Chapter 7 Nobody Can Harm My Wife

• The two of them locked gazes.
• Jett thought for a while before finally saying, "I'm back, Chloe. How are you?"
• In his eyes, there were traces of being moved, excitement, tenderness, guilt…
• He was looking forward to hearing what his wife had to say to him.
• However, nearly a minute passed, and Chloe never opened her mouth to speak. She was calm and emotionless as if she were simply staring at a stranger.
• Huh? What's going on?
• Jett was stunned.
• The Chloe in front of me is clearly my wife, but why are her eyes so foreign and distant?
• The sun and the moon were constant witnesses to their love. She had used suicide to safeguard their love back then to gain her mother's approval of their relationship. Even though he had been missing for six years, she should have shown some emotion, whether it was anger, excitement, or even surprise.
• Unfortunately, there was nothing.
• Is she putting on an act?
• Did she forget who I am?
• Perhaps, she has amnesia?
• Jett couldn't get his head around it, so he said it again. "Chloe, I'm Jett, your husband. I'm back!"
• "Husband?"
• Chloe was perplexed. She wondered when she had gotten herself a husband. As she pondered it, she spun on her heel and walked away, saying, "I'm sorry, but I believe you have the wrong person. I've never met you!"
• What?
• Why is it this way?
• I need to get this figured out today!
• He followed quickly, and upon entering the house, he noticed another person present—Chloe's cousin, Bryson White.
• Bryson sat in the upper seat with the gravitas of an ancient god while wearing a pure white suit and looking extremely well-dressed.
• He'd come here today with only one goal in mind—to persuade his aunt to marry off his cousin to Huxley Lacewell, a member of one of Cleckherville's four great families.
• He had put in a lot of effort over the years, but his aunt was extremely stubborn and refused to give in. Furthermore, his cousin was also a little resistant to Huxley, so he just gave up on it until now, when his uncle's factory was about to close down, giving him another chance to try again.
• "What are you doing in here, Jett? Get out!" Janet yelled as she followed him. They had finally begun to settle down in recent years, and she did not want their lives, especially her daughter's, to be disrupted again.
• Alex White and Bryson immediately recognized Jett when she shouted.
• Alex White was Chloe's father and Jett's father-in-law.
• Bryson's heart sank when he saw Jett. That useless thing. Is he already out of prison, or did he escape?
• I mustn't let him know about all the bad things I've done in recent years. He dared to escape from prison after six years without showing any repentance. He cannot change himself; that much is obvious. He is a wanted man. I need to figure out a way to subdue him.
• The anxiety in his heart was growing as Jett approached him, but he made a conscious effort to control it.
• Bryson's face turned cold, and he said mockingly, "Jett, you escaped from prison!"
• His one sentence had set off a chain reaction.
• "What?" Alex exclaimed, realizing Jett had been sentenced to life in prison. How did he manage to come out after only six years?
• "Yes! Jett, you are a fugitive. Leave my house right now. Don't interfere with our lives; my daughter doesn't know you, nor do we. Get out! "Janet exclaimed hysterically as she pushed Jett outside the house. She couldn't get him to move an inch. Instead, she stumbled and fell.
• Immediately, a heart-wrenching cry erupted.
• When Chloe saw this, she rushed over to help her mother, but Janet just sat slumped on the ground, unable to get up. Her heart was in so much pain that she couldn't help but cry.
• "Jett, you are a bad person. Please leave. You are not welcome in our home!" Chloe yelled at Jett.
• "Chloe, Chloe, you remember who I am. Do you remember who I am?"
• Jett couldn't stand seeing Chloe cry, but when she called him, he thought she remembered him. His tone became even more emotional as hope was rekindled in his heart.
• Jett reached up with his shaking right hand, attempting to wipe Chloe's tears off her face.
• "Smack!" Chloe seemed to use all of her strength to raise her slender hand and smack Jett's hand away.
• "Get out of here, bad guy. We don't know who you are. If you keep up your nonsense, we'll call the cops." Chloe had a stern look in her eyes.
