Chapter 4

Paige looked unhappy. She sat on the sofa and complained non-stop.

"Back then, there were many men who were better than you wanted to be my son-in-law. Celeste didn't mind that you had no money and insisted on marrying you. Now that your company is thriving, what's wrong with helping Rocky out?

"Now that you've taken on a big project, your attitude towards us changed. You even ignore me when I speak."

As soon as she finished speaking, Celeste pouted discontentedly and gave me a disdainful glance.

Rocky mediated and told them not to blame me for his sake. He said that it was fine if I didn't help him because I didn't have the obligation to do so.

He was a complete phony.

If it were in the past, I wouldn't dare to offend Paige. I would have agreed to help and appease her, my mother-in-law, with a smiling face.

But not anymore.

Both Celeste and she are bitches! I bet she knows everything Celeste has done. Who gives her the right to boss me around?

Moreover, I help with most of Rocky's business, but the materials he supplies to me are more expensive than those I get from other suppliers.

Celeste cheated on me, and Paige gave her a hand. Why should I appease them?

"For this project, the material suppliers need to go through a public bidding process as usual. Glory Group will arrange for someone to participate throughout the entire process. I don't get to call the shots.

"Rocky, if you wanna bid, you can hand in your tender these days. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked towards the study without looking at the changing expressions on their faces.

The sound of a glass falling to the floor echoed behind me. I closed the door and could still hear Paige cursing.

"What kind of attitude was that? Does he really think he's a big shot? Does he really think he's something?"

I smiled and sent a message to Eric.

The voices in the living room gradually became quieter. Celeste and the other two closed the door and left.

I knew Celeste wouldn't come back tonight. In all the years of our marriage, whenever I upset her, she would return to Paige's house and wait for me to bring her flowers and gifts to make her happy.

I must go to Paige's house!
