Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women

Chapter 681  Father And Son Conflict

Ruth stepped aside for a moment. The young couple wiped off the massage oil, got dressed, and went downstairs with her.

Normally, their card games ended at midnight, but today they finished a bit earlier because someone had to leave unexpectedly due to personal matters.

Originally, everyone would have just gone home, but now Yana had become unexpectedly generous.

In the past, she had lived rather frugally, but now that her household had a steady backbone, she was much better off financially. As soon as the game ended, she started calling out, insisting on treating everyone to a late-night snack.

As a newly minted landlady, Yana was a very responsible landlord. Even though that Northeast-style barbecue place was doing great business, she still made a point of going to show her support.

The tenants were so moved they could almost cry. Yana worried about them like a real mother hen.

At first, when they just opened, everything was chaotic, but now things ran smoothly and orderly.

Late-night snacks were a lively affair. A bunch of married women gathered around gossiping, while Luis and Lily sat obediently to the side, focusing on eating.

When the topic turned to the conflict with Old Peter, Lilyʼs mother was in high spirits, feeling proud and vindicated.

She drank one glass of wine after another, thoroughly delighted. The way she looked at her son-in-law was full of deep satisfaction and smugness.

On the surface, her husband Arthur was the one standing in front, but the truth was, it was Luis who had come up with the idea. Without her son-in-law, the property management wouldnʼt have cooperated at all.

Poor Arthur had been used as a tool with no recognition whatsoever. Luis had stayed in the background handing out ideas, and that alone had made his mother-in-lawʼs heart nearly melt with joy.

”Ah, I have to say, Yana is the lucky one!”

”Exactly. Her husband died so young… Iʼm so jealous I could die.”

The conversation among these middle-aged women was absolutely wicked. In their eyes, Yana was the happiest of them all.

Her husband died early, so she didnʼt have to take care of him. What incredible luck. Now she lived a carefree life and was doing pretty well.

”Oh, come on, you guys. Whatʼs there to be jealous about?”

As Yana spoke, she secretly glanced at Luis. With her husband gone, having a suitable lover by her side was wonderful. Her only regret was little Lily, whom she had raised with her own hands.

But ever since she discovered that Lily had issues with her sexual orientation, that guilt and sense of wrongdoing had lightened considerably.

Occasionally letting Lily take advantage of her during breast massages or other times when she played dumb, in Yanaʼs eyes, was a form of compensation that made her feel better.

Late into the night, after eating and drinking their fill, everyone went home. Yana had left with some other women, so there was no chance to make a move.

They got home honestly, but as soon as Luis opened the door, he noticed something was wrong.

The floor was vibrating with a buzzing sound, like construction work downstairs with a power drill, but a drill couldnʼt run that continuously and steadily.

”Whatʼs going on?”

Ruth asked, her eyes hazy with drunkenness and her voice filled with confusion.

Luis closed the door behind him, thought for a moment, and said, ”It should be one of those ʼbuilding-shaking devices.ʼ Youʼve probably seen them online.”

Few people had actually seen one, but many had heard of them. The news usually reported satisfying outcomes. No wonder it felt so powerful, like the whole building was shaking.

”Damn that old bastard.”

Ruth couldnʼt help but curse. Lily furrowed her delicate brows and said, ”How are we supposed to sleep like this? Mom, you should sleep upstairs tonight. Tomorrow weʼll figure out how to deal with this.”

”Iʼll come up after I shower!”

Ruth cursed her bad luck and went to take a bath.

The young couple also took a romantic shower together. Afterward, Lily wore only her panties and a little camisole, while Luis sat in front of the computer in just a pair of boxers.

Ruth came upstairs drying her hair, wearing a sexy silk nightgown. Now she didnʼt even bother with a bra. With every step she took, the sway of her cleavage had an utterly shocking impact.

Before Luis had moved in as a live-in son-in-law, the women in the house had worn even skimpier clothes than this. Now things were gradually getting back to that point.

