I closed my eyes and slowly released the scissors.

During Greg's stay, our home became their love nest.

I was like a housekeeper, cooking for them, doing the laundry, and even helping Greg wash his smelly socks after he changed into new ones.

My emotions had been suppressed to the extreme. I was like a pressure cooker about to explode.

There was a family dinner on Saturday.

Joanna proposed it, saying it was to announce good news.

All the relatives sat at one table in the private room.

Joanna held Greg's hand as she pushed the door open. "Let me introduce you all. This is my chosen brother, Greg Adams. He's the owner of a chain of fitness centers."

The relatives' gazes were immediately drawn to the gold watch on Greg's wrist.

"Oh, this young man is so energetic. He must be a successful person." My mother-in-law smiled so widely that the wrinkles on her face were obvious. She pulled Greg to the main seat.

I sat silently in the corner. Nobody paid any attention to me.

During the meal, Joanna stood up, holding a glass of juice. "I called everyone here to announce good news."

She touched her belly as a happy smile spread across her face. "I'm pregnant."

The private room instantly erupted in excitement.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"The Hughes family finally has a baby!"

The relatives raised their glasses.

I sat there, gripping my cutlery tightly.

Pregnant? We had not been intimate for three months. It was obvious whose child it was.

My mother-in-law glanced at me, saying sarcastically, "Oh, this child will be as smart as his uncle. Hopefully, he won't end up like a certain someone who's been a spineless coward and a failure his whole life."

Greg proudly put his arm around Joanna's shoulder as if he were the master of the household. "Don't worry, Mrs. Laker. I'll adopt this baby as my godson and treat him like my own."

After a few rounds of drinks, Joanna pulled a document from her bag and threw it in front of me. "Noah, now that I'm pregnant, this house has to be transferred to my name to provide for the baby. Also, Greg said he's willing to contribute money and effort to get our child into the best school possible, but his name has to be added to the house as a guarantee for the baby's education fund."

I looked at the Property Gift Agreement.

The house was bought in full before our marriage. Now, she not only wanted to take it away, but also wanted to add the other man's name to it. She even wanted me to make room for their b*stard child.

"Noah, just sign it." Greg lit a cigarette and blew a puff of smoke in my face. "You know what you're like. This child has a future with me. If you sign, I can leave you a small room in this house to live in and take care of you in your old age. If you don't sign..."

He sneered, his threat palpable.

All the relatives at the table were looking at me.

"Noah, hurry up and sign! Joanna wouldn't scam you, would she?"

"That's right. Even Mr. Adams is willing to help. Don't be ungrateful."

I lowered my head as my shoulders began to tremble violently.

[Ding!]

[Mission complete! You have endured total humiliation.

[Patience level has reached 100%!]

[Reward distributed. $100 million in cash received!]

[A top-tier legal team is ready for you!]

[God-level fighting techniques loaded!]

A warm current instantly surged through my body. My muscles seemed to inflate with power as countless fighting techniques instantly rushed into my mind.

I looked up at Greg's repulsive face, Joanna's greedy eyes, and these snobbish relatives.

I suddenly laughed out loud. My laughter grew louder and louder as it echoed throughout the private room.

Everyone was stunned.

"Noah, have you lost your mind?" Joanna yelled with a frown.

I picked up the agreement and tore it in two in front of everyone. Rip! Then, I tore it again, this time into shreds.

I threw the paper scraps at Joanna's face. "You'll get this signature over my dead body!"
