"Bryan, what brings you to call me this late?"

Josh Barnes, donning an apron, was cooking dinner in the kitchen when he unexpectedly received a call from his younger brother, Bryan Barnes.

"Bro, I saw your wife go into a hotel with some guy!"

Bryan's words hit Josh like a thunderbolt, paralyzing him in his tracks.

"You... you must have mistaken, right?"

Josh found it hard to believe.

Today was his wedding anniversary with Evelyn Ward. He had specially prepared a lavish dinner, waiting for Evelyn to come home and share the meal.

"Absolutely not! I even took a picture!"

With that, Bryan sent a photo to Josh's phone.

In the photo, an arrogant young man, with an arm around the slender waist of a woman, was walking towards the entrance of JD Hotel.

The stunningly beautiful woman, carrying a hint of pride, who else could it be but Evelyn!

And the arrogant man around her was none other than the heir of the prominent Sandoval family in Mincolnrston, Enrique Sandoval!

Josh's hand began to tremble slightly as he mentally scrambled for excuses for Evelyn.

It need not necessarily be as Bryan saw. She might just be discussing business with Enrique.

After all, his health was not in the best condition, and Evelyn had been consistently gentle and caring towards him day-to-day.

Josh clenched his fists, struggled internally for a while, and then dialed Evelyn's number.

But no one answered!

The color drained from Josh's face, and he abruptly got up to head outside.

He had to see for himself!

Twenty minutes later, outside a luxury suite of JD Hotel.

With a somber expression, Josh placed his ear to the door and immediately heard a series of blush-inducing sounds.

"Mr. Sandoval, be gentle..."

"Don't be so rough, I can't handle it..."

"When... When will you take it off? I'm on my ovulatory period..."

As soon as Evelyn stopped speaking, a man's voice followed.

"Perfect, you can conceive my child. Hurry up and divorce that useless husband of yours."

"By the way, did you manage to get the prescription he has?"

Evelyn giggled, "Of course! Our Ward family even registered for a patent. Now, the Nine Petal Divine Pill belongs to us!"

"Mr. Sandoval, after my divorce, I'll marry you. You better be good to me!"

In an instant, anger surged in Josh!

As much as he once loved Evelyn, now he felt just as much fury towards her!

Back then, Evelyn, as the heiress of the Ward family, had broken ties with her family just to marry him, an ordinary man.

The Barnes family had been doctors for generations, and they owned a clinic; they could be considered well-off.

But compared with the Ward family, they were nothing.

At that time, Josh was deeply moved and vowed to give Evelyn a good life, but he fell seriously ill shortly after marriage. He was relying entirely on Evelyn's care, so they didn't even spend a night together.

Now it seems that everything was not as simple as it appeared on the surface!

Evelyn's target has always been the prescription in his hands!

Josh was incredibly aggrieved, no longer able to suppress the hatred in his heart, he began beating wildly on the door!

"Evelyn, you adulterous couple, come out!"

Josh roared insanely, his fists were bleeding from the pounding on the door.

Finally, the door opened.

Evelyn, wrapped in a bathrobe, appeared utterly unruffled.

She looked at Josh with the cold indifferent eyes of a stranger, "How did you find out I'm here? Never mind, it doesn’t matter."

"Since you’ve discovered us, fine, we're getting a divorce!"

This woman's heart was truly cold and cruel, just like a venomous serpent!

Josh stared angrily at Evelyn, wishing he could charge forward and slap her across the face.

"So, you married me just for the medicinal recipe passed down by my ancestors?"

Josh asked furiously.

"Exactly. Otherwise, how could I tolerate such a loser like you to be my husband? You have no idea how many times I've vomited out of disgust behind your back all these years!"

"Josh, we have obtained your secret formula."

"You are now worthless to me!"

Evelyn coldly sneered, her stunning face painted with a thick hue of contempt.

In his heart, Josh was writhing, feeling as if each heartbeat was seeping blood!

At this time, Enrique also descended from the bed, looking at Josh with a sneer, "What, you're upset because I slept with your wife?"

"Josh, you need to take a piss and see your bear-like face! Loser like you, what makes you think you have the right to compete for women with me?"

"I am Sandoval family's heir and our family has billions in assets! What about you? You’re just a piece of trash!"

"What right do you have to flaunt in front of me?"

This man, after sleeping with his own wife, still had the audacity to act so arrogant?

Why?

Just because he's the heir of the Sandoval family?

Josh was thoroughly enraged.

With an angry roar, he lunged at Enrique.

"Damn it, you dare to fight?"

Enrique immediately tangled with Josh.

Perhaps his rage unleashed Josh's potential, as he managed to bruise Enrique, the heir of the Sandoval family, his face a mess and nose bleeding profusely!

At that moment, Evelyn screamed and reprimanded sternly, "Josh, stop! He is Mr. Sandoval family, dare you hit him? Do you want to die?"

"I hit him, so what? Not only will I hit him, but I'll also hit you, you cheap woman!"

With a kick, Josh sent Enrique flying, and with two slaps, he had Evelyn, disheveled as she was, falling to the ground.

"You...you're crazy..."

Evelyn covered her swollen face, staring incredulously at Josh.

"I'm crazy, I must be crazy to fall for a cheap woman like you!”

"Enrique Sandoval, Evelyn Ward, you shameless couple should be glad you're living under the law."

"Otherwise, I'd have you dead by now!”

Having said that, Josh turned and strode away, without looking back.

Enrique, crawling up from the ground in a disgraceful manner, wiped the blood from his nose and gritted his teeth, "Josh, I won't let you off!"

Afterwards, Enrique reached for his phone, dialling a number.

"Hey, it's me, I need you to kill someone!"

"After it's done, I'll give you five million!"

"What, you wouldn't dare? You won't live for long anyway, what else wouldn't you dare to do?"

...

The Central Street in Mincolnrston.

Despite the absence of rain on the weather forecast, a heavy downpour had taken its toll on the city, the streets filled with accumulating rainwater.

Josh was soaked to the skin, in utter despair, disoriented, like a soulless husk shuffling aimlessly on the rain-soaked pavement.

Suddenly, a red Corolla whizzed towards him.

Under normal circumstances, Josh could have easily avoided the car.

But now, he simply didn't have time to react!

Crash!

A stifling sound of impact resonated, catapulting Josh seven or eight meters before he finally hit the ground.

The moment he touched the ground, crimson blood gushed out from his body, rapidly dyeing the accumulated rainwater on the street red.

"Am...am I really about to die...? I... I can't accept this..."

Josh was filled with resentment in his heart,

But his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, gradually plunging into total darkness.

Just at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly shone.

"How pitiful it is that the descendants of my Barnes family have fallen into such destitution…"

"If that’s the case, then I'll bestow my skills unto you. I hope you can effectively utilize them to revive the glory of the Barnes family!"
