Chapter 930 - 911: Taking the Bait
"There’s someone supervising, I can’t do that. Besides, even if we measure a few extra square meters, it would be better for your sister and brother-in-law to get a fake divorce. Your sister could directly get an apartment."
"What if my brother-in-law refuses to remarry my sister after they divorce?"
After all, the Rafael Family is much better off than theirs, Milton Hopper didn’t want to go back to those tough days.
"Your brother-in-law’s family is very rich?"
"They’re okay."
"I thought they were millionaires. Are you stupid? If they don’t remarry, so be it. Once the village is demolished, your family will be rich, just let your sister find another one."
"Brother, are you sure our village is really going to be demolished?"
The man immediately pulled a long face, "Consider it as if I said nothing!" and ignored Milton Hopper afterward.
But Milton Hopper kept it in his heart.
Milton Hopper had been spoiled since childhood, didn’t do well in school, didn’t work, and never made a penny, just living off his parents and sister. Later, he fell in with some petty hoodlums.
Milton Hopper glanced at the man a couple more times and noticed that his attire didn’t look poor, which made him believe his words even more.
Milton Hopper thought to himself: Why would this man lie to him? It seems this thing is true.
Milton Hopper started to scheme in his mind.
...
Marvin Rafael got Milton Hopper out of the detention center. Milton Hopper was filthy and reeked of body odor, and when he spoke, his breath was foul. Marvin Rafael quickened his pace, distancing himself from him.
"Brother-in-law, thank you so much this time." Milton Hopper said with a grin.
Marvin Rafael said, "To get you out this time, I spent all the money we had to pull strings. Even sold the BMW. From now on, you’re on your own. If you cause trouble again, I can’t save you."
"What, you even sold my BMW?"
His BMW? It was clearly Marvin Rafael who bought it, but it somehow became Milton Hopper’s? Marvin Rafael sneered internally.
Indeed, since he married Ashley Hopper, to the Hopper Family, everything he had was theirs.
Marvin Rafael just hoped to rid himself of the Hopper Family as soon as possible.
"The house is sold too. The new owner will move in a few days. If you have anything inside, pack it up quickly."
"..."
"Your sister and I are moving to the old house. You and your family go back to Hopper Village. The old house is small, can’t accommodate so many people," Marvin Rafael said.
"The villa is gone too?"
"Yes!"
"Brother-in-law, how could you do this?" Milton Hopper never considered the fact that without selling the house and the car, he couldn’t possibly get out of the detention center.
"Then what do you expect me to do?" Marvin Rafael stared at Milton Hopper, retorting.
"..."
"Your sister and your family kept pestering me to get you out, so I did. Now you’re complaining. If you think I’m meddling, go back to the detention center and stay there."
Marvin Rafael was fed up with the Hopper Family. Previously, for the sake of his son, he could bear it, but now he could not.
If Sienna Johnson hadn’t asked him to first deal with the Hopper Family, Marvin Rafael would have already pulled the plug and ignored them.
Marvin Rafael got into his East Wind SUV and left Milton Hopper behind.
The SUV kicked up dust, leaving Milton Hopper dust-covered. He stood there stunned for a while. Once the SUV disappeared from sight, he realized he didn’t know how to get back.
"Brother-in-law, wait for me!"
Milton Hopper chased after, but Marvin Rafael did not wait, and Milton Hopper’s two legs naturally couldn’t catch up to a car.
"Brother-in-law..."
...
The small villa was sold, and Milton Hopper didn’t go back to the Rafael Family; he went straight to the hospital, where the Hopper elders, seeing their son, hugged him and cried.
"Son, you suffered so much, boohoo..."
"..."
"Did they not feed you, look how thin you’ve become? Did they hit you?"
"Son, are you okay?" Ashley Hopper looked at her brother, also tearful.
"Let’s not talk about this now, I have some good news for you all." Milton Hopper said excitedly.
Everyone stopped crying and looked at Milton Hopper in confusion, "What good news? Did you get the medicinal material factory?"
"The medicinal material factory, the medicinal material factory, that’s all you think about. The medicinal material factory is good sure, but it’s hard-earned money.
The good news I’m talking about is a huge one."
Jenny glanced at her brother, "Alright, stop being mysterious, tell us, what’s the great news?"
Milton Hopper, with a mysterious air, surveyed the hospital room to ensure it was just family, then walked to the door, checked the hallway, saw no one, closed the door, and only then shared the information he had gathered with the family.
"This time, my going into the detention center turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Let me tell you, I met a developer there who said that our Hopper Village is going to build a film studio, so the whole village will be demolished.
Mom, Dad, Sister, we’re going to strike it rich. Haha..."
The Hopper elders were somewhat skeptical, while Jenny was excited but held onto a sliver of skepticism, asking, "Is the information reliable?"
"It’s reliable. One hundred percent reliable."
Jenny asked, "How did the developer end up in the detention center?"
"**** got caught by the police, his wife at home is a fierce tiger, and he didn’t dare let his family know, so he said he was on a business trip, planning to stay a few days and then come out...
This time, it was truly a blessing in disguise for me."
"..."
"Mom, didn’t you have my fortune told when I was little, saying I’d have a life of wealth and status? See, that fortuneteller was right. Now, I’m about to get rich, aren’t I?" Milton Hopper said with pride.
Mother Hopper, superstitious, now fully believed her son’s words, "That’s right, that fortuneteller was quite accurate. Son, you are destined for wealth and status. See, even being in the detention center couldn’t stop your good fortune."
"That’s wonderful." Ashley Hopper also felt happy for her brother.
Milton Hopper looked at Ashley Hopper, lying on the bed, wearing a hat, and said, "Sister, you have to help me with this."
Ashley Hopper spoiled this brother of hers the most, and upon hearing his request, she unhesitatingly said, "Ok, say it, what have you wanted that I haven’t given you since you were little?"
"Sister, you need to divorce your brother-in-law."
"What?" Ashley Hopper screamed in surprise.
"Sister, the developer said the more people we have, the more houses we get. If you divorce your brother-in-law, and move your residence back, you’ll also get an apartment. Apartments are very valuable now," Milton Hopper encouraged.
Jenny asked, "Then can I get an apartment too?"
"Of course! Everyone gets an apartment! Big sister gets one, second sister gets one, dad gets one, mom gets one too! In the future, we’ll all be city folks," Milton Hopper fantasized about a beautiful future life.
"That’s great, I’ve always wanted to live in the city, I never wanted to stay in this countryside place," Jenny had always longed for city life.