Lily didnʼt mind at all. Even if her husband looked at her mother with lustful eyes, she wasnʼt jealous.

After all, at home, you wear whatever feels comfortable.

As a woman herself, she knew how uncomfortable it was to wear a bra in the summer. If your skin was sensitive, you could even get heat rashes. There was no need to be so restrained at home.

Since the women didnʼt mind being looked at, Lily didnʼt mind her husband looking. It wasnʼt like he was losing anything by enjoying the view.

”Mindaʼs really efficient, isnʼt she?”

Ruth stood beside Luis, watching the surveillance clips he had pulled up.

The fact that Minda had gone from being a mistress to a firmly established concubine proved she was no mere trophy wife.

After all, Dominic had had so many affairs that he probably couldnʼt even remember how many women heʼd slept with.

The events of the day were temporarily over, but Minda had taken the matter to heart.

She was clever and had people watching Old Peterʼs movements. Within the community, setting up surveillance was no challenge for her.

The first clip she sent showed the hallway downstairs and the elevator entrance, now equipped with a high-definition camera that could also record audio.

In the footage, Old Peterʼs apartment door stood wide open. The father and son were having a fierce argument.

Old Peter shouted, ”Who told you to pay the property management fee? Why spend that kind of ill-gotten money? Have some self-respect. What have I always taught you?”

Pete, furious and frustrated, yelled back, ”If I donʼt pay, weʼll end up in court! How will Lantaʼs parents see me then?”

”You have a grudge with them, go fight with them yourself! Why drag her parents into it?”

”Just to save a little money, you had to start a fight right in front of them. Youʼve completely disgraced us.”

Old Peter was the type who never backed down, always aggressive even when wrong. He roared, ”So what? I didnʼt do it on purpose.”

”What kind of wealth do they have? How dare they look down on me? That dinner I treated them to cost over twenty dollars!”

”So what if I saved some card money? Whatʼs the problem?”

Father and son were locked in an explosive argument. Pete, absolutely livid, shouted, ”Weʼre about to get married! Are you doing this just to spite me?”

”Bullshit, itʼs no big deal. Quit making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Pete, utterly furious, said, ”Then what about my car? My boss needs the vehicle! I can make excuses for a day, but if I donʼt pick him up tomorrow, heʼll get suspicious.”

”If I lose my job, what do I do?”

”My boss has been so good to me. If he finds out the truth, I wonʼt be able to show my face.”

”Bullshit! So youʼve got a wife and forgotten your father, huh?”

Old Peter, always unreasonable, pointed a finger at Peteʼs nose and cursed, ”If you lose your job, find another one. Youʼre a grown man with hands and feet. Even if you beg on the streets, you wonʼt starve.”

”Stop with the nonsense, begging? How would Lanta and I get married like that?”

”Marry the rooster and follow the rooster. If she changes her mind over something like this, what good is a woman like that?”

Watching the father and son argue, the kind-hearted Lily sighed and said, ”I kind of feel sorry for his son.”

Luis said casually, ”Yeah, the harm of a toxic family is huge. When parents are shitty, the children are the ones who suffer.”

Even Ruthʼs heart softened a bit. She said, ”Son-in-law, I donʼt think his son is that bad. If he were willing to admit his mistake, maybe we shouldnʼt be too harsh.”

Peteʼs face turned green with rage as he cursed loudly, ”Enough! If you canʼt help me, then donʼt make things worse for me!”

”It took so much effort for Lantaʼs family to finally accept me, and her father is willing to support our new family. Are you trying to destroy me?”

”If youʼre not filial, why are you even alive? Youʼre going to turn against your own father for some worthless woman, arenʼt you?”

The father and son parted ways on terrible terms.

Luis agreed, then sneered, ”What a fucking idiot. Heʼs absolutely hated by gods and men alike!”

As he spoke, Luis called the property management office and told the security guard on duty to pull the main power switch at Old Peterʼs apartment.
