Chapter 18

Selena initially thought her mother would help her carry the clothes in her hands when she grabbed and threw them into the lake. It was too late by the time he came to his senses. The three sets of clothes that cost nearly two hundred thousand were boldly thrown into the lake beside him.

"What are you doing, Ma? That's original! Who said it was fake?" Selena was so agitated that she stepped on. Worried, she rushed over as her eyes turned red and she seemed to be about to cry. This was the first time Jack had gotten his clothes. After all the hardships she had endured during their five years of marriage, she finally felt a sense of luxury. This meant that his endurance over the past five years had not been in vain!

"Ontentic? How is it genuine? And if it's true, can he buy it?" Skeptical Fiona crossed her arms across her chest. He was not convinced that Jack had that kind of money to buy Gucci-branded clothes for his daughter.

"Honored mother-in-law, it was completely original. We bought it at the Gucci store. They can't be fake now, can they?" said Jack.

Joan, who was standing at the side, finally exploded, "How can you throw a suit that costs almost two hundred thousand into the lake?!"

"No, I have to take it!" The panicked Selena prepared to dive into the lake and pick up her clothes. Fortunately, the lake was crystal clear; he could start wearing those clothes after washing them well once he picked them up. Jack watched Selena's every move and felt her heart being sliced. Selena is twenty years old. She even contributed greatly to her family's company at a young age—five years ago—became the woman of the Taylor family. Selena, back then, was adorned with branded clothing and enjoyed being treated as a reputable woman. However, here he was, in an attempt to dive into the lake just to pick up a few pieces of those clothes.

Jack took two steps forward and immediately grabbed Selena. "Forgot them, my dear," he exclaimed, "that's only three pieces of clothing. I'll take you out and buy you one more!"

Selena was not moved. "No" protested. "The clothes are very expensive, and the money you earn has put your life on the line. Not to mention, this is the first time you've bought me clothes. I have to lure it, and it can still be used as well!"

Jack chuckled at the statement. He felt very touched; he thought that having a wife like her would make him a happy man for the rest of his life. As he took off his hand, Jack plunged into the lake and took his clothes. She was soaked from head to toe, but the words Selena said to her warmed her heart.

"Cannot be. They're real?" As the shocked Fiona saw the events unfolding before her, she looked towards Joan and stammered, "Where did your son get the money from?"

Joan laughed bitterly before she replied, "This is all thanks to the five years my son has served as a soldier. When he was dismissed this time and upon his return, he was given a sum of prize money for being dismissed. He used that money to buy us clothes, didn't he? Although the money he earned had put him at great risk, he was willing to spend it all for Selena!"

"I'm..." Fiona was completely silent. He did not expect that the clothes were real Gucci clothes.

"You're desperate. It doesn't matter if it's genuine or not; you can't just throw it into the lake! It came from Jack's attention!" Even the usually quiet Andrew couldn't help but stare at Fiona.

Jack is out of the lake right now. He looked at Andrew before saying, "Let's go back now, father-in-law. Your leg was destroyed in an accident. But don't worry, I can help you heal!"

"That's impossible, right?" Andrew's heart was pounding when he heard the statement. He frowned afterwards and said, "When we checked it out at the famous hospital, the doctor said that it would remain limp even after being treated. It's a nerve problem, and the bones underneath it are all getting necrotic. . Even as I walk now, I feel numb!"

Fiona then fell silent for a moment before continuing her scolding, "We've had so many hardships over the years. How is this small amount of money enough for us? Moreover, based on reason, you are required to give ten million gifts of money to us during the seventieth birthday of the old man. If not, don't even think for a second that we'll admit you!"

"What are you saying, Mom?! He's still Kylie's father, and the boy can't live without a father. After all, he's the man in charge!" Selena looked at Fiona angrily. "It doesn't matter if you guys admit it or not" she added, "as in my heart, she is a guy—Selena Taylor—. Even if you were to have her exiled from the Taylor family, I would never have married Young Master. Clark or Young Mr. Wilson. From the way I look at it, those guys aren't even a fraction of Jack's men."

"You—" Fiona was furious. She pointed at Selena and said, "How do I give birth to a daughter like you? You're not polite now, understand? Are you here to push your mother to death? Are you only satisfied when I die after? cornered?"

"I'm—that's not what I meant! You can't always force me, you know?" Selena could only endure her frustration when she saw her mother wailing on the side. "alright. Stop talking about it, Mom. This whole ordeal is my fault, I admit!"

"I—Jack White— is a boy, and I will never retract my words. I'll give you ten million when the time comes, and I'll never let Selena part from me!" Jack then laughed out loud and said, "Alright, it's getting late now. Let's all get back in the shower, get some new clothes, and we'll all eat out tonight."

Fiona's eyes sparkled just by mentioning eating outside. They have been living a makeshift life for the past five years and Selena is restricted to finding work. He could only rely on the money he made from picking up trash for his family's life. In addition to Selena, all of their expenses are paid for with Andrew's income. Her monthly salary was not much, but she paid everything every month to allow Selena to buy groceries. They live as they save. Hence, Fiona actually felt quite happy upon hearing that.

Just like before, however, his expression turned cold as he sneered, "Are you sure about eating out? I say now, I will not accept a place that is considered low class. If you want me to come, it should only be a fancy high-end restaurant!"

"of course. As long as you want, Mom. Wherever you choose it's okay!" Jack chuckled and called two taxis. "Let's go," he spoke. "We'll be back first because Kylie and Jenny are both waiting for us. I think that little bastard should be starving by now. Tell Jenny to be at our house next time. He can help us take care of Kylie and clean the house. ."

Fiona rolled her eyeballs towards Jack. He said, "Don't call me Mom. If I hadn't seen the prize money of ten million, I would never have recognized you as the daughter-in-law of our family. Hmphh!"

Selena, on the other hand, frowned. "Jenny's pretty good, but the salary our Taylor family offers isn't too low either" he murmured. "It costs six to seven thousand dollars a month. We can't afford it!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money. It's also almost the beginning of the school semester, so we have to enroll Kylie to school right away!" Jack chuckled as he made that statement.

"Yes!" Selena nodded.

It didn't take long for them to get home in their cab.

At this time, one of the three guards in the Drake—Spectre— family rushed to look for James after receiving a phone call.
