To Live an Eternal Life novel Chapter 1

"We won’t give you money. Juts let that trash replace Axel Hunt to go to jail."

"Yes, not only is there no trash in our family anymore, but also we don’t have to lose one million. It makes the best of both worlds."

"What did you say? Is the trash not a human being? You ask him to plead guilty. Has Katherine Hunt agreed? Such a trash in our eyes is her good husband."

In the Hunt Old House in J City.

Everyone in the hall sneered and talked about a handsome young man.

"We have raised a dog for three years. Now, it’s the time for him to help us solve problems."

"What are you talking about? Did dogs offend you? Why do you insult dogs like that?"

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

Facing everyone's contempt, Charlie Lloyd clenched his fists so tightly.

Three years ago, he fled to J City. By chance, he got married with Katherine and lived with Katherine's parents, which was a sensation in J City.

However, it was not him who was being gossiped, but Katherine. A famous beauty in J City got married with such a wimp.

This incident became a joke in celebrity circles. Charlie also was laughed at as a useless wimp by everyone in J City.

In the past three years, he had suffered humiliation and lived worse than a dog.

Of course, Katherine had to bear more than him.

She married such a wimp. Charlie knew there were many people satirizing her, even the relatives of the Hunt Family.

But even with all kinds of ridicule from others or her family, Katherine never vent her anger on Charlie. The relationship between them was just so-so. They just respected each other.

Recently, Charlie's father-in-law, Axel, hit a person with his car. It would take a million to handle the matter. If they didn't give the money within three days, the dead's families would send Axel to jail. Today was the last day.

"Grandma, my Dad is your son. Please help him." Charlie pleaded again.

"What qualifications do you have to speak here? Besides, didn't I give you advice just now? Anyway, you are nothing. Replace him to plead guilty. Everyone is happy."

The man who was speaking was a handsome young man named Ewan Hunt, the eldest grandson of the Hunt Family.

"Ewan, you've gone too far."

Katherine couldn't bear that Charlie was humiliated like that anymore. After all, Charlie was her husband.

"Have I gone too far? Ridiculous!"

Ewan's eyebrows were sharp. He shouted loudly, "Why does our family have to be responsible for Axel's troubles? the Hunt Family is just a small family. One million is not a small amount for the family!"

"Axel could only blame himself. He killed the person. He deserved to go to jail." Someone said.

Katherine hurriedly explained, "That's not the case. That old man got cancer. He didn't have much time left, so he deliberately rushed to my Dad’s car in order to cheat money. This is not my Dad’s faults at all. It’s just my Dad is unlucky!"

"Oh, why did the unfortunate thing just happen to him? Why did such unlucky things not happen to others?"

"Her family are all idiots. The son-in-law is a jerk, and father-in-law is a fool."

"Our family can't pay this money!"

Listening to the ruthless irony of the relatives, Katherine was angry and desperate.

Today was Old Lady Hunt's 70th birthday, so everyone in the Hunt Family had arrived. Katherine's family wanted to take this opportunity to beg Old Lady Hunt to give them one million. They thought that relatives would help them.

But they never expected that this would be the situation.

So cold-blooded.

"Your family didn't make much contribution to the Hunt Family, but instead let the Hunt Family give money to you. How can this happen? Besides, today is Mom's birthday. But your family come here to ruin the birthday party. How ungrateful you are! What’s worse, you dare to ask for money!"

A middle-aged man spoke.

He was the eldest son of Old Lady Hunt, Ewan's father, Lewis Hunt. He was pointing at the gate, showing no mercy, "Get out of here. Don't embarrass yourselves here."

"Uncle, my Dad is your brother. How can you be like this?"

"Huh, he should be punished if he did something wrong. There is nothing to say. The family rules are strict. No one can break the rules." Lewis did not show any mercy at all.

The relatives were so ruthless. Katherine felt desperate.

Spencer Lau, who hadn't spoken all the time, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Looking at indifferent Old Lady Hunt who sat on the main seat, she cried out, "Mom, please help Axel. Just borrow us one million. We will pay it back."

"Yeah, Grandma, I don't take my salary anymore. I can work for the company for free."

Katherine also cried.

"Don’t be kidding. Your salary is only a few thousand yuan a month. When can you pay back one million? It would be better to use the one million to invest, wouldn’t it?"

Ewan teased. As the eldest grandson of the Hunt Family, he always disliked Katherine.

Now there was the best chance. He would definitely take the good chance to tease Katherine.

"Your family always bring bad luck to the Hunt Family."

"Three years ago, you married this wimp and then the Hunt Family has been laughed at by everyone in J City. Now, your father made such a big mistake. But your family still wants to get money from the Hunt Family. You wish!"

"Besides, I don't think you come here for asking for help."

Ewan's eyes fell on Charlie. He said, "Look at the eldest son-in-law in the Hunt Family, who has not spoken all the time. How arrogant he is! That expression on his face is so cold. See, how sharp the look in his eyes is! It seems that he looks down on us."

Hearing that, everyone looked at Charlie.

"Have you said enough?" Charlie said indifferently.

"I haven't said enough. Since you don't want to replace Axel to plead guilty, it's okay. I can give you a chance."

A sly look flashed in Ewan's eyes. He squinted and said, "As long as you kneel down and call me father three times, I will consider lending your family one million. What do you think?"

Wow!

Everyone was shocked.

The young generation of the Hunt Family secretly admired Ewan. Old Lady Hunt was here, but Ewan still dared to be so bold.

But when they thought of Old Lady Hunt's spoiling to Ewan, they all figured out.

"Since we are family, I don't want to be too unrelenting. But I can't just give you money without getting nothing return. As the saying goes, financial matters should be settled clearly between brothers. This opportunity is very rare. It depends on what you choose!"

Charlie was furious and stared at Ewan angrily.

"Wow, why are you staring at me? Are you going to eat up me?"

Ewan pretended to be afraid, patted his chest and squinted his eyes. He said, "Aunt Spencer, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. You good son-in-law seems unwilling. I can't help you. Sorry!"

Finally, there was a glimmer of hope, but it just shattered like this.

Spencer was anxious and angry. She shouted sharply, "Charlie, kneel down!"

"Mom, I..."

"You such a wimp. What dignity do you keep? Quickly kneel down and do what Ewan said."

Seeing that Charlie didn't move, Spencer rushed over and gave Charlie a slap.

Slap.

The sound was crisp and loud.

Everyone in the Hunt Family watched them with interests. They were whispering and mocking Katherine's family from time to time.

Charlie's face turned red immediately.

Katherine wanted to speak but finally she didn't say anything, just biting her pale lips.

"Our family has raised you for three years. Now it's time for you to repay our family. What are you doing? Hurry up and kneel down."

Spencer pressed Charlie's shoulder.
