I clenched my fist and spoke each word deliberately. "I am her legitimate husband, tell her to come out and see me!"
These words immediately drew laughter from those around him.
In the crowd, a familiar figure caught my attention.
It was my father-in-law, Ronan Carpenter!
Back then, when Julia and I got married, he owed fourty-two thousand dollars in gambling debts, sold his old house in the village and creditors from all over the city chased after him.
I paid off his gambling debts and even spent four hundred twenty thousand dollars to buy him a house in the city center of his hometown.
At the time, he was extremely grateful to me and practically wanted to be my brother. As long as he spoke up, he could definitely confirm my marriage with Julia!
I grabbed him and spoke excitedly, “Dad!”
Ronan suddenly shoved me, making me stumble. Before I could even regain my balance, he kicked me hard from behind.
I was kicked to the ground and the pain kept me from getting up for a moment.
"Who are you calling 'Dad'?"
"My daughter is the wife of the president of the prestigious Schmidt Group. How dare someone like you try to claim a relationship with her?"
I looked at Ronan in confusion.
He stood beside Jacob, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at me.
"Dad, last year you broke your leg while hiking. I dropped everything at work to go back and take care of you for a whole month."
"Have you forgotten about that?"
Ronan kicked me twice more. "Stop talking nonsense! My only son-in-law is Jacob. You're just a delusional simp who couldn't win my daughter's heart!"
I was furious and immediately made a video call to Julia.
"I'm right outside the hotel. I heard you're going to have a wedding with someone else?"
Julia immediately panicked and replied, "Weren't you still busy with your business abroad? Why are you back all of a sudden!"
"Wait, I'll be out right away!"
I squinted at Jacob and Ronan, waiting to see how they would handle things after she came out.
Jacob stared at me and suddenly burst out laughing.
"I know, Julia told me about you."
"She did have a relationship with you before, which touched your pursuit."
He looked me up and down, finally fixing his gaze below my waist.
"She said she gave you a chance, but you're too short and small, even after watching two hours of videos, you still couldn't get an erection."
"That's why she's still a virgin even after sleeping with you several times."
"Hey dude, you're not even a man, what right do you have to keep bothering Julia?"
"Since she got together with me, she couldn't get out of bed every day and stuck to me every day, praising me for being amazing!"
I was furious. I stood up and punched him in the face!
"Shut up!"
Jacob was knocked back two steps, pointing at me. "This bastard dared to hit me! Hold him back, I'll make him regret this today!"
Several security guards instantly pounced on me and grabbed me.
"Break his legs! Cripple one of his hands!"
"Beat him half to death and then throw him into the street! Let everyone see what happens when someone tries to steal a woman from me, Jacob Schmidt!"
I was pinned to the ground, couldn't move and could only try my best to protect my head.
A few people's fists rained down on me and I felt a severe pain all over my body, with a smell of blood instantly spreading from my body.
I looked at Ronan, hoping he could stop them. However, I saw him find a broom, mop and stick from the corner and hand them to the security guards. "Beat him! Beat him to death! Let's see if he dares to be so ungrateful!"
In the chaos, I struggled to grab my phone and dialed a number.
