Chapter 57 57 - Karen

    ??"Long time no see, Jonathan!" A woman who looked a lot like Jonathan said while pretending to be excited as soon as Jonathan opened the door to his house.

    Seeing this woman, Jonathan was a little embarrassed while pretending to act naturally on the outside.

    "Yes Karen, long time no see..." He said as he cracked an unnatural smile. Next to his wife, Jonathan nodded to her husband, who nodded back, also a little embarrassed.

    Behind them, a fat boy with an arrogant expression on his face listened to music on an expensive headset without bothering to greet Jonathan as he looked around the house as if searching for something.

    "Aren''t you going to invite us in?" The woman asked in an arrogant voice as she glared at Jonathan.

    "Of course, please come in." Jonathan led the way for them to pass.

    As the woman entered, she acted as if she were in her own home, as did her son, while her husband acted politely and somewhat apologetically toward Jonathan,

    Seeing the three people enter, Lauren felt guilty as she came out of the kitchen to greet them, and Olivia, who had just come out of the basement with Ethan, saw these people and tried to quickly turn around to go back to the basement, but the fat boy''s gaze was quicker and saw her immediately.

    "Olivia!" He shouted excitedly as he ran towards her.

    Stopping in her tracks, Olivia knew there was no escape and turned to the boy with a sigh. "Hi Jerry..."

    Seeing Olivia in front of him, Jerry broke into a wide smile. "You look so beautiful Olivia, let me show you the games I bought on my phone."

    Saying this, the boy took out his cell phone and without waiting for Olivia to say no, he opened the screen of the cell phone and began to explain each game he had bought, completely ignoring Ethan.

    Ethan was used to this by now and just slowly walked away as he went upstairs to his room where Noah was sleeping, leaving Olivia to deal with Jerry, their cousin.

    As Ethan went upstairs, Karen was with her husband talking to Jonathan and Lauren.

    "Jonathan, I know the money I loaned you was a lot, but I need that money back now. Jerry is going on an exchange trip and he''s going to need this money for his expenses in Spain." Karen said as she looked at Jonathan with a slight smile.

    Karen was Jonathan''s younger sister. While the rest of his family were normal people, Karen grew up feeling that money was the most important thing, so much so that her husband, David, was chosen only because he was the son of the owner of a car dealership, which guaranteed her a promising future.

    Because of the family''s financial difficulties, Jonathan had to borrow money from Karen, which was only considered a possibility because he had no other option but to sell something they needed, like the car.

    Unfortunately, since he was asking Karen for money, she took it as proof that she was the right one in the family to prioritize money in her life, so the rest of the family had to listen to her say how right she was to be rich while they were poor.

    Looking at the contract in front of him, Jonathan saw that this was indeed what she was talking about.

    The contract said that the $10,000 debt he had borrowed from her would be forgiven in exchange for the inheritance rights he had.

    As he considered all the possibilities, looking at Lauren, Olivia, and thinking about Ethan and Noah, Jonathan really thought about signing the contract.

    As he picked up the pen to sign it, making Karen''s smile even bigger, a voice interrupted him.

    "Dad, stop!"

    Surprised, everyone looked at the stairs and saw Ethan coming down with a handsome young man with messy bleached hair who looked like he had just woken up.

    Looking at the boy with disdain, Karen scoffed. "Haha, now you''re even letting Olivia''s boyfriend stay with you? That explains why you can''t afford anything, Jonathan."

    But her statement made everyone look at her in confusion.

    "What are you saying, Karen, that boy isn''t Olivia''s boyfriend, he''s Noah, my son." Lauren explained in confusion.

    Hearing that it was Noah, Karen was shocked because the last time she''d seen Noah he was so fat he looked like he''d eaten someone else.

    "That''s impossible, Noah was much fatter than me!!!" Jerry shouted in confusion and anger at the room, ignoring the way Olivia was looking at him now.

    "Too bad, now you''re the only fat one in the family, Pig Jerry." Noah replied indifferently, not even looking at Jerry as he walked toward the kitchen.

    But when Jerry saw Noah talking to him and ignoring him like he wasn''t even worth his time, Jerry got angry and ran up to Noah.

    Because of his weight, Jerry wasn''t used to running and tripped on the carpet of the house, causing his headset to fall off, but he still managed to balance himself in the end and come face to face with Noah.

    When he finally looked at Jerry, Noah stared into the face of the boy who was at least ten centimeters shorter than him, crossing his arms in front of his body.

    "What do you want, Pig Jerry?" Noah asked without patience.

    Because of his physical experiences, he didn''t like to mock people like he did in his previous world, especially when it came to the person''s weight, but for people like this who came to his house to try to extort money from his family, Noah had no mercy.

    Even more so with [Krav Maga Lv 22], Noah felt much more confident to deal with anything.

    Seeing Noah with his current muscles standing in front of him and staring at him, Jerry swallowed hard and regretted trying to intimidate Noah.
