"What?" Cole couldn't help screaming on the stairs with his eyes wide opened.
Lemuel, who was about to step out of the parlor, suddenly stopped as well.
Though he had been prepared for the sudden notice, he still couldn't help shivering when hearing that.
"Dad, are you mistaken? Or I am?" Cole hurried to go downstairs and stood in front of Wilson.
"You are not mistaken. Neither am I. Since you didn't catch that, let me repeat it again. From now on, she is my wife and also your stepmother!"
Wilson emphasized every single word again.
"Really? What the hell?" Cole screamed again. Then he looked at Lemuel as if he was calling for help, "Lemuel, say something! Convince the old man!"
Lemuel turned around and fixed his cold eyes on Wilson. However, he was talking to Cole, "Why should I convince him? I don't care even if he died! Not to mention that he just married a young wife."
Verena smiled bitterly in her mind.
Wilson was so mad that he coughed for a while. Then he thumped on the ground with his cane, looking angry, "You little jerk!"
Lemuel sneered and then turned around to walk out of the gate.
"Stop right here!" Cole gasped angrily and then ordered, "From now on, you have to live here!"
Lemuel mocked, "Before she moves in, I don't even live here! Now you admit such a cheap one in! And you still want me to stay here? Could that be possible?"
The disdain and disgust were clearly shown in his eyes.
Verena turned her head aside and kept her head down.
Lemuel still stared at her coldly as if he wanted to see her through.
Verena flinched back. Her heart was overwhelmed by panic and embarrassment.
"Enough!" when noticing the weird air between them, Wilson huffed, "Do you still want that thing?"
When hearing that, Lemuel turned his head aside to squint at him.
"If you want it, come with me to the study!"
After saying that, Wilson headed to the study.
Lemuel strode to follow behind.
Then, only Verena and Sammy were left in the parlor. Besides, Cole, wrapped in the towel, was stills standing there.
Cole crossed his arms on his chest and looked at Verena from head to toe. Then he asked offensively, "Hey, tell me, how do you hook up with the old man?"
Verena looked at him, looking surprised, 'What is he talking about?'
