chapter 18 Okay, my mother forgives you!

How... How could this be!
Adalynn was completely stunned. She stared at the piece of toilet paper filled with writing, unable to accept the reality before her eyes.
"Resurrection Pill? Is that guy's prescription real?"
Beads of sweat, as large as beans, streamed down from Adalynn's forehead.
It's over!
She never dreamed that Bella's family, who were almost certainly going to be expelled from the clan, would ultimately be helped by her own actions to reverse their fortunes.
Even more so, Esai, with this prescription, managed to wrest away the power held by his great-uncle Draco and father Hotah.
But that was not all!
At this moment, Mr. Niall, holding the prescription, his hands trembling with excitement, said to old Mr. White,
"Old Master, may... may I meet the person who wrote this prescription?"
This prescription solved a problem that had plagued him for years.
Mr. Niall was grateful and admiring.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of person could have completely deciphered and described the Resurrection Pill's formula so accurately.
Hearing this!
Old Mr. White naturally wouldn't refuse. His face flushed with excitement, he said to Bella with a pleasant expression,
"Bella, quick, call that waste... no, Tacito! Have him come over in person!"
At this moment, Bella's mind was still crashing.
After all, everything had come too suddenly.
Just hearing this, she twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth, then, bracing herself, said,
"Grandfather... Grandfather! Tacito doesn't have a mobile phone!"
What!
Hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned.
No mobile phone?
In this day and age, even street beggars each have a mobile phone, yet Tacito doesn't have one.
At this moment, everyone fully recalled Tacito's low status in the White family.
Immediately, the old master pondered for a moment, then was about to say something more.
But Mr. Niall, standing nearby, quickly said,
"Old Master, no need to make a call! Send someone to invite him! After all, no matter how Tacito obtained this prescription, he is definitely the number one hero of the White family!"
Mr. Niall's words made old Mr. White nod slightly.
He then turned his gaze to Pelagio and said,
"Pelagio! Go and bring Tacito here!"
"Yes, Grandfather!" Pelagio's face was filled with complexity, but he could only nod his head and then quickly left the main hall!
Watching Pelagio's figure, Bella's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Even she, as his wife, had not expected that her worthless husband, by casually writing something, would reverse the situation and bring her glory and power!
...
Meanwhile!
At Bella's home, the atmosphere was oppressive and somber.
Mother-in-law Esme sat quietly on the sofa, her graceful face now almost dripping with gloom.
Facing her sat a middle-aged woman and a handsome young man.
The woman was Second Elder Hotah's wife, Magnolia Yancy.
The young man was Magnolia's son-in-law, Adalynn's husband, Haroun Lott!
At this moment, Second Aunt Magnolia, touching the exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist, said with a face full of pride,
"Sister-in-law, look, this is the white jade bracelet my son-in-law Haroun bought for me, crafted by a famous jade artisan! Just the crafting fee cost over a hundred thousand, and with the cost of the white jade, it's worth five or six hundred thousand!"
Showing off!
Blatant boasting.
Esme felt like she was going crazy. Magnolia had been flaunting with her son-in-law since the morning, boasting in front of her for half a day, driving her almost insane.
"Ah! I kept telling Haroun not to buy such expensive things for me, but he wouldn't listen! After all, it's also a gesture of filial piety from my son-in-law!" Magnolia was extremely pleased with herself.
Especially as Esme's face grew uglier, she felt even more delighted.
Beside her, Haroun Lott also quickly said,
"Mom! You maintain yourself very well! Only this white jade bracelet is worthy of you!"
After saying this, Haroun Lott couldn't help but look at Esme and said with a smile,
"Auntie, I see you also maintain yourself quite well. Why not also ask Tacito to buy you a pair of white jade bracelets?"
As Haroun Lott spoke, his gaze inadvertently fell on Tacito, who was mopping the floor, his eyes brimming with schadenfreude.
This remark struck Esme's heart.
Making her look even more unpleasant.
"Giggle... Haroun, not everyone is as successful
as you! Tacito has been unemployed for years, where would he get the money to buy your aunt a jade bracelet!" Magnolia's face was full of joy.
Her gaze then shifted to Tacito, who was mopping the floor, filled with disdain and mockery,
"What do you expect from a man who spends his days washing clothes and mopping floors?"
"By the way, Haroun, didn't your company just land a big contract with the White Group? Why not let Tacito help you out?" As Adalynn's husband and Hotah's son-in-law, Haroun Lott's company also relied on the White Group's support.
Now that his business was booming, it naturally became Magnolia's most proud achievement.
"Help out?"
Haroun Lott put on a troubled expression, then said,
"Tacito probably can't handle ordinary tasks! Currently in the company, there is one job that's perfect for him! Aunt, why don't you consider it?"
Hearing this!
