone. "Are you deliberately making our family a laughingstock?
"If you're angry with me, come at me. Don't make a scene in front of my family.
"It's only been a few years since our marriage. Have you started to dislike me? If you want a divorce, just say it directly. Don't vent your anger on my family."
When Ariana said this, her eyes were already red, and two lines of tears followed.
In the past, whenever we had conflicts and she cried and mentioned divorce, I would patiently coax her not to talk nonsense.
But today, facing her, I had no patience at all. "Ariana, don't worry. I've already drafted the divorce agreement on my way here."
Hearing this, Ariana was stunned for a moment, then pounced on me. "Kevin, so you already have someone outside and have been waiting to divorce me, right?"
I was almost driven crazy with anger. At this point, she still couldn't see her own problems.
Albert rushed over and pointed at me, yelling, "Kevin, I warn you. If you dare to bully my sister, be careful I'll kill you."
"Before you kill me, I'll kill this beast first."
I pushed Ariana away, raised the stick, and hit the fierce dog again.
But the dog was protected in the arms of Albert and his mother.
Ariana's mother even lay on the ground crying and wailing, "If you want to kill it, kill me first."
Ariana rushed to the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife, and ran out. "Peter is our family. If you dare to hurt it, I'll fight you to the death."
I was really furious.
I never thought that my wife, who shared the bed with me for four years, would confront me with a knife because of a dog.
I always thought that Ariana was just influenced by her family and was a little ignorant in her thinking. But essentially, she wasn't bad.
Besides, even if a woman got married, it was reasonable for her to take care of her parents' family.
I never expected that she would be so ignorant.
Chapter 6
At this time, my mother called me and said that Ruby had woken up. She trembled all over, crying and wanting to find me.
I threw away the stick and left. Now my daughter was the most important thing. I would slowly settle the other matters with them.
After comforting my daughter, I found a lawyer.
I had three demands.
First: Divorce.
Second: Get back my five hundred thousand.
Third: Make their family compensate for my daughter's medical expenses.
After providing all the materials, the lawyer asked me to go back and wait for the news.
But Ariana called me and asked me to go home. "My mother and my brother have come. You come back. Some things need to be clarified in person."
Hearing that Albert and his mother were at my house, a fire immediately flared up in my stomach. I drove home.
When I got home, I saw the dining table filled with all kinds of snacks, fruits, and drinks.
Ariana was busy entertaining Albert and her mother.
After seeing me, she started muttering again, "It's been so many days. Why haven't you brought Ruby back? The medical expenses for staying in the hospital are several hundred dollars a day. What a waste of money. We can take care of her at home."
While she was talking, she took out several bottles of wine and handed them to Albert. "Kevin doesn't like drinking. You can take all these back."
Her mother and Albert were sitting on the sofa, watching TV and eating fruit. The peels were thrown all over the floor by them.
And that crazy dog I hated to the core was running wild all over the room, biting here and there.
Several pieces of wallpaper were torn off. One corner of the sofa had been bitten open, and the sponge inside was pulled out and torn all over the room.
On the floor of the bedroom, there was a pool of yellow liquid, emitting a foul smell.
Needless to say, it was dog urine.
Albert spat out a mouthful of trash and said, "Kevin, why did you come back so late?"
"Why are you here? I don't welcome beasts."
Ariana pushed me. "How can you talk to him like that? You hit Peter hard yesterday. We just came back from the pet hospital. The doctor said Peter had a concussion. It was also frightened by you and has psychological problems.
"The doctor said that if it's not treated in time, the consequences will be serious. You pay 30,000 dollars for the medical expenses first. We'll talk about the follow-up treatment and nutrition expenses later."
Evil deeds would be requited with evil.
