Brooke was still angry. "Even if your brother-in-law is wealthy, he belongs to your sister, not us. And they're not married yet, how can you be so presumptuous?"
Brooke didn't correct Dennis's words but instead continued along with what he said.
Damn, it seemed she really saw me as a future son-in-law.
This situation was really getting out of hand.
Without even a kiss, I suddenly had a girlfriend, a paralyzed mother-in-law, and a useless brother-in-law who was a burden!
How could I reason with this?
"What's there to be embarrassed about? He's already slept with my sister, and now can he renege on the deal?"
"Dennis, you shut up!"
Lucy's chest heaved with anger, and her face flushed. She was not sure if it was from anger or embarrassment.
Dennis wouldn't stop talking. He approached me and said, "William, now that we're family, can you stand to see us living in such conditions? It's freezing in the winter, boiling in the summer, and the security here is just terrible..."
