Chapter 506 Total Chaos at the Saunders Household

Yunice hadn’t come to the Saunders family home today just to get humiliated. But with trash, sometimes you need trash to clean it up—today’s mess was just getting started.

Sure enough, Peggy didn’t treat Mr. Terrance with an ounce of respect. “I call you an old coot and you’re offended? Look at you, embarrassing yourself again!”

“It’s the modern era. No one needs their parents’ approval or a matchmaker’s word anymore. As long as I’ve got a marriage certificate, forget you—even if Owen’s own mother didn’t approve, no one’s breaking us up, got it?”

“If you really can’t stand your niece-in-law, then there’s the door—don’t let it hit you on the way out.”

Peggy’s voice rang out like a bell, grinding Mr. Terrance’s face into the dirt with zero regard.

He turned pale and wide-eyed in fury. He never imagined this woman would be so savage. Glaring at Owen, he barked, “Owen! Slap her mouth! Show her who runs this family!”

“Uh…” Owen flinched at being called out. He knew if he dared hit Peggy, she’d either slap him back or call the cops and report him for domestic abuse. Either way, he’d be screwed.

Owen didn’t move. Peggy just laughed. “That’s a good question—you’re asking who runs this family? The surname here is Saunders. What’s a Moore like you doing running your mouth on Saunders territory?”

Mr. Terrance’s face turned beet red. He couldn’t even come up with a comeback and just kept glaring, pressing Owen again: “Owen! What are you standing there for? Hit this shrew already! You call yourself a man and can’t even keep your wife in line?”

“Ooooh, how impressive—” Peggy crossed her arms and taunted him, “So this is what being a real man looks like? You show your manliness by beating women?”

She stuck out her face, tapped her cheek. “Go on, hit me. Thirty grand a slap. Come on—”

Owen’s face turned crimson. He was completely stuck. Peggy had him so terrified, he didn’t dare raise a hand. He knew if he did, she’d retaliate, and hard.

Seeing his hesitation, Mr. Terrance was fuming. He widened his eyes and growled, “How did your mother give birth to such a useless thing? Can’t even handle your own wife! Fine, if you won’t do it, I’ll teach her myself!”

Just as he rolled up his sleeves, Peggy rammed into his chest with a headbutt. He staggered back several steps and plopped down hard into a chair.

Peggy casually brushed her bangs aside. “Aren’t you a little old to be pretending you’re still young and tough?”

Mr. Terrance gawked at her, clearly stunned by her ferocity.

But unwilling to admit defeat, he clutched his chest and began faking a scene. “Ugh, ugh. She’s trying to kill me!”

Even though Owen knew he was faking, he still didn’t want things to get any uglier. He helped hold him up and frowned at Peggy. “Just apologize to him already!”

Mr. Terrance wheezed in Owen’s arms, pointing at Peggy with trembling fingers. “Words aren’t enough. I need a real apology and a hundred thousand in medical expenses!”

Peggy snorted. “What, you made of gold? One hundred grand? You’ve gone insane.”

Owen snapped. “Can you shut up and just apologize already?!”

Peggy folded her arms, eyes rolling to the ceiling. “In your dreams.”

Mr. Terrance looked between the useless Owen and Lily. “You’re all just going to let her run wild?”

Lily looked extremely uncomfortable. No matter how skilled she was, she couldn’t get a handle on Peggy. The woman was a force of nature—soft didn’t work, hard didn’t either.

If there had been a way to keep her out, she would’ve taken it. But right now… there wasn’t.

Seeing no one would back him up, Mr. Terrance spat, “Fine, fine. You people really are something—letting a woman walk all over you like this. I’m embarrassed for you!”

“Fine. Don’t say a word. I’ll go tell everyone just how pathetic you lot are. Let’s see if you can still show your faces after that!”

Owen, now completely humiliated, couldn’t help but turn to Yunice and shout, “Yunice! Are you going to do something about your people or not?!”

With that roar, all eyes shifted back to Yunice.

She held her teacup, looking slightly out of the loop.

Just as everyone wondered what this had to do with her, Elsie sprang up, red-eyed and pleading to Yunice. “Yunice, please don’t let her keep hurting people!”

Mr. Terrance blinked. “What do you mean by that, Elsie? I’m not following.”

Elsie, still on the ground, turned her head and said, “Peggy’s actually Yunice’s friend. She’s been badmouthing the family nonstop, and that’s why Peggy keeps helping her go against us.”

She even wiped away a tear, looking completely helpless. “In this house, Peggy only listens to Yunice. If you want her to apologize, you’ll have to beg Yunice personally.”
