Assistant pursed her lips, "Mr. Malone, I've been with you for years, and I know you well. If there's ever anything you need, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always here to lend a hand."
Ronald gave a warm smile.
At that moment, the Malone household was in complete chaos.
"Now that Ronald's gone, we need to decide on his successor immediately."
Caleb wasted no time in pushing forward another son, Blaine Malone.
"Blaine has been under your watchful eye since he was a boy. His abilities and character are no less than Ronald's. He's the right choice for the successor."
Old Mr. Malone remained silent.
If there was someone reliable in the Malone family, he wouldn't have spent so much effort bringing Ronald back and grooming him with all his heart.
"Let's talk about the successor another time."
Old Mr. Malone avoided the topic.
He believed Ronald would return.
...
Kari hadn't slept a wink.
She was sitting in the living room, waiting for Ronald to come home.
It was well past midnight when she finally heard the door open.
"Ronald, you're back!"
Kari quickly got up, her eyes filled with concern, "How did it go with the Malone family?"
Ronald didn't expect her to be up so late.
He took off his jacket and walked over to her.
"You've been drinking tonight, why didn't you go to bed earlier?" Ronald felt a pang of tenderness.
"How did things go with the Malone family? Did they make things difficult for you?"
"No, I signed a severance agreement with the Malone family." Ronald saw the distress in Kari's eyes and smiled, "Don't feel sorry for me, I've wanted to leave the Malone family for a long time." "It's your turn to take care of me now."
Kari felt a twinge of sadness, but his words made her laugh, "Then you better treat me well, or I won't let you off easy!"
Ronald held her hand, "My dear wife, I'm all yours."
The term "dear wife" made Kari's heart swell, "Stay with me for a bit."
Ronald nodded.
The next morning.
Willa was somewhat nostalgic upon hearing Ronald had left the Malone family.
е
"A family where you can't even make your own decisions about marriage is no family at all. It's better that you left. Now, we can have a peaceful life, just the three of us."
Ronald's eyes sparkled with laughter, "Sounds good."
Over the past few years, Ronald had been working non-stop.
Now that he had left the Malone family, he found himself with plenty of leisure time.
He made it a point to bring lunch to Kari at her studio every day.
Soon, the whole studio knew Kari was newly married and that the couple was very much in love.
One afternoon, as Ronald was leaving Kari's office, he bumped into a client coming to commission jewelry. Following close behind was Ms. Patel.
"Ronald, now that you've left the Malone family, you've started to live off a woman?"
Ms. Patel sneered, "I thought you were more capable than that. Turns out you're just another man living off his woman."
The people in the studio felt Ms. Patel was being too harsh.
But Ronald wasn't bothered.
"My wife works hard. I'm just bringing her lunch."
"Now, who in Imperial City would
dare hire you?" Ms. Patel scoffed. "If
you want to live off a woman, you better act the part, or you'll soon replace yourself kicked to the curb!"
Ronald had previously ignored her but now she had found her chance to get Back at him. How could she
let Ronald have the last laugh?
