The Abandoned Husband Dominates

Chapter 382: My Father Is Not A Good-For-Nothing!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lauren didn’t expect to receive a slap from her future mother-in-law when she hadn’t even officially married Chris yet!

Even when a girl from an ordinary family would be treated with respect and courtesy by her fiancé’s parents when she goes over to his home for a brief stay.

Besides, Lauren came from an esteemed music and yet, Chris’s mother actually had the audacity to slap her!

Lauren rarely threw her weight around as the heiress of the Howards, but at this juncture, she had no choice but to mention it.

“I’m at least a Howard. How dare you treat me like this? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell my family about it!?”

However, Chris’s mother humphed coldly and exclaimed, “Don’t try to intimidate me with your family. To be honest, I gave you that slap on behalf of your mother!”

“That punk Jordan Steele beat your brother up to the point of becoming crippled. He can never practice martial arts again in the future. Your mother is so distressed that she can’t even sleep at night. Yet, you’re being all lovey dovey with that culprit all day long.”

“Before coming here, your mother specially instructed me to teach you and knock some sense into you!”

Lauren’s mother, Marissa, had always loved and doted on Brad a little more because Brad was more obedient than Lauren.

Since Lauren had presumptuously decided to keep the baby and give birth to her, Marissa had been greatly disappointed, and their relationship had become extremely strained.

Lauren’s eyes were filled with tears. She didn’t expect that the mother, whom she respected the most, would actually treat her in such a manner!

Chris’s mother mocked, “Girl, you’re such an ingrate. It’s no wonder that your mother is so mad at you! You’re very magnanimous, huh? I heard that you and your brother are very close. Don’t you hate Jordan for beating up your brother and causing his leg to be injured? What a heartless and disloyal girl!”

Lauren felt extremely aggrieved. How could she not be sad about her brother being injured?

However, outsiders didn’t know that Brad was the one who made Jordan a cuckold. Given Jordan’s family background and ability, Brad would have died and not only had his leg crippled, if Lauren had not gotten down on her knees to beg for mercy.

Hence, Lauren could not blame Jordan for it and instead, had to thank him for sparing Brad’s life.

Staring at Lauren condescendingly, Chris’s mother said, “Just stay in this room until you figure it out. Otherwise, you can forget about having dinner tonight!”

After saying that, Chris’s mother walked out and instructed the two subordinates who were standing outside the door, “Keep an eye on the door. Lauren is not allowed to come out without my permission.”

“Yes!”

At this moment, Lauren’s personal freedom was restricted, and so was Chloe’s.

A middle-aged woman in her fifties was teaching Chloe to read aloud and recite the rules of the Hanks.

For example, when she sees the elders of the Hank family, she would have to take the initiative to greet them. She wasn’t allowed to eat before everyone ate either.

She was not allowed to make any noise when eating, either. Every single week, she would have to prepare a talent showcase for the important guests that the Hanks receive. She also had to remember the names of every single person she met, and make sure not to get their names wrong the next time they met again.

It took an hour for Chloe to finish reciting those harsh rules.

“I’m done. Can I go look for Mommy now?”

Chloe had been memorizing and reciting the rules for an hour. Although she had just eaten, she was totally parched at the moment.

Yet the middle-aged lady was extremely fierce and overbearing. In the last hour, she had been correcting Chloe’s mistakes and making Chloe terrified of her.

Fortunately, Chloe was taught well by Lauren. If she were to be a spoiled brat, she would have thrown a tantrum and sitting on the ground instead of memorizing those stupid rules.

However, Chloe had better endurance than other children her age.

“Chloe, come out.”

Chris suddenly called out to Chloe. At this moment, he was smoking a cigarette in the courtyard and spacing out, his mind filled with the scene of Lauren kissing Jordan the other day.

He was a prideful male chauvinist. Yet, his fiancée took the initiative to kiss another man before they got married!

To make matters worse, Lauren’s love for Jordan was so deep-rooted that even the brainwashing that lasted for three days could not succeed.

In the future, Lauren might just sleep with Jordan!

“That damned Jordan!”

Chris had already smoked four cigarettes in a row, and every time he thought of Jordan, he wanted to skin him alive!

“Uncle Dominic.”

Chloe walked outside the courtyard obediently and stopped in front of Chris. She then called out to him.

Chris looked at Chloe, the beautiful apple of everyone’s eye. However, his eyes were full of endless hatred!

“How are you so pretty, you little bastard!?”

Chris vented all his hatred for Jordan on his daughter, Chloe.

He threw away his cigarette and said to Chloe, “Chloe, from now on, I’ll be your father and you’ll be a Hank!”

“Regardless of gender, all the Hanks’ descendants have to learn martial arts and join the military. This is a tradition that has been continued for hundreds of years!”

“So, from today onwards, you have to start practicing martial arts too!”

Chloe was so naive and innocent that she thought it was something fun and immediately clapped her hands happily. “Sure, my daddy said that he’d teach me martial arts too! Daddy is really impressive! He has killed a cheetah before!”

“Bullshit!”

Chris flew into a rage the moment he saw Chloe praising Jordan.

Chris had been to various harsh places in the world and had witnessed cheetahs hunting with his very own eyes. He watched the way cheetahs ran like sports cars and fought aggressively. Till this day, he would still shudder whenever he thought of the scene of a cheetah’s mouth being covered in fresh blood!

“When you’ve seen a cheetah with your own eyes, you’ll know that your father is a piece of garbage who only knows to blow his trumpet!” Chris exclaimed in exasperation.

Chloe frowned and exclaimed, “No, my daddy won’t brag or lie to me!”

“Hmph.” Not wanting to argue with a four-year-old girl, Chris said, “Now, start learning to get into the horse’s stance. Point your feet outward 15 degrees and slowly squat down. Then, turn your toes to the front, shift your weight down, and squat down again!”

“Place your hands forward with your palms facing the ground.”

“Okay, remain in this position. Don’t move for half an hour!”

Chris actually asked a four-year-old girl to remain in the horse’s stance for half an hour!

Chloe was a relatively thin girl whose physical strength was the same as an average child. There was no way she could persist for half an hour.

Within a few minutes, Chloe felt tired and her stance was no longer standard.

Chloe had extremely strict requirements. Once Chloe’s actions were not standard, he would forcefully try to correct her posture.

Gradually, Chloe’s legs trembled, and she was about to run out of power.

“Uncle Chris, I… I can’t hang on any longer. Can I rest for a while?” Chloe pleaded pitifully.

Chris said furiously, “It’s only been a while and you can’t hold on any longer! Your father is a good-for-nothing, so you’re just as weak!”

Chloe, who had been physically and mentally tortured since she arrived at the Hanks’ home, could no longer stand it.

She burst into tears and yelled, “My daddy is not a good-for-nothing! My daddy is not a good-for-nothing!
