Eugene's counterattack

Chris and his family were clearly not holding back. Chris immediately approached Eugene, pointing his finger at him, "Jerk! Let me tell you, anything that belongs to our family, you better not even think about touching! Also, you've hidden marital assets, and the amount is substantial! That's a criminal offense!"

Eugene chuckled, "Are you trying to intimidate me? Just wait a moment, let me consult my lawyer." He took out his phone and called Dorothy in front of Chris, "Hello, Dorothy, someone just told me that hiding marital assets is a criminal offense. Is that true?"

"Oh, no, not at all. Alright, it's nothing, just a quick consultation," Dorothy replied.

Eugene hung up the phone, then calmly turned to Chris, "I just asked my lawyer, you're just trying to intimidate me. Let me remind you, intimidation can indeed lead to criminal charges."

Chris was trembling with anger. Eugene had been so obedient in their home for four years, why was he suddenly so arrogant and asking for trouble?

"Jerk! How dare you bully my dad!" Dash rushed over, rolling up his sleeves as if ready for a fight.

Eugene didn't even spare him a glance. Dash was just a spendthrift; he couldn't be bothered.

However, Claire needed to stay calm and smart. She stepped forward, "Eugene, don't get too cocky too soon. Even if you're acting tough now, you'll have to prove that your current money is marital assets. It's obvious. Even if you're unwilling, you'll have to cough up half of it."

Eugene chuckled, then shook his head, "Are you all very curious about how much money I have?"

This immediately made the Walker family's eyes light up with anticipation. They were all very curious about how much money they could get.

"Hehe, why don't you guess!" Eugene laughed, teasing them and making the Walker family stomp their feet in frustration.

After the family's anger subsided a bit, they reluctantly left.

Usually, Dawn would buy groceries and wait for Eugene to come home to cook dinner. They would all sit and wait, eating the leftovers for lunch the next day. Although it would be better to cook for lunch and eat the leftovers at night, they were lazy. With Eugene around to boss around, why bother cooking themselves?

Now that they were missing someone to cook, Dawn refused to enter the kitchen. Plus, "now that they had money," they decided to splurge a bit and go out to eat.

They were quite generous and chose a nearby restaurant called "Moon Palace," where the average cost per person was around 150 dollars, which wasn't cheap.

Eugene had been following behind them the whole time. Although he had dealt some heavy blows to the Walker family these past few days, the thought of being torn apart by them still made him furious. How could he calm down?

Just to irritate them a little more.

He called Dorothy again, "Dorothy, care to join me for a meal? Yes, now... Alright, I'll send you the location."

After hanging up the phone, he sent the address of Moon Palace to Dorothy.

Dorothy quickly replied, "I'll be there in 20 minutes."

Eugene then entered Moon Palace and quickly found Chris and his family on the second floor. He chose a table outside and began scanning the QR code to order food.

He ordered eight dishes, emphasizing a bit on the expensive ones.

Afterward, he waited.

Chris and his family noticed him as well, feeling incredibly irritated.

We came here to eat, and he came here too. If we say it's a coincidence, who would believe that?

Damn it!

Claire's phone suddenly rang. When she saw it, it was her good friend Morgan. Morgan was her best friend, so she answered the phone immediately. Morgan's voice came from the other end: "Claire, go to the Mysterious Mountain Forum and check it out. There is a post saying that you had an inappropriate relationship with Dr. Bruce and gave birth to Basil. This post attracted a lot of attention."

What!

Claire's expression changed, and after a brief chat with Morgan, she quickly hung up the phone and opened the forum to check.

Sure enough, in addition to the pinned post, the post "Breaking News! Dr. Bruce from the North District Orthopedics Department of Mapletree Hospital has had a long-term inappropriate relationship with Nurse Claire and has a son" also appeared in a prominent position. The popularity is amazing, with over a thousand replies!

Her body shook involuntarily and she almost fainted.

Claire forcefully composed herself and opened the forum post to check.

After reading it, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. The person who posted it had only stated the truth in the title. Inside, all the details were fabricated nonsense. How could they possibly have been intimate in the changing room? They weren't stupid; why would they do something like that there?

The question was... who spread this news?

Her gaze involuntarily shifted towards Eugene. Besides him, could it have been someone else?

She thought bitterly to herself, "I never expected this. In our four years of marriage, you've always acted so obediently, doing whatever I asked. But now, everything seems like an act!"

This wasn't a lamb; it was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Hiding marital assets and stabbing her in the back like this, what a despicable person!

So what if I had an affair and had a son with someone else?

Basil called you "Dad" for three years, and yet, you let him call his biological father "Uncle." Do you know how much that hurt Bruce?

Claire's eyes were filled with resentment. Yes, she had reached a point where she had nothing to lose.

She thought to herself, "I'll just resign! At least I can get 6 million from Eugene, so I won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life."

With determined steps, she walked up to Eugene's table and sternly said, "Eugene, I never expected you to be such a despicable person! Hmph, do you think you can defeat me with these lowly tactics? Let me tell you, no matter what, our four years of marriage were real, and the marital assets must be divided equally!"

Eugene nodded, "You're absolutely right. Marital assets must be divided equally. I completely agree. I hope you also remember that. Don't regret your words now that we're in court; I've recorded everything you just said."

"Also, you really don't need to worry about your reputation. I just wonder if Dr. Bruce cares? I heard he's about to be promoted to vice-chief. This kind of scandal might affect him, don't you think?"

This piece of information wasn't something Claire had mentioned before; it was what Dorothy had sent to him earlier.

Claire was taken aback.

Indeed, she could simply resign. But what about Bruce?

Now was a crucial time for his career.

She couldn't help but feel anxious.

Back when she was pregnant, she refused to have an abortion and decided to give birth to the child, showing how much she cared about Bruce. So when Eugene mentioned that this scandal might affect Bruce's future, she couldn't help but worry.

"You despicable person!" She gritted her teeth, "When the court judgment comes out and you bring out a large sum of money, I will make sure to return everything to you!"

With that, she turned around angrily and stormed off.

Eugene shook his head.

Evil people never reflect on their actions.

Clearly, she was the one who put herself in this situation, even to the point of setting a trap for him from the beginning, deceiving him into being Basil's father for three years. She had worked for the Walker family for four years for nothing, even taking away all of her own income. But she didn't even mention any of that. Just because her ugly secrets were exposed, she felt embarrassed and thought it would affect Bruce's future?

He chuckled to himself, thinking, "Then what about me? I'm the real victim here!"
