In the CZ Community.
Edith parked her car by the building. After wiping out her tears, Edith took a deep breath and went upstairs.
Jennifer greeted her as she got to the house, then Jennifer continued to prepare the dinner.
Amara was thinking about something happy when she noticed her daughter come home, and she quickly grabbed Edith to her side.
Edith flashed a smile to her mother and asked, âMom, whatâs up? You look so happy.â
Amara said, âWell, it occurred to me that Casey has got a huge number of wedding fund at the wedding ceremony, and he has saved it under your account. If Iâm right, you are such a millionaire now!â
Edith was shocked and said, âI thought youâve regarded as a jinx, and his money would bring us disasters. You told we shouldnât use his money. Why do you bring it up now?â
âOh my sweetheart, Money is not guilty. By the way, we should thank Casey and his money which can assure the living standard of our rest life.â
Edith leveled her mother with a confusing look and asked, âMom, thereâs something wrong with you.â
âWhat? I just figure out something. Thatâs all.â
âEnlighten me.â
âWell, just something about Caseyâs true value. Even if heâs hateful, the truth is that heâs also very capable. Heâs not that simple as we thought heâd be. Weâre do lucky that youâve married him.â
Suddenly, Amara didnât despite Casey any more.
After hearing Amaraâs comment, Edithâs face darkened as she could see that her mother thought her marriage has depended on her sheer luck.
Amara sensed the shift of Edithâs mood. Amusement started to dance behind her eyes.
âEdith, it was my bad that Iâve always wanted to kick Casey out of our house. However, now I find that he may be the best son-of-law in my life.â
âIâm afraid that your wedding ceremony is the most romantic one in the whole wide world. Plus, many people of the high society have attended your wedding, especially the people from the Davies family in the B City. Has Casey been already become the rightful heir?â
âEdith, compared with Caseyâs wealthy family, our family is merely a normal one.â
âYouâve got to know that heâll meet another woman better than you. You must hold him tight and keep him in your palm. Once he falls in love with another woman, our wealthy life will come to an end.â
It seemed like Amara wanted her daughterâs marriage to last as long as it could be.
But her tone implicated the message that Casey and her daughter werenât meant to be together, and her daughter should make him stay by all means.
Even Edithâs own mother began to tell her she wasnât good enough for Casey. Sick and dizzy, Edith felt awful.
âStop it, mom,â Edith said.
âEdith, Iâve reminded you. Donât you dare to let Casey run away with another woman.â
âEnough! Casey and I are definitely equal in terms of love and marriage. Never will we abandon each other due to the background of our families. I donât want to hear words like that again,â Edith yelled to calm down herself.
Amara was shocked by Edith abnormal reaction, but she was sure that Edith has begun to question her decision to marry Casey.
âCalm down, Edith. Are you sick or something?â
Edith rubbed her forehead and said, âIâm fine. Itâs just the too much work these days.â
Amara instantly suggested, âWell, I happen to know a shrink who just come back from abroad. Itâs said that heâs versed at mental disease treatment. Plus, heâs very healthy. What about having dinner with him and asking him to help you with your mental health?â
Edith wondered why her mother added that the shrink was wealthy, but she was too sick to ask more.
Also, she agreed that she really needed a shrink to help her out now.
âOkay, I hope it works,â Edith said.
A rare smile danced on Amaraâs lips.
âWhat about tomorrow evening?â Amara proposed.
Edith nodded.
After Edith left the dining hall, Amara found her phone and texted to the mysterious womanâ¦
âShe agreed to meet the man tomorrow evening. Your turn to arrange for it.â

On the outskirts of the S City.
The streetlights were lit in the twilight, but only a few shops were open.
It was much quieter than the downtown.
Even so, the low living expense still attracted lots of young people with a low salary.
With a certain aim, Casey walked in the street of the outskirts.
Where he was heading was the bar Freddie had told him.
The bar was located at the end of the lane. The deeper he was into the lane, the fewer people he could see.
Before long he found himself at the end of the lane. Then he noticed an old advertisement board read âBarâ, glowing in the dim light.
It seemed the bar has been here for quite long. Casey thought the local guides of Guanling would prefer somewhere lofty and luxury, but the bar just looked too old and shabby.
Yet it was quite reasonable as Guanling has been a dangerously mysterious place whose guides were all desperadoes. They just didnât belong to the high society.
Plus, the bar was merely a one of their bases, not worth more decorations.
Casey walked into the lane and pushed open a door next to him.
It was so dim in the bar. Maybe due to its unfavorable location, there were a few customers in it.
Casey walked over to the counter and gave the bartender some money, asking, âA ticket for the boxing game.â
Then the bartender unlocked the door nearby and let Casey in.
Without any hesitation, Casey got straight through the door before hearing the noisy screams.
Taking in a giant boxing ring, Casey found lots of people gathering around the ring which he had seen in other underground rings.
Maybe it was for the promotion of the booze sale. Around the ring were counters for selling booze. At the small tables sat audience drinking booze.
Casey couldnât believe that there were so many people living on the outskirts gathering here to watch the boxing game. Obviously, lacking in more interesting entertainment, almost all the nearby young people came here for the boxing game.
He did what Freddie had told him and went to find the man in charge of the ring. Heâd give the man the secret signals and the man would tell him how to pass the test to enter Guanling.
On his way he saw several tattooed strong guys drinking, among which stood Aarav.
Casey was surprised to find Aarav here in some unknown bar.
Aarav also found Casey and directly smashed his bottle of wine at the table.
âFuck! This son of the bitch made me lose my job. Dudes, letâs take him down here and now!â
Aarav was too drunk to register Caseyâs secret identity. All he knew was that it was Casey who made him lose the job. Aarav must take the revenge today.
Aarav planned to find some hitmen in the bar to beat Casey up. Who couldâve ever thought that Casey found him first.
The tattooed guys all stood up and glared at Casey.
Aarav smirked, âListen, youâre lucky to see the best boxing king here, whose nick name is Marshall.
Today heâll show you what will happen to one if he makes others lose the job.â
Casey furrowed his brows and shot the so-called boxing king with a hard look, saying coldly, âYouâd better get the fucking out of my way and continue to enjoy your fucking alcohol. Iâm not in the mood today.â
