The Zander family never dreamed that things would develop as such.

They destroyed the bridge after crossing the river, but now Jace’s life fell into Augustus’s hands once again.

“Augustus, Augustus! I was wrong. I’m not a human, I’m not a human! Please help me again! Please, please help me!”

After Jace came to his senses, he knelt in front of Augustus and bowed again.

“Yes yes yes, we had a momentary lapse of judgment. Please save Jace’s life! He’s my only son!”

Joceline did not dare to act domineering anymore and knelt on the ground, hugging Augustus’s legs and begging bitterly.

Derrick also knelt on the ground and offered the bank card with both hands in fear and trepidation.

“Mr. Cross, this… This is your 50 million reward. No, I’ll give you another 50 million for a total of 100 million. Please save Jace one more time!”

Augustus snorted coldly. “You want me to save him one moment and then suddenly turn hostile the next moment. Do you think that you can do whatever you want as long as you have money?”

“No no no, that’s not what we meant!”

“Yes yes yes, that’s definitely not what we meant!”

Derrick and Joceline were terrified.

Jace’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly crawled over to his grandfather Howard.

“Grandpa, hurry up and beg Augustus to help me. Tell him to save me!”

Howard’s eyes turned red with anger and he slapped Jace ruthlessly.

“You b*stard. Even if you’re not ashamed, I am!”

Howard really wanted nothing more than to cut off his blood ties with this family.

However, Jace was still his grandson as well as the Zander family’s only heir. No matter how angry Howard was, he was helpless.

Think.

Howard knelt with a heavy heart in front of Augustus.

“Mr. Cross…”

However, Howard could not bring himself to say the words.

Augustus naturally knew Howard’s situation. “Stand up, Elder Zander. I understand.”

Twenty minutes later, Augustus left the villa.

In the end, he still saved Jace’s life, but Jace would never be able to stand again in his life. This was the retribution Jace deserved.

After this lesson, Jace and his family should probably understand how to behave.

Looking at the bank card that had 100 million in his hand, Augustus’s mood was slightly conflicted.

Back then, he dropped out of school because he could not afford to pay a few thousand in tuition fees, and he joined the Harrington family because he could not pay his mother’s medical bills of more than a hundred thousand.

Now, he suddenly had a huge amount of money in his hands!

Like many others, overnight riches were also Augustus’s dream.

Augustus thought that he would be so excited that he would go crazy when he became rich, but now that he obtained so much money, he did not feel anything much.

The only thing that made his heart ripple was that he looked forward to what kind of reaction his wife would have when she found out that he had so much money all of a sudden.

When Augustus returned home, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a smash as a glass shattered into pieces directly at his feet.

“You piece of trash, why did you come back?! You still have the nerve to come back after causing our family so much trouble?”

Liane’s heart had been holding back her anger for the entire day, but when she saw Augustus, she finally exploded.

His father-in-law, Owen Harrington, who usually did not talk much, also had a clear look of resentment on his face.

“Augustus, putting aside the fact that you’re usually useless, there was a good opportunity for your family to straighten up in front of the other relatives today, but look at what you did? I’m so disappointed in you!” 

“Dad, it’s not what you think it is. I had a reason for…”

“Enough. What’s there to talk about with that ingrate? Aren’t you very capable? If you’re so capable, don’t live in our house anymore. Get out of here! Scram!”

Liane lifted the broom and was about to drive Augustus out.

At that moment, Jeanne heard the noise and came out from the bedroom.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

“If it weren’t for him, our family wouldn’t be bullied like this. Not only was our dividend cut off, your position as director was also removed! What’s the point of keeping a piece of trash that only adds to the mess?!”

Augustus froze and looked at Jeanne incredulously. “Your position as director was removed? Why?”

“Why? It’s all because of your good deeds! If you’d obediently gone to save Doctor Zander’s grandson, how would the Old Madam be angry with Jeanne? What kind of man are you to even cause your own wife to suffer?!”

Liane was furious, but Augustus felt guilty.

He never expected that his decision would cause so much trouble for Jeanne.

“Jeanne, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

“Enough, stop talking.”

“Jeanne, don’t worry. About the dividend and your position as director, I’ll definitely find a way…”

“I told you to stop talking!”

Smack!

The sound of a crisp slap landed directly on Augustus’s face.

He froze in place.

He had been together with Jeanne for six years. Although she had always been lukewarm towards him, this was the first time she hit him!
