Chapter 168
Betty stomped her foot and shot an exasperated look at Dario. “Are you out of your mind? Are you drunk or something? One moment you’re clear-headed, and the next, you’re all blurry. If you’re not leaving, then we are!”
Dario pointed menacingly at Betty and Samuel. “None of you are allowed to leave. With me here, what’s there to be afraid of, anyway?”
Nathan could feel a headache building. If the commotion continued, Suzanne would probably wake up. Having such troublesome family members was truly pathetic. Nathan took out his phone and sent a message.
Meanwhile, Dario continued making a scene in the living room for a couple of minutes until Cole walked in with a few strong-looking soldiers. They were armed with rifles and advanced toward Dario with stern expressions.
Dario snapped out of his agitation in an instant. His legs ga and he dropped to his knees, trembling. “I-I’m sorry, s-sirs, I…”
Samuel was also visibly shaken. He quickly helped Dario to his and whispered, “Dad, let’s go.”
“Okay… H-Help me, I can’t feel my legs,” Dario mumbled.
Betty rolled her eyes at Dario and reluctantly helped him leave.
Nathan leaned against the couch with his hand on his forehead and quietly observed the three of them as they walked away.

Only after ensuring no one was following them did he sigh and resume boasting, “I never expected my son-in-law to be a general at a military base. He has guns, did you see that? They had guns.”
Betty shot him a glare and muttered, “This mess is your fault, you rascal! What are you trying to prove? We could have been fine, but you had to ruin it and make things awkward with your son-in-law.”
Frustrated to the core, Dario couldn’t hold back his anger and started hitting Betty. His fists kept landing on her as he bellowed, “You just won’t stop nagging! Look at our daughter-she’s got a great husband, but I don’t see any good coming my way. I’ll knock some sense into you, you bitch!”
Betty shielded her head as she tried to escape. When there seemed to be no way out, she began struggling with Dario.
Meanwhile, Samuel stayed unfazed. It wasn’t the first time he had witnessed his mother endure physical harm. Realizing it wasn’t a life- threatening situation, Samuel didn’t dwell on it.
Instead, his thoughts were consumed by finding ways to gain advantages from Suzanne. He even considered the possibility of securing a government position through Nathan’s status. A sly grin crept across Samuel’s face as a devious plan took shape in his mind.
Betty was being mistreated by Dario in public. However, Samuel casually walked away while whistling a tune..
Hurting and feeling desperate, Betty cried out, “Help me! Samuel! Why aren’t you doing anything?”
After Dario was done letting out his anger, he grumbled and walked away, leaving poor Betty battered. FindNovel.net
She wiped away her tears, struggled to stand on her shaky legs, and called Suzanne while sobbing into the phone. Fortunately, Suzanne picked up right away.
In a troubled voice, Betty cried, “Suzanne, your horrible dad hurt me again…”
She sniffled “Suzanne, please help me! I can’t go on living like this anymore!”
For as far back as Suzanne could remember, which covered three years in her memory, Betty frequently spoke on the phone about Dario hurting her.
Each time Betty shared her struggles, she only sought money from Suzanne for medicine. Despite it all, Betty couldn’t gather the courage to go through with a divorce. It was the first time Betty had ever asked Suzanne for help.
“Mom, where are you?” Suzanne asked with a deep sense of sadnes
