Episode 6

"Absolutely correct. You are right! Honestly, I don't really like that little girl!"

Fiona nodded repeatedly, "She shouldn't even exist in the first place!"

Hearing her words, Fane felt an urge to kill them all in a single strike.

But deep inside, he reminded himself to stay calm. After all, Fiona was Salena's mother, his mother-in-law.

This was not a battlefield where he could take the life of anyone he wished. At least, Fiona and Andrew were not his enemies.

Andrew's condition was the result of his reckless actions towards Salena on their wedding night.

Their hatred for him made sense.

Still, there were outsiders present.

Fane gave a cold smile, then looked at Ken Clark.

"Kylie is my daughter. She is not baggage, nor is she a prostitute's child. You should kneel down and apologize for your words!"

At that moment, Fane paused briefly. He then continued, "If it weren't for my reluctance to defile this place on my first day back, you would be dead by now!"

"Haha, cheeky boy, am I hearing this right? Do you know who you are talking to?"

Ken Clark laughed. He then pointed towards the Bentley outside.

"I heard you were once a delivery boy. A few years of military service toughened you up, huh? You are nothing in my eyes. Do you know how much that car costs? Someone like you couldn't afford it in a lifetime,"

"Exactly, Fane, stop interfering. Take the child and leave this place!"

Fiona stepped forward, adding, "Stop meddling in the business of my daughter who is seeking her happiness!"

"Mother, unless Salena herself directly asks me to leave, I will never abandon her!"

Fane looked at Fiona with a resolute expression on his face.

"What can you compare with me? How could you possibly be fit to be with her? A person should know their own limits, right?"

Ken Clark stepped forward and poked Fane's chest with his finger, "You're just a worthless soldier who has no cl..."

Slap!

To their surprise, Fane made Ken Clark stagger back several steps with a slap, spitting out blood alongside three loose teeth.

"Ouch!"

Ken Clark cried out as his cheek burned with pain.

"Y- Y- You dare to hit me! Are you looking for death? Do you know who I am?"

Ken Clark was furious. He wanted to retaliate but was powerless.

The man before him had just returned from the battlefield.

A spoiled young master like him was clearly no match for Fane.

"Fane, do you know who he is? He is the young master of the Clark family. The Clarks are far wealthier and more influential than our Taylor family!"

"I don't care who he is. He dared to insult my daughter and harbor dirty thoughts about Salena. I have been generous by not k*****g!" Fane stated coldly.

"Fine, you are brave and tough enough. Do you dare to let me make a phone call?" Ken threatened.

"I'm not afraid even if you make 10 phone calls!"

Fane was dismissive. Trash like him meant nothing in his eyes.

"F- F- Fane Woods?"

At that moment, a melodious voice echoed from behind them.

Fane's heart trembled. He turned to see Salena, still as beautiful as before, but now dressed very simply. His eyes immediately watered.

"Salena, I'm home,"

"This is incredible. I knew it. I knew you would be safe!"

Salena's body shook and she spontaneously dropped the bag of trash she was carrying to the ground.

"It's so good that you're finally back. Our child can't live without a father!"

Salena's voice quickly returned to calmness.

Can't live without a father!

Those six simple words made Fane realize what Salena's feelings were towards him at the moment.

Right. They hardly had any feelings for one another as the marriage was just for show.

What happened that night was due to Salena's recklessness...

And as for the baby growing inside her, she couldn't bear to abort it because it was her own flesh and blood.

Just six simple words that fully revealed the helplessness in Salena's heart.

"Salena, believe me. From now on, no one will dare to bother you!"

Fane raised his hand and declared firmly, "I swear!"

"My dear, get him out of herе and take Kylie with him. He will only bring more trouble!"

Seeing her daughter return home, Fiona pulled on Selena's arm and said while crying, "Quickly divorce him. Young Master Clark has just promised that he will take good care of you and us. I don't want to see you scavenging trash again. I don't want us to struggle anymore. Living in a place like this is making us a laughing stock to others,"

"Mom, I'm sorry. I can't leave Kylie! Even if Fane may not be of any use, he's still my husband and Kylie's father. I believe if we work hard together, our lives will definitely become more interesting!"

Salena smiled bitterly, her eyes filled with resignation.

"D- D- He hit Young Master Clark right after he returned home. Look, his teeth even fell out!"

Andrew crouched on the floor out of anger and disappointment.

"What?!"

Salena saw the teeth and bloodstains on the floor. She then looked at Fane with a puzzled gaze. "W- Why did you hit him? You're too impulsive! This will cause trouble!"

"It's okay, my dear. You don't need to worry!"

Fane smiled calmly and secretly admired the woman standing before him. She remained beautiful, just as ever.

"What do you mean there's nothing to worry about? Quickly apologize to Young Master Clark. He is the most promising son of the younger generation of the Clark family and also the elders' oldest son. He is the heir and future head of the Clark family!"

"You're really in big trouble this time!"

Salena was extremely worried and pushed Fane towards Ken Clark.

"Apologize? Phew!"

Once more, Ken Clark spat the blood from his mouth. He then looked up and puffed out his chest.

"It's too late for apologies now. My father has ordered Dan Jameson to come and sort this out!"

"Dan Jameson?"

Fane appeared puzzled. Wasn't that the guy he had just beaten in an arm wrestling match? What a coincidence.

Seeing how Fane seemed puzzled, Ken Clark burst into boisterous laughter.

"What? Are you scared? Do you know who Dan is? He's the number one fighter of the Clark family who will k*** you without a second thought. He can take down two to three hundred people alone. Do you think you're so great just because you've been a soldier? Hehe\, what a fool!"

"Young Master Clark, please show some grace and let this man go. He's just a fool. Why bother with him?"

Salena stepped forward in an attempt to calm Ken Clark's anger. She felt helpless.

"I've lost several teeth, and you're telling me to let go? Are you joking?"

Ken Clark stroked his swollen cheek with fury.

"I can let this matter slide as long as you divorce him right now... and marry me instead!"

"Young Master Clark, is that really necessary? With your status, you could easily find a beautiful young woman. Why are you insisting on a married woman like me?"

Salena smiled awkwardly, "Young Master Clark, please stop your jokes!"

"Sorry, but you are just my type of woman!"

Ken Clark laughed icily, "Since you refuse to divorce him, I can't be blamed. This thug is going to die today!"
