Jay cracked a bitter smile. "Just tell me what you asked him to do for you."
A hint of triumph flashed in Autumn's eyes as she replied, "It's not a big deal. I asked my brother to release some news so that nobody will dare to buy the house from her."
Even though what they were doing was a little shady, Jay still could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
This was because he knew his brother-in-law very well. He would always go overboard, and it was considered very lenient of him to only do something like that.
At the end of the day, since Susan was going to sell her house, it should not matter too much to her who the buyer was.
As Jay was immersed in his thoughts, Autumn added, "Since the woman is so short of money, I assume that she will agree to an even lower price. This is what I'm going to do..."
With a crooked grin, Autumn told Jay about her evil plan.
Jay was stunned after he heard what Autumn said. "It will already be a steal if we get the house, so don’t you think you've gone a little overboard by lowering the price so much?"
"Overboard?" Autumn sneered. "Are are dumb? Who wouldn't want to earn more if they were given a chance? Initially, I thought the woman was some big shot or something like that since she always behaves so mysteriously. Who would have thought that she would stoop so low that she would have to sell her house? Based on this fact alone, I can assume that she must be someone of lowly birth. Perhaps she is a fancy woman and those two kids are the illegitimate children of her sugar daddy. Tsk, tsk, tsk... What an unfortunate woman. Even though she has given birth to two illegitimate children, her sugar daddy still abandoned her."
"You shouldn't talk about someone behind their back. Besides, I don’t think she is that kind of woman," said Jay as he looked doubtfully at Autumn.
He had bumped into Susan several times, and she had not seemed like a fancy woman to him.
Everything was fine while Jay remained silent. However, the moment he expressed his opinion, Autumn's eyes turned dangerous. She stood with her arms akimbo as she said exasperatedly, "Why do you have to keep speaking up for her, Jay Dunn? Tell me honestly, are you having an affair with her?”
"What are you talking about? Of course not!" Jay was dumbstruck.
However, Autumn did not believe him at all. She looked as if she had caught them in the act as she snarled out angrily, “No wonder you said hello to her when we bumped into her last time. I already felt that something was wrong at the time, and it turned out that you indeed have taken a liking to that woman! Just you wait. I'm going to get my knife and I'm going to kill her!”
Upon saying that, Autumn rushed into the kitchen to get her knife.
Jay, who was startled, hurriedly held onto Autumn. "I said hello to her because she is our neighbor. Don’t you think that you’re a little oversensitive?"
"Then why did you speak up for her just now, huh?" Autumn barked.
"It's not easy for her to raise two children alone. The fact that she is selling her house at such a cheap price means that she is really in need of money. As her neighbor, I just feel that we shouldn't kick her while she’s down...”
"You’re standing up for her! Jay Dunn, I’m going to show you who’s the boss in this house!" Autumn wriggled her plumpy body away and pounced on Jay. Then, she started showering him with punches and kicks.
Apparently, Jay had gotten accustomed to this kind of treatment, as he did not fight back at all.
He remembered mustering up the courage to retaliate once. At the time, he had accidentally damaged one of Autumn’s nails. In the end, Holden had thrown him in jail for a week on the charge of domestic violence.
When Autumn had enough of roughing up her husband, she finally rose to her feet and said with a dark expression, "Hmph, let me make this clear. You can't protect that woman, Jay Dunn. There is no one in Jerucity that the Abbots cannot get rid of. If I want her to reduce the price, she will have to reduce the price! If I want that house for free, she will have to give it to me for free!"
Holding a knife in her hand, Autumn rushed out of her house.
Jay was startled when he saw Autumn really go out to cause Susan trouble with a knife in her hand. He quickly scrambled up from the floor and went after Autumn." Autumn, come back! There is really nothing between me and Miss Shelby..."
However, Autumn paid him no mind. She dashed to Susan's house with an aggressive posture.
