If Mr. Kurt Thompson looked down on me, I had no intention of giving him the satisfaction.
 
The more Mr. Kurt Thompson desired the green porcelain bowl, the less I wanted to give it to him.
 
Revenge is a dish best-served cold.
 
But I'm not a good person; if I have the power to seek revenge, I will do it immediately without waiting.
Emma, knowing Mr. Kurt Thompson's interest in my bowl, wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to win him over. So she commanded me:
 
"Andrew, didn't you want to give this green porcelain bowl as a birthday gift to Grandpa? Give it to him now!"
 
"Just a moment ago, he said he didn't want it," I deliberately raised my voice, "Besides, you also told me not to give it to him because you didn't want to feel ashamed."
 
Emma was both angry and embarrassed, trembling with rage.
 
Mrs. Brebeca's mouth seemed to have something to say, but in the end, she kept silent.
 
Mr. Blair's family should have been happy to see me opposing my wife, but when they remembered Mike and his wife giving a counterfeit item to Mr. Kurt Thompson, their joy faded away.
 
They knew that Mr. Kurt Thompson despised receiving counterfeit items from others, let alone being exposed during his birthday party.
 
I not only embarrassed Mr. Kurt Thompson but also made Mr. Blair's entire family lose face.
 
Mike glared at me with resentment, hating me for stealing the limelight, yet not knowing how to retaliate.
 
I thought the party had lost its appeal, so I took the green porcelain bowl with me and left Tadich Gill restaurant.
 
[Ding! Congratulations, Master, you have made the members of the Thompson family lose face, increasing your attractiveness value by 2 points! Experience value has increased by 10,000 points!]
 
As I was leaving the Tadich Gill restaurant, the Rich Son-in-law System made an announcement.
 
[Ding! Congratulations, Master, the Rich Son-in-law System has reached Level 3, and you have gained two large rewards!]
 
"Please open the rewards now!"
 
[Ding! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the superpower of healing.]
 
My eyes sparkled with excitement.
 
[Ding! Master, would you like to receive the superpower of healing now?]
 
"Yes!"
 
Quickly, countless characters and symbols flooded my mind.
 
After successfully receiving this "data," I immediately gained knowledge of various materials and chemical substances that could be used to produce medicinal cures!
Even I know how to treat external injuries.
 
...
 
The birthday celebration came to an end.
 
"Mom, I want to divorce Andrew!" Emma angrily exclaimed to Mrs. Brebeca as soon as they left Tadich Gill restaurant.
 
"Andrew is so annoying, he dared to provoke Grandpa in front of everyone!"
 
"Emma, divorce is not possible!" Mrs. Brebeca exclaimed hastily. "Divorcing now would benefit that useless guy, and you wouldn't be able to explain it clearly to your grandpa."
 
"Andrew has already offended Grandpa, and I'm afraid I won't receive any more assets from him in the future," Emma said.
 
"It's because that useless guy offended your grandpa that we had to force him to apologize," Mr. Brebeca said.
 
"Grandpa never liked me in the first place, so even if I apologize, he won't forgive me," Emma said.
 
"Your grandpa may not like that useless guy, but he likes his antique bowl. If you can persuade that useless guy to give his bowl to your grandpa, your grandpa will be happy," Mr. Brebeca said.
 
Emma pondered for a while and said, "Mommy is right! We have to make Andrew give the bowl to Grandpa."
 
"Don't be delusional," Mr. Axel suddenly spoke up.
 
"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Brebeca glared at Mr. Axel angrily, asking.
 
"If Andrew was willing to give the bowl to Daddy, he would have done it during the birthday party," Mr. Axel said.
 
"I don't care, I will deal with that myself when we get home. That useless guy caused a scene at the birthday party. Why didn't you speak up against him? You're a man, you should be strong and assertive!" Mrs. Brebeca scolded Mr. Axel.
Mr. Axel pursed his lips and didn't dare to refute.
 
Later, Mr. Axel said to Mrs. Brebeca and Emma, "But why does Andrew own an antique bowl? He's just a poor young man, so he wouldn't have the ability to buy such a valuable antique."
 
"As I think, perhaps he wanted to buy counterfeit goods online, but luckily he managed to purchase genuine items." Mrs. Brebeca thought for a moment and said.
 
Emma nodded in agreement with her statement.
 
"Yeah, that could be it," Mr. Axel also nodded along.
When they returned home, I was searching for information online.
 
"Knock, knock!"
 
Emma knocked on the door.
 
"Andrew, are you asleep? I brought you some late-night food."
Before returning home, Mrs. Brebeca had asked Emma to buy a box of fried noodles from a nearby street for me to eat.
 
I was surprised to hear Emma bringing me late-night food.
 
After being "married" for so long, Emma had never even poured me a glass of water, let alone bought me late-night food.
