‘Rhett, you jerk! How dare you!”
Violette, who had always been gentle and submissive, couldn’t hold back any longer after hearing Rhett’s words. Her eyes blazed with fury, and she charged at Rhett, delivering a hard slap across his face.
Rhett was stunned by the slap.
If he hadn’t been on the phone, he would have started yelling at Violette again.
Rhett quickly apologized to the person on the other end of the call, Mr. Palmer, sorry about that. My wife and kids are right here with me. You want to come here…”
Emily suddenly reached out and snatched the phone from Rhett’s hand. “Dean Palmer, right?”
Dean paused, hearing the soft, melodic voice of a young woman.
“Yeah! Who are you, young lady? Are you Rhett’s daughter?”
Such a pleasant voice made him feel a shiver down his spine.
A woman like this to settle the debt? Not a bad idea.
His tone softened considerably.
Emily spoke calmly, “I’m not, but I can make decisions. How much does he owe you?”
“Five hundred thousand dollars! No, it’s been a day, so now it’s five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Are you planning to pay off
Rhett’s debt?”
Dean was genuinely curious about the woman on the other end of the call; her tone was quite bold.
Could she really have the money to pay up?
He was intrigued.
However, he didn’t realize that his words caused Violette, Atticus, and Sofia to all turn pale.
“You… you lied to me… You said it was a million dollars! I suggested selling the house, and you said it wouldn’t be enough… How could you do this?”
The house they lived in was only worth a few hundred thousand dollars. Violette’s original plan was to sell the house and borrow the rest if needed.
But Rhett had refused, saying it wouldn’t be enough anyway, and it was better to borrow more money to avoid the family ending up homeless.
Moreover, he owed five hundred thousand dollars but claimed it was a million. What was he planning to do with the extra five hundred

Rhett’s eyes darted around guiltily, but he still tried to defend himself, “It’s because of the interest. I was afraid the money wouldn’t be enough, and you would waste time. Look, it’s only been a day, and the debt has increased by fifty thousand dollars.”
“You jerk! How dare you say that? Do you think you can handle loan sharks? What else are you hiding from me?”
Once, Violette had shared sweet moments with Rhett.
She was beautiful, gentle, and had a wealthy brother.
But at some point, Rhett started to change. One day, after drinking, he couldn’t control himself and hit her when she tried to care for him.
Emily wasn’t asking Rhett to pay off his debt. She wanted Violette to see his true colors and gather the courage to divorce him.
She continued speaking to Dean on the phone, “Please wait there. We’ll be right over.”
Dean raised an eyebrow, eager to meet the people on the other end.
“Alright, I’m in a good mood today. I’ll wait for you,” Dean said with a smile.
Emily hung up the phone and released her foot from Rhett’s.
