Luis simply didn't have the courage. He was used to the ordinary life of a common citizen and didn't possess such a fierce temper; he just wanted to settle matters peacefully and avoid getting involved in these kinds of wealthy family disputes.

If anything, Luis was even angrier at that damned lesbian for being so self-righteous, always trying to use others as weapons. She was far more sinister than David and was more likely to disrupt his life.

"Mother, about this matter, honestly, I'm just as baffled."

Luis said in a tone mixing amusement and exasperation, "I just returned from the police station and have already signed the compensation agreement."

"The whole story is rather absurd. That kid was seeking revenge, but not targeting us. His actual enemy was someone who drives a Cayenne and lives in the second phase of the neighborhood."

"However, that idiot went to the first phase, saw our family's car, and smashed it without even knowing the license plate number."

"The property management called the police. It was only when I arrived that I realized it was a huge misunderstanding."

Hearing this, Ruth's anxiety instantly vanished, and her voice grew louder as she said,

"I knew it! Our family are just simple, honest folks trying to live our lives; how could we possibly offend anyone?"

"Those gossipy bitches, each spreading rumors with such conviction. Damn it, the phone kept ringing nonstop, it really scared me."

"Those rich people are just too bullying. How did the police handle it on their end?"

Once her emotions eased, his mother-in-law, Ruth, launched into her nagging mode, her little mouth chattering away like a machine gun without pause.

Now, in bed, she was as docile as a lamb, having been thoroughly disciplined by her son-in-law, but at her core, she remained a shrew.

She was the type to push her luck and never concede an inch when she felt she had the upper hand. Fortunately, her nature was still to bully the weak and fear the strong. Even though she was in the right this time, since the other party was Dominic's son, she didn't voice any far-fetched ideas.

His mother-in-law even knew the identity of the person who vandalized the car. If Luis didn't believe that Bella was fueling the rampant gossip and rumors behind the scenes, he'd be a fool.

"Mother, your son-in-law isn't someone to be trifled with either. I just had someone arrange a face-to-face meeting with Dominic."

Luis immediately reassured her, "He has already compensated us."

"Compensation? How much are they paying to repair the smashed car? What about depreciation? How is that calculated? A perfectly good new car, smashed for no reason at all."

"Besides, this incident has spread like wildfire throughout the community. What about our face?"

Luis knew his mother-in-law's character all too well. She was sharp-tongued and petty, the type who would climb onto your face if you gave her an inch, always nitpicking and never letting go once she gained an advantage.

Luis chuckled softly and said, "Mother, don't worry. It's not just compensation for the repair costs. They've paid us the full value of the car to buy it outright."

"On top of that, there's an extra 10,000 dollars as an apology."

"Really?"

Ruth was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Without another word, Luis took photos of the entire transfer record and the signed settlement documents and sent them over.

Seeing these, Ruth immediately straightened her back with confidence, but still asked to confirm, "The money has already been paid??"

"It's all settled. We just need you to come back at some point to complete the formalities so he can transfer the ownership."

Hearing this, Ruth's tone instantly rose several notches, and she immediately beamed with joy, saying,

"My son-in-law is truly remarkable! I always said our family would never encounter such nonsense."

"It's all those bitches spreading rumors. Hmph, I'll call each one of them later and give them a piece of my mind until they're covered in shame."

After explaining the whole story, Ruth suddenly felt her confidence surge, and her voice grew even louder.

In her view, this was a tremendous boost to their prestige. In the past, her family was just ordinary common folk; simply hoping for a life free of illness and disaster was already considered fortunate.

Offending Dominic would have been an absolute catastrophe. For ordinary people encountering something like this, suffering fewer losses would be considered a win. But her son-in-law was truly capable.

Not only did they get the full value of the car reimbursed, but they also received an extra 10,000 dollars in compensation. How impressive would that sound when spoken about?

Mother-in-law Ruth was an extremely face-conscious person. Ordinary townsfolk actually understood these social dynamics quite well, and she was capable of reinforcing certain psychological impressions on her own.

"Mother, actually, we gained even more."

Luis continued to guide her thoughts, "Our Cayenne had several scratches already, not to mention that beat-up second-hand Nissan. Dominic compensated us based on the full purchase price, saving us a huge amount on repair costs."

"Haha, I knew my son-in-law was capable!"

Ruth immediately burst into hearty laughter. This explanation made her even happier.

Just after pacifying her, Luis immediately received a call from Nancy. On the other end, she exclaimed in utter surprise, "Brother-in-law, why is our car gone? I heard from the property management it was vandalized, is that right?"

"You're really well-informed!"

Remembering his sister-in-law's devilish curves, Luis felt an intense surge of lustful thoughts. He asked with a lecherous grin, "Still not asleep so late? Where are you???"

"What do you mean 'so late'?!"

Nancy also detected the lewd intent in her brother-in-law's voice and quickly reminded him, "Your brother-in-law and I just finished discussing matters with someone. He said to invite you out for a meal together."

"Brother-in-law invited me???"

Luis wore an expression of complete astonishment.

Even though the System's Persona tags had already been applied to his brother-in-law Daniel—labels like "cuckold," "cuck," and "homosexual."

Logically, now that things had taken such a depraved turn, Luis should cherish the existence of this System item and carefully consider how to use its attributes for his own pleasure.

However, ultimately, normal human thinking tended to be influenced by preconceptions, and coupled with Luis's previously more decent character...

Firstly, his interest wasn't that intense, and secondly, he was too timid. Although he had fantasized about it, he had never mustered the courage to act on those wicked and vulgar ideas.

Most importantly, he hadn't officially engaged in a physical relationship with his sister-in-law yet, so he lacked the confidence for it.

"Right now... it's only four in the afternoon."

Luis checked the time and felt something was very off. Had these two lost their minds?

"Yes, I was thinking about whether to go to the beauty salon..."

"I actually have something going on here. It's really necessary for you to come over."

Hearing this, Nancy said warily, "What are you up to? I've had a cold these past couple of days and don't feel too well. Don't you dare get any bad ideas about me, you little pervert."

Only then did he notice her somewhat nasal tone; she really did seem unwell.

"Looks like you need my warm embrace..."

"Go to hell! Who needs that? Go find your Chloe, you filthy pervert."

After a bit of playful banter, they arranged to meet at his teacher's wife's law office. Nancy agreed without giving it much thought.

Teacher's wife Winslet was not there.

However, she had already instructed her apprentice to prepare all the various documents required for the vehicle ownership transfer.

After all, the car was registered under the sister-in-law's name, so her signature was necessary.

After drinking tea and waiting for a while, his sister-in-law Nancy arrived gracefully. She was wearing a pair of white skinny jeans and a simple black short-sleeved shirt. It all looked very plain and ordinary, definitely not name-brand.

However, her figure was even more tall and alluring than a model's, so perfect that she could make even a burlap sack look incredibly stylish. Ordinary market-stall clothes became a merciless, overwhelming contrast when worn on her.

Carrying a designer handbag and wearing subtly luxurious jewelry that wasn't over the top, honestly, even if she were completely naked without any adornment at all, she would still be utterly captivating.

That icy, mature aura made her seem unapproachable to strangers, though of course, if you knew her, you would realize she was also an adorable airhead.

"That car really got smashed!!"
