Chapter 1 Everything Is Lost
On the wide street of the City of Darian, a crowd of people could be seen whispering at each other as
they looked at the drama across the wide street near the prestigious hospital.
A rather gorgeousdy with a pair of bright green eyes, indicating she''s a foreigner.
At that moment, she was shouting at a fat man whose weight could easily bepared to three adult
men, and to add insult to injury, he was wearing worn-out clothes, making the gossiping crowd throw
disgusting and judging eyes at him.
Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed, as fatty Sett was pped across the face by the gorgeousdy.
"I''ve had enough with you, Sett!" She pointed at his nose. Her face brewed in rage.
"The marriage was a mistake! If I had known that you were useless and poor..... What kind of future
could you give me? I doubt you can aplish anything in life. You''re just a spineless coward who
can''t talk back to his family even after being bullied for so long! Are you even a man?" She screamed at
his face, then bit her lips in anger.
"Do you expect me to be with a worthless man like you? Dream on! You are not worthy of me, Sett! You
don''t even know how to take care of yourself; you''re nothing!" She vehemently said.
At this point, however, Sett, who was long numb, was not listening to his wife''s rants, as his thoughts
were drawn away from what happened a few hours ago.
At that time, he was about to head to a nearby grocery to apply for a part job after being kicked out of
the mall as a cleaner, not knowing that a terrible ident had ensued, as he received a call from the
police station informing him of his parents'' ident.
The shock and fear of what happened to his parents propelled him to rush toward the hospital''s
location, as he felt his beating heart bursting with anxiety.
He didn''t even pay the cab driver, as he was panicking, and when he reached the medical wards and
saw his parents'' condition, he nearly fainted.
Even now, as he nkly looked at his wife in front of him, the words of the nurse were still echoing in
his head.
"Your parents are in aa; they need immediate surgery. Please understand that we will need you to
deposit half of the amount before we can proceed with the surgery."

What the doctor said at that time was still fresh in his head.
Just then, his thoughts were abruptly pulled back as he heard his wife, She Laurel, screaming right at
him.
"Bastard, you''re ignoring me? You!" She was breathing hard in resentment. Her finger was poking at
Fatty Sett''s forehead. How furious she was when she saw Fatty Sett bowing his head without saying
anything, like a pushover.
"Sorry, my wife." Sett looked away. He didn''t dare look his wife in the eye as he felt ashamed of
himself.
Although their marriage was only to consolidate the rtionship between the two distinguished families,
it was only in name, and he wasn''t allowed to touch her. Their rtionship was not at all harmonious.
The Laurel family has recently grown in strength, and they will soon be regarded as a first-rate family in
Darian City. Originally, the situation wasn''t like this.
After all, his father, Charles Crossword, came from the Crossword Family, a rtively powerful
organization.
His father was next in line to inherit his grandfather, Francisco Crossword''s, position as the head of the
family, and even if the Laurel family would not honor the marriage after they became a first-rate family,
they would still consider his face.
But who would''ve thought that his grandfather would instead strip his father''s privilege a year ago?
Now the Laurel family has solidified its intent to not honor the marriage.
Either way, he was forced to quit college and look for a job to help support his parents, who couldn''t get
a job even when they begged otherpanies and could only pick trash on the toad side.
It was a disgrace to their name. Everyone mocked them. Also, since his younger sibling needed to
attend high school, he needed to earn money.
As time went on, he became a useless fat guy who everyone made fun of.
At the age of twenty, the year he was supposed to be an intern with a bright future ahead of him,
fate decided to y a joke on him.
Now, all he could see was his already bleak future, and on top of that, his parents had an ident that
nearly killed them. It was really ironic for the once-young master of the Crossword family to end up like
this.
At this moment, he raises his head to look at his once beautiful, very gentle, and meek wife''s face. But
now? He was being sshed with venomous words.
He let out a small chuckle, angering his wife further, but he was too numb to bother and listen to her
ranting. All he could do was continue saying sorry since he still loved her dearly. He couldn''t bring
himself to hate her.
"Don''t ever call me your wife! This is all the money I can lend to you.... I felt disgusted hearing it from
you! And you dare contact me." She took out a couple of bucks from her Louis Vuitton leather maiden
bag. As she threw money on Sett''s worn-out shirt, the dors scattered as it slowly fell to the ground.
"Hmmph!" She felt repulsed when standing beside him. She turned her heels away as she pressed her
luxurious Bugatti''s remote control.
As the car''s door opened, she drove away without looking back while the crowd''s fiery eyes gazed at
her million-dor Buggati, leaving behind Sett with a handprint across his chubby face.
The public gossiping people''s voices started to amplify. Their judgemental eyes prickled Sett''s skin.
Some were even taking pictures and recording what had arisen.
"That fatty was dumped by that prettydy. If I were a girl, I''d do the same, because a pig should never
dream of eating swan meat." A man in the crowd smirked.
