My brother-in-law My husband
Chapter 50

"Do you like those two mediocre bastards? Seriously? Sister-in-law, your taste is greatly decreased. You can rate my older brother as your husband for eight years, and now you like ... random men you can find on the street?"

"I—I never—"

"If you really want to find another man, I can introduce you to one of my friends" Marco said grimly.

"One of my friends is ten years younger than you. She is 25 years old, single, from a generation of wealthy families, and a CEO who built her own entertainment empire! Heck, that guy would be a lot better suited if you wanted to."

Catherine was a little offended that Marco was going to introduce her to another man. He had no more love to spare for another man. He just wants to be free himself.

Moreover, the man as Marco mentioned was very similar to him. Which was definitely not suitable for a simple woman in her thirties like her.

The young man will be adventurous, perhaps a high-class playboy with a lot of side girls. He thought Marcell was a serious and stable man in his youth who would commit to one relationship, but that was not the case.

Now, he imagined someone with the same strength as Marcell, only younger and probably more handsome…

There is no way a man like him would be faithful.

*****"

'Wait, why am I still thinking about it? I told myself not to fall in love twice, ' Catherine realized from her crazy idea. He told himself to wake up because he didn't live in a novel.

No young CEO with a strong background wants one. It's all just a fairy tale. So he had to wake up and face reality.

Catherine judged Marco, who was upset, ready to attack for the second time.

So he immediately took precautionary measures;

"I'm— I never said I liked them.." replied Catherine. "They approached me while I was preparing your lunch. I tried to push them, but they kept bothering me until one of them wanted to touch me."

"What happened to beating that? I hit them, maybe one or two broken bones. They can go to the hospital as long as possible because I fired them" Marco replied.

Marco watched Catherine from head to toe and began to scold her;

"You idiot, brother-in-law. You can shout faster, so I'll be notified sooner! Don't you realize how great you look? You curled up like a rat in front of those two bastards! Shit, thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

"A—Are you angry that they tried to touch me?" Catherine asked doubtfully. Based on Marco's character, he shouldn't get angry when someone touches him. Because he did the same to her, only with payment.

Or so he thought…

"What—" Marco's eyes widened for milliseconds before he looked even angrier than before. "I don't care about you! I'm just upset because you're acting like a cornered rat! That's why I vented my aggravation by beating them both!"

…

'That makes no sense.' Catherine began to ponder. 'If he's mad at me, why would he beat up someone else?'

Marco felt Catherine doubted the reason, so he added, "Don't think too much about it, sister-in-law. I don't give a shit about you. I bought you money, and that's all it's gonna be." ."

"I see," Catherine replied briefly, sensing there was nothing wrong with her statement.

Once again, Marco should be happy because Catherine knows the place. But he was not happy, "And why are you asking me not to defeat them? Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

"Ah—of course, I thank you!" Catherine nodded seriously. "But I don't want you prosecuted. You have helped me more than enough. I don't want to be your burden…."

Marco was silent for a moment. He was ready to shout at her again, but his bubbling anger appeared and disappeared as if it had never happened in the first place. He slumped in the executive chair and looked away;

"Silly, you underestimated me, brother-in-law," Marco said. "I'm much better able to take care of you and your daughter. Moreover, dealing with two useless people who want to sue me. The only thing they will get is a prison sentence. The law is for the rich to play around."

'I know that one.' Catherine thought. 'That's also why I can't process my divorce papers with Marcell. Because without Marcell's consent, he could have reversed the law until the judge declared me the wrong side of our divorce trial.'

Catherine knew that she had always been under Marcell's grasp. Wherever he goes.

He could live alone in the middle of nowhere as long as he could get away from her. But he didn't want to give his daughter to Marcell. That bastard will only damage his beloved daughter.'

"That's a relief. I don't want you to get in trouble because of me" Catherine said softly. Marcell always told him that he was a burden. A woman is always a burden to the man, especially when he is fat, ugly, and unwanted.

Marco probably thought the same thing about him. That was why he tried hard not to be a burden more than he was ruining the scene.

"K—You're a promising man. You have a lot of things ahead of you. Such a setback is not good" Catherine said anxiously.

Marco looked at Catherine, trying to sense her true intentions. He knew that his brother-in-law was a snake. He acted like he cared about her, but all he really cared about was money.

It was the true nature that Catherine showed him when she was young. He is willing to play the long game if he gets the money he wants.

However, Marco would not lie that Catherine's acting was the best. That almost convinced him.

Marco turned around, so he didn't need to look at her face, "Stop acting like a pure girl. I have no problem dealing with them, nor do I have a problem with the law. Leave me alone now. . You piss me off."

Catherine was a little saddened that Marco called her annoying. But it's given, knowing she's just a lady's placeholder in her heart.

"Okay, thank you, Marco. Can I just go back to our house?" Catherine asked, then she realized her mistake and quickly corrected her question, "I—I mean, can I just go back to your apartment? I haven't cleaned your room yet…."

"... You can do anything."

Catherine thanked him once again before leaving Marco's office.

Marco was alone now, sitting dazed while holding the armrest.

“That woman, she is dangerous,” muttered Marco. "He really knows how to play. It's only right that my older brother is hooked until he likes it."
