Originally, everybody had been watching TV and chatting with each other. Cooper and Linus were talking to each other quietly in English. Meanwhile, Annabel was energetically talking to Sophia about women’s issues. Needless to say, Cooper heard everything Annabel said, including ‘waste of money’, ‘surrogate mother’, and ‘find a mistress’. Although he was sick of listening to it, he said nothing. If anybody else were to say that, he would have killed them a long time ago.

However, nobody could have expected Michael to slap Annabel across the face as soon as he walked in. That clear sound rang out across the room, and everybody in the living room was left frozen in shock. It was the first time they witnessed a son-in-law hitting his mother-in-law!

As swift as lightning, he slapped Annabel again before anybody could react. The second hit was much harder than the first. As a result, Annabel lost her balance, fell onto the sofa, and struggled to get up. When she lifted her head again, her face was red and swollen.

Widening her eyes, it took her a long time to recover from the shock of being hit. On the other hand, he looked menacing and ferocious, and his eyes were filled with rage. Pointing at her, he warned her sternly. “I’m warning you right now. If you can’t watch what you say, I’ll make sure you can never say another word again!”

At that moment, everybody in the living room finally came back to their senses. Sophia hurriedly got up, put on her shoes, and ran toward Michael. Grabbing at the hand he was pointing toward Annabel, she said, “Hubby, what’s going on? Why did you hit Mom?!”

Annabel seemed to have gone into shock from fright. She sat on the sofa in a daze, staring at Michael in disbelief. It wasn’t until Cooper hurried over to hug her that she returned to her senses and finally let out a loud wail. Burying her face in Cooper’s chest, she sobbed in fear.

Cooper hugged his beloved wife close. Touching her face, he saw that her face was swollen from the slap! Thus, he flew into a rage and roared in a thunderous voice, “Michael Fletcher! How dare you?! How dare you hit your mother-in-law?!”

When Michael heard the words ‘mother-in-law’, a cold and cruel smile appeared on his enraged expression. “Mother-in-law? Haha. I call her ‘mother-in-law’ out of respect. She is nothing but a wretched woman!” Even with Cooper standing right in front of him, he didn’t seem inclined to be tolerant today. He pointed at Annabel and said warningly, “You wretched woman! Listen well; how I raise my daughter is none of your business! More than that, it has nothing to do with you whether my daughter causes me to lose money or not! If you dare to say something rude again, I will kill you myself!”

The way Annabel spoke was hurtful and harsh, but she simply considered Annabel’s words as nonsense—it entered one ear and went out the other.
