Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 17

"Daddy, as you see, I have been well-behaved recently. I have not caused any trouble for a period of time except for getting that woman pregnant. Also, I have tried to solve the problem independently by giving that woman a lot of money. However, I did not foresee that her family would be so greedy. I don't have enough money to meet their huge demands because you haven't given me money recently."

Not long ago, Henry had frozen Winner's bank account in case he got into trouble outside home. Consequently...

Winner was unaware of the severe situation he was in. He still believed that his father would treat him the same as before. Although his father appeared to be indifferent to his situation, Winner was confident that his father would help him clear the mess without complaint.

"Daddy, you can rest assured. I promise you that it would be the last trouble caused by me. After the matter is settled, I will return to the company and support you with all my heart. What do you say? How about it?"

Winner had not paid any attention to his father's expression as he rattled on. If Winner had studied his father's expression, he would have been startled. Henry looked as somber as the gloomy day before a storm came.

"Winner, stop talking!"

Aware that something was wrong, Joy was more observant of her husband's expressions. She knew that Henry had a bad temper and in his current state of mind, Henry would not be very forgiving. She quickly grabbed the corner of Winner's shirt and tugged at it. It was obviously a signal for Winner to shut up.

Winner didn't understand why his mother had grabbed his shirt. So he glanced at her, and complained," Mom, you need to help me persuade daddy. That woman's family members are all barbarians. Her big brother came to me with an axe. If I don't give him the large amount of money quickly as he has asked, he will definitely kill me."

Joy glanced at her husband and was scared by Henry's outraged expression.

Considering all the trouble Jean had caused and Henry losing out on the land he so desperately wanted, Joy knew that her husband would not have the patience to deal with their unreliable son, Winner.

"All right, shut up!" Worried about Henry's temper and annoyed with Winner's lack of respect, Joy flew into a rage and shouted at her son.

"Mom, what's up? Did something happen?" Joy's reaction stunned Winner. Although confused, he was curious about why his family was behaving like this.

Whenever Winner had gotten into trouble in the past, his father always taught him a lesson before helping him. But why did his father become so indifferent to his dilemma today?

"I will help you solve the problem. But you need to leave right now. Your daddy is trying to deal with much more important issues."

Winner had intended to question what issue was annoying his father. However, when he noticed his father's cold expression, Winner was too scared to speak.

He stood in the study, motionless and silent.

Joy was afraid that Henry would unleash his fury on Winner. So, she smiled and tried to pacify her husband. "Henry, Winner has already admitted to his fault. He also seems determined to turn over a new leaf. Please forgive him. What he wants is only a small amount of money from us. If you don't want to help him, I could use my personal money to help Winner get rid of the woman's family. Put your mind to rest."

Personal money?

Henry suddenly raised his head and glared at Joy. He had not expected that Joy had personal savings.
