Ronald chuckled softly, "It doesn't matter to others whether I'm around or not, but Kari can't manage without me. She's my wife, and since I made her my wife, I'll never let her suffer the slightest injustice."
Caleb was ecstatic, "You said it yourself, buddy. If you leave the Malones today, don't even think about stepping foot into our place again, even if you come crawling back!"
The rest of the Malones had long been fed up with Ronald and quickly joined in.
"Yeah, don't come back crying to us later!"
"Thinking we can't do without you? You're just a bastard, after all, getting way ahead of yourself."
"Dad, let him go. We shouldn't let him stay in the Malone family."
"You reject the woman we picked out for you, insisting on marrying someone who's nothing, thinking love is all you need. Well, if you regret it later, tough luck!"
Old Mr. Malone hadn't intended to kick Ronald out; he just wanted Ronald to back down on his own.
But who could have thought he'd actually ask to leave?
In that case, there was no point in forcing him to stay.
"Ronald, since you say you want to leave the Malones, you can't take anything with you. Not a single thing."
"Right! Return all the money and shares!"
Ronald couldn't care less about what the Malones had given him and readily agreed.
The old man summoned the lawyer to draft a disownment agreement.
According to the agreement, all assets under Ronald's name would be frozen.
Ronald glanced at the document, picked up the pen, and was about to sign.
"Wait—"
The door to the Malones' was pushed open.
It was the fiancée Old Mr. Malone had arranged for him.
She was dressed to the nines, a look of displeasure in her eyes.
"Ronald, everyone knows about our engagement, and here you are, marrying another woman at the last minute. Did you ever consider what position that puts me in?"
