"Natasha, you worthless bitch! You actually had the guts to come back here?"
The moment Natasha and Andrew stepped into the Langley residence, the family erupted in rage. The one shouting was Jim Langley, the eldest son, with shifty eyes and a greasy, lecherous face.
Jim was Margaret's firstborn and Benjamin's uncle, second only to Margaret in authority within the Langley family.
At his command, more than a dozen young men from the clan rushed out, baseball bats and metal pipes in hand, surrounding Andrew and Natasha.
With a mocking sneer, Jim barked, "Since you've come crawling back, you'd better be ready to face family punishment! Natasha, Mom already gave me the right to deal with you. If you know what's good for you, get on your knees and beg. Otherwise, not only you, but that loser standing beside you, is finished!"
Natasha replied flatly, "Jim, you're nothing but a filthy animal. Mrs. Langley Senior may be reckless and foolish, but at least she isn't truly evil. You, though… You're different. You think I don't know what disgusting thoughts you've been hiding?"
Jim let out a nasty laugh. "Disgusting? You dare say that about me? You're the one who ran off and hooked up with another man! If anyone here is filthy, it's you!"
Natasha sneered. "I cut ties with the Langley family a long time ago. As for whether you're filthy… Do I really need to spell it out? You parade around as the family's elder, but the things you secretly wanted from me? Don't think no one noticed."
Jim's face went pale, and he shouted in panic, "Shut your damn mouth, slut! If you won't listen, then don't blame me for being ruthless! Men, drag her to Mom so she can beg for forgiveness! And as for that bastard with her, break his legs and throw him out!"
From the second Andrew appeared, Jim's gaze had been full of venom and jealousy. He could not stand the thought of Natasha being with some outsider.
Who knew how many times she had already given herself to him?
Rage boiled inside Jim as he screamed.
Like Benjamin and the others, Jim had long lusted after Natasha. The truth was, there was not a single beautiful woman left in the Langley family. His own wife was a notorious shrew, ugly as a sow. He suffered in silence but did not dare to cheat on her.
So for years, his eyes had lingered on Natasha, the widow he could not have. Back then, she had coldly rejected him, and now she dared to come back and call him a creep, treating him like some disgusting pervert.