Esme also glanced at Tacito, who was mopping the floor, her lips twitched slightly, filled with disappointment and anger.
"Say it! What position?"
"If it's suitable, Tacito can give it a try!"
Esme shook her head, utterly disappointed and heartbroken with her son-in-law.
However, at that moment!
"Cleaning toilets, perhaps!"
What!
This statement stunned Esme, then, reacting, her anger surged.
"Aunt, our company's employees are all elite individuals! Naturally, Tacito can't do it! But seeing how cleanly he mops the floor, I'm sure he can clean toilets very well!"
Haroun Lott's face was full of mockery, and he shouted at Tacito,
"Tacito, how about it? Want to come to my company to clean toilets? I'll pay you ten thousand a month!"
Humiliation!
A slap in the face!
Esme couldn't believe how excessive Haroun Lott was.
Immediately, she stood up angrily and said,
"Haroun Lott, what do you mean! No matter how incompetent Tacito is, he is still my son-in-law, Esme! What right do you have to humiliate him like this!"
Esme's fury surged to the extreme.
Humiliating Tacito was humiliating herself; how could she bear it.
But seeing this scene!
Second Aunt Magnolia just giggled,
"My sister-in-law, why get angry? Besides, my son-in-law didn't say anything wrong! Tacito has no diplomas, no abilities!"
"Letting him clean toilets is already helping him! Besides, offering him a salary of ten thousand! Where else can you find such a good deal!"
Magnolia's face was full of schadenfreude.
And Haroun Lott, with a face full of mockery, said,
"Aunt, don't be angry! In my opinion, Tacito doesn't even qualify to clean toilets in our company!"
"A completely useless person! Letting him clean toilets is already showing him pity!"
Saying this!
Haroun Lott's smile gradually turned sinister,
"Heh heh... Also, Aunt, don't be too quick to refuse! After today, even if your family begs to clean toilets in my company, I might not even accept you!"
What!
"Haroun Lott, what do you mean?" Esme's face turned ashen.
But Haroun Lott said with a smile,
"What I mean, Aunt should understand! In this White family council, only Uncle couldn't present a cure for as pneumonia! After today, I'm afraid your family will be homeless!"
"So, why not have your son-in-law Tacito kneel and beg me now? I might show great mercy and give him this toilet-cleaning job, how about that? Hahaha..."
Haroun Lott laughed wildly.
And Magnolia's face was full of mockery and schadenfreude.
Boom!
At that moment, Esme felt her anger surge to her head, nearly driving her mad.
She finally understood that these two people coming to her house were not just showing off!
But... humiliation!
Esme trembled with rage, her teeth chattering.
But before she could react, she saw Tacito, who had been mopping the floor leisurely, come over.
He glanced at his mother-in-law, whose face was ashen, and then said,
"Mom, does this person make you very angry?"
Angry?
Esme felt like she was about to explode with rage and nodded.
But seeing this scene!
Haroun Lott sneered and looked provocatively at Tacito, saying,
"What? Tacito, do you want to stand up for her? Let me tell you, your mom is angry, entirely because of you, you waste..."
Slap!!
Before Haroun Lott could finish his sentence, a slap fiercely landed on his face.
Instantly, he staggered, completely dazed.
But that was not the end!
Tacito still looked at Esme and asked,
"Mom, are you still angry?"
Esme was stunned.
Magnolia was dumbfounded!
Neither of them had expected the usually silent Tacito to suddenly act without a word.
At this moment, Esme stared blankly at everything, without any reaction.
"It seems you are still angry!"
Tacito nodded, then delivered another harsh slap!
Slap!
Once again, the slap landed on Haroun Lott's face, knocking out several of his teeth, and blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
"Mom, are you still angry?"
Slap!
Another slap fell!
"Mom, are you still angry?"
Slap!
Yet another slap!
...
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the hall turned incredibly eerie.
Haroun Lott, like a beaten dog, was dragged by his clothes by Tacito, receiving slap after slap on his face.
His entire face was bloodied and bruised.
And Tacito, as if merely swatting a fly, expressionless, continued to slap him, asking Esme each time whether she was still angry.
At this moment, Esme and Magnolia could hardly believe their eyes.
Was this still the weak and bully-able Tacito?
Was this the useless son-in-law who was mocked and ridiculed every day?
They only saw that Haroun Lott had no power to fight back in Tacito's hands, like a fool whose brain had stopped working after being beaten.
Blood flowed freely, skin torn and flesh exposed!
Slap!!!
It was only after another loud slap that Esme jolted back to reality, her expression changing dramatically.
"Tacito, stop!"
Huh?
Tacito paused, then nodded,
"Alright, my mom has forgiven you!"
Saying this, he tossed Haroun Lott aside like a dead dog.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he picked up the mop again and continued to clean the stains on the floor.