• She would not let anyone bully her family.
• "Chloe, I'm Jett. Have you truly forgotten our vows?" Jett's face was ashen, but he wasn't about to give up.
• "Go! You are not welcome in our home!" At this point, Chloe was already squatting on the ground with Janet in her arms.
• Bryson's cheeks inflated as he showed off his smug expression and licked his lips.
• "Fugitives are not welcome at my uncle's house, Jett." Bryson yelled in an arrogant tone.
• It was a fantastic opportunity. If he could assist his aunt in driving away the wretched man today, he would demonize Jett and claim that only the Lacewell family could protect Chloe. Maybe at that point, his aunt would begin to make sense of things properly and finally agree with what he suggested. Then his goal would be accomplished!
• Bryson snickered in his heart at the thought. Jett, I didn't expect you to do me a favor after escaping and making such a scene.
• In his rage, Jett's eyes abruptly became cold and showed a murderous intent.
• What made it even more ridiculous was that Bryson dared to jump out to take the brunt of the take.
• "Bryson!" Anger made Jett's voice sound hoarse and eerie, like a demon from hell. It was horrifying.
• Bryson was startled when he heard his voice. When he saw Jett's eyes, he couldn't hide his fear any longer and began to tremble in terror.
• What is he going to do?
• Kill me?
• No, he wouldn't dare commit murder. How could he do it with so many people watching?
• Yes!
• He's probably just trying to scare me.
• Bryson's heart was racing, and when he looked closely, he could see his undulating chest, which increased his anxiety.
• Jett advanced quickly. His movement was so quick that he appeared before Bryson like a ghost. He grabbed him by the collar and then whispered in his ear.
• "You were the one who almost ran over the little girl and the old lady just now!"
• "Also, don't think I'm unaware of what happened six years ago!"
• "Boom!" Bryson's mind was blown away. He was rendered speechless. He couldn't say anything for a while and could only stare at Jett in disbelief.
• "It wouldn't be wise for me to act now because Chloe and her entire family are here. Since that is the case, I will charge you interest first!"
• Jett grabbed his head and slammed it against the table after speaking. Bryson tried valiantly to fend him off but in vain.
• The sound of a dull impact followed Bryson's scream like a slaughtered pig. "Crash!"
• His head slammed into the glass table, hard and fast.
• His head was bleeding in an instant.
• "Clink! Clink!" The glass tabletop was even slightly cracked.
• After the impact, the table tilted. A teapot filled with boiling water was on the table.
• The teapot had been knocked over, and the hot tea inside had spilled directly on his face.
• The tea ran down the table, washing away the blood and slowly working its way to the wound. The scalding, boiling water entered the wound.
• The wound was violently ripped apart due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction. A closer inspection revealed the constant twitching of flesh and blood, which was truly terrifying.
• The initial wound had yet to heal, but new wounds were being inflicted.
• "Argh!"
• "Argh!"
• "My face! Jett, I want you dead!"
• "If you don't kill me today, I'll kill you tomorrow."
• Bryson shook all over and gritted his teeth in agony.
• Jett did not take him seriously. "Don't worry. I said I was only here to collect my interest. I'm not going to kill you. If you are so capable, I'm always ready to take you on!"
• "Fuck off!" He kicked him out the door after saying that.
• "Jett, you're just a guy who married into the White family. Just wait and see how I'll kill you in the future!" The voice grew further away. Bryson shouted as he fled because it was clear he didn't dare stay any longer.
• He beat Bryson away in front of the three. They were staring at him as if he were a demon.
• He beat Bryson away in front of the three. They were staring at him as if he were a demon, especially Alex and Janet. They couldn't believe Jett had turned so vicious.
• Janet immediately hugged Chloe, fearing for her daughter's safety.
• Jett's heart was as transparent as a mirror. "Dad and Mom. Don't worry. I'm not going to let anyone hurt Chloe or you. I know you've been through a lot in the last six years. This time, I returned to look into the matter."
• "I'll also get to the bottom of why Chloe turned out this way. Nobody in this world can ever harm my wife again!"
