Dream of a Happy Family

The Awesome Show

Ethan waved his hand, clearly he looked reluctant to agree to his proposal. "Miss Iris, I know you're in a dispute with Miss Winifred, but allow me to say this, please don't try to do something silly in this project. If something serious happens, then you won't be able to bear the consequences."

After that, Ethan turned around to leave. "Today, I'll pretend not to hear it, but I don't want to hear about this plan. Otherwise, don't blame me for I have to report to the president about your deeds."

Ethan hurried away without looking back again. However, upon reaching the exit, Iris started laughing out loud. His laughter made Ethan's scalp feel like it had been pierced by thorns.

"Ethan Lynch, you old man, you better not turn down my easy offer for such a severe punishment. I know very well what you've been doing in the company all along. Stop trying to act as if you are a holy figure in front of me. If I don't have any information about you, will I come to ask you for help?"

Ethan's expression wavered as he turned to look at Iris. He realized that this woman was like the devil himself. If someone has not done bad things in the past, then they have nothing to fear if one night a ghost will knock on your door. And Ethan is clearly afraid of the ghost of the woman.

"Ethan, you'll be fifty soon, right? You have parents and children you have to take care of at home. If I'm going to reveal about you leaving that position and taking bribes for years, do you think you'll be ready to go to jail?"

Iris Zea, don't go too far in my business.

"Well! Are you scared now?" Iris narrowed her eyes and picked up a check before walking over to Ethan and throwing it in her face. It's five hundred grand. When my shipment goes into the company, you'll get another five hundred grand. With this one million, you can retire early and enjoy the rest of your day comfortably.

Ethan felt a chill running through his body. He no longer had the confidence he had shown before. "Iris Zea, the president and Miss Winifred trust me a lot. Don't force me."

"Stop saying nonsensical things in front of me. Whether you do it or not, make your choice now! Either you take this check and do what I say, or I'll report you tomorrow."

Although Ethan is very troubled, he chooses to compromise in the end. He leaned over to pick up the check before heading back downstairs.

Travis came out of his hiding place on the roof and smiled as he said, "How are you, Iris? My plan's good, isn't it?"

Iris chuckles. "Clothes made from fabrics that have been given toxic chemicals will be a nightmare to wear! Winifred Zea, you're still too naive to try to compete with me. Just wait for the great show!"

In the afternoon, Tyr finished making dinner, and the family of five was eating dinner. After spending some time together, Helen changed her outlook on Tyr a lot. At dinner, he no longer rambled, saying that Tyr's dish was pork. Blair liked Tyr's cooking, so he always devoured his food from the start.

Helen glared at Blair and said, "You're a little bit overloaded, why are you eating so fast? Your body is very small, but you eat a lot. The food at home is running out, it's all because of you."

Blair slowed down and put on an innocent facial expression. Tyr suppressed his desire to smile. She knew Helen was only worried that Blair would choke on her eating too soon.

After that, Helen took the boiled pork ribs and put them on Blair's plate. "These skinny cows are the worst. The flesh is not juicy and is always stuck in your teeth. Extra baggage looks like you can only eat something like this."

Tyr and Winifred were rendered speechless by their mother's actions. Everyone knew that he loved Blair so much, so why couldn't he show it in a more normal way?

At that time, Tyr was holding out his chopsticks for boiled beef ribs when Helen deliberately dropped them. "So, you're my son-in-law, but why is someone else's son-in-law so great? Look atyou. You only know how to do housework all day, don't you feel ashamed?"

Helen continued, "I'm really upset today. Do you know that Plum Watson lives on the eighth floor? Her son-in-law is a programmer, and a few days ago, she bought her daughter a Mitsubishi, It was so big that she could invite the whole family to come in. Plum Watson had become so proud and clear over these past few days that she had deliberately tried to show me off that. Tell me, why do I have a useless daughter-in-law like you who can't give us anything we want but just embarrass me in front of others?"

Winifred slammed his chopsticks hard at being annoyed. "Mom, how can you say that? It's their business if they can afford a car, why do you always try to compete with other people?"

"Winifred Zea, do you call me arrogant?" Helen's anger began to rise. "If you don't give me a useless daughter-in-law, would you have the heart if I always get ridiculed from others?"

"That's because your life was in vain."

"What's? My life's in vain? If my life is in vain, then I will find a random rich man and marry him."

"Don't you see Will one last time?"

Seeing the bickering between the mother and child pair turn increasingly fierce, Jacob let out a loud sigh and took Blair out.

Tyr looked embarrassed. "Uhm, ma'am, actually I was thinking of buying a car for Winifred."

"With someone like you?" Helen glared at Tyr. "How could a beggar like you have enough money to buy a car? Even if you do, can you buy a big one like Watson's?" As she spoke, Helen arrogantly threw a debit card and a photo of Mitsubishi ASX in front of Tyr's face.

"There are sixty thousand in this card. Go and buy a car for Winifred tomorrow. Remember, it has to be bigger than the one in this photo."

Winifred suddenly lowered his head, feeling embarrassed. He stopped arguing with Helen. Beside him, Tyr tried to sigh.

After the middle-aged woman threw her debit card, Helen exited the door angrily to seek some fresh air. It left Tyr and Winifred who were inside the house exchanging glances.

"This money..." Tyr was looking at the debit card on the table, it seemed like he was thinking hard.

Winifred said, "The things my mother said about you before, don't put them in your heart. He's like that."

Tyr smiled and said, "Actually he is quite good. It was just that his tongue was too sharp yet his heart remained soft. The money on this card should be his savings. He did this because he didn't want people out there vilifying a beggar's daughter-in-law like me. That's why he asked me to use the money to buy a car. And actually this is not a waste. It's just that when I saw how exhausting you had to drive a scooter to go to the office every day, so he wanted to buy you a car."

Winifred looked agitated. "With my parents having lived in the house for many years, they must have run out of savings."

Tyr felt pity. "What do you mean?"

Winifred smiled bitterly. "The jade bracelet on my mother's arm is gone. He must have sold it!"
